Dog and puppy trainer Isabelle Papé of Ringwood Dogs can help with reducing unwanted behaviour that has become an ingrained habit over time, managing it and teaching alternative behaviours. Should your dog have a specific behaviour that you are finding hard to manage, a tailor made programme will be created to suit you and your dog’s needs and target the behaviours you are currently experiencing with your dog. There is never a “Cure All” method for training dogs with habitual behavioural problems as each dog and owner will have very different needs and expectations. However, by rewarding and focusing on the behaviour you do want your dog to display, we can then begin the reinforcing cycle that helps your dog repeat the desired behaviour and a better chance of leaving the unwanted behaviours behind.
Dealing with a dog with habitual behavioural problems can be exhausting, but once owners have a better understanding and training is incorporated into daily life, your dog will become much more enjoyable and you’ll feel better in control!
Problem Behaviour Consultations
If your dog is displaying problem behaviour, Ringwood Dogs can help by addressing the cause of the problem as well as the behaviour problem itself.
The initial consultation will take about 1.5 – 2hrs where a full case history will be taken. Ringwood Dogs will look at all the factors affecting your dog and a personalised training programme, offering suitable behaviour modification exercises will be demonstrated and taught to you. All consultations come with detailed homework sheets and follow-up consultations are recommended as necessary. Problem behaviour dealt with by Ringwood Dogs are:
- Excessive Barking
- Separation Anxiety
- Generalised Anxiety and Nervousness
- Overexcitement / Attention Seeking
- Destructive Behaviour
- General Bad Manners: Jumping, Mouthing, Stealing
- Guarding Behaviour
- Reactivity towards other Dogs, People, Environment….
- Relations between “sibling” dogs at home (dog’s that live together)
- Lunging / Frustration on Leash
- Inappropriate urination and defecation in the home
- Children & Dogs: help with building a great relationship between dog and child and putting management in place to prevent accidents and potential problems.
Severe Behavioural Problems: Please note complex behavioural issues such as aggression to other dogs or humans, severe anxiety, phobias etc will benefit from a full veterinary health check and referral to a registered clinical canine behaviourist who will work closely with you, your dog and your vet and discuss medication/treatment as needed. Please get in touch for a full list of clinical canine behaviourists in the local area.
