Dog to Human problems
For dogs who show anxiety around humans
and try to run and hide, bark, snap or growl.
Dog to human problems
It can be distressing when your dog is showing anxiety and worry around you or other family members. You may feel constantly on edge and avoid having friends and family round to your home because of worrying.
Every time something happens with a dog on the news your anxiety may increase. You feel stressed and on edge much of the time around others.
Your dog may be sensitive to sounds in the environment such as fireworks and people or dogs who are walking past the home.
What should I think about first?
You can contact me to see how I can support you and how we could work together.
What should I do now I want to go ahead?
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. This is an important part of the behavioural service, you can read more on this here. Please note I do not work without veterinary referral.
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 is 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 dog and get the relief and results you need (core and intensive packages)
- A behavioural report outlining everything regarding your dogs behaviour and what to do to change it.
- A report to your vet
- Remote support via email/ WhatsApp for 1 hour - I'm here for you.
- Access to useful resources and videos.
- Liaising with your vet incase their input is required at any stage.
- If you are more than 45 minutes drive from AL1 3TF then we can offer all support remotely via zoom/phone/email.
If you would prefer an in-person consultation initially then this may be possible (depending on location and situation ), so please contact me to discuss yours and your dog's needs.
