Dog Behaviour and Training Services
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRAINING AND BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT?
Training support can be offered to you and your dog if your dog is usually relaxed and comfortable in every day environments but you need specific coaching on teaching a particular behaviour such as recall or loose lead walking. If your dog exhibits any unwanted behaviours other than those relating directly to the training goal, then they would benefit from behavioural support. If during a training session, your dog is showing signs of stress that indicate they could benefit from more in-depth behavioural support then I will advise you of that and offer you the opportunity to book behavioural support.
Please note as it is vital to correctly diagnose a behaviour problem, it is only possible to give advice over the phone/email after a personal consultation. Dogs that are booked in to attend training sessions that are exhibiting behaviour issues will need to be seen for full behaviour consultations as the training is not likely to be fully effective without addressing the underlying emotion.
