Some of the behaviours we can help with through our behaviour counselling service:

  • Fearfulness during everyday activities or when exposed to particular environments or stimuli (noises, fireworks, traffic, vets, travelling, equipment)

  • Destructiveness

  • Distressed behaviour when left alone

  • Excessive or undesirable barking

  • Repetitive behaviour 

  • Inappropriate toileting 

We can offer you help with training:

  • Focus and engagement

  • Loose lead walking

  • Recall

  • Keeping four feet on the floor

  • Basic obedience

  • Leaving items

  • Settling down and staying calm

  • Advice and training on the use of suitable equipment (harnesses, muzzles, leads)

  • Co-operative care for handling procedures such as veterinary treatments and grooming to make it a nicer experience for both of you

We can also help with more straightforward training issues. With all the information out there, it is sometimes hard to know which is the best approach to take and you can feel like you've tried everything but you are not seeing the improvements you would like. Contented Canines can help you get focus and engagement from your dog using reward-based, welfare friendly techniques. We offer customised, 1 to 1 training sessions for tackling particular training issues or for teaching new skills. 

Contented Canines specialises in helping struggling dog owners have a happier life with their dog.

At Contented Canines we understand how upsetting it can be living with a dog that is exhibiting unwanted behaviours and how difficult it can be to manage their behaviour day to day. We want to support you to help your dog be more content and provide you with a more rewarding relationship.
