Behavioural Solutions
This is Dr. Jeff Grognet.
I am a veterinarian and I have a deep interest in behaviour. I can offer two solutions for any behavioural problem that you are having with your dog (or cat).
One is the in-person (physically or through Zoom) consultation. The other is a series of webinars that create a well-rounded course where you can learn how to solve it yourself. You must be into dogs and have a basic obedience course on board to have success with this program.
If you purchase a consultation, you get the full course anyway. I often refer to it and use it for education after the consultation.
Behavioural Consultation
This is 90 minute personalized consultation with Dr. Jeff Grognet, either in-person (Parksville area) or through Zoom. You will first understand why your dog acts the way he does, and then get a plan for dealing with any behavior issue. Includes two follow-up Zoom meetings up to 20 minutes each.
Some of the issues I can deal with are:
- Reactivity
- Phobias
- Panic Disorder
- Social Anxiety Disorder
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
- Trauma or Stress Injuries
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder
- Aggression
I’ve included the Premium Edition (see below) which includes the complete Behavior Solutions Course. I refer to these webinars for education after the consultation. As well, there is an At-Home Obedience Course that you can use to learn skills or sharpen the ones you already have. You have access as long as you need so that you can work on other issues that may arise.
This includes the consultation, follow-up, and the behavior course as long as you need it. If you need any further information, send an email to Dr. Grognet.
The Premium Edition
Includes all the components in the Complete Edition. Also, the Complete Behavior Solutions Course.
Do you already have a trained dog, but you have a behavior issue that is holding back your trust in your dog? This is all you need to fix your dog's behavior issues at home.
The Behavior Solutions Course
This course has 10 lessons and each one begins with foundation learning. The first webinar helps you understand why your dog is displaying these behaviors. The next part shows you how to change your dog’s response.
This allows you to fast forward your work with your dog.
This is not based on outdated dominance theories and using equipment to harm dogs. It is based on widely used psychology principles clinical practitioners use in people today.
Let’s do a quick review:
