A
consultation can be arranged for dogs who are having a specific
behavioural problem in the home environment. Behaviours such
as resource guarding, barking, destructive behaviour, sibling
rivalry problems (depending on severity) , excessive pulling
on walks, barking at other dogs on walks, or teaching your
dog to be calm indoors are examples of behaviours that would
suit a behavioural consultation
These consultations
are usually 1 - 1 ½ hours in duration, depending
on the problems presented. The consultation includes taking
a thorough
history of the dog and its behaviour, discussing why
the behaviours may be occurring and giving advice on how
the
behaviours may be managed. General behavioural problem
notes are given at the time of the consultation if appropriate,
and then a behaviour modification program is designed
and sent to the owner
within a
few days
of the consultations. A follow up session of 30 - 45 minutes
will be organised for 2 weeks after the initial visit to
see how the strategies are being put into place and to
help
with
any further issues.
Individual behavioural
consultations can be arranged by appointment and are available
for clients living in and around Cooma, Berridale, Jindabyne
and Nimmitabel. For costs and queries of areas serviced
please

Any aggression problems will be referred on to a Veterinary
Behavioural Consultant. If you are having any aggression
problems with your dog, please feel free to call and I
will put you in touch with the closest Veterinary Behavioural
Consultant
