How to book a consultation

All you need to do to get the ball rolling is to get in touch by email or through my web contact form (click here).  I aim to respond within one working day with consultation information and my availability.


questionnaire and vet referral form

Prior to our consultation I ask you to complete two forms - a vet referral form and a pre-consultation questionnaire.  There is no need to get these completed before booking, and I will send you this information when you first get in touch, but you may want to get a head start!


Pre-consultation questionnaire

So I can review the details of your pet's behaviour, I ask that you download and complete the relevant consultation questionnaire, and email it to me prior to the consultation:


Vet referral form

Due to the importance of ruling out medical factors for your pet's unwanted behaviour, and because I view your vet as a partner in the behaviour consultation process, I require that your case is formally referred to me from your vet. Don't worry, this simply involves you and your vet completing the very short form below. I ask that you send this referral form to me before the consultation (we can book a consultation before this).

It is difficult to put into words my gratitude, so I can only highly recommend your services for all those dog owners that would like assistance to have the perfect pet. If a miracle can take place with Sparky being such a difficult pet, then there is hope for all dogs.

I had come to dread every outing with Holly, but now she appears to be paying more attention to us and is much more responsive. I think I can safely say that Holly’s life has been transformed for the better and she is very happy.

Another dog owner we had not seen for a while commented on how much calmer Buster seemed to be with his dog (an Airedale). It is amazing how your advice has been so effective.
