Behaviour Modification

Behaviour Modification 

What is behaviour modification?

Behaviour modification focusses on the relationship, emotions and communication between humans and dogs. It includes the holistic considerations around the motivation behind the behaviour, diet, physical and emotional health, genetics, relationship between human and dog, their environment and the style of communication used to give feedback, guidance and direction by way of both operant and classical conditioning. Together, they form the foundations of the way your dog reacts to its environment and the stimuli within that environment.

Problems at home

I fully appreciate that when it comes to the behaviour of a dog and its interaction with the human family members, every situation is different.
 
Your dogs are expected to fit into an ever changing world that they simply do not understand. Despite being the most adaptable animals on the planet, they sometimes have difficulty figuring out exactly what you want of them.

This misunderstanding and the stress and anxiety this regularly causes, is more often than not one of the contributing factors to the unwanted behaviours. It is during this time, we can encourage the wrong behaviours if we are not careful.  The are also other contributing factors to behavioural problems such as pain, poor genetics, poor socialisation to name but a few.

With this in mind, we aim to offer an individual and personalised service tailored to you and your dog. All behaviour consultations take place in your home. These sessions last from two hours onwards. During the visit I will observe your regular routine and the way in which you interact with your pet. This helps me identify the main cause(s) of the unwanted behaviour and develop a workable rehabilitation programme for you to follow. I will give you an insight into canine behaviour and help you understand your dog’s behaviour and why they do the things they do and just as importantly, why what you are doing doesn't work..

Working with you and your dog, I will teach you how to communicate clearly and consistently with your pet using humane, scientifically and practically proven training methods. This will help minimise unnecessary confusion and frustration and assist you in building a loving and respectful relationship with your best friend.
