Package 1

Shorter Consultation

This is primarily for cases where immediate help and advice is required. It involves a video consultation where I give my professional opinion and provide advice based on the information you provide in the questionnaire, anything I see (via video call or/and analysis of recordings) and from the history you and your vet provide.

Analysis of any recordings sent prior to the session.
Liaising with your vet.
Preparation of a behaviour action plan.
Suitable training guides/handouts.
Follow-up sessions can be booked as and when you need me thereafter at a rate of £50 per hour.

Package 2, 3 & 4

Full Consultation

I will take a full history so that I can clarify what the motivation behind the behaviour is and I will also be able to make observations in real-time, as well as through any additional video footage you can send along (if safe to do so).

I will provide immediate advice and afterwards I will send you some guides and relevant handouts. I will also prepare a comprehensive report with an action plan containing the treatment strategies. Where necessary, I can also send you video demonstrations of any training techniques that I think might help.

Included in the fees is ongoing support, a 45 minute video follow-up session and advice via email correspondence for 6 weeks after the consultation (based on a maximum of 6 emails).

For complex behaviours, other combinations are available and it may be necessary to arrange further follow-up consultations. For dogs, training sessions with me and/or support from one of my associate trainers can be arranged. Prices vary depending on time and location but details can be given on request.

Please be aware that changing a well-established behaviour takes time and commitment. I will provide you with my professional help and advice but the success of the programme is dependent on you following my recommendations and, to a certain extent, upon how deep rooted the behaviour problem is.

Veterinary Referral

I am bound by the APBC to get written permission from your veterinary surgeon before the consultation. This is a simple procedure. I will send you a referral form for them to complete. It’s easier if they scan it in to an email as this saves time or they can just send me an email giving me their permission.

In all cases I provide your veterinary surgeon with an overview of my findings.

Insurance Companies

Most good pet insurance policies will cover behaviour, so it is worth enquiring with your insurer beforehand, but please note that I cannot make a direct claim on your behalf. My qualifications are recognised by all the leading pet insurers and I am a member of the ABTC & APBC.

What do I need to do?

If you’d like to go ahead or you have any questions please contact me.
