Fear & Confidence Rehabilitation Programme

Help your pet overcome anxiety and build confidence

£695.00

Does your dog struggle with fear, anxiety, or low confidence? Everyday situations — like walks, meeting new people, new environments, or sudden noises — can feel overwhelming for a sensitive dog.
This specialist programme has been designed exactly for dogs who need emotional support, not just obedience training.

Why Choose This Programme?

Fear-based behaviours are not “disobedience” or “bad manners”. They are stress responses — and they require patience, expert guidance, and a personalised plan based on behavioural science.

This programme is ideal for dogs who show:

  • Fear of strangers, dogs, or new environments

  • Noise sensitivity or startle responses

  • Nervousness at home or on walks

  • Low confidence in unfamiliar situations

  • Avoidance behaviours or “shutdown” moments

  • Mild panic when routines or environments change

If your dog often feels unsafe, this programme helps them rebuild emotional stability and confidence at their own pace.

Programme Goals

By the end of the programme, your dog will:

  • Show more confidence in daily routines

  • Feel safer and calmer around their triggers

This isn’t just training.
It’s emotional transformation.
