Clinical Behaviour Support
Supporting behaviour change through practical, ethical, evidence based methods backed by more than a decade of experience.
How is behaviour support structured?
Clinical behaviour assessments are only carried out under veterinary referral and are complimented by an ongoing partnership with your primary care vet.
Due to increased demand, I no longer offer behaviour packages and instead undergo an initial consultation with additional follow-up sessions being booked as you feel you need, dependant on your progress.
Initial behaviour consultation
£300
The initial consultation takes place in your home and lasts 2-3 hours. During this time we explore the behaviour(s) of concern, their origins and ongoing factors. From here we create a customised plan together with your target goals as the primary focus.
Following the consultation I provide a comprehensive report, detailing both the assessment and how-to guides for training exercises discussed. This also goes back to your referring vet. Email and WhatsApp support, as well as veterinary liaising is covered for two months following the session.
In-person follow-up support
£100
1 hour session to follow on from an initial behaviour consultation. This can take place in your home again or your target environment, for example on a walk or your veterinary clinic (with their consent).
Follow-on sessions can be useful for progressing plans already in place, making tweaks were needed and keeping on top of driving towards your goals.
Virtual in-person follow-up support
£55
30-45 minute session undertaken through a virtual meeting room. Again, this must follow-on from an initial behaviour consultation, and the virtual sessions are perfect for keeping on top of updates, going through diary trends or keeping things low stress for dogs who struggle with strangers.
Dog-professional partnerships
There is mounting literature supporting the known links between physical health and behaviour. I am not a vet, and cannot diagnose any medical problem. I can, however, point out potential red flags that may not show up while in your vet's clinic during routine assessments.
If I feel there is a potential underlying medical concern that is causing or contributing to your dog's behaviour or welfare, I will first and foremost refer you back to your primary care vet.
If your dog cannot tolerate veterinary handling, there are also options such as veterinary gait analysis and physiotherapy assessments that can help us to better understand your dog's physical comfort.
