Question 1

How does your approach to behaviour support work?

Accepted Answer

You'll receive holistic, approachable and non-judgemental support, with an emphasis on the emotional welfare of your dog. The support plan is created to help you move forward, manage behaviour and work towards positive change using ethical and reward-based methods.

Question 2

Do I need a vet referral?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work on referral and liaise directly with your vet to ensure there are no medical or physiological factors contributing to the behavioural issue. Even issues you may think are "low level" such as skin problems can factor in to behavioural changes, and will require a vet to help treat or manage.

Question 3

How does the consultation process work?

Accepted Answer

The consultation will take place at your home (or in some cases via zoom call) and last up to two hours. Here we will go through any questions we have for you after a thorough review of your behaviour questionnaire, and we may take some further history details which may be easier for you to expand on in person, followed by an explanation of the behaviour and advice on management techniques you can implement straight away.Within 7-10 days you will receive your full, extensive consultation report which will include details of what was covered during the consultation including an explanation of your dog's behaviour, a behaviour modification or "treatment plan" and training tips to guide you along the way.This report and a short summary of what has been covered will be sent onto your referring vet, and we will liaise with them regarding any physiological or medical aspects which might have been discussed during the consultation.We will then arrange your first follow up 2-4 weeks post-consultation where we can check in with your dog's progress and manage any changes in behaviour.​ Depending on your package chosen, sessions will then continue following this to implement practical exercises for as long as you need support.

Question 4

What areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

Evolve Canine offers behaviour support in York and the surrounding area, including Pocklington, Stamford Bridge, Market Weighton, Malton, Beverley, Wetwang and everywhere in between. If you are unsure whether your location is covered, it is best to get in touch first.

Question 5

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

It's difficult to predict how many sessions you and your dog will need. This will depend on factors such as the severity of the behaviour, how long it has been happening for, how much time you can dedicate to training and your own personal situation. You may see improvements by the end of the initial package (3 sessions), but more complex behaviours may take longer.

“Working with Charlotte has made such a difference for both me and Cooper. She's helped me understand him so much better and has always been supportive, realistic and reassuring throughout our separation anxiety journey. I feel so much more confident in how to help Cooper because of her!"
