Which one does your dog need?
Training problems require your dog to learn a skill — like waiting at the door or not jumping on guests. Behavioural issues are more complex, caused by an emotional state — like a fearful dog barking at other dogs to keep them away. A Behaviour Consultation takes the tailored, individual approach these need.
Common problems this covers
Everyday behaviour problems
Jumping up, barking at home or visitors, destructive behaviour, poor manners indoors, general obedience (stay, settle, drop, leave), toilet training issues, car fear, meeting other dogs and people.
Walk and recall issues
Pulling on the lead, not coming back when called, reactivity to dogs or people, lack of focus outside, working around distractions.
Anxiety & more complex behaviour
Nervous or fearful dogs, overexcitement, confidence building, and general behaviour struggles.
Some severe problems — like dog‑to‑dog or dog‑to‑human aggression, severe resource guarding, or separation anxiety — need a specialist. If that sounds like your dog, Holley will recommend a qualified canine behaviourist.
What’s included
A 2‑hour appointment at your home (plus mileage depending on location — local area only), going through a series of detailed questions to get to know you and your dog. You’ll receive a written report with suggestions and resources within 5 days. Already had your consultation? Continue with a Follow Up session →
