Behavioural problems in dogs can result for a number of reasons, including issues that are related to genetics, lack of socialisation during puppyhood, bad experiences or a mixture of these. Pinpointing the exact issue and cause/s behind it requires an in-depth consult with a behaviour specialist. Canine behavioural problems are much more common than people think. Some of the issues we regularly see are:

• Boredom & separation related behaviours
• Socialisation issues - can be related to other dogs, people, objects, sounds - anything the dog is not familiar with
• Aggression
• Destructive behaviour
• Inappropriate elimination (toilet problems!)
• Excessive barking or crying
• Jumping
• Mouthing or nipping

The are many potential underlying causes of these problems, so the first step to resolving the issue is a consult to establish a full history so that we can make an educated judgement. If we are presented with very complex behavioural problems, we may refer you to a specialist in that particular area.

We will then talk to you about what you want to achieve and put together a program that suits your needs and lifestyle, but more importantly leaves you with a happier, more relaxed dog.
