Dog Training & Behaviour by
BARKER STREET PET SERVICES™
"We Love Your Pets Like You Do"
Here at Barker Street Pet Services, our small team of Canine Mental Health Professionals offer dog training and behaviour support for you and your dog. We ensure a healthy, happy relationship between you and your companion by the use of force free, science led dog training and behaviour support. Our trainers are fully qualified, experienced and educated in canine mental health so you can trust that your dog is in the absolute best hands.
Vikki, our Canine Behaviour Advisor, is a veterinary nurse and has spent 25 years working with dogs and 8 years studying canine behaviour at university; her highest qualification being a BSc (Hons) in Canine Behaviour Management.
Crystal, our Dog Trainer and Doctor of Evolutionary Biology, has years of hands on experience training dogs, as well as currently working towards her Master's in Clinical Animal Behaviour.
A training subject falls into the behavioural category when your dog exhibits an unwanted behaviour which is powered by emotion. This could be anything such as reactivity, separation anxiety, resource guarding, fear, anxiety and frustration. Only a behaviourist is qualified and experienced enough to work with these issues and our Canine Behaviour Advisor will establish your dog's needs, develop a tailored behaviour modification plan and guide you through the whole process. We will help bring your dog back to their best self by, essentially, changing the way that they think about a situation and therefore changing your dog's behaviour from the source of their worries. Our behaviour consultations include expert and tailored advice, a written behaviour modification report and ongoing support whenever you need it. Remember, with every enquiry you are learning from the knowledge, experience and (many) years of dog behaviour studies that our fully qualified and accomplished canine Behaviour Advisor has. So the aim is to only see you once!
