This is a free, no-obligation chat to point you in the right direction -- not the same as our paid Initial Consultation, which is a full formal assessment with a written report.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you Qualified Behaviourists?

Yes. It means that we are among the very few who can produce written reports for a Full Behavioural Assessment. Nowadays everyone and their cousin pretend they are, but we were force-free Behaviourists long before it was even "a thing". Odds are, we were helping dogs before you could have a pint (yes, Frenchy's that old!)

The call back: What is the catch?

No catch. Just tell us what's going on and we'll give you our advice, free of charge. We never solicit business.

Where are you based? Am I in your working area?

We are based in Bournemouth, and regularly work across Poole, Christchurch and the wider Dorset and Hampshire area -- we'll also consult anywhere nationwide (fees may apply outside BH postcodes.)

What are your fees?

Our fees are public. We charge flat rates and you can get the full detail on our price list. Most cases are solved within one to three sessions; these are 2 to 3 hour sessions over the course of a month and are charged £75 each.

Do you do private training, one-on-one?

We ONLY do private sessions, we do not do groups. If your case requires it, we may bring one or several dogs, but it will only be with you.

Do you train my dog or me?

It depends. More often than not we train YOU to train your dog. This is known as Dog Training Instruction (DTI). We can also train your dog on your behalf depending on the case.

Can you really fix my dog using ONLY positive reinforcement?

Put us to the test and make up your own mind.

Can you teach me how to use e-collars or prong collars?

No. There is no correct way and no justification for using these devices: for over 30 years we've successfully used only science-based methods, even for extreme prey-drive.
