Not on the list?
Let’s talk about it.

Jumping up & overexcited greetings

Visitors arrive and your dog is suddenly all paws? Tell us what greetings look like at home and when you meet people outside. We can discuss manners and the everyday situations you would like to improve.

Chewing & destructive behaviour

Shoes, cushions or furniture becoming the target? Let us know what gets damaged, when it happens and whether your dog is alone at the time. Those details help us understand the pattern. If it happens when you leave, also see our anxiety and being-left-alone page.

Digging & garden trouble

Holes in the lawn, flowerbeds being rearranged or constant fence-line activity can be frustrating. Tell us where your dog digs, when it happens and what their usual day looks like so we can discuss the concern properly.

Stealing food, begging & counter surfing

Does dinner come with a watchful nose, or does food disappear from the kitchen counter? We can help you set training goals for mealtimes, kitchen manners and everyday household boundaries.

Struggling to settle

Always on the go, following every movement or unable to relax while you sit down? Describe the moments when your dog finds it hardest to switch off. Settling calmly can be one of the practical goals we work towards together.

Toilet-training setbacks & marking

Accidents indoors are not only a puppy concern. Tell us your dog’s age, routines and whether the pattern is new or longstanding. We’ll discuss whether training support is appropriate or whether another professional should be involved first.

Chasing, door rushing & escaping

Rushing through an open door, chasing moving things or trying to get out of the garden needs a clear conversation about what happens and where. Share any incidents before your appointment so we can plan a suitable starting point.

Difficulty with handling & grooming

Brushing, putting on a harness or touching paws may be difficult for some dogs. Tell us what your dog finds uncomfortable and how they respond. If there is growling, snapping or biting, mention it before booking and see our aggression and guarding page.

Something else entirely?

You do not need a label for the behaviour to ask for help. It may be a change in routine, life with a newly adopted dog, or several small things adding up. Tell us what happens, when it happens and what you have already tried. We’ll be honest about whether our training is a suitable next step.

Your next step

Before booking, describe the behaviour, how long it has been happening and any recent changes. Mention any bites or incidents involving people or other animals. We’ll discuss your goals and a suitable assessment.
