David takes one-to-one behaviour consultations which are specifically for owners with dogs that are experiencing behaviour problems. These help owners understand the root of the problem and how to eradicate the problem behaviour. Consultation can take place in the owner’s home or in Harlow, Essex where my stooge dogs can be used whichever is relevant to the issue.

The process of the consultation starts with creating a behaviour timeline of how the dog’s issues have emerged, the more information taken the better, this is done by having a friendly chat. The relevant information gathered contributes to helping give an accurate diagnosis of the problem. Next David will observe the dog’s reaction to the problem and owner’s response, following this we work through practical solutions to help resolve what is going on. This is followed by a full written report. During the session there is an emphasis on minimising stress on the dog.

Each case is approached individually, in a realistic manner and achievable targets are set. David does not work on a one method basis, but uses a mental tool box to get the correct technique for the dog he is working with.
