Services
Behaviour Assessment
Our comprehensive in-home assessments identify root causes of unwanted behaviours. We evaluate aggression, anxiety, and phobias while considering medical factors. Clients receive practical skills to manage and modify their dog's behaviour effectively through tailored plans.
Obedience Training
Personalised obedience sessions teach essential commands in your home environment. We focus on building consistency and clear communication between owner and dog. Training addresses destructive habits and establishes structured routines for long-term behavioural improvement.
Home Care Visits
Professional in-home care maintains your dog's routine during absences. Services include feeding, exercise, and toilet breaks with individual attention. We provide continuity of care while ensuring your pet's comfort and safety in familiar surroundings.
Dog Walking
Scheduled walks maintain your dog's physical and mental well-being. We offer flexible durations with safe collection and return. Regular exercise helps reduce anxiety and destructive behaviours through structured outdoor activity.
6 Week Courses
Structured group courses develop owner-dog relationships through progressive training. Sessions cover basic commands to advanced behaviour management. Participants learn consistent techniques to reinforce positive behaviours in various environments.
