A vet referral required - this involves a vet signing a form to confirm behaviour services can take place and sending across your pets clinical history. You can read more on this here. Please note if it is behavioural modification (i.e there is already a problem I need a referral from your vets).
What is involved?
If you are more than 45 minutes drive from AL1 3TF then we can offer all support
remotely via zoom/phone/email. I can recommend other behaviourists to you too.
If you would prefer an in-person consultation initially then this may be possible so contact me.
What is included?
- Pre work prior to the consultation which includes studying your dog's clinical history, creating a timeline of events, and studying the questionnaire (1.5 hours)
- A 1.5 hour consultation which includes why your dog and cat are behaving this way, what to do, how to start to build their confidence straight away.
- Help filling in insurance forms
- 3 or 5 in person sessions where we put in to place techniques to help you and your cat and dog and get the relief and results you need (core and intensive packages)
