Dog Behaviour Consultations
A consultation is the best place to start if your dog is struggling with a behavioural problem. Our initial consultation package includes an in person behavioural consultation with a qualified behaviourist in which we will assess your dog and work with you to develop and implement a plan suited to them.
What can a dog behaviourist help with?
Dog Behaviour Consulting at Animal Behaviour Kent
