INITIAL BEHAVIOUR ASSESSMENT
Price: $200 – $800
(Depending on risk level, reactivity, aggression, severity and location)
Every dog begins with a 1.5-hour, in-depth behaviour assessment designed to uncover exactly why the behaviour exists and what needs to change.
During the Assessment I Evaluate:
Current behaviour patterns
How they react, what triggers them and where their behaviour begins and ends.
Body language and communication
Signals of stress, fear, uncertainty, overstimulation and dominance owners often miss.
Emotional state and confidence
Whether behaviours come from fear, excitement, frustration, anxiety, lack of structure or overdrive.
Reactivity levels
Barking, lunging, whining, staring, fixation, freezing, pulling or avoidance.
Aggression risk
I carefully observe any signs of escalation suchHard stares, forward pressure, guarding, unpredictability and escalation.
Environmental behaviour
How the dog behaves inside the home versus outdoors. Many dogs change completely when the world becomes bigger.
Handler relationship
How your dog responds to you, your timing, your leadership, your confidence level and how much they rely on or override you.
Nervous system response
Some dogs shut down, some explode outward, some overthink. I identify how their nervous system reacts so I know exactly how to build confidence and control.
Social behaviour
If needed, I use my trained decoy dogs to test safe levels of exposure for reactivity, fear aggression or confidence building.
