Specialist Behavioural Training
Investing in your dog's future.
​
At Dog Training Revolution, we understand that your dog is more than a pet - they're a valued and beloved member of your family which is why you are looking for the best help and support available. So, what behaviour problems can we help you with? And can you get this help for free?
Let us answer that...
The Initial Assessment
For dogs that bark, bite, growl, lunge and everything in-between...
"What's involved?"
That first phone call...
First, we will start with a FREE discovery call with either one of us so you can take your time to explain the issues you're having with your dog and we can ask any questions like "are they fit and well?", "is this behaviour new?", "are they insured?" The more we know about your reactive dog and the things you need help with, the better. After the call, we may book you straight in for your initial assessment, or we may recommend you pop along to your vets for a check-up and referral.
Insured or not insured...
We will work with everyone; whether your dog is insured or not. But we believe that everyone should get the most (and best) from their insurance providers so if you are insured, we recommend you having a chat to them or a good look through your policy to see if behavioural help & training is covered. This DOESN'T mean your dog will be blacklisted as "aggressive". Behaviour help can cover anxiety, nervousness, dog reactivity, separation anxiety and isolation distress, human directed aggression, sound and noise sensitivity to name a few. But we can talk about this during our free chat (we are here to support you even before you've booked)
The initial assessment...
If you are not insured, we will get you booked in for you initial assessment session after our call (providing we haven't recommended a vet check up to rule out pain or any other conditions) This is a 2-2.5hr in-person meet up at your home or at Oak Moor Farm, Grindon but don't let the title worry you. This session is to get to know you and your dog and everything about them. We are the best at what we do as we look at the entire picture from diet to sleep patterns. From exercise levels to ancestry. We will create a personal plan just for you and your dog that will help you to achieve your goals FAST. Of course, we will sprinkle in other training along to the way! P.s you'll also get all of our training tutorials sent to you to practice at home too...for free.

​
Let's look at some common behaviour issues...
RESOURCE GUARDING
Toys, food, sofas, personal space...
Your dog may growl, freeze and stare, steal things, run away if they have something valuable or they may have even snapped or bitten. It keeps their precious things safe and it keeps you (and other dogs/animals) away. Resource guarding can start at very low levels even from puppy hood and can escalate FAST.
DOG-DOG REACTIVITY
This is a huge umbrella term but dog-dog reactivity can look like pulling, lunging, growling, barking, snapping, staring, circling (to name a few) behaviours towards other dogs. It can happen at home and in public so it is important that your training covers their lives as a whole. And yes, your dog CAN be sociable towards other dogs AND reactive. It's not all about aggression!
Fear, lack of confidence, bad past experiences, poor socialisation, lack of early life experiences, genetics...we have worked with it all.
HUMAN DIRECTED AGGRESION
This one is quite self explanatory and shows many similarities to dog-dog aggression. However, human-directed aggression is commonly triggered by poor life experiences and genetic predispositions so we work to build up your dogs confidence and coping skills, giving you the knowledge and tools to help your dog as an individual. It is important to know that we will work with ANY breed of dog and we are also experienced in working with security and guard dogs.
SEPARATION ANXIETY
Another term that you will see all over the internet but separation anxiety very often requires us to work alongside your vet to help to manage your dog's anxiety whilst we work through a training and management plan. However, not all dogs that don't like to be left alone have separation anxiety! But there are other issues that may be to blame. Let's explore that in our FREE call.
GENERALISED ANXIETY
There are some breeds that are predisposed to feel more anxious about the world than others and it can be a challenge to try and work out what exactly it is that worries them, it can feel like it's just EVERYTHING! It is important to explore all areas of your dog's day-to-day so we can help to improve their anxiety as a whole.
