Behaviour Consultations Behaviour Consultations Many insurers (if you have pet insurance) in the majority of instances may pay for the cost of a dog behaviour consultation, please check with your insurance provider in the first instance before booking a consultation through this method. in some instances your insurer will pay for all of the fees less your excess.
Colin's standing with the CFBA tells the insurer that he works to a professional standard that is recognised and endorsed.
Behavioural recommendations should in the first instance be directed or referred via your Vets, to establish that a medical condition is not connected to your dogs behaviour.
I work with several veterinary practices within the North Dorset conurbation. If you think you might need my help with a behavioural issue, it is advised that prior to booking an appointment with me, that your dog is medically assessed by your veterinarian; some behavioural problems have a medical cause, albeit rarely.
Your vet may refer by:
Suggesting that you make contact with me directly along with a veterinary referral letter and or clinical history. (This is the most common procedure); Writing a letter with their opinion on the behaviour in question to me and to book an appointment on your behalf. Simply refer you verbally to myself or my website for information and or recommend that you make contact directly with me.
