BEHAVIOUR REHAB
Free basic welfare advice is offered to all clients if/when needed, but for consistent behavioural problems or for new clients with specific issues it's advisable to book a separate and more in-depth behaviour consultation as soon as the problem arises; the sooner you get help, the quicker and easier it will be to correct and eradicate the unwanted behaviour...but please note:
You will have to change your behaviour too!
Shelley is many things, but a magician she is not! Nor does she posess a magic wand that can be used to wave away your pet's unwanted behaviour and make it into the perfect angel you want it to be. Our animals mirror us, so if your pet isn't behaving the way you'd wish it to, then more than likely...you're the reason why.
And you're probably completely unaware of what it is you're doing wrong...right? You wouldn't be the first (or the last).
During the consultation Shelley will be able to help you to understand what your pet is actually saying and by teaching you a few, simple techniques she can help you to build up the trust and respect that's lacking, therefore creating a more balanced (and stronger) bond between you.
The rehabilitation techniques she uses are in keeping with the natural body language and energy of your pet, where calm assertive leadership is key in creating a calm and submissive companion. Consistancy and repetition are also just as equally important and the whole family needs to be a hundred percent committed to creating a balanced pet for the rehabilitation to succeed. After all, it's in your interest; as you too will benefit from the sessions by becoming a calmer and more assertive person in return.
Unfortunately due to a lack of facilities all consultations and rehabilitation sessions have to take place in your own home or in a public place, so Shelley will be limited on the severity of cases she can take on, but tries to accommodate most behavioural problems where she can.
But why bother; I'm fine with my pet's behaviour? You ask...
Well, I'm going to let you in on a little secret:
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!
I know...mind blowing huh?
But it's true; love is shown by you fulfilling their needs not them fulfilling yours; that would be selfish. By making sure their needs are met, they will give you what you want in return; love, companionship and their undivided loyality as only a furry beastie knows how. Owners treat their beloved pets as though they were children, but this 'child' never grows up and never developes the ability to reason and will never understand what the hell your saying to it, so it's much better to speak their language than expect them to understand yours.
So, forget the guilt trip you put on yourself and be proactive; if your pet (whatever the species) suffers from any anxiety related issues, aggression or has obsessive compulsive tendancies then please don't ignore it, contact us today and book a free no obligation assessment and be a part of the solution instead.
