Success – long-term happiness and wellbeing – comes from really getting to the roots of behaviour, the ‘why’ behind what you see your dog do, and this is the focus of how we work with you. Each programme is a really thorough, holistic look at all aspects of wellbeing and behaviour so we can make an individual plan, tailored specifically to you, that will give you lasting improvement and which carefully supports you day by day to help you feel really confident about the way ahead.

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 Very Best Paw Forwards programme will best meet your needs. 

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 hopefully getting started with you soon!

What you get when you put your Very Best Paw Forwards…

A unique, highly successful programme tailored precisely to your needs, led by one of our expert behaviourists (with the rest of the Canine Thinking team behind you for additional support and cheerleading!). 

Two carefully planned phases to ensure you focus on the right things at the right time in the right order! We are experts in what we do and we make sure things are done properly – it hugely accelerates success – you want the best for you and your dog and so do we.

• Put in place targeted management strategies to make life easier straight away for both of you (a prescription for a big stress holiday!). This is usually a 1 hour video call.
• Gather a comprehensive history – including photos and videos of day to day life with your dog, just the normal things you do.
• Collect essential health and well-being information – some specific videos we’ll help you take of your dog, and a short diary, to identify potential signs of pain and other behaviour-indicated health issues.
• Get in touch with your vet – just to make sure we’ve got everything we need on the referral and medical history paperwork.
• Carry out a comprehensive, holistic assessment of your dog’s behaviour and well-being – we help you understand life through your dog’s lens – the ‘why’ behind the behaviours.

• A bespoke plan to guide you to your own House of Harmony – we continually reassess and adjust this as we see how your dog responds. 
• 5 hours of dedicated session time with your behaviourist – we do this in the best way for your dog and for you, it might be in person, it might be online, short sessions or longer ones – we’ll discuss and agree this with you at the start. It’s always individual.
  
• Unlimited support in your personal WhatsApp group – and THIS IS TRANSFORMATIONAL! After all, training sessions are just a tiny part of your dog’s learning – day to day life is where the magic happens and where support is most valuable.
• Specialist behaviour-related health observations report and supported follow up with your vet at every step. Health issues are notoriously difficult to detect in relation to behaviour, yet they are critical to your dog’s happiness and wellbeing and to resolving the things you find hard. We specialise in this and get outstanding results.
