Behaviour Can Be Complex

 Whether an owner rings me because they are upset about their dog's behaviour, or because they want training to 'fix' a problem,  I don't know if I will see something simple or complex. Therefore for all face to face private clients,  the first visit is an Assessment Visit, priced the same for all clients with optional upgrade to Full Behavioural Service.

 

 ASSESSMENT VISITS

 Initial behavioural assessment visits, of approximately two hours duration.

​

However, often the longer a problem is left, the worse the prognosis. So in some cases less practical work will be achieved

​

Whether I arrive to something I consider just needs basic training advice and a little guidance or a significantly dangerous situation requiring emergency management, during the assessment visit, advice IS also given to whatever level I can manage within the time. Including practical training  exercises where safe to work with the dog.

​

In most cases, advice is fluid and at least one follow up session is advised for best results.

 

 

HOWEVER, sometimes I arrive to problems which I am not comfortable advising on without veterinary approval. This may be linked to health OR behaviour, or both!

In these cases, the assessment visit is still charged for but if the client does not follow advice to have me liaise with their vet, including forwarding veterinry history, I will be unable to provide full advice.

​

Following an initial session and payment, emailed summary and relevant training notes are usually provided as complementary.

 

FULL BEHAVIOURAL SERVICE.

This service, includes assessment visit as above PLUS  two further time-flexible direct sessions within six weeks, written reports as necessary, unlimited email support and unlimited veterinary liaison.

​

If you have not yet made contact and feel you would like this level of support with YOUR dog, I do provide it for all clients. However I need your written permission for your vet to discuss your pet's history with me and vice versa.   The Veterinary Referral Form also contains a behaviour questionnaire which any clients are welcome to use and give me prior to normal Assessment Visits.

​

Clients who choose to upgrade to the Full behavioural Service, can bolt the other two sessions on from the Assessment Visit.

Also sessions can be booked per hour.

​

​

TELEPHONE ADVICE

Available either to new or existing clients.

Please note; NOT ALL issues are suitable for full telephone advice, this will be discussed in a short call prior to payment being taken. Payment is due in advance and a timeslot is booked.

Following payment

I may request vet history, video clips and a more extensive questionnaire to be completed by the client prior to the call. If the timeslot is missed by the client, ONE further slot will be offered. if this is missed, no refund will be due

Trigony Training Packages

In 2023 I was asked to take over the residential training service at Trigony.

This  is a super opportunity and great price to get a full eight hours of training advice. The Hotal has been slow to update the page, so the current wording is that of the previous trainer; I have waited and waited,and am finally linking; Please note,I am extremely unlilely to be 'disciplining anyone's dog'!.. However the fee is great, the Hotel a wonderful place to both stay at and work from,and if you are interested in this service please apply directly from the Hotel' website. Your form would be passed to me and I would liaise directly before you commit to your stay.
