With the wonders of modern technology we are able to provide remote consultations and training throughout the UK and have had clients from across the world.

The advantages of using technology for consultations are many:

• Nick can work with you even if you are unwell (eg if you have Covid etc).
• Nick will be with you live in front of you, just as he would be if he came to your home.
• Nick can work with you even if we do not live near each other.
• It will save you time and money (no travel cost).
• It will be much more convenient for you.
• It can be much less stressful for you and your dog. 
• Follow-up consults can be much simpler to arrange.
• You will be supported with video and a written plan.

This technology works well with behaviour problems such as Separation Anxiety, Resource Guarding, Aggression Towards People, House Training, Muzzle Training, Puppy Problems and session follow-ups to name but a few. 

At times we can find our dog's behaviour puzzling or troublesome, this can have a huge impact on our lives, the lives of the family and even society as a whole.  A behavioural consultation will help you to understand your dog's behaviour and provide you with the information and practical skills to modify the undesirable behaviour. (See below for a list of common behaviour problems)

Depending on the issue, a Veterinary referral may be required prior to starting. This is to ensure that medical factors that could be affecting the problem are known and can be treated appropriately. It may be the case that the problem does not have a behavioural component and is entirely caused by medical reasons and therefore can be treated by your vet. We will happily liaise directly with your Vet to ensure they are kept informed and, where necessary, are part of the behaviour treatment and modification process.
 
Your online Zoom behaviour consult package includes:-

• Up to 2.5 hours Initial Consult via Zoom 1-1 via Zoom with Nick.
• 1-Hour Follow-Up 1-1 with Nick via Zoom (approx 2 - 6 weeks after the initial consult).
• During the consult Nick will gather further information and behavioural history, answer any questions you may have regarding the problem behaviour and demonstrate your dog's individual behaviour change plan.
• A copy of your dog's behaviour change plan for you to follow after the consult.
• Where required, a written overview of the behaviour change plan sent directly to your for your vet.
• ​Liaison with your vet where required.
• Any additional handouts, supplied during or after the consultation and advice for any equipment required.
• Receipt for insurance claims and/or assist completion of insurance claim form, if applicable
• Up to 3 months of distance support via phone/email/WhatsApp

As an accredited behaviourist, the techniques Nick will use to change your dog's behaviour are based on a scientific understanding of animal behaviour while utilising positive reinforcement based training methods. Changing a dog's behaviour will take time, but we will work together to find the most practical way to fit this into your life and achieve the best possible outcome.

Nick will only work with a small number of clients at a time to ensure we can provide you with an excellent service. He is proud to be recognised for achieving positive outcomes for both pet and owner.
