Behaviour Consultation
As a PROVISIONAL member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors, I can offer consultations on dog behaviour issues. I follow the APBC code of conduct. https://www.apbc.org.uk/code-of-conduct-and-complaints-procedure/
A behaviour consultation should ideally come from a vet referral. Or at least with evidence that a vet has examined your dog sufficiently to rule out any medical reason for the behaviour issue. Very many behaviour issues come from undiagnosed pain or illness.
After the initial contact, I will send a behaviour questionnaire for you to complete (You can do this at the consultation, but it is better if I have studied it first). Then we will meet for a consultation of up to two hours. I will write a full report based on all the information gathered with a proposed programme for you. We will then meet again for a post-report meeting to go through it, and I will complete a timeline with you to support implementation of the plan. You may be able to follow the programme independently or with follow-up support. You should share this report with your vet. This package costs £170.
