Behavioural Assessment

Our thorough assessment evaluates your dog's behaviour and provides insights into the root cause of any issues. This forms the basis for effective and tailored solutions to address your dog's specific needs.

Best Behaviour is dedicated to providing effective solutions with a focus on your dog's well-being and your satisfaction. Elizabeth Steward is a qualified dog behaviourist who has completed the Higher diploma in Canine behaviour management and is a provisional member of the APBC (Association of Pet behaviour counsellors) 

Are you living with a dog demonstrating any unwanted or embarrassing problems, or is their anxiety causing you to become anxious. A dog behaviourist can help eliminate unwanted behaviours through advice and demonstrations. If your dog has any of the following problems or any not listed please contact me. 

Issues with separation anxiety involving destructive behavior, house soiling, self mutilation or howling    

Inappropriate toileting or marking. 

Is your dog showing signs of fear or a phobia towards people , other dogs or sounds

Aggression towards other dogs/people/animals

I will visit you in your home , It is preferable if all family members are present as it is useful to see how your dog interacts with all who live there. In some cases two visits may be needed. Each visit lasts up to three hours, during this time I will assess your dogs behaviour and interactions with family members. You will be provided with demonstrations and coaching in behavioural and training techniques. It is necessary for the success of treatment that the owner adheres to the plan and techniques. 

Established and unwanted behaviours are modified to extinction or to a level that is manageable making for a much happier relationship between dog and owner. 

* The process to behaviour modification requires that the dog has been referred by a veterinarian and the owner has completed a questionnaire on their dogs behaviour.  Please contact me for further information or for a behavioural questionnaire & vet referral form

Puppy behaviour development & training course. 

Undivided attention through one to one coaching to suit you and your puppies needs 

For the developing puppy the first few months are the most important time of their lives. The first few months influence development and future behaviour.  Training at this stage increases the likelihood of having a well balanced adult dog. Many dogs develop behavioural problems as they reach maturity through inappropriate training or no training at all. I decided that this would be the perfect course for owners to provide them with information and practical skills to ensure they have a well behaved family pet.
