The Intricate Dog - Gold Coast Dog trainer
Behaviour Consultation

A behaviour consultation is a private one-on-one session with you/your family and your dog. It enable us to design an individual behaviour modification program tailored to you/your dog's needs by assessing the problem and addressing the issue.
A class or workshop environment can be inappropriate for dogs with specific behavioural issues which can include but are not limited to :-

• Lead Aggression
• Reactivity / Vocalisation
• Excessive Barking (bark buster)
• Fears and Phobias
• General Anxiety
• Separation Anxiety
• Food / Resource Aggression

• Dog Aggression
• Human Aggression
• Escaping
• Hyperactivity
• Handling Issues
• Sibling Rivalry / Aggression

​

What's Involved
You will be asked to complete a behavioural assessment form and return it before an appointment can be arranged.  
We may phone for further  information and if we feel that a referral to a Behavioural Vet is necessary, we will advise you at this stage so no fees are incurred.
The initial consultation lasts 1.5 hrs. The dog behaviourist discusses your concerns and your dog will be assessed.
This isn't dog obedience training, our plan is to work on changing how your dog thinks, feels and acts and you will be provided with all the necessary help and information to assist you with this. 
After the consultation, you will receive a written report outlining your dog's needs and a behaviour modification plan specifically designed for you and your dog, including management, training and enrichment strategies.
A follow up session will be scheduled depending on the needs of the dog.
You will more than likely need more that one or two sessions as we work within your dog's comfort level in order to achieve  positive results.
We will be in close contact with you throughout the program to see how you are progressing and to answer any questions you may have.
Cost $75 per hour (most cases require at least 3 sessions)
