If your problem is general training, such as pulling on the lead or recall please see our training page. If you are still unsure if you need a behaviour consult or training one to one send us a message with some brief details on the contact form and we can direct you to the most appropriate service. If you would like to chat your worries through before booking, you can opt for one of the triage appointments initially. After our discussions, if you decide to book, you will receive a partial refund of the cost of your triage appointment.
