No matter how hard we try to build a relationship with our dogs and cats, sometimes things just go wrong and our beloved pets develop a behavioural problem. Once these behaviours become a problem the joys of owning a pet is often lost and the relationship with your dog or cat becomes strained. In these circumstances it is important to seek help from a suitably qualified Companion Animal Behaviourist to help you put your relationship back on track. The first step should always be to have your vet check out your pet for any underlying medical problems that could be causing the behaviour. If no such problem is found your vet will then be able to refer you on to a behaviourist. We are happy to accept referals from UK veterinarians.

I hold the COAPE Advanced Diploma in Companion Animal Behaviour and Training, which is a recognised profesional qualification in companion animal behaviour and am an affilate member of COAPE Association of Pet Behaviourists and Trainers am now offering behaviour consultations on referral from UK veterinary practices.

I follow the EMRA Approach, which is a truly holistic approach, looking at the whole dog to find a solution to the problems presenting themselves and not just fire fighting the behaviour without taking a look at the whole dog and the environment he or she lives in. We do not just offer a behavioural consultation but will work closely with you throughout the treatment process to resolve the issues you are experiencing with your pet.

If your pet suffers from any of the following behaviour problems we should be able to help:

• Attention Seeking
• Pulling on the lead
• Recall problems
• Excessive Barking
• Destructive Behaviour
• Seperation Related Problems
• Compulsive behaviours
• Indoor spraying
• House training problems
• Excitablity
• Stealing and Guarding behaviours
• Phobias and Fears

Behaviour consultations are typically 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours long and are charged at £40 per hour.
