Behavioural Solutions
DOES YOUR DOG DISPLAY ANY OF THE FOLLOWING BEHAVIOURS?
- Problems with toilet training and undesirable eliminative behaviours
- Separation related anxiety or other similar behaviours
- Problem barking and whining
- Digging, chewing, and other destructive behaviours
- Auditory sensitivites / phobias eg; thunder, fireworks, whips cracking, etc
- Aggression towards humans, other dogs, or other animals
- Self destructive behaviours such as licking sores, tail chasing, etc
- Eating faeces (Coprophagea)
- Over-excitability / Hyperarousal
- Timidity / Fearfulness
Dogs that experience any of the above problems most often experience a loss of quality of life, and also a diminishment of bond with their owners due to the stress the problems cause. Aggressive and destructive behaviours typically endanger the dog’s welfare, and can be equally dangerous to humans in the worst case scenarios. Seeking suitably qualified and experienced help from a professional applied canine behaviourist is the responsible and humane choice for the owners of dogs affected by these problems.
Where appropriate we refer clients to our network of veterinarians and veterinary behaviourists that can do further testing, although the vast majority of problems can be meaningfully addressed without the need for medication. Where directed we can then work in conjunction with these professionals to provide the ongoing training and behavioural modification programs required to best help your dog.
K9 Services offer customisable training packages with many options, meaning that it has never been easier for you to get the help that your dog requires in a way that most suits your individual circumstances.
