For Owners

Help! I’m having problems with my pet!

I am currently offering a limited number of coaching sessions per month.

These can be held remotely, or if preferred and local (within a 15 mile radius of BS20) a house visit can be conducted (additional costs apply*).

The session will last a maximum of 2 hours to give us a chance to chat about:

  • Any problem(s) you are experiencing with your pet – I will explain why your dog, cat or rabbit(s) might be exhibiting certain behaviours. Very often, simply having a better understanding of the problems leads to a huge shift in how you perceive the issues and your pet;
  • What can be implemented to stop the problems from getting any worse;
  • Initial advice on what can be done to improve things.

You will be provided with any relevant handouts and access to other resources and receive 2 weeks’ email support to clarify anything that was discussed.

A veterinary referral will be required prior to booking and if relevant the consultation fee also includes any discussions with the referring vet following the session.

Who are these sessions suitable for?

  • Anyone who is experiencing problems with their pet.
  • Anyone who wants a better understanding of their pet.
  • Anyone who is struggling to find other professional training or behaviour support in a timely manner.
  • Anyone who is keen to get started on the right road with any issue that is being experienced.

(*The cost of an initial remote session is £300. Additional costs apply for local house visits. As a full member of the APBC and a CCAB many pet insurance companies cover the cost of the session – excesses and exclusions will apply. Check your policy documents and insurance company for more information.)

 Behavioural Consultations

Problem Prevention Consultations

Problem Prevention ConsultationsProblem Prevention Consultations are designed for those getting a new dog, rabbit or cat and wanting advice, either before or just after the pet is first brought home. Alternatively, these are suitable if you are expecting a new baby and want advice about how to introduce the new member of the family to your dog, cat or house rabbit to minimise stress for everybody. Information is given about how to prevent behaviour problems arising and set everyone up for success.
