Behavioural First Aid is a supportive service aimed at helping dogs with challenging or puzzling behaviour, without the need for a full behavioural consultation.
Personalized support for you and your dog.
Is your adorable pup suddenly acting like a rebellious teenager?
Does it feel like you're caught in a canine drama?
Has your dog started pulling on the leash, barking, jumping up, or lunging unexpectedly?
Are you unsure about what went wrong?
These situations can be stressful for everyone involved, but you don’t have to face them alone. There’s a better way! You can get guidance from an accredited professional with over 28 years of experience, qualified in science-based methods, who truly understands what you’re going through.
This service is designed for dog owners feeling overwhelmed or uncertain, offering expert help to manage your dog’s behaviour in daily life.
I can help!
Hands-on advice about managing risks, safety protocols and practical training techniques for common issues
Professional guidance on preventing situations from progressing further
Rebuild your dogs confidence and enable you both to lead a calmer life
The sheer volume of dog training and behaviour advice can be overwhelming and inconsistent, often leading to frustration and worsening issues. Seeking help from a qualified behaviourist and trainer professionally qualified with science-based knowledge allows you to relax and focus on your dog with confidence.
Behavioural first aid is designed for dogs without a bite history, offering practical, supportive guidance to manage daily challenges, reduce risks, and build confidence. Many dogs, especially those with reactivity, can benefit from tailored techniques and new approaches to training.
Positive reinforcement training is not about quick fixes or gimmicks. It avoids aversive methods and gadgets, which research shows can worsen problems. Instead, it focuses on building trust and addressing underlying issues. In some cases, deeper problems linked to anxiety or trauma may require a broader clinical approach and rehabilitation.
I work exclusively one-on-one with clients to ensure personalized care and attention. We use detailed questionnaires and thorough consultations to get a comprehensive look at your and your dog’s situation.
I look at the whole picture to get a holistic overview of you and your dogs unique situation. This multi-faceted approach aims to improve your dog’s whole quality of life.
Flexible options include online sessions with email or phone check-ins to fit in around your lifestyle and commitments. My goal is to help you and your dog achieve long-term success.
