Dog Behaviour Consultations in Southern Spain.
What Can A Certified Dog Behaviour Consultant Do For You?
Dog Behaviour Consultants are uniquely qualified and have expertise in evaluating, managing and modifying a wide range of challenging canine behaviours. Our methods build and strengthen relationships between human and canine. Our programmes help to minimise your stress and your dog’s stress. We emphasise preventing behaviour problems through diligent management while we work to modify unwanted behaviours.
When Should You Call a Certified Dog Behaviour Consultant?
The right time to call us is as soon as you notice your dog has a behaviour problem. Identifying the causes of a behaviour problem early on can make the difference between a happy, enjoyable relationship with your dog and a stressful, constant battle with your canine companion.
What to Expect During a Dog Behaviour Consultation:
Our consultations begin with a detailed history of your dog’s behaviour problems. We have a long and detailed, but necessary form for you to complete. The more we know about the dog’s history and the behaviour problem, the more effectively we can address it. We may also observe your dog’s behaviour and the interaction of your dog with family members. We will then develop a behaviour modification programme and help you set realistic and achievable goals.
The behavioural issues we frequently consult on include fear-aggression, dog-dog issues, remedial socialisation, and issues between dogs and children, not to mention a variety of other issues which could require anything from management to intensive desensitisation and counter-conditioning programmes.

Professional Canine Behaviour Consultant - A definition
"Dictionaries define the word Consultant in several ways. PPAB defines a Consultant as a professional who undertakes consultations and focuses primarily on modifying behaviour problems that are elicited by emotions. Consultants are also professional dog trainers that can competently teach obedience classes, day training, private training sessions, board and train programmes , that focus on pet dog skills and manners.
Consultants are also behaviour and training professionals skilled in the application of science and artistic endeavour who deliver results through the development of mutually respectful, caring relationships”. - The Pet Professional Accreditation Board
