At K9 Playtime Academy Chrisanne has a passion for working with dogs who are experiencing behavioural difficulties. Often this can be a very stressful time for both owners and dogs and we look at helping and guiding both ends of the lead. 

Through our behavioural consults, I will offer simple, kind and effective advice designed to approach behavioural issues and obtain results that last. 

At K9 Playtime Academy I have developed our unique Space Cadet programme (for dogs in need of extra space – you will not find any growly or grumpy dog label here ). Through the programme I will guide you and your dog through each step of the process making your dog feel more comfortable with the areas of difficulty they are facing and help you make life less stressful by helping you take back control and teach you the skills to cope with real-life challenging situations.

Behavioural Qualifications

Chrisanne has a wealth of knowledge and experience with a Level 5 OCN qualification in Understanding and Working with Canine Behaviour – Analysis & Application, and is also an assessor, instructor and presenter for The Institute of Modern Dog Trainers – the UK’s leading dog training, education and accreditation body. Chrisanne is also a distinction member of the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers and Behaviourists. In addition to this Chrisanne works closely with the IMDT founder Steve Mann- the Author of Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy -  on a range of projects. 

The initial behaviour consult is a three-part process with a mixture of theory and practical elements through the use of training setups. 

Initially I will send through a pre-consultation questionnaire for you to fill in and send back prior to the consultation date. We will then carry out a one-hour telephone interview to discuss your dog’s individual needs in more detail, identifying your dog’s behavioural history and what your dog's specific requirements are, and begin to put a training plan of action in place.

Following this, we will then meet up for a practical session where I then put together an individualised,  tailor-made behaviour plan for you and your dog breaking down the required exercises into an easy to follow step by step written guide which we would work through together.  This is then followed up with a second follow-up practical session.

Also included are phone and email support in between sessions. Each section of the consult process is £95.
