Behaviour Correction Services
Trevor is an Accredited member (#S0050) of the CFBA (Canine & Feline Behaviour Association and is currently studying for a degree (BA (Hons)) in animal psychology and behaviour with Middlesex University (accredited) leading to a Doctorate in the same and as this work progresses, we will be able to offer a greater range of professional services. There is no quick-cure to any training, especially when dealing with behaviour problems as these tend to be ingrained and established by the time a behaviourist is called in and patience, persistance and commitment to the correction plan is required for a successful conclusion.
All our behaviour work is consultation based, from your own home in order to get a real indication of the behaviour problems, the depth of the problem and what may be causing the problem.These Consultations usually last from 2 to 3 hours and therefore sufficient time must be made in order to ensure a full and thorough assessment of your dog, it's problems and contributing factors. The Consultation is followed up with advice on immediate actions that may be required together with a full, written Behaviour Correction report (usually supplied within 7-days) plus lifetime telephone & Email support - we are here to help and most clients see an immediate improvement with significant improvements within the first 2-weeks however, unlike some trainers, we will never promise to "Cure" your dog instead assisting you to understand the problem and the causes whilst altering and where necessary managing the problem to a satisfactory level. Also, we use no harsh techniques in the behaviour modification, focusing on physical changes in the dogs environment whilst adjusting the dogs (and often owners) psychological outlook with techniques such as Operant Conditioning, Classical Conditioning and Latent Learning all of which enable a dog to learn naturally whilst wanting to learn and to continue to learn.
Currently, all common behaviour issues will be considered so please call to discuss your pets "challenges" although we may recommend a trip to your Vet first (particularly in cases of Aggression) in order to establish whether a physical problem or illness be the underlying cause of the behaviour problem. Once the Vet has examined your pet, we will be happy to proceed with our diagnosis of the displayed problems and the necessary correction plans - we also welcome referalls from all Vets:
