Behaviour Consultations
Professional Help and Support for You and Your Dog
We can help dogs and their owners with a broad range of behavioural concerns and unwanted behaviours. Helen is a Registered Clinical Animal Behaviourist and Advanced Canine Behaviourist, holding a BSc (Hons) in Applied Animal Behaviour, a Level 6 Diploma in Advanced Canine Behaviour and a Level 5 Diploma as a Dog Behaviour Practitioner.
Every dog is an individual. By understanding the causes behind behaviour, we can develop practical, force-free solutions that improve the lives of both dogs and their owners.
We Can Help With
- Fears and phobias
- Stress and anxiety
- Nervous behaviour around people or objects
- Difficulties with grooming or veterinary visits
- Obsessive or compulsive behaviours
- Resource guarding and hypersensitivity
- Recently developed behavioural concerns
- Family and multi-dog household issues
"Beneath every behaviour there is a feeling, and beneath each feeling there is a need. When we meet that need rather than focus on the behaviour, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom."

About Helen Green
Registered Clinical Animal Behaviourist
It is important to consult your veterinarian to rule out any underlying medical conditions before beginning behavioural work with your dog. Issues such as pain, illness, hearing loss, anxiety or discomfort can often influence behaviour.
Having experienced many of the challenges that can arise when living with companion dogs, Helen is passionate about force-free training methods, animal welfare, behaviour and sentience.
Her qualifications and experience include:
- BSc (Hons) Applied Animal Behaviour
- Level 6 Diploma in Advanced Canine Behaviour
- Level 5 Diploma as a Dog Behaviour Practitioner
- Full Clinical Animal Behaviourist with the APBC
- Experience within rescue and rehoming environments
- Working alongside veterinary professionals and behaviour teams
- Supporting puppy classes and behavioural development programmes
Every breed has its own characteristics, and every dog has its own unique experiences, genetics and environment. For this reason, behaviour plans must be tailored to the individual dog and family situation.
Careful history taking, observation and ongoing monitoring are key elements of achieving meaningful behavioural change.
Behaviour Consultation Process
Step 1 – Initial Enquiry
Following your enquiry, you will be asked to complete a veterinary consent form and a detailed behavioural questionnaire.
This information is extremely valuable as it allows Helen to gather a comprehensive history and assess the situation before your consultation.
Step 2 – Consultation
Once the completed documents have been received, your consultation will be arranged at a mutually convenient time.
Step 3 – Personalised Support Plan
Following the consultation, you will receive a written summary report together with recommendations and guidance tailored specifically to your dog and circumstances.
Where appropriate, Helen can also liaise directly with your veterinarian to ensure continuity of care and a collaborative approach.
This evidence-based process ensures you receive clear, practical and compassionate support throughout your dog's behavioural journey.
