Specialist Reactivity Behaviour Consultations
Sometimes, understanding your dog's behaviour needs a more individual approach.
If you're struggling with your Frenchie's reactivity and would benefit from professional guidance tailored to your dog, a private behaviour consultation gives us the opportunity to explore what's happening, identify the factors contributing to their reactions and develop a practical way forward.
Consultations are with me, Heather Gilbert, a qualified Canine Science Behaviourist and founder of Calluna Canines, specialising in French Bulldogs and small bull breeds.
Who this consultation is for
This consultation is for owners of French Bulldogs and small bull breeds experiencing behaviours such as:
- Barking, lunging or reacting towards other dogs.
- Reactivity towards unfamiliar people.
- Becoming overwhelmed or overexcited in particular environments.
- Difficulty disengaging from triggers.
- Patterns of reactive behaviour that you're struggling to understand or manage.
Similar behaviours can have very different causes, so every dog is looked at as an individual.
A veterinary assessment may be recommended where pain, illness, sudden changes in behaviour or significant safety concerns are involved.
Specialist Reactivity Behaviour Consultation: £195
One-off fee · delivered online
Your consultation includes:
- A detailed pre-consultation behaviour questionnaire, completed by you and reviewed before the appointment.
- A private 60-minute online consultation.
- An individualised discussion of your dog's behaviour, triggers, emotional responses, environment and relevant history.
- A personalised written training and management plan, emailed to you after the consultation.
- A recording of the consultation, provided with your consent.
- Links to relevant training demonstrations and resources, where appropriate.
Your plan will reflect the Calluna Canines approach: positive reinforcement, welfare-focused and built around the ROOTS framework.
All consultations take place online. There are no in-person appointments.
Optional Follow-Up Consultation: £75
If you've completed an initial consultation, you can choose to book a separate 45-minute online follow-up, typically around two to three weeks afterwards. It can be used to:
- Review progress.
- Discuss any difficulties.
- Refine your existing training and management plan.
- Agree on the next steps.
The follow-up is not included in the £195 initial consultation. It costs an additional £75 and is booked and paid for separately. It does not include another comprehensive written behaviour report.
