What Will I, the Owner, Have to Do? |
Before the consultation, and depending on the problem, you should observe and write down various aspects relating to your dog's behavioural issue. These details will form part of our discussions at the consultation, and will go a long way to helping us identify the cause of, and the motivation behind, the unwanted behaviour.Video footage of the behaviour, especially separation related issues, can be a useful aid when analysing what is causing and rewarding a behaviour, especially as the behaviour will not always occur at the time of the consultation. |
| During the
consultation, and based on the information you give me, I will
recommend training exercises for you to undertake with your dog, on a
regular basis, in order to change your dog's
unwanted behaviour. These exercises will be tailored
specifically for you and your dog. It is important to note that your dedication, time and commitment is essential while modifying your dog's behaviour, and can significantly reflect a successful outcome. If requested, I will write up a short report detailing the recommendations discussed during the consultation. Remember that you can always contact me for reassurance, or for further help, if required. |
