I learnt many years ago that if we change our behaviours, the dog instinctively changes too. By changing our mindset it doesn’t just help our dog, it helps us in all areas of our life, to be better parents, partners, in our work life etc. It allows us to see life in a more natural, positive way. 

Consultation  £400.  Well that was a painful budget! I don’t want people to unnecessarily give their dogs up due to behavioural or training issues so I am offering 10% discount off the main consultation price. Payment terms available.

Discount in place until end of November.

(20% discount off the consultation price if you have a voucher)

The consultation begins with a discussion with the family members to establish what has been going on, preferably with the dog in another room. Reason being so you can relax and be honest during the conversation. With the dog in the same room often the owners focus and emotional state is on the dog, not on our conversation. Once I have listened to what you have to say I will then meet and assess your dog. Then we can get to work fixing whatever issues there may be, whilst explaining why the problems manifested in the first place and what to do to stop them from happening again. The consultation generally lasts between 3 and 5 hours, sometimes longer. The majority of problems can usually be fixed in one session, providing you can be consistent. 

Follow up visits                       £100 per hour

Should you feel a consultation is what you are looking for, simply send me an email detailing what the main problem is. Equally include details of when the problem first started (was there a particular event that happened) and at what age, your dogs daily routine, how consistent people are and how the dog interacts with each member of the family. Also please list any other issues even if you feel they are insignificant, for example does your dog follow all family members around the house or just one person, your dogs diet (what brand), many times these insignificant events are not as insignificant as first believed!

One Hour Visit.                          £150                                      (£100 per hour after if required) 

The above is for singular behavioural issues or training.

6 x 1 to 1 obedience sessions 1 hour long at your home

Sessions can be bespoke and can include -

walking nicely on the leash,

doorway manners,

basic obedience e.g. sit, wait, come, follow etc.      £500

12 x 1 to 1 obedience sessions 1 hour long at your home 

Bespoke sessions for puppies or adult dogs.          £900

This is aimed at owners who have just purchased a new puppy (often a very expensive purchase), or if you have rescued a dog from a centre, give its new beginning the best start. The benefits of starting training immediately whether you have chosen a puppy or a rescue dog are stark and much easier in their new environment. Starting training immediately can dramatically reduce the need for costly intervention later on.

Some everyday problems can be resolved by video call thereby reducing costs, e.g. doorway manners, manners around feeding. 
 

1 hour video call.                       £125

3 hour video call.                       £300 Post budget 10% discount off this price

Or maybe you have a question or two that needs an expert answer.                                      £75 per hour

If you are looking for a dog, for example at a rescue centre, and are unsure whether the dog is right for you, then I can come with you to assess the dog for you.         £100 per hour 

My book is now available, simply click on book cover and it will take you to Amazon purchase page. Included are chapters on the reasons why many common unwanted behaviours manifest and how to fix them. Also there are chapters on puppies, rescue dogs plus lots more! At less than £20 I believe it's a bargain!
