Problems I Can Help With

The sort of behaviour problems I regularly deal with in dogs and cats include:

  • Reactivity towards people or other dogs.
  • Phobias and fearful behaviours, e.g. Fireworks and Thunder
  • Excessive barking.
  • Nervousness.
  • Toileting problems.
  • Separation problems.
  • Destruction.
  • Marking / Spaying / Soiling.
  • General control and training problems such as pulling on the lead and recall.

Each case I work on is unique, and I work with you and your cat or dog, giving you advice on how to modify your cat or dog’s behaviour during and after a behaviour consultation. 

With my guidance, we can work towards modifying your pet’s behaviour, resulting in a happier home for everyone.

My behaviour consultations are fully covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

Client Testimonials

“We’re now in a place we could have never imagined, with both animals in the same room and both of us calm and able to focus on other things. We can’t thank Melanie enough for all of her work, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”
Sarah Evans - Trustpilot Review
“Melanie is an amazing animal behaviourist who has helped us with our four dogs. Mel's knowledge is so extensive it has given us a much better understanding of how our dogs think and consequently act and helping us create a more harmonious home.”
