Transform your dog’s behaviour: expert-led sessions

We’re always looking for new ways to help our clients, and we’re confident that our dog behaviour sessions can give owners the tools they need to enjoy even more productive relationships with their pets.

We can help owners of both adult dogs and puppies in a range of ways, from assessing and diagnosing behaviour issues or anything that could contribute towards them, to helping you and your pet to overcome them.

We can also provide referrals to specialists for more serious cases.

Dog behaviour consultations are FREE for Practice Plan clients and £65 for a 30-minute appointment for non-Practice Plan clients.
