Dog Behaviour Support - Bristol and Beyond

As a Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CCAB) with 15+ years of experience, I help with a full range of dog behaviour concerns; from separation anxiety and fear-based behaviour to all types of aggression, handling issues and fighting between dogs in the same household.

I take the time to understand each dog individually - their history, health, environment and the lifestyle of the people around them; before building a plan that is genuinely tailored to the individual and their circumstances. You'll leave sessions with a clear understanding of what's driving your dog's behaviour, the practical skills to do something about it and 3 full months of ask me anything, anytime coaching.

If your dog shows reactivity or aggression towards unfamiliar people or dogs, my dedicated reactivity package may be the better starting point.

I offer in-person dog behaviour support in Bristol and within approximately one hour, including Bath, Cardiff, Newport, Weston-super-Mare, Bridgwater, Wells, Glastonbury, Thornbury, Yate, Frome, Chippenham, the Mendips, the Forest of Dean, the Cotswolds and the Wye Valley. Online behaviour consultations are available worldwide.

Sezan came to help us with our two spaniels who weren’t getting on very well. I was at breaking point and thinking I would have to let one go and wondering how the hell you choose between your two dogs that you love equally.

Sezan gave us some strategies to put in place and continued to support us over a couple of months. The situation has been totally turned around and my girls are living very happily alongside each other.

I can’t thank Sezan enough for our outcome. I can now enjoy my dogs and they are enjoying each other. Thank you Ozdogs for being brilliant!!!

Natasha and Fig -

Sezan really helped us understand our dog better. She listened and asked in-depth questions to help piece everything together, including further investigations from vets to rule out all possible causes of her behavioural issues. We could tell she was considering the whole picture before drawing conclusions as to what was causing the issues, working with us to create solutions with positive reinforcement.
We would recommend to anyone wanting to understand and help their dog better.”.

Cane Corso with Travel Issues Resolved resting its head on the seat of a vehicle Bristol dog behaviourist

Nicola and Boss -

“Sezan’s helped me manage my big dog with equally big feelings! Anxious in general my Cane Corso can be really affected by bad experiences, one in particular was a traumatic experience of being attacked by a loose neighbours dog whilst getting into the car whilst he was young. This impacted him greatly and he panicked whilst in the car and eventually refused to get in at all. At nearly 60kg him panicking in the car became dangerous and when he refused to get in at all, vets visits were impossible and his quality of life was nowhere near what it should have been. Sezan got him in the car on the first visit!! With the tools and guidance Sezan gave me, along with a great deal of patience he now travels safely in the car. I know that he’ll never love travelling but Sezan helped to open his world up. Not only did she help him she also gave me confidence and a lot of advice. Helping with medication and also recommending other specialists. It was such a success my parents used her for their sassy terrier!Highly recommended if you need help 😁”.
