If you want to discuss any problems you have with your dog, please email me at ches@psmicrographs.co.uk The whole purpose of this website is to improve the behaviour of your dog. I may be able to sort this out over the phone or by email.
My experience
I have been dealing with dogs all my life. Many have been easy and some have been more difficult. Each dog has its own character and unwanted behaviours which are often instinctual. In other words, it is normal and in a dog’s DNA to behave in certain ways. What we have to decide is which behaviours we find agreeable and which are not acceptable to us. Some owners will put up with more than others. It’s up to you as to what is tolerated. But what has to be accepted by owners is that some behaviours are essential for a dog’s well-being, psychologically and physically.
I recently decided to consolidate my experience with dogs by embarking on an advanced diploma course in canine behaviour. I really think it would be a good idea for all dog owners to take some kind of course. It would certainly help both the owner and their dog understand each other with the likelihood of a happier and more fulfilled life together. So here I am with a ‘BCCSDip.AdvCanBhv’ certificate to give confidence to those owners who wish to ask for my help and advice.
Arrange a visit
I can visit you at home if you wish. This will incur a charge for fuel initially, unless you live close by. Where’s close by? We live in the county of Powys, mid Wales, UK, between Llandrindod Wells and Builth Wells. Once I have assessed your dog’s behaviour, I can give you advice on how to remedy the problem and show you what to do. If you’re happy with the improvement in your dog’s behaviour and the advice given, there will be a standard fee.
No result – no fee
If you are not happy with the consultation, there will be no charge. I want you, the client, to be completely satisfied with the outcome and pleased with the advice offered. These consultations will be on a 1 to 1 basis so I can concentrate on the behavioural problems of just your dog. I may bring another dog with me if I think it will help with your dog’s behaviour.
Standard charges:
Fuel – 50p per mile – maximum distance visited about 50 mile radius of Newbridge-on-Wye, Powys. (Visits further afield can be arranged if necessary.)
Initial visit – Minimum charge of £50 for up to 2 hours. (If client is satisfied).
Further visits – £25 for the first hour then £15 per hour thereafter.
