Dog Behavioural Assessment & 1-2-1 Training Sessions

 

Dog Behavioural Assessment Tailored to Every Dog and Owner

Every dog is unique, and so is our approach. Each behavioural assessment is conducted on an individual basis, ensuring that your dog receives the specific attention and support it needs. Our 1-2-1 sessions are designed not only to help your dog but also to educate and empower you as the owner.

 

What to Expect from Your Assessment

 

  • Comprehensive Evaluation: Each assessment lasts up to 90 minutes. We observe your dog’s behaviour first-hand, discuss their entire history and life experiences, and assess your relationship and handling skills.

  • Written Report & Training Plan: You’ll receive a detailed written report outlining our findings, along with a bespoke training plan tailored to your dog’s needs.

  • Follow-Up Support: A complimentary 30-minute 1-2-1 follow-up session is included to review progress and answer any questions.

 

Flexible, Bespoke Recommendations

 

Based on the assessment, we will recommend the most suitable path forward, which may include:

 

  • Group obedience classes for general training needs.

  • Additional 1-2-1 sessions for targeted behaviour modification.

  • Daytime residential sessions for more complex or challenging cases, where your dog stays with us for intensive training and the owner is introduced at the appropriate stage.

 

Realistic Outcomes & Owner Commitment

 

While our expertise and experience enable us to achieve remarkable results, it’s important to understand that behaviour modification is a process. Some behaviours, especially those involving aggression, may not be eliminated entirely but can often be reduced to a manageable level. Success requires ongoing commitment and consistency from the owner, as behaviour change is an evolving process that must be continually evaluated based on your dog’s responses and well-being.

 

The Importance of Experience

 

Dogs are complex, living beings, and their behaviour can be unpredictable. Effective behaviour modification demands years of hands-on experience - something that cannot be gained solely through academic study or casual dog handling. Our team consists of experienced ex-working dog handlers and qualified behaviourists with extensive practical and theoretical knowledge.

 

Why Choose Us?

 

  • Thousands of dogs successfully rehabilitated, including many who were previously recommended for euthanasia by less experienced practitioners.

  • Special expertise in identifying and addressing all types of reactive and aggressive behaviours.

  • Commitment to ethical, evidence-based methods that prioritise your dog’s welfare and long-term happiness.

 

Your dog is in safe, experienced hands. Let us help you achieve the harmonious relationship you’ve always wanted.

Our 18month German Shepherd was reactive to other dogs and people. After attending a behavioural assessment with Sean and Connor we now attend regular basic obedience classes with Caroline. She has been a great help. We still have a long way to go but can see small improvements. Having used other trainers in the past and received what we now think was bad advice we thoroughly recommend these guys.

I had a 1:2:1 with Connor with my three year old Miniature Schnauzer, who is increasingly reactive around other dogs. Both my MS went to obedience classes here when younger, and learned a lot. Connor was able to point out several things that I hadn't considered, and gave good practical advice about how to tackle this. During the session I was able to walk my boy very close to a much larger dog without reaction. I look forward to the next session!

Typical Behavioural Assessments we cover

 

Assessments will normally take place at our premises in a safe controlled environment where we can appropriately test the dogs responses to the necessary triggers and scenarios, without other factors falsely affecting their behaviour. Aggressive/reactive behaviour should never be assessed on the dog's own territory. Home visits will incur additional travel charges based upon distance time/involved and will only be undertaken if it is a specific home based behaviour.

Face to face assessment £350

 

This enables us to see the behaviour firsthand in an environment which is neutral to your dog, thereby removing any territorial behaviour from influencing their response.  It means we can bring out various stooge dogs/people and create certain scenarios in a controlled environment to help us assess the dog's response

Online assessment £195

 

Alternatively, you may request an online assessment which will require you to email 

several videos of your dogs behaviour in advance.  If it is reactive/aggressive behaviour then these videos should show your dog's behavioural issue with more than one individual so we can observe the dog's thresholds, triggers and body language, etc. This is option still involves a follow up report and online thirty minute 121 update discussion.
