Behaviour Consultation Process


 

Step Description Timeline
1. Initial Contact & Questions Contact me to discuss your dog’s behavioural issues. Please pop me an email and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I’ll answer any preliminary questions you have and guide you through the next steps. Ongoing
2. Veterinary Referral Before we start behavioural training, I require a vet referral. This ensures that your dog is healthy, as medical issues can impact behaviour. I’ll provide the form for your vet to fill out. 1-2 Days to Obtain
3. Initial Behaviour Consultation We meet for a detailed, in-home consultation. I’ll review your dog’s history, behaviour, and environment. This is where we’ll gather all relevant information. Up to 2 hours
4. Behaviour Assessment I assess the situation and offer you immediate advice or management strategies. We will also discuss the behavioural goals you want to achieve. During Consultation
5. Behaviour Report & Plan After our consultation, I’ll send you a written report and tailored behaviour modification plan. This plan will be shared with your vet to ensure everyone is on the same page. Within 2-3 Days
6. Follow-up Sessions We meet again (in-person or via Zoom) to review progress, troubleshoot issues, and put the behaviour plan into practice. Within 8 weeks of initial visit
7. Ongoing Support You can access ongoing support via email or WhatsApp for up to 8 weeks after the consultation. This helps with any questions and ongoing adjustments. 8 Weeks of Support
