Working on a reward basis rather than using any form of punishment, Bensons Dog Psychologists work with owners to deal with canine behavioural problems. They don’t offer general training, but instead deal with specific problems such as chewing and other destructive behaviour, messing in the house, aggression, and so on. They visit you at home first to observe the dog in its own environment, and assess it. First they try to determine the cause of the behaviour and what triggers it, and then armed with this information they can work out ways of correcting the problem. If you’re thinking of getting a dog, Bensons also offer personalised consultations on what type of dog would best suit you and your lifestyle. This is the kind of information you can research yourself, particularly if you have access to the internet — but if you don’t, or you want an expert opinion, Bensons can provide that.
