We can help you using sensible, ethical and effective strategies to prevent and modify the behaviour.

What is included?

  • Comprehensive history-taking (through our tailor-made online portal) in advance of the consultation
  • Consultation with/ referral from your Veterinary Surgeon for a joined up approach 
  • Detailed analysis of the history provided by you and/ or your vet to prepare for the consultation
  • Personal consultation (2 hours) at your home to include discussion about the causes and patterns of the behaviour and an explanation of the steps you will need to follow in order to change the behaviour 
  • Written summary of the issues and steps to be taken to tackle the problem (within 72 hours) - includes links to videos, websites and other useful resources relevant for you ​

Nigel has come on leaps and bounds since our behaviour session last month! We still have work to do, but the tension has certainly gone down a few notches. And our baby has arrived.... Nigel's been really good with him and hasn't turned a hair with the crying!

Gretta has helped me understand my dog and, with her advice, I feel more confident to tackle our dog's issues.  After just two weeks, we could see a marked improvement. Beforehand, I was ready to give up; now I am excited to get a calm and happy dog.

I actually had pretty low expectations as I wasn't sure that you would be able to help us with our problem but the Behaviour Consultation and report was really helpful and you are clearly very knowledgeable.  ​Thank you ever so much!

 I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you again.... we have had considerable improvement.  We now have complete trust in each other.  Amazing really that it was all just down to reading those early warning signs.  Just brilliant!  Thank you again.

I just wanted to update you on Lottie; the change in her is pretty significant!  We are now able to pass big dogs off-lead in complete confidence.... there are so many possibilities opening up.  It has been wonderful to work on this with you and see her confidence grow.  Thank you so much for your wisdom with her.

Thank you so much for your time and insight into Oliver's behaviour.  It all makes total sense.  We can already see a huge difference and we have so much more to cover. 
Thank you again;  he is a different dog already!

​Gretta was very personable and knowledgeable.  She immediately put us at ease and was great with our dog.  She spent a lot of time patiently explaining dog behaviours which all made perfect sense.  We have begun implementing some of the things she showed us and are now starting to see some success. I would thoroughly recommend her.

Thanks so much for coming out to see us and for all your advice and tips.
It was nice to get some feedback from someone who understands dogs and I'm glad you got the measure of him, as he's such a lovely dog.  
​I feel happier that we've made a start to figuring things out.

A fantastic insight into my rescue dog's behaviour. Gretta was extremely knowledgeable about the mindset of my anxious dog and gave me lots of hope that with the right actions and behaviours we can work with him positively. She also followed up with lots of support and resources - Benson and I can't thank you enough.

Thank you so much for your visit yesterday and all the information you sent through.  I felt so much better from our meeting and I now understand his needs better. I have put in place some of the things you suggested and I think both our stress levels have gone down already, so thank you again!

Gretta was absolutely fantastic and has helped me and my dog (Jasper) a lot!
​She took the time to really listen and understand some of the issues before devising a plan to start helping him. Thank you Gretta!

I really appreciated your visits to our home, your very helpful advice and the masses of information you have given us.  There is no doubt that the chaps are significantly calmer. Thank you!

Thank you so much..... I got an incredible amount out of our session.  I have tried some of the things you suggested and already I can see the confidence and enjoyment he is getting from it.  I’m so encouraged by the improvements he’s made in the past weeks and days. Thank you also for sending through such helpful links. ​

GOOD TO KNOW

All the information we need from you before the consultation can be gathered via our online portal
but if you don't have access to the internet, we are happy to do this over the phone instead 
Further information about A Different Dog's Behaviour Support can be found on our FAQ page.
If your insurance policy covers behaviour issues, you may be able to make a claim for working with us.  This is dependent on your individual policy and your insurance provider.  See our FAQs page for more details. 
For some locations, a travel charge may be applicable - click here to check the exact travel charge to your address

THINKING OF GOING ELSEWHERE?

When comparing costs and services, remember to carefully consider:
  • the levels of skill, expertise and academic qualification of the person with whom you will be working (remember - anyone can call themselves a 'behaviourist' but we only use post-graduate qualified specialists for this work)
  • what is actually included in the advertised cost (or, if it's per hour, how many hours will be required)
  • what you get BEFORE the consultation (why waste time - and money - going through your dog's history at the consultation when all the basic information can be gathered beforehand through our tailor-made online portal?)
  • what you get AT the consultation (where it will take place and for how long - it is important that we come to you in your home so we can see the dog in a normal context and help you to get the most out of the session)
  • what you get AFTER the consultation (written report/ action plan, follow-up visits, email support)
​​
We're confident that we excel in each of these aspects and that our behaviour package is first class; compare us with others and then, like our many happy clients, choose A Different Dog!

If we're not able to work with you or even if you'd just prefer to work with someone else, for any reason, we're more than happy to recommend other suitably qualified, experienced and accredited professionals - just ask!
