A dog behaviour consult is a structured, in-depth session designed to assess and support complex behavioural challenges. It’s often the best first step when dealing with issues like reactivity, fear, aggression, resource guarding, or anxiety. Rather than offering quick fixes, a consult focuses on understanding the root of the problem and developing a practical, personalized plan for change.
In this section of the blog, you’ll find articles that explain when to consider a dog behaviour consult, what happens during the process, and how this kind of support can lead to lasting results. Topics include how consults are different from standard training sessions, what kinds of questions to expect, and how to prepare for a successful experience.
A behaviour consult often includes an assessment of your dog’s environment, triggers, history, and current routines. From there, your trainer or behaviour professional will outline recommended next steps that may include training, management, enrichment, or veterinary collaboration.

We approach each case with empathy and curiosity, aiming to help both dog and guardian feel more confident and supported.
