Scentsational Dogs delivers friendly dog behaviour assessments and training solutions. I have a specialist interest in dogs who exhibit aggressive, fearful and repetitive problem behaviours.
I cover Rotherham and Doncaster in South Yorkshire. If you’re based further than 15 miles from S63, additional mileage costs will apply. Alternatively, I may be able to offer online support (case dependent).
I work one-to-one with you and your dog so that all my attention is on you for the duration you pay for. This means I design each session to you and your dog’s needs and make changes as they arise. I find many people prefer this approach and the flexibility it offers – sessions are not set to specific days, times or locations – I work around your schedule to ensure you achieve the best results.
Scentsational Dogs is built on the following principles:
The behaviour consultation can last several hours and talking through your dog’s problem behaviour can be difficult. This is a non-judgmental, fact-finding process where I will ask lots of questions to assess the emotion and motivation underlying your dog’s behaviour. All dogs deserve to be treated with respect and kindness which is why I use science-based training methods, providing your dog with choice and autonomy through positive reinforcement.
A big part of success is connection. My behaviour plans focus on strengthening your relationship and building trust and understanding between you and your dog. As your behaviourist, I strive to be your approachable and friendly coach.
I will work alongside your vet as part of a multidisciplinary team, ensuring your dog’s physical and emotional well-being is being cared for throughout their behaviour support. Additionally, if you utilise a dog walker or groomer, they can be included in follow-up sessions to ensure a consistent approach to your dog’s needs.
