Dog Behaviour Support

Behaviour consultations are for owners seeking a holistic approach to helping their dog become the best versions of themselves

‘Socially sensitive’ dogs are our speciality. These dogs show problematic behaviours around people or dogs in public or around visitors to your home. Anxious, nervous, overexcited, aggressive or reactive dogs can find the support they need with us

Aftercare is owner-led. You are in control of choosing the level of support you need, when you need it

Is Your Dog Insured?

Sezan and Sue are fully Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourists (CCAB), registered with the ABTC and full members of the FABC and APBC.

If your policy provides behaviour cover, the costs of Oz Dogs services are likely to be recoverable. Please check directly with your insurer before booking if unsure.

    Dog Behaviour Consultation

    Initial consultation + up to 2x follow-on sessions + 3 months messenger support = £450

    Your consultation package is designed to cover your needs comprehensively - setting you up with the knowledge and foundation skills you need to understand why your dog is behaving the way they are, and what you can do to help them - for a single behaviour problem.

    The first part of your behaviour consultation is a remote (video) session with either Sue or Sezan. We will have plenty of time to discuss your needs, discover the underlying cause of the problem and how to best support your dog in the comfort and convenience of your home.

    So that you don’t have to rely on memory alone, a written assessment and behaviour plan is provided. You have the option to record any remote sessions we undertake.

    Your follow-on package is practical and flexible, you have the freedom to choose when and how to structure support, including:

    • 3 months messenger support AND

    • 2 site sessions (you come to us) OR

    • 2 remote sessions OR

    • 1 site and 1 remote session OR

    • 1 home visit (we come to you). Please book a chat with Sezan first, to check if a home visit is suitable.

    Evening and weekend packages are available at a £50 surcharge.

    Follow-on Support

    You control the help you need, on request or on a monthly schedule

“Oz Dog's focus group has been a great space for us since we joined a few months ago. It is brilliant to feel more able to get out and explore new places with our reactive dog, with other dog owners who understand and have many pearls of wisdom to share! Sezan has made a supportive, informative and friendly group, in which our dog has made some real progress, which we are delighted about! We would highly recommend Sezan's support to other dog owners looking to learn, better understand and have some adventures with their 'socially sensitive' dog!”
