Get Support With Your Dog's Behaviour
OUR COMPREHENSIVE DOG BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT PROGRAMMES...
Is walking your dog becoming a daily struggle? Are you constantly worried about reactivity, anxiety, or aggression? We know how stressful it can be managing a dog with behaviour problems, and that's why, we are here to help.
At Animal Behaviour Kent, we specialise in helping dogs with complex behaviour challenges, not just basic training. Our programmes designed to help owners struggling with issues like:
✔ Aggression – Towards people, other dogs, or cats.
✔ Reactivity – Barking, lunging, growling on walks.
✔ Separation anxiety – Distress when left alone.
✔ Phobias – Avoiding new situations, people, or noise concerns
✔ Obsessive behaviours – Tail chasing, compulsive licking, repetitive movements.
We provide a structured, science-based approach designed to:
✔ Identify the root causes of behaviour, not just surface-level symptoms.
✔ Create an immediate management plan to make life easier right away.
✔ Implement long-term behaviour change with expert guidance and ongoing support to get your dog's behaviour back on track.
Our expert behaviour team, led by Daniel Shaw MSc, CDBC and Boo Blackhurst CDBC, has helped hundreds of dogs and their families navigate a wide range of behaviour concerns, from anxiety and fearfulness to reactivity, aggression, and more. We use modern, science-based methods to uncover the underlying causes of your dog’s behaviour, working alongside you to create meaningful and lasting change.
