For many years the practice has offered both Puppy Preschool, Canine Teens and Canine Good Citizen Classes. These classes are always conducted by highly experienced trainers who have completed further study in animal behaviour and fear free handling techniques.
These courses have proven to be invaluable for the dogs and their owners, resulting in calmer, happier family members and a stronger human-animal bond. Your relationship with your dog is something that can bring immense joy and strengthening that bond and giving your pup or adolescent dog the best foundation for success contributes to ongoing happiness for many years.
All staff at Wingham & Valley Vets undergo fear-free accreditation to ensure our patients have the best possible experience at the hospital, to minimise their fear and anxiety.
Wingham and Valley Vets also offers individual training sessions to help develop a deeper understanding between you and your dog. These lessons, which can be scheduled at a time that suits you, cover whatever is most important to you at the time, and generally last for an hour. Our aim is to make living with your dog more enjoyable for all!
If you are experiencing more serious behaviour problems with your cat or dog, a Behavioural consultation can also be scheduled with our Behaviour Veterinarians. These are generally longer consultations and may cover such topics as fearfulness, dog aggression, resource guarding, urine spraying in cats, storm phobias and separation anxiety.
Please give us a call if you feel either of these services may be of benefit to you.
