I specialise in cases related to sensitive and anxious behaviours, rescue and overseas dogs, as well as puppy and adolescent coaching covering Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, Newton Abbot, Totnes, Teignmouth, and Dawlish.
SUPPORT FOR SENSITIVE DOGS
Do you feel overwhelmed supporting your anxious or sensitive dog? Feel sad your dog doesn't enjoy their walks, or hesitates when out? Do you feel frustrated you can't calm your anxious dog down? Or have lost confidence about what to do as they seem scared about the world around them. Wishing you could help, understand and make daily life less stressful for them and yourself.
I can relate and understand how difficult it can be living and caring for a dog with mixed emotions, sensitivities and fear related behaviours, feeling unsure what steps to take to support them. Working with me, I offer behavioural assessments which can be in person appointments or via zoom, depending on the location but also more importantly how your dog feels if they struggle with people.
Behaviour Assessment £195- 3 Month Support
You complete an online history form and I will ask for your consent to a vet history or request to have your dog vet checked.
I then arrange the assessment, meeting you and your dog in person either in your home, an outside environment or via zoom initially discussing in detail and collect additional information from observations and data gathering of your dogs daily life.
We then arrange another appointment to continue the behaviour assessment to gather further observations, explore other contributing factors in a managed environment depending on the case to enable the best advice and support, including the physical, mental, social and emotional needs of your dog.
I will send you handouts, resources, and a tailored support plan, with details and recommendations from the appointments best suited for the care and support for your dog. This also covers 3 month telephone call, email support in between sessions, which is included in the cost.
*(If outside of Torquay an additional fee maybe added)
Ongoing in person appointments or coaching walk £45
Ongoing sessions for continued support, leading on from the behavioural assessments or 121 training.
We will catch up in person every other week or once a month, depending on the case or training needs.
To discuss progress and plans for the weeks ahead.
Support via email, telephone or via Whatsapp in between sessions to answer any questions, concerns and updates you may have.
