Your behaviour consultation journey
The programme: a clear path to a calmer, happier pet and a more peaceful home begins with a detailed face to face consultation in your home, lasting up to three hours. During this appointment, Dr Irene Welford-Christie will take the time to gain a thorough understanding of your animal's medical history, behaviour, daily routine, environment and emotional wellbeing.
A clear path to a calmer, more content pet
Behavioural change takes time, consistency and ongoing support. To help achieve the best possible outcome, we recommend a further two months treatment plan.
Reset phase, 4-8 weeks, £595
This initial 4-8 week-long phase is known as the RESET phase and is about creating calm and emotional stability. Even if you are only able to carry out the RESET phase, this will take you a long way towards your goal of a calmer, happier pet.
Rewire and Rebuild, 2 months, £395
Here we teach new responses in a calm environment, before taking those new responses and starting to apply them in daily life.
Follow up consultations, every 3-6 months, £195
Many animals benefit from ongoing support after completing their initial behavioural programme. To help maintain progress and address any new challenges, follow up consultations are recommended every three to six months.
