Behaviour Consultation Options

The ABC is your entry point to behaviour consultation.

Read this first to learn more (at a glance) ›

All cases begin here with a remote consultation, allowing for the most thorough and objective assessment of behaviour, environment, learning history, and physical indicators. Remote investigation is considered the highest standard of professional practice in behaviour cases and the most cost-effective pathway for real change.

We only start training in person once your dog is ready — otherwise we risk doing more harm than good.

In-home, one-to-one support is introduced later in the process when clinically appropriate and once your dog’s system is ready for learning.

• Detailed behaviour application and history review
• Structured video review (behaviour, movement, posture, gait where relevant)
• 90-minute remote consultation focused on root-cause analysis and system regulation
• Personalised stabilisation plan (management, safety, enrichment, environmental and emotional regulation)
• Identification of medical or physical red flags and veterinary liaison where indicated
• Clear decision-making on next steps: medical referral, specialist review, training, or discharge
• Guidance on when your dog is ready for training stages
• Follow-up remote review session to discuss progress and next steps

Fee: €200 – BOOK YOUR CONSULTATION

The ABC allows us to determine whether meaningful behaviour change is currently possible, or whether medical or biological factors must be addressed first.

This consultation acts as your entry point into comprehensive, integrated behavioural healthcare. Each case is reviewed within our multidisciplinary network across behaviour, training, veterinary, physical and welfare disciplines.

Once strong foundations are in place, you may choose to add in-home support, hands-on training, or clinical referral as appropriate.

For situations where, following remote assessment, an in-home visit is clinically appropriate and safe.

• Remote pre-assessment and video review
• Approx. 2-hour in-home assessment and guidance session
• Personalised in-home behaviour & training program

It’s completely normal to wonder — and for many dogs, remote support is the safest and most effective place to begin.

• Lower stress — no unfamiliar person entering your dog’s space initially
• Better quality information from real-life footage
• Safer for worried or defensive dogs
• Improved collaboration with vets and allied professionals
• Your fee goes into assessment and planning, not travel time

Remote behaviour work is widely used by veterinary behaviourists and international clinics because it improves welfare, accuracy and safety.
