Helpline Questionnaire
Please e-mail: velma@velmaspetsastherapy.com.au and request a ‘Dog Behaviour Problems Helpline Questionnaire’. Please also state in a few paragraphs what problems you are experiencing. I will get back to you within a few days.
If the problem cannot be dealt with effectively with a distance phone or e-mail consultation, I will advise where and how you may best receive help. Many pet dog problems can be effectively managed with a distance consultation and if this is the case with you, I will return a questionnaire and details of my consultation fees - $110.00 (Australian) for a one hour phone consultation or e-mail consultation.
Training Tip 1: Dogs respond to their environment and the people in it. Therefore we don’t train the dog, we train the people in the dog’s life in ”dog management skills” to manage the dog’s behaviour. So, don’t blame the dog - get yourself trained!
Training Tip 2: Dogs learn faster when we make it fun. Use special food treats or the dog’s favourite toy as rewards when the dog does something good!
Training Tip 3: Dogs learn more slowly if they feel pressured. If they feel you getting annoyed or frustrated, they are prone to “freeze” or fear doing any thing in case they make you more unhappy with them. So learn some fun training skills and see just how quickly your dog can learn!
