Behaviour vs Training: What Does Your Dog Need?
​Training teaches your dog what to do.
Behaviour support helps your dog feel safe enough to do it.
​
If your dog is growling, lunging, barking, hiding, or showing signs of fear or frustration, the issue isn’t disobedience—it’s emotional overwhelm.
Behaviour challenges often come from fear, anxiety, past trauma, or unmet needs.
While training builds skills and structure, behaviour support goes deeper.
It’s about understanding the why behind your dog’s actions—and helping them feel calm, secure, and supported enough to make different choices.
It’s not about control.
It’s about understanding.
BEHAVIOUR: rebuilt
For dogs struggling with emotional challenges or reactive behaviour
​
Your dog may need behaviour support if they:
-
Bark, growl, lunge or snap at people, dogs or animals
-
Struggle with anxiety, panic, or fear in everyday life
-
Guard food, toys, beds, or even family members
-
Show compulsive behaviours (spinning, licking, chasing)
-
React badly when left alone, travelling, or at the vet
​
What we do:
Help your dog feel safer, calmer, and more secure through emotional support, behaviour plans, and positive reinforcement techniques. We complete your full rehab journey with you, from start to finish.
​
This is about finding the why behind the behaviour and helping to change the emotion behind it—not just stopping the behaviour from happening.
TRAINING: challenged
For dogs who need help learning everyday skills and good manners.
​
Your dog may need training support if they:
-
Pull on lead or ignore your recall
-
Jump up at people or rush through doors
-
Struggle to settle or wait calmly
-
Are a puppy learning their first cues and routines
​
What we do:
Teach you and your dog how to communicate effectively, build focus and confidence, and create everyday structure using kind, reward-based training, from start to finish.
​
This is about teaching your dog how to be a well behaved dog (who makes good choices) - not just an obedient dog (who needs to be told the right choice).
