Why might your pet need behavioural therapy?

Barking, hiding, growling, or destructive behaviour isn’t just frustrating. It’s often a sign that your pet is struggling to cope with its surroundings. These behaviours usually get worse over time when left unaddressed. What appears to be disobedience is often a result of fear, confusion, or unmet emotional needs.


Behavioural therapy gives you a clear way forward. With a deeper understanding of your pet’s emotional triggers, we help you build better communication, reduce conflict, and restore a sense of calm for both of you. It’s not about control. It’s about trust, clarity, and a healthier daily rhythm.

Dog

Cat

Separation Anxiety

For dogs who bark, chew, or panic when left alone, even for short periods. This behaviour often worsens over time without intervention.

Aggression

Support for dogs who growl, bite, lunge, or guard food, people, or territory. We help identify triggers and build safer, calmer responses.

Noise Phobias

Help for dogs who shake, hide, or panic during fireworks, thunderstorms, or sudden loud sounds. These fears often escalate without desensitisation.

Leash Pulling

Guidance for dogs who are difficult to manage on walks due to pulling, barking, or reacting to people or other animals.

Repetitive Behaviours

Support for dogs who pace, spin, tail-chase, or lick excessively. These behaviours may indicate stress, boredom, or underlying medical issues.

Hiding, trembling, or avoidance
