Behaviour Support Program
Tailor-made for you, your dog and the problems you have, no two programs are the same, because no two dogs are the same!
How it works
A Behaviour Support Program starts with an Initial Behaviour Consultation, which lasts approximately 2 hours. We will discuss everything about your dog, your lifestyle together and your goals.
We will put easy-to-practice techniques into place from day one to ensure bad habits aren’t being practised and new associations can begin to be built.
Each week, we will have a coaching session together, on the same day and at the same time, to ensure you have enough time to practice the new techniques. Weekly sessions together ensure we’re on the right track and progress is being made. We will take everything at your dog’s pace.
Support in your pocket
Throughout the program, we have a Pocket Pal Coaching group set up, this is between myself, you and your family (and dog walker too – if you have one).
Here I will share advice, videos and voice clips with you, I will ask you to send me videos and regular updates throughout each week too. I will watch each video and give you feedback and advice.
There is no need to wait until our sessions, your Pocket Pal Coaching group is so you can use me as your google!! I want to be the one who you fire all of your questions at, use me and lean on me for support as much as you feel you need to.
Free e-book and Facebook community
I will also send you my ‘Are You Meeting Your Dog’s Requirements’ e-book to get you well only our way before we even meet.
As part of my ongoing support for you and your dog, I invite you to join my free Facebook support group for my clients. Here you can ask me questions, share videos and updates about your dog and join live chats, live q&a’s and live topic talks!
Free access to my online training & behaviour platform
I will create our Pocket Pal Coaching group ahead of time and send you a code, giving you two months’ access to my online training and behaviour platform, completely free! In here, you can watch the videos relevant to changing behaviour, and to the behaviour problem you currently have to get you well on your way before we even meet.

FAQ.
Will my dog grow out of it?
As lovely and simple as that would be…..it’s very unlikely. Behaviour is driven by emotions, and just like us, dogs don’t tend to just grow out of how they are feeling.
You may have previously noticed the odd grumble, the odd bark and lunge, the odd overreaction to a perfectly normal situation – but now, you can pretty much predict that your dog will grumble, or bark and lunge, or overreact in that situation.
This is because the emotions that are driving the behaviour are getting more intense, and the message your dog is trying to communicate isn’t working, therefore the behaviour will continue to get worse.
What methods will we be using with my dog?
Can you guarantee results?
This could be something super exciting, horribly terrifying or incredibly frustrating.
To guarantee that I could change this behaviour expression you are seeing would mean completely disregarding the fact that your dog is a living animal with their own feelings.
The only guarantee that I can or will ever give you is that I will do my very best to support you, give you access to all of my knowledge and experience and always put your dog’s needs first in order to improve their quality of life. That’s it.
Now, that’s not to say I can’t help you to reach your goals, but having an understanding of where behaviour comes from, why your dog is expressing themselves in that manner – whether it is desirable or not – and how to work towards the goals you have is what I do best!
