DOG BEHAVIOUR & TRAINING
with David Anderson

 

Every dog is an individual and we believe they should be treated as such, therefore we offer one to one training where the training can be tailored to suit you and your dogs personal requirements – whatever you are trying to achieve, whether it be a top level show or working dog or purely to have a happy, well balanced pet to be proud of.

 

 

 

The first step to understanding a training or behaviour issue is a dog behaviour & psychology assessment. These are available at Chancepixies with qualified animal behaviourist Pippa Ducat of Best Behaviour. These assessments are carried out at Chancepixies with both trainers, Pippa and David, working with you and your dog to get to the source of any issues you may have, achieving the right solution for your requirements, guiding you through how to most effectively communicate with your dog.

These sessions usually last for about 2 hours and are charged at £170, and some insurance companies will reimburse this fee for behavioural treatment, providing you have been referred by your vet first.

To effectively assess your dog it is useful for other members of the family involved (including other pets) to be present at the assessment, any video footage that you may have of, and if you can bring your usual training equipment with you this will also help us to build up an accurate picture.

Following the assessment, you will receive a written report detailing the issues discussed and our recommendations for any further training.

Further training and support may be recommended depending on the initial assessment and your own requirements, and can be carried out either by Pippa, especially if the problem relates more to when your pet is in the home environment, or with David if a controlled, safe outdoor environment is more suitable to your needs' the choice is up to you.

One to one training with David is at £50 an hour usually held at Chancepixies where the environment can be controlled and a variety of everyday scenarios can be incorporated into training, including other dogs etc.

Pippa will also contact you after your assessment to check on the progress of your dog.
