Note: To rule out behavioural challenges being linked to medical causes, behavioural consultations can only be initiated on a veterinary referral basis.

What you can expect from a Behavioural Consultation?

1. Firstly, we’ll give you a referral form. This should be signed by you and your vet.
2. We’ll then provide you with a full questionnaire.
3. You complete and return this questionnaire to us before our first consultation. We can then be fully prepared. 
4. The first consultation will be a home visit, lasting 1 1/2 to 2 hours. We'll review the history of your dog’s behaviour together and discuss in detail the challenges you are having. We'll share our initial conclusions and our recommendations for your treatment programme. This will be set to suit you and your pet.
5. The second consultation will last about an hour and takes place approximately 2 to 4 weeks later. During this consultation we’ll review progress together and introduce further practical exercises.
6. The final consultation will again last about an hour and again will take place approximately 2 to 4 weeks after the second. We’ll again review progress together and recommend any refinements or additional exercises as appropriate. 

We’ll send you written reports and notes summarising observations, recommendations and practical exercises after each consultation.

Alongside the primary behaviour problem, any minor behaviour or training issues can also be addressed during these sessions.
