Dog Behaviour & Training

Dog ownership comes with great responsibility, part of which is to train your dog so that it behaves in an appropriate and safe way around people and other dogs.

A well-trained dog will bring you and your family great happiness, whereas a badly behaved dog can be a source of much anxiety, both for the owner and the dog itself.

It is also possible for dogs who were once well-behaved to develop behavioural problems during the course of their life, perhaps owing to a change in circumstances or even the dog aging. You may decide to seek expert advice and usually the starting point for this is your local vet who can then refer you to a qualified dog behaviourist. There may also be treatments that could help in specific situations.

This section looks at what to look at in a training class for you and your dog, how to cope with some common behaviour problems such as excessive barking and seperation anxiety, as well some excellent products available for behavioural issues in dogs such as Zylkene and DAP.
