Training is more like preventing behavioural problems, teaching your pet a new behaviour and how to communicate with you. Behaviour consultation, which aims to change undesirable behaviour to a more desirable behaviour, often focuses more on your pet's mental health.

It depends on what you would like for support. In general, training focuses more on teaching your pet a new behaviour or a new set of skills. For example, responding to their name, recall, loose lead walking, leave it, rolling over, etc. Whereas behaviour consultation focuses more on fixing undesirable behaviour. For example, aggression towards other dogs or people, obsessive-compulsive behaviour, house soiling, separation-related problems, etc.

Yes! We offer online behaviour consultation and training sessions. It is useful if you live far away from Nottingham or your cat or dog shows aggressive or fearful behaviour towards unfamiliar people.

​Choosing a clinical animal behaviourist who works closely with veterinarians ensures your pet receives comprehensive care during behaviour assessment and treatment. Research shows that many behavioural problems may be linked to underlying health or medical conditions. Collaborating with veterinarians allows for early detection or treatment of potential illnesses, preventing misdiagnosis and inappropriate behaviour modification. Moreover, this interdisciplinary approach helps create safer, more effective, and personalized behaviour modification plans, safeguarding your pet’s physical and mental well-being while increasing the chances of success.

Certification requires clinicians to possess adequate academic knowledge, practical skills, and adherence to the association's code of conduct. This commitment ensures that you receive a high standard of service throughout the consultation process and beyond.

We are happy to do 1-2-1 training without an initial consultation, but the training will be more general and might be less suitable for your cat/dog.
