They're not giving you a hard time - they're having a hard time.
If your dog is reactive on walks, guarding food or toys, struggling when left alone, or showing signs of aggression, it can feel isolating and overwhelming. You may have tried everything you can think of, and nothing seems to stick.
You're not alone. These behaviours have a reason behind them, and with the right understanding and plan, things can improve.
Further follow-up sessions can be booked separately should you wish to continue with check-ins and plan adjustments.
What I can help with

Lunging, barking, or fixating on other dogs, people, or vehicles during walks.

Growling, snapping, or biting directed at people or other animals in specific situations.
Barking
Excessive or persistent barking - at the door, on walks, at sounds, or seemingly at nothing.
Destructive Behaviour
