Behaviour Consultation & 
1 to 1 Training

Suitable for dogs aged 6 months and above. 

​

One to one appointments in your home or outdoors area with a highly experienced dog trainer. Training will start with an initial consultation to discuss and observe you and your dog's current situation and needs. ​

​

Does my dog need training OR

Does my dog have a behaviour problem?
 

Training problems require the dog to learn a skill – such as waiting at the door or not jumping on guests. Whereas behavioural issues are more complex, and are caused by an emotional state – such as a fearful dog barking at other dogs to keep them away.

 

1-2-1 training is necessary for problems that may have an emotional component, as by their nature they require a tailored, individual approach however should you be experiencing complex behaviour problems such as severe separation anxiety or aggression you will be more suited to speak to a qualified canine behaviourist (whom I can recommend.)

Designed to get to know you and your dog and discuss any problems you are encountering by going through a series of detailed questions. The consultation will help to determine the best course of action for you and your dog and following on from the appointment a write-up with a series of suggestions and resources will be given to help you begin your dog training journey.

​

Please note: Some severe dog problems (i.e. dog to human aggression, dog to dog aggression, severe resource guarding, separation anxiety) are not dealt with by Ruff. Depending on your behaviour issue you may be asked to contact a local dog behaviourist who is highly recommended.​
