Comprehensive behaviour consultations for dogs, cats, and horses
Looking at the whole picture
Behaviour problems rarely have one simple cause. Health, stress, environment and past experiences all matter.
We assess your animal as an individual and collaborate with your vet to identify and address any medical factors, where present. We then create a clear, practical, science-based plan designed to support meaningful, lasting change.
Why rely on us?
Veterinary Expertise
With training in both veterinary medicine and behaviour, we work in partnership with your primary care vet to ensure care is coordinated and evidence-based. Clear communication and detailed reports support a joined-up approach to your pet’s welfare.
Tailored Action Plans
There is no one-size-fits-all fix. You will receive a fully customised, step-by-step behaviour modification strategy designed specifically for your companion.
Evidence-Based Methods
We don't rely on guesswork. Our solutions are rooted in the latest veterinary science and behavioural medicine, ensuring you are using safe, highly effective techniques.
Stress-Free Remote Consults
Initial consultations are held remotely to discuss your concerns without distraction and gather a thorough behavioural and medical history.
In-Person Support
If needed, home or yard visits for dogs and horses can be arranged following the initial assessment to support practical work. These are generally included within the consultation fee for appointments within and around Lincoln.
Ongoing Support
True behavioural change is a journey. We offer structured follow-up sessions to track progress, troubleshoot new challenges, and adapt your plan as necessary

"Lauren did a fantastic job providing remote advice regarding an unpredictable, aggressive horse. With her help we came up with a plan to rule out pain as well as a basic shaping plan to help build the horses trust/reduce aggressive tendancies. Extremely professional and approachable."

For all breeds of dogs, most dog kennels require the animal to be at least 12 to 17 weeks (4 months) old. The reason for this is because all certified kennels require incoming puppies to have had their first round of adult shots at 12 weeks, followed by the second round at about 16 weeks.
