Anxious or Fearful

Clinical Dog Behaviour Support in Glasgow

Is your dog scared of sounds? Worried about walks? Anxious in the vet?

Fearful of grooming? Avoidant of the car?  

  • Are they hiding or panicking when they hear sounds? 

  • Are they avoidant of their lead? Not keen to walk? Unsure on car travel?

  • Are they uncertain when being handled by the vet or groomer?

  • Perhaps maybe even showing signs of aggression when scared in these situations?

  • Is your dog’s behaviour leaving you feeling emotional or stressed? 

  • Is their behaviour impacting on your life? Does your dog appear stressed or overwhelmed in these situations? 

Would you like to be able to take your dog into situations and help them engage in activities without worry?

Would you like to feel like you have a toolkit of skills to help you on your journey to your dog being less anxious or fearful? 

Would you like to better understand your dog and help them feel comfortable in situations they find overwhelming?

Then this package is for you!

  • One to one behaviour consultations are for dogs of any age to cover any behaviour issues you might be encountering. Sessions are available to book on Monday afternoons, and Friday and Saturday mornings. You can choose to have the session at home, or at the The Behaviour Clinic based at Riverside Vets in Armadale - you do not need to be registered here to book a session!

    A behaviour consultation includes:

    • Pre-session questionnaire review *

    • 1 x behaviour consultation (approx. 2 hours)

    • 2 x follow on sessions (approx. 90 mins)

    • Training planner with tracking sheets

    • Training plan sent to you after each session

    • Training handouts

    • Email and WhatsApp support for the duration of your package

    • 1 week support after your last session

    • Optional access to Guardians of the Galaxy live online course

      * At booking you will be asked to fill in a short questionnaire about your dog to help us get the most from our time together! Your vet will also be required to sign a form to consent to you working with me. Your dogs medical notes will be sent to me ahead of the session and reports from the sessions will be sent onto your vet to be added to your dog’s vet record. We will keep the vet updated on our progress as we go!

  • Together we will work to understand your dog’s emotional needs. Session one is a big chat about all things your dog, followed by a written report. We will set some initial tasks to help set you both up for success! You will get some useful handouts and links to further resources.

    Our main aim from session one is to prevent the undesirable behaviour from being practiced – what gets practiced, gets perfected! There will be lots of top tips to help navigate life with a dog showing fearful or anxious behaviours.

    At sessions two and three we will focus on training games to help change how your dog feels around other dogs. There will be demos of games, handy guides and support every step of the way with training trackers, email and WhatsApp support to help you share your progress and celebrate your successes!

    A package of support lasts 3 months, with one session booked per month, and you will have support for one week following your last session. Additional follow-up sessions are available and can be booked at any time if you need a little training boost or extra support!

  • If your dog is insured, you may be able to claim back the cost of these sessions from your insurer - check your policy!

  • Are you struggling with more than one issue or something other than what is listed? Not to worry - there is still help available! It is very common for there to be more than one issue present as behaviour issues are complex and often intertwine and overlap with each other. If your dog is working through more than one issue, the likelihood is that you will just need more sessions to help us reach your goals! We will work to prioritise the issues you’re having and work through each one step by step!

Booking Terms and Conditions

“We had been navigating behaviour difficulties with our young dog Lola but had no idea they were pain related. Ashley spotted these signs quickly and supported us on our journey to investigating the cause. Ashley’s ongoing kindness, compassion and advocacy have been a driving force for us to push for investigations and then being able to access the care Lola needed. Our journey to understanding and addressing Lola’s behavioural difficulties wouldn’t have been possible without her expertise. We continue to sing Ashley’s praises to anyone who will listen! ”
