What are Behaviour consultations ?

Bobby Allchorn

Behaviour Consultations are sessions that are geared toward solving more complex behavioural concerns that cannot be addressed in group training. During the initial consultation, that could last 90 minutes to two hours, we will explore every aspect of your dog’s life to determine the source of the unwanted behaviour, as we believe in addressing the underlying cause and not the symptoms.

Based on the assessment, we will prepare a training programme specific to the needs of you and your dog, and teach you how to help your dog overcome the areas of difficulty.

All behaviour modification techniques and protocols are based on positive reinforcement and are validated by sound scientific research.

You will also receive a written report after every session that you can refer back to while you train at home. Changing behaviour often takes time and follow up sessions, that are usually only an hour in duration, might be required. It is advisable that follow up sessions are done at least a week or 10 days apart to ensure continuity. We personally understand that changing behaviour requires patience, effort and an understanding support system – we will be here to provide ongoing support and work closely with you and your dog to ensure progress.

All consultations are done at Canine Concepts’ indoor centre in Gordons Bay.
