Dog Behaviour
Every behaviour has a reason behind it, and the key is to find the reason and work in the right direction.
I have been providing pet owners with both home and in-clinic behaviour advice for almost 20 years.
Acupuncture can also be very helpful in some behavioural patients.
As a veterinary surgeon, I am also able to advise on any medical issues which may be causing or contributing to your pet's behaviour, and provide medications where indicated or needed.

My behaviour consulation fee is £299
I spend 2-2.5 hours with you and your dog, which allows me to carry out a full health check, and observations of your pet in the environments or situations that challenge them.
I then send you a full report and treatment plan, and include 2 follow up phone consultations with you.
