Gnashurr Club

Like the real world, but less random!

 The Gnashurr Club offers support to owners of "reactive" dogs that show aggressive or noisy behaviour directed at other dogs - whatever their motivation - and to give them the opportunity to work with and around other dogs under safe and controlled conditions. 

Suitability

These sessions are not suitable for every dog, and prior to attending each dog will need to have had an assessment first.

If you have already had a behavioural assessment through Pet Potential, Companion Minds, Juvo Animal Behaviour,  or the University of Lincoln Animal Behaviour Clinic then you are welcome to join and will be asked to provide a copy of the behaviour report prior to attending.  

Dogs undergoing training with other behaviourists or trainers are welcome to join us so long as the techniques used are compatible with the ethos and techniques of The Pet Behaviour Company and a copy of the report can be forwarded to us.

If your dog has not had a behavioural assessment but you feel they would benefit from these sessions then please contact us to discuss arranging a behaviour consultation. 

How long and how often are the classes?

Classes are typically held on a Saturday or Sunday for up to 2 hours at a time (e.g. 10am-12noon/11am-1pm).
We typically run up to 2 sessions a month.

 What is covered?

With expert and qualified guidance, you have the opportunity to practice and review the skills needed to work your dog around other people and dogs. The aim is for you to learn how to manage and change your dog's behaviour within the constraints of normal exercise routines out in the 'Real World'.  

All people attending work together in a relaxed and supportive environment to help each other.
