Helping you reduce stress, put some essential management in place and get to the bottom of what’s going on so you can see how to move forwards.
Hello!
We hope you found your chat with us really useful, and are feeling positive about a way forwards. We would love to help and support you, and as you’ll know from the call, we think that our Pawtastic start programme will work really well for you.
We know there is a lot to take in on an initial phone call so here is a recap:
-
On the email you received to give you this link, you’ll find anything which is particular to you and your dog that we may have discussed. This could include some holding advice or information about start dates and so on.
-
On this page you’ll find details for how to get started with us and a recap of the programme structure (the practical ‘what happens’). Please note this page is only for clients we have spoken with and are super happy to invite into the programme, so please don’t share it!
If you have any questions at all, or want to chat further about this programme or the others we offer, please just give us a shout.
Look forward to getting started with you soon.

What you get when you make a Pawtastic Start with us…
60 minute welcome video call to reduce stress and plan your first steps:
- Put in place targeted management strategies to make life easier straight away for both of you
- Guide you through the assessment process and work out together the right amount of time to collate information about your dog’s behaviour (usually between 2 to 4 weeks)
A thorough assessment, tailored to you and your dog, led by one of our expert behaviourists
- 2-4 weeks of gathering information – we guide you through telling us about your dog’s history and and keeping a diary, including some photos and videos of day to day life with your dog, just the normal things you do.
- Get in touch with your vet – just to make sure we’ve got everything we need on the referral and medical history paperwork.
If you have opted for our in-depth health observations report, we’ll help you collect additional health and well-being information, including some specific videos and diary to identify potential signs of pain and other behaviour-indicated health issues.
90 minute video call to go through the assessment AND explain the plan to help you move forwards
- A clear explanation of the ‘why’ behind your dog’s behaviours – helping you really understand what needs to change to help you achieve the life you want to enjoy together
- A plan with immediate next steps – and an outline of what may need to follow. Plans aren’t static, they have to adjust depending on changes in behaviour at each stage, but we help you understand what this may look like and the options that are available to you.
And we follow up with:
- Your personalised Path to Harmony report – summarising everything we have discussed in an easy-to-digest format
- An email to your vet: either with a brief summary of any points we feel may warrant follow-up from a health perspective OR our full specialist behaviour-related health observations report and a phone-call to discuss a plan (depending on which programme option you have selected).
