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.

Sometimes what you need is a hand to get on the right path – for someone to listen to you (AND your dog), to help you understand not just the why behind the situations you want to improve, but also how you can change things to make life better for both of you. And more than that, to give you some essential initial steps to reduce stress so you are in a good place to implement your plan!

Our expertise and careful assessment of your dog’s behaviour AND wellbeing quickly identifies the core issues which underpin the behaviours you are struggling with so you know what you need to do to get on with enjoying life with your dog.

It’s so much more than just a behaviour assessment.

• Straight away we help you put a simple management plan in place to make day to day life easier.
• Then we help you identify what is really important to make life happy and easy for you AND make sure your dog’s needs fit with this, which is essential if you want your goals to be achievable.
• We make a thorough assessment of your dog’s behaviour to get you to the critical ‘why’ behind your current problems so you understand what is happening and what needs to change.
• This includes a review of health and well-being, looking at the areas we know are commonly a major factor in behaviour difficulties, in particular pain and gastrointestinal health, and which are often missed in vet appointments because they are very hard to identify without exactly the right information.
• You can choose to include our full specialist behaviour-related health observations report and supported follow up with your vet.
• We set out an overview of next steps, the areas that it will help you to focus on to improve behaviour and well-being, based on the findings in the assessment.

Use our unique House of Harmony model to help you move forwards

Through this assessment, we help you really get to know your dog and why they are doing the behaviour you are finding hard, using our straightforward House of Harmony model. It’s the critical first step towards building the knowledge and skills you need to keep your dog happy and well. You’ll already find things are improving from the ‘big stress holiday’ management plan we give you at the start, and then, when the assessment is complete, you’ll have an outline for what you need to continue to do going forwards, with a range of options for continued support whenever you need it to help you put the changes in place.
