Behaviour Support for Dogs in Sevenoaks

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

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.

 

Booking a Behaviour Consult

Start with a 90-minute 1:1 consult. From there, we decide what’s next together.

It’s OK If Things Feel Messy

No one brings me a perfect dog — and you don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to take the first step, and I’ll meet you there.
