A structured, assessed plan for barking, anxiety, reactivity, resource guarding or aggression — the dogs that have everyone stumped.
What this programme covers
- A full behaviour assessment before any plan is set
- Separation-related barking and home-alone distress
- Lead reactivity and over-arousal towards dogs or people
- Resource guarding of food, toys, spaces or people
- A clear safety and management plan you can actually follow
How it works
Barking, anxiety, reactivity and aggression are not “bad dog” problems — they are usually fear, frustration or unmet needs showing up as behaviour. Behaviour Modification always starts with a proper assessment: we want to understand what is driving it, what triggers it, and what the dog is trying to achieve, before we change anything.
From there we build a tailored, humane plan. That means managing the environment so the behaviour cannot keep rehearsing, teaching the dog a different way to cope, and changing how it feels about its triggers — not just suppressing the symptom. For anything involving real aggression or a bite history, we work carefully and may coordinate with your vet, because welfare and safety come first.
This work takes time and consistency; six sessions is a starting point, not a guarantee, and we are honest about that from the first conversation. What you get is a trainer who explains every step, a written plan you can follow between visits, and steady progress measured against your own dog — not someone else’s.
Who it’s for
Dogs with separation anxiety, excessive barking, lead reactivity, guarding or aggression.
