Staff at the GSPCA are members of the APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers) and are able to offer behaviour advice and training for pet problems ranging from inappropriate urination and barking to aggression and lead walking. This service enables us to help people who may be considering giving their dog up for re-homing. It allows us to work with families and offer support and advice in an effort to prevent them having to part with their pets.

While we do not charge a set consultation fee we do ask that people make a minimum donation of £20 per hour to the Shelter. 

Before embarking on any training and behaviour modification programme you must ensure that your dog is in good health and has seen a veterinary surgeon.

Basic training and behaviour advice sheets:
