Our aim is to be realistic about causes, options, and improvements. We want you to feel more in control and confident that no matter what decisions lie ahead, you are making the right ones.
“We sought help from Karen when our 6 month old puppy Ted presented with resource guarding. When we first started the treatment he was quite badly guarding and showing serious aggression to all members of the family, most worryingly a lot of it was directed at my 2 children especially the youngest.
I felt confident carrying out the behaviour programme she gave us, Karen was realistic all the way through treatment and always made us aware of the risks of any training. It can be tempting to listen to advice from others and from internet sources/forums but this sometimes caused more problems or had a negative effect on Teds progress.
Our treatment was all online/email based. Karen was very responsive to all my emails and questions (of which there were many!) and we found the online treatment process just as good as if it had been face to face.
By the end of treatment Ted made a huge amount of progress and we now have the knowledge and strategies to carry the treatment on by ourselves.
Thank you Karen!”
The Bates family and Ted
“Thank you so much for your invaluable help and advice from all of us. My husband and I can’t tell you how much of a difference two hours with you has made!” (Mr and Mrs S, Peterborough)
A thorough look at your pet’s behaviour as part of your family can bring all sorts of solutions that you may never have considered. Karen’s expert, qualified and experienced viewpoint will give you an understanding as well as kind, practical solutions that, as far as possible, will bring rewarding results.

Q. Is this something that my pet insurance may cover?
A. Yes! Behaviour Consultation fees with an CCAB and/or APBC full member are fully or partly covered by many insurance policies. Please contact your insurer for details.
Q. Why must I seek referral from my Veterinary Surgeon?
A. The APBC recognises that there can be a link between some medical conditions and behavioural symptoms. As a result a strong link is essential between the Veterinary surgeon and the behaviourist.
Q. How quickly will I see results?
A. The program advised may produce some results very quickly, particularly where you are learning new practical handling skills. Often it will take time, effort and commitment from all the family to produce the improved behaviour. Always remember that your dog’s problems may have developed over a long period of time. Following your consultation, further advice and support is available by phone and email as you progress. There is a chance that you may need further training assistance following behaviour consultation which may be booked separately.
