Booking: When you book your Behaviour Package you will be asked to fill in a brief questionnaire about you, your family and your dog. Shortly after your booking form is received you will receive an email with a veterinary consent form attached. For all behaviour consultations we are required to obtain veterinary consent and your dogs fully clinical history. It is important that we have a collaborative relationship with your vet as medical issues can play a huge part in behavioural problems, and behavioural problems can be the most obvious symptoms of medical problems! We will keep your vet is kept fully informed of our progress so your dog's records can be updated.
Part 1: History, First Aid and Management: (Approx two to three hours).
The first part of your consultation involves us having a fairly long conversation about how your dog's life and the problem behaviours you are experiencing. This will include lots of questions about your dog's daily routine, medical history, and prior experiences. We do not need to see your dog for this initial conversation so we usually set up an online meeting via zoom. If you prefer to meet face to face you are welcome to come to our office in Llanellen, however, it is unlikely that your dog will also be able to attend. If you are worried about this for any reason please give us a ring and we can talk through the options.
Following our initial conversation you will receive an email with a summary of our conversation, steps that you will need to put in place to help your dog prior to starting training, and any relevant handouts.
Part 2: In Person Meet your Dog and Review:
The next step is where we will meet you and your dog in person and review your progress based on the recommendations in your management and training plan so far, and make any further recommendations or changes that may be needed. This is usually at our training ground in Llanellen, but can be at your home if needed (travel costs may apply). How long this session will be depends on the package you book.
Part 3: Behaviour Report
Following our in person session you will receive a Behaviour Report and detailed behaviour modification and training plan to help you and your dog get things back on track. A summary of our recommendations will also be sent to your vet.
Part 4: Training Sessions:
Depending on the package you book you may have further training sessions where we will assist you to work through your behaviour modification and training plan. If you didn't book a behaviour package you can still book add-on sessions as and when you need them. We will send you links to do this along with your Behaviour Report.
* Please note: Travel charges may be added for home visits or travelling from out from our training ground.
