Dog Behaviour and Training

Dogs can develop problems at any time in their life and it's not always clear what the cause is. From separation anxiety and general nervousness, to over-boisterous behaviour, jumping up, barking and even aggression - with you and your problematic pooch we can work together to improve unwanted behaviours.

The best way of avoiding problems with your dog is good training at the puppy stage but for various reasons that's not always possible and even then, despite your best efforts, your dog can still develop bad habits due to changes in environment - small things that may seem insignificant to you can have a huge impact on a dog. This is nothing to be ashamed of. We love our animals so much that we can't always see an easy way to change the unacceptable behaviour.

Common dog behavioural problems that I encounter include...

• House/toilet training issues
• Aggression
• Pulling on the lead
• Lack of response to recall
• Separation anxiety
• Food guarding
• Excessive barking
• Car sickness
• Guarding
• Chewing

The good news is, these behaviours can be managed and often corrected entirely.
