BEHAVIOUR CONSULTATIONS

New Green Membership stamp.png

Personally, I hate the saying "there are no bad dogs, only bad owners" – canine psychology is a complex thing, and struggling with challenging behaviour in your dog can be horribly stressful and frustrating for any good dog parent.

However, as a qualified and accredited Level 5 behaviourist, I specialise in 121 behaviour consultations in the home environment(s)* that can help you get to the root of – and therefore better address – unwanted behaviour in your dog, and offer ongoing support to help you reduce it over time, and at their own pace.

BEHAVIOUR PROGRAMME

£270

The Behaviour Consultation Programme is designed to go more in-depth than mere 'training' does, where behaviours are a little more challenging.

 

Such behaviours may include (but are not limited to):​

  • Dog-to-dog aggression

  • Dog-to-human aggression

  • Other reactivity (e.g. towards traffic, pushchair etc.)

  • Resource Guarding

  • Separation Anxiety

  •  Abnormal repetitive behaviours (ARBs)

The Behaviour Programme includes:

  • An in-depth behaviour/training assessment

  • An initial consultation via phone or Zoom

  • An initial in-person or Zoom* consultation to assess your dog, begin to implement a training / behaviour modification plan, and demonstrate any practical training where appropriate – please allow up to 2 hours for this session.

  • Liason with vets and/or other canine medical professionals (where appropriate)

  • A follow-up behavioural report tailored to your dog, summarising the session and detailing all recommendations 

  • Information sheets and supporting documents/resources, where appropriate

  • Easy-to-read, step-by-step guides detailing how to train any recommended exercises, for you to keep

  • 1x 1-hour follow-on session*, in which to discuss progress, implement any required changes or work on further supporting training

  • Unlimited Zoom progress catch-up sessions, and anytime email/phone/Whatsapp support for the duration of your plan

  • Up to 20% discount off any required follow-on training sessions (at £80/hr rate)

​​​

*Please note, where safety is a concern (e.g. in cases of severe dog-human aggression), Zoom consults may be recommended in lieu of in-person sessions until such a time that effective safety measures can be implemented to enable me to safely work with your dog.

ONWARD REFERRALS

Onward Referrals

If, for whatever reason, your dog's behaviour is deemed to warrant further help from alternative sources, quality (and, wherever possible, IMDT-accredited) referral contacts will be provided. Should you choose to accept this referral, we do ask that (where agreed between parties) we (i.e. Jen and possible assistant trainer) attend any sessions you have with a referred trainer or behaviourist in an advisory and assisting capacity.

 

Immediate referrals (i.e. where an assessment has been carried out and reviewed but a face-to-face consult has not yet taken place) are of course completely free of charge. 

​

Referrals by Vets

On occasion, some behaviour issues may warrant referral directly from your vet (at their discretion), and/or the sharing of your dog's medical records – in these cases you will be asked to complete a veterinarian referral agreement to consent to this. Any and all correspondence made between myself (Jen Murray) as J Murray Dog Training will be shared with you via email.
