1-2-1 Behaviour Modification

Support For Dogs Who Need Understanding, Not Training

Behaviour modification is for dogs whose struggles go beyond everyday manners - where fear, anxiety, aggression, reactivity or stress-based behaviours are affecting quality of life for both dog and owner.

This isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level obedience. It’s about understanding why the behaviour is happening and putting the right plan in place to create real, lasting change.

​

Covering:

Lead reactivity

Barking/lunging

Dog-to-dog aggression

Dog-to-human aggression

Multi-dog household issues

Anxious behaviour

Frustration

Overstimulation/hyperactivity

Resource guarding

Noise phobias

Separation anxiety

​

​Why it matters
When behaviour is driven by emotion rather than choice, traditional training alone often isn’t enough.​ Behaviour modification focuses on:

​

Understanding the root cause of behaviour, not just the symptoms

Reducing stress, fear and trigger stacking

Creating safe, manageable progress rather than pushing dogs beyond their limits

Supporting owners with clear guidance, structure and reassurance

Improving welfare as well as behaviour

​

The goal isn’t perfection - it’s better coping skills, calmer responses and improved quality of life for everyone involved.​​

How It Works

Behaviour Packages

Behaviour packages start off with an initial 1.5hr behaviour assessment and are followed with a personalised behaviour report and training plan. 

From there, each package includes a set number of follow-up sessions and ongoing support, depending on the level of help you and your dog need - from focused guidance for a single issue, right through to long-term support for complex behavioural challenges.

​​

Bronze: Assessment + 2 Follow-ups

Silver: Assessment + 4 Follow-ups

Gold: Assessment + 6 Follow-ups

Platinum: Assessment + 8 Follow-ups

​

Standalone Assessment

Our standalone behaviour assessment is ideal if you need a clear, professional overview of your dog's behaviour - whether for veterinary support, rescue involvement, rehoming guidance, or for your own peace of mind.​

You'll receive a comprehensive 1.5 hour assessment, followed by a detailed behaviour report and training plan, giving you clear direction without committing to ongoing sessions or support.

 

Where?

Behaviour Assessments are held in your dog's normal environment, except for special circumstances or remote sessions. Follow-up sessions can be held at your home or in public, where needed.

 

When?

Offered on weekdays (excl Mondays) and some Saturdays

Evenings are not offered
