Is your dog struggling to cope with some aspects of life?
A thorough look at your dog’s behaviour as part of your family can bring all sorts of solutions that you may never have considered. An expert, qualified and experienced viewpoint will give you an understanding as well as kind, practical solutions that, as far as possible, will bring rewarding results.
Karen is an accredited Behaviourist with the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (www.apbc.org.uk) . She is also an Associate Member of the British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers (ABIPDT).

As Karen is an APBC member you may find that your pet insurance policy covers behavioural help.
As with all behaviour consultations you should contact your Veterinary Surgeon to ensure that your dog is fit and healthy. Often, pain or other medical conditions such as thyroid problems can affect your dog’s behaviour.
If you are a Veterinary Surgeon and would like to register Karen with your practice for referrals, please contact her here.

Please ask your Vet for details about referral
Q. Is this something that my pet insurance may cover?
A. Yes! Behaviour Consultation fees with an APBC member are fully or partly covered by many insurance policies. Please contact your insurer for details.
Q. Why must I seek referral from my Veterinary Surgeon?
A. The APBC recognises that there can be a link between some medical conditions and behavioural symptoms. As a result a strong link is essential between the Veterinary surgeon and the behaviourist.
Q. How quickly will I see results?
A. The program advised may produce some results very quickly, particularly where you are learning new practical handling skills. Often it will take time, effort and commitment from all the family to produce the improved behaviour. Always remember that your dog’s problems may have developed over a long period of time. Following your consultation, further advice and support is available by phone and email as you progress. There is a chance that you may need further training assistance following behaviour consultation which may be booked separately.
