Behaviour advice
When a behaviour problem goes beyond “just Google it”.
Behaviour therapy is advised for dogs displaying behaviour problems. Dogs who would not thrive in group training, and/or whose problems (e.g. aggression, fear, excitement or problems being home alone) require one-on-one attention. If you are hesitating, check this diagram to help you make the choice between group training and one-on-one behaviour advice.
You can find out more about behaviour therapy here. A 2-hour behaviour advice and evaluation session costs EUR210. Depending on your pet insurance, you might get this partially reimbursed as we are fully certified and recognized by professional organisations.
