Some dogs may show signs of anxiety when left alone, aggression
towards other dogs or people, destruction, housetraining issues or
fear of people, dogs or noises. Support for such issues is
available.
If
you are concerned about your pets behaviour then an behaviour
consultation can be arranged. The history of the problem and the
current factors influencing the behaviour will be investigated
during this consultation. This usually takes 2 hours. During this
time, I will also start to build a recommended behaviour
modification plan that will help manage the situation.
Support after
the initial consultation is essential. I will always provide
lifetime support via email and phone for the duration of the
behaviour problem. However for some behaviour problems further 1-1
sessions may be required.

Roxie's Case
Roxie is a Staffordshire bullterrier, very friendly to people and
loves to learn especially new tricks. However she became worried
about socialising with dogs. This suddenly developed after her
first season and gradually was getting worse. Her owner was
extremely concerned for her and was becoming quite upset since Roxie
was a fantastic dog in all other situations. Roxie was therefore
referred by her local veterinary Centre and work began immediately
on socialising her. This involved a carefully structured behaviour
modification programme and after much hard work Roxie has befriended
many dogs in her local area. Well done Roxie! |

Gunner's Case - A frightened dog
Some dogs can develop a fear of noises, dogs or even people. Gunner
Palmer was referred to Catherine by Quantock Veterinary Hospital,
Bridgwater. He was frightened of going outside, novel objects and
people. A behaviour modification programme was devised to suit the
needs of Gunner and his owners, and with lots of patience and
dedication Gunner's problems improved and he is now happy to go for
walks and pass people in the streets. |

The case of Louie Murphy
Louie was referred to Catherine by Quantock Veterinary Hospital as
he suddenly stopped using his litter
tray and started to over groom specific patches on his body. After
a thorough medical investigation it was identified that Louie was
experiencing pain from urinary crystals. After being treated at the
veterinary hospital Louie went home and a behaviour modification
plan was put in place immediately. Louie's
fur has started to grow back and his toileting habits have gone back
to normal. Louie has a fantastic life and enjoys going on daily
hunts in his local fields. He is once again a very happy cat! |
