What is a Behavioural Problem?
If your pet is grappling with behavioural challenges, you may need specialised assistance beyond standard dog training. A Behavioural Modification Program delivered by a Behavioural Specialist delves deeper than teaching basic skills.
An anxious dog may have difficulty walking on a loose leash, a fearful dog may be reactive. These issues can evoke a range of emotions for the guardian, including stress, fear, frustration, embarrassment, shame, hurt, confusion and sadness.
A problem behaviour refers to behaviours that are normal and natural for the dog, such as jumping, digging, or barking, but can be annoying for people, hence this can be considered problematic. A certified dog trainer can assist with this.
Most trainers handle basic skills like lead training, re-calls, sit, stay, they can assist with some problem behaviours, whilst a Behavioural Specialist deals with more serious issues like fear, compulsions, anxiety and aggression and some may require a referral to a Vet Behaviourist.
Our pets are part of our lives for a relatively short period of time, let’s make sure that this time is filled with love and lots of happy memories.

It’s important to know…
The pet training industry lacks regulation, allowing virtually anyone to offer pet training services regardless of their education, experience or credentials.
Behaviour Specialists have certifications and have achieved extensive training in their specialised areas.
I have 24 years of working professionally with dogs and their guardians. I continually upskill my education, knowledge and certifications in behaviour.
I am particularly passionate about my focus as a Separation Anxiety Behaviour Specialist.
