Dog reactive dogs:

Crazy to calm

Does your dog bark, lunge or growl at other dogs making your walks a nightmare?
It’s frustrating, distressing, even embarrassing when your dog behaves like that every time they see a dog.
I see many, many dogs who aren’t comfortable around other dogs, they are frightened and just want the dog to go away.
Some dogs can bark out of sheer frustration on lead because they want to go say hello.

Whatever the reason my crazy to calm programme has been specifically designed for dogs who are reactive to other dogs and it will help them become calmer, more confident and more relaxed.

Turn your fearful or frustrated dog into a friendly and unflappable pooch.

Guarding

Menacing to mellow

Living with a Jekyll and Hyde dog is hard, a usually loving and wonderful family dog turns into an aggressive, fierce Tasmanian devil around whatever it is they feel the need to protect.

Dogs guard all kinds of things for all kinds of reasons. The most common are guarding food items or those precious prizes they have stolen and taken under a table where they will growl at you if you approach, but they can also guard  toys, people or places.

My programme will help you Banish Mr Hyde for good.

Separation Anxiety

Terrified to tranquil

Do you feel awful leaving your dog alone because you know it distresses him?

Some of the signs your dog may be distressed at being alone:
barking, whining or howling
Chewing, scratching, destroying things
Urinating/defacating
Pacing
Preventing owner leaving the house
Self mutilation (excessive licking, chewing)

Dogs can develop this for all kinds of reasons, some dogs (and some breeds) are more prone to it than others.  This isn’t anxiety, it is sheer panic and is so distressing for dogs and owners too and I have a programme that will help your dog be much happier to be left alone.

Fear, anxiety and phobias

Dogs can become scared of all kinds of things for all manner of reasons; they bark, whine, hide behind your legs or even bite when pushed.

You may not know why your dog is afraid or what initially triggered it – what matters is how you deal with it.

Confidence building through appropriate training will help your dog overcome their fears and become the happy, confident dog

Barking or Destructive dog?

Is your dog is destroying your house or barking constantly and driving you nuts?

Some dogs become very barky, barking at every noise outside, everyone who walks past the window or barking at their owner constantly. Barking is a normal behaviour but excessive barking becomes a nuisance. It drives owners crackers and causes stress and spoils your relationship with your dog.

A consultation will allow me to assess WHY your dog is barking at everything or ripping up your stuff I can give you a programme to help prevent it happening in the future.

Fear of strangers:

Snappy to sociable

Does your dog snap, growl or lunge when people approach or try and stroke your dog and you feel like you are constantly apologising for his behaviour?

Some people think they can touch or stroke your dog without asking first – and then they give you a hard time when your dog reacts badly to it.

Some dogs  aren’t comfortable around people they don’t know, whether that is because of lack of socialisation as a puppy, previous bad experience or genetics.

At home your dog may be fear aggressive towards unknown people and all your friends have stopped coming round.

My snappy to sociable programme will help your dog become more confident and relaxed around people.
