One thing that's often brought up in the initial stages of speaking to the client is cost. Behaviourists are different to trainers, however some professionals may offer both.

This article breaks down why behaviourists pricing is higher, its definitely worth a read 🙂

Similar to the veterinary profession, there is a common misconception that animal behaviourists generate a lucrative income. This piece is intended for both pet owners and veterinary professionals to explain and define the cost of a consultation with a clinical animal behaviourist. An online search....

Yesterday I teamed up with Rebecca Partoon Animal Behaviourist - Four Your Paws Only Pet Care at Cuan Wildlife Centre to offer behaviour and training advice as part of FABC. We had a great time, even got to sneak in and judge on the dog show! If you are looking for advice on your dog's behaviour, please do get in touch 🙂

Tonight I visited the lovely Enzo! We worked on some focus exercises to help when he's out and about, to manage walking on lead and build confidence around some things he finds worrying 🙂🐶🐾

I'm sure many dog owners will experience the 'my dog is friendly' dog owners. It's important to raise awareness that not everyone's dogs are sociable or able to socialise. Similarly with people, most would not appreciate a stranger coming into their space.

The yellow dog project aims to provide a bright indicator that the dog wearing it does not want to socialise. These come in the form of yellow bandanas, lead slips, coats etc. If you see a dog with yellow, please give them space and call your dog. This is for the safety of everyone involved.

I can help with any recall training or lead work needed. If you'd like to learn more about the Yellow Dog project, please visit their page or I'm happy to discuss anything 🙂

It seems so obvious doesn't it, "Some Dogs Need Space". Why does your dog need space?

Yesterday I visited the lovely Tiri again to continue work on recall and lead walking! We also introduced some work on drop it and leave it. She did really well and I'm hoping to see her improve over the next few weeks 🙂

A couple of days ago I visited the lovely Tiri, who was learning some of the basics in gundog training, such as Recalling and Lead Work. This bouncy girl did fabulously for her first session, challenging me to train with toys rather than food. ❤️🐶
