We look at your pet's behaviour problems – their causes and solutions. We also look at various alternative therapies that may be considered in conjunction with behaviour modification.
We look at the human role in behaviour problems and how lifestyle can influence dog behaviour.
Play and exercise can influence behaviour. We look at how we can use play, mental stimulation and environmental enrichment to improve unwanted behaviour.
Clicker training is also covered. Please note, we only support force free training methods.
