Dog Behaviour Lincolnshire

Behaviour challenges can be stressful for both dogs and their owners. This behaviour support service is designed to help you understand the why behind your dog’s behaviour and provide clear, practical guidance to support positive change.

All behaviour support is personally delivered by me and tailored to your dog’s individual needs, history, and environment. Sessions focus on identifying underlying causes, building confidence, and creating realistic strategies that fit into your daily life. Progress is made through consistency, patience, and trust—never fear or force.

Support is provided on a one-to-one basis, with calm, structured guidance for both you and your dog. I use positive, reward-based methods that prioritise your dog’s emotional wellbeing while strengthening your relationship and communication.

As a member of the fellowship of animal behaviour clinicians I take behaviour cases on veterinary referral. To gain this simply ask your vet for a referral for the behaviour problem and state you wish the referral to be sent to me.

Dog Behaviour Lincolnshire Packages

Reactivity outside the house package:

This package focuses on dogs who struggle with reactivity (barking, snarling, growling, having big reactions to things) in outdoor environments, such as other dogs, people, or traffic. We will work on identifying what your dog is feeling to understand why they are having these reactions. We will learn what triggers your dog’s reactions and work on helping them feel comfortable in the presence of these triggers.  We will work on improving your lead handling skills and building better focus on you around distractions and triggers. The goal is to develop calmer behaviour on walks, increase confidence for both you and your dog and put safe, practical management strategies in place. All training is tailored to your dog’s individual needs, with email support provided between sessions.

Reactivity inside the house package:

Designed for dogs who show reactive behaviours (barking, snarling, growling, having big reactions) within the home, such as towards visitors, household members, or triggers such as the postman. This package helps you understand the causes behind these behaviours and introduces strategies to manage triggers (things that cause the reactions) within the home environment. You’ll learn how to support calm behaviour, train appropriate behaviours and build positive associations. Training is tailored to your dog, with ongoing email support between sessions.

Handling aggression package:

This package is for dogs who display aggression when being touched or handled. We focus on recognising early warning signs, improving your understanding of body language, and introducing gentle desensitisation (getting the dog used to being touched) techniques. The aim is to build trust when handling and create safer, more positive interactions. You’ll also learn practical safety techniques and follow a gradual, structured training plan tailored to your dog. Email support is included between sessions.

Noise sensitivity package:

Ideal for dogs who are fearful or stressed by noises such as fireworks, thunder, or household sounds. This package helps you identify what is causing your dogs behaviour and recognise stress signals. You will learn to introduce noises gradually while using desensitisation and counter-conditioning techniques to help your dog feel calm around these noises. We also focus on creating a safe environment and building consistent practices. You’ll gain practical strategies to help your dog cope more calmly, all tailored to their needs, with email support between sessions.

Vet handling based aggression package:

For dogs who struggle with aggression during veterinary visits or medical handling. This package focuses on preparing your dog for these situations through gradual practice of handling. Where appropriate, this may include muzzle training and structured handling exercises. The aim is to reduce stress and improve your dog’s experience during vet visits. All training is tailored to your dog, with email support included between sessions.

Aggression in the home:

This package addresses aggressive behaviours within the home such as aggression towards family members, other pets or protection of objects. You’ll learn how to identify triggers, understand body language to prevent bites and worsening of behaviour, and implement effective safety and management strategies. A structured behaviour modification plan will be created specifically for your dog to support safer and more predictable behaviour. Email support is provided between sessions.

Behaviour advice call:

A 30-minute one-to-one call designed to give you clear, practical advice for any behaviour concern. This is ideal if you need guidance, reassurance, or help getting started with a training plan. You’ll receive tailored recommendations, management strategies, and actionable next steps specific to your situation. This won’t solve larger issues like aggression but can help with road blocks in training, simple management issues or help with setting up the dogs environment to prevent behaviour.

Emergency safety measures call:

This urgent support call is designed for situations where you need immediate guidance to reduce risk. You’ll receive clear advice on how to safely manage your dog, along with short-term strategies to keep everyone safe. The call also includes guidance on what steps to take next to gain longer-term support. This service is designed for risk management, after you have had an incident with your dog. I will give you advice to prevent the incident happening again while you gain professional behaviour support. This could be household management advice, environmental changes, routine changes, handling changes and other easily implementable changes.
