Prolonged behaviour problems can be harder to change and create a good deal of stress, loss of rapport and respect between you and your beloved dog.

Dog Behaviour Problems Advice
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 and this advice is free. 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 which are from $55.00 (Australian).

Be patient with your beloved canine. Don’t complain - train!
