Early signs of anxiety are often missed. This often happens at puppy stage but can happen at any age. After a while, if these signs are ignored, they can turn into full fear based reactivity with dogs growling and barking at their triggers.

💫 If you think your dog might be showing signs of anxiety, please drop us a message. We can easily help to prevent these signs from escalating.

Introducing a new puppy to your existing dogs goes well if you do it slowly.

✅ Make sure your older dogs have space away from your new puppy.
✅ Never tell your older dog off for growling or snapping.
✅ Do not let them sort it out themselves.

It is your responsibility to make sure initial interactions go well.

Your dog's health issues may not have been picked up, but they will be contributing to their behaviour.

Meet Barney - a young delightful pup who was just a little harder to train than he should've been.

Barney couldn't concentrate in class, wasn't particularly cuddly and couldn't settle.

Our investigations helped get Barney diagnosed with grade 1 luxating patella and hip dysplacia.

Drop us a message and find out how we can help find the health reasons linked to your dog's behaviour.

Your dog's health issues may not have been picked up but they will be contributing to their behaviour.

Meet Monty - a dog who had been given a clean bill of health.

Monty showed aggression to dogs and people, obsessive behaviour and pulling on the lead.

Our investigations helped get Monty diagnosed with multiple degenerate intervertebral discs within the spine plus grade 2 patella luxation.

Drop us a message and find out how we can help find the health reasons linked to your dog's behaviour.
