Dog Behaviour

Pets can develop a range of behaviour problems. These behaviours are often a sign that your pet is unhappy, anxious, stressed, fearful and just no coping. 

The range of behaviours displayed can be:

Aggression

Destructiveness

Toileting issues

Self-harming

Barking/Howling

Nervousness

The first thing to do if your dog develops a behaviour issue that worries you is to organise a check up with your Vet. It's important to check that your dog is not unwell or in pain.

If your vet can't find anything physically wrong, they can refer you to an animal behaviour expert.

Please ensure when you are searching for a trainer and behaviourist that they a member of a recognised Association that puts you dog's welfare at the forefront of their training.

Training which includes physical punishment may cause pain, suffering and distress. These techniques can compromise dog welfare, lead to aggressive responses and worsen the problems they aim to address. (DEFRA Code of practice for the welfare of dogs.)
