Behaviour Problems

What is a behaviour problem and what is a training issue is a question that often comes up. The easy answer is any behaviour that the dog does which is a problem is a behaviour issue. This may stem from a lack of formal training as the dog doesn't know how it's expected to behave, even if the owner thinks it does. Olwen Turns, our head trainer,conducted a study as part of her Think Dog qualification. She found that 60% of dogs who had never been to training classes had a problem behaviour.

Problems ranged from pulling on the lead to aggression. All problems can be solved using our kind, fair, effective ethos and possibly some management strategies in place.

If you and your dog are having problems that are making life hard please ask about a behaviour consultation.

Consultations consist of a questionnaire to get a full picture of the problem. Then, you are shown techniques and given help on how to manage. Consultations usually take place at the Cloverleaf Canine Centre and you can book as many sessions as you think you and your dog need. For some problems a vet referral may be necessary.

All behaviour consultations are carried out by Olwen Turns.
