We are fully qualified and experienced in handling aggression cases safely. We will implement strict management protocols to keep everyone safe while we work on changing your dog's underlying emotional response.

Behavior change is a process, not a quick fix. The timeline depends on the severity of the issue, frequency of the behaviour, how long the dog has been practicing the behavior, and your consistency with the training plan. We focus on long-term, sustainable results rather than temporary suppression.

Yes! We use positive reinforcement, which often involves high-value food rewards, toys, or praise to motivate your dog. This science-based approach builds a strong, trusting bond and makes learning enjoyable for your dog.

For sudden behavioral changes, we always recommend a vet check first to rule out pain or underlying medical conditions. While a formal referral isn't always strictly necessary, we often work collaboratively with your vet for the best outcome.

Initial consultations typically take place in your home, where your dog is most comfortable and where many behavioral issues occur. Subsequent sessions may take place at home, an agreed public location like Ashington Woods, QE2 Park, Hirst Park or at a secure field depending on what we are working on.

We exclusively use force-free, science-based training methods. We focus on positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior rather than using physical corrections or punishment.

Examples of our methods include clicker training to clearly mark good choices, capturing and rewarding desired actions, teaching incompatible alternative behaviors (like 'go to your mat' instead of jumping), and using desensitization and counter-conditioning for anxiety or reactivity. We set the environment up for success and never use shock collars, prong collars, or intimidation tactics.
