Behaviour Consultations
Expert clinical assessments for complex behavioural issues including separation-related problems, aggression/reactivity, fear/anxiety, inappropriate elimination, compulsive disorders, hyperactivity, noise phobias/sound sensitivities — anything and everything.
​
As behavioural issues can sometimes be due to underlying medical conditions, a veterinary referral is essential to booking a consultation. If you do not already have a referral, please reach out to me.Â
​
Duration: 1.5-2 hours via Zoom
You will be asked to complete a pre-consultation questionnaire which will need to be completed and returned at least 24 hours before your appointment. The behaviour consultation is approximately 1 hour of gathering more information on your dog's behaviour and 1 hour of practical guidance (which can be face-to-face - please see location for more information).
