About De Fijne Hond

• Excessive barking or hyperactive behaviour

• Asking for and getting attention
• Sit, stand, lie down, down, leave it and no
• Staying in place
• Coming when called
• Walking without pulling and walking to heel
• Playing and basic retrieving

Approach

After you get in touch, you receive an intake form. For behaviour therapy, an appointment takes place at home; the treatment plan is sent within a week. After the consultation, you can contact the therapist with questions for up to four months.

About the support

The support is personal, respectful and tailored, and is based on insights into dogs’ emotions, communication and stress. The owner also trains between and after consultations and keeps the therapist updated on progress.
