If your dog exhibits problem behaviour such as:

Tail chasing, spinning, aggression, aggression towards humans or dogs, hyperactivity, Major destruction, Digging, Barking excessivley, Extreme Dominance, Urinating inside your house, Seperation Anxiety (screaming/howling/ destruction upon your leaving), Compulsive Behaviours, Eating strange items like poop or other non-food items, Chasing cars/joggers/ cats/ rabbits/ motorbikes etc, Extreme fear or phobia of noises, escaping the yard etc,

Are you being growled or even bitten by your dog? Is your dog growling at your children or perhaps already biting them? Are you afraid of your dog? Is your dog wanting to bite your visitors or perhaps fighting with your other dogs? Need help introducing a new puppy into the home? Need help because there is a baby on the way?

Please contact us as the above is not the normal behaviour of the dog. We will then set up the 3-part Behaviural Consultations in order to address the problems being experienced. Our fee is very competitive. I am a fully qualified Canine Behaviour Advisor (Dog Behaviourist) with many years of experience and good results. I am a registered member of the South African Board of Companion Animal Professionals.

The Process:  

Part 1 - I will come to your place of residence to assess the dog and the problems being experienced trying to gather as much information as possible.  Solutions cannot be given at this time yet as the problem behaviour and assessment information needs to first be processed.

Part 2 - It is time for solutions and problems solving now that the details from Part 1 have been processed.  This is now the time where the dog owner comes to my office and solutions are given in regard to the assessment made in Part 1, all structured according to the specific problem and situation. 

Part 3 - After having given the owner a specific period of time to implement the problem solving and solutions it is now time for a practical relationship building consult.  The owner therefore brings along the problem dog to my office where relationship building exercises will be taught.

Please note that most of the above problems cannot be solved telephonically and will require the in-depth 3-part Behavioural Consultation.

Minor issues as listed below can be attended to via the phone.... please scroll down to find out more about telephonic consultation.

TELEPHONIC CONSULTATIONS etc…
