Behaviour Support for Dogs in Sevenoaks

Helping dogs feel safer, calmer, and more in control — one step at a time.

Behaviour Consults

Understanding Comes First

When dogs react to the world around them — barking at other dogs, freezing in fear, or spiralling into chaos — it’s rarely about “bad behaviour.” It’s about emotional regulation, safety, and confidence.

That’s where behaviour support begins.

These sessions are for dogs who:

React to other dogs on walks
Seem nervous or shut down
Struggle with over-arousal and constant alertness
Find it hard to settle or regulate themselves

This isn’t obedience training — it’s about understanding what your dog is experiencing and how to support change that lasts.

What I Do — and Don’t Do

I work with:

Dog-to-dog reactivity (barking, lunging, lead frustration)
Nervous or overwhelmed dogs
Arousal regulation issues — dogs that can’t switch off or settle

I don’t take on:

People-directed aggression that has resulted in a bite
Separation-related problems (e.g. distress when left alone)

If you’re facing those issues, I’ll happily refer you to a trusted specialist — your dog’s wellbeing comes first.

What to Expect

All behaviour work begins with a 90-minute initial consult at my secure outdoor venue near Sevenoaks. This allows us to:

Build trust — for both you and your dog
Talk in detail about what’s going on
Observe calmly in a safe space
Create a general plan to guide your next steps

You can then choose to book follow-up sessions as needed — no pressure or assumptions.

Professional, Collaborative Support

I’m happy to work with your vet if needed — many behaviour challenges involve medical or developmental factors.
A canine physiotherapist works on-site, and we often collaborate when posture, pain or movement may play a role.
I maintain a network of trusted professionals, including a clinical behaviourist and a separation anxiety specialist, for referrals when appropriate.
