DOES YOUR DOG HAVE ISSUES WITH OTHER DOGS?
Let me show you how to be proactive with your dog's issues with other dogs.
WHAT IS PROACTIVE PAWS©?
Proactive Paws© is a course for owners with dogs that display unwanted behaviour towards unfamiliar dogs taught by Katey Aldred Clinical Animal Behaviourist. This is suitable for over-excitement, frustration or aggressive displays.
Katey has extensive knowledge and skills within this area of behaviour. Proactive Paws is designed with the owner in mind to teach owners about the nuisances of behaviour, what drives unwanted behaviour and what maintains the unwanted behaviour.
You will learn about management and behaviour modification techniques to utilise with your dog. In addition, you will gain practical skills on how to apply the information you are given. You will be taught how to be proactive about the issue you are faced with rather than keep waiting for your dog to display unwanted behaviour and then try to deal with it afterwards.
Proactive Paws is for the singular issue of dog-to-dog problems. If your dog displays dog-to-dog issues plus another issue you need the full behaviour service. Not sure if you need training or behaviour help? Complete the 1-2-1 application form below
HOW IS PROACTIVE PAWS DELIVERED?
In-Person 6-Week Course
*New for 2024*
In May 2024 we collaborated with Holley from Ruff Dog Training to bring an integrated 6-week course.
We hope to run this course again some time in 2025.
Week one is a theory lesson to learn important elements you need to know. It is open to owners and paraprofessionals. Katey will be presenting on Behaviour Adjustment Training 3.0.
Weeks two - six will be about theory open to handler spaces (limited to 6) and spectator spaces (limited to 8). Booking will be offered via a waiting list system first.
One to One Programme
In-person sessions to teach the practical elements needed and support you through implementing changes. Enrollment in the online course for access to theory and notes throughout.
There are four programmes to choose from with different degrees of support.
You will learn theory about management and behaviour modification techniques to utilise with your dog. During the in-person sessions, you will be guided on how to apply the theory work and gain practical skills on how to apply the information. You will be guided in understanding the nuances of your dog's body language and how to predict and be proactive in helping your dog.

Who is it for?
Dogs with problematic behaviour directed at other dogs
Dogs nervous about other dogs
Dogs showing signs of aggression towards other dogs
Dogs that are uncontrollably excited towards other dogs
You may be experiencing some other type of behaviour directed at other dogs, Katey can still help.
Will it help?
Will my dog improve by doing this work? How long will it take to improve?
Prognosis and improvements depend on many factors. This includes the environment, the application of advice, consistency, the dog's health status, and the length of time you have been experiencing the issue.
