Behaviour Assessment
Understand Your Dog. Build a Clear Plan for Change.
Every behaviour journey starts with understanding why your dog is behaving the way they are.
Whether you're dealing with aggression, reactivity, anxiety, fear or another behaviour challenge, your Behaviour Assessment provides the foundation for lasting, evidence-based behaviour change.
Through a comprehensive assessment, we'll explore your dog's behaviour, identify the underlying causes and create a personalised action plan designed specifically for you and your dog.

Is a Behaviour Assessment Right for You?
This page isn't for every dog.
It's designed for dogs who are struggling with behaviour challenges such as:
✔ Reactivity towards dogs or people
✔ Aggression
✔ Resource guarding
✔ Fear or anxiety
✔ Separation-related behaviours
✔ Handling or grooming concerns
✔ Multi-dog household conflict
✔ Sudden changes in behaviour
✔ Difficulties settling or coping with everyday life
If you're unsure where to start, a Behaviour Assessment is the best first step.
What Is a Behaviour Assessment?
A Behaviour Assessment is far more than a consultation.
It's an opportunity to understand the emotions, experiences and environmental factors influencing your dog's behaviour before deciding how best to help them.
Rather than simply addressing unwanted behaviours, we'll explore why those behaviours are happening so that any recommendations are tailored to your individual dog and family.
Every assessment is carried out using kind, force-free and evidence-based methods.
What Happens During Your Assessment?
🏡 Full behavioural history
🧠 Discussion about your concerns and goals
👀 Observation of your dog's behaviour
🚶 Assessment in the home and/or on a walk (where appropriate)
📖 Explanation of what may be driving the behaviour
🎯 Immediate practical advice
📋 Personalised behaviour plan
📧 Written recommendations after the session
Why Start with a Behaviour Assessment?
Behaviour is communication.
Every bark, growl, lunge or fearful response is your dog's way of telling us something.
My role isn't simply to stop unwanted behaviours.
It's to understand what's driving them and help both you and your dog move forward with confidence.
What Happens After the Assessment?
Following your assessment, I'll recommend the most appropriate next step.
Some owners feel confident continuing with the personalised plan provided during the assessment.
Others benefit from additional support through one of my structured programmes.
Aggression & Reactivity Programme
For dogs displaying aggressive or reactive behaviours.
Behaviour Improvement Programme
For dogs needing ongoing support with anxiety, separation-related behaviours, confidence building and other behaviour challenges.
Because every dog is different, recommendations are always tailored to your individual situation.

Testimonial
Your dog barks, lunges, or reacts on walks, making it difficult for you to enjoy outings. If your dog struggles around people, other dogs, or new environments, it may be time to seek a dog behaviour consultation. Perhaps your dog has growled, snapped, or shown aggressive behaviour, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. You deserve kind, ethical support that actually makes sense, such as force-free training or reactive dog support, to help you and your dog thrive.
