Behaviour Experts Recognised By Pet Insurance
As Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourists (CCAB, CAB), registered with the ABTC, FABC and APBC, we are recognised by pet insurance providers that provide behaviour cover. This means you may be able to reclaim all costs of behaviour support.
Behaviour Support for Dogs Experiencing Emotionally Driven or Multifactorial Challenges
As trusted dog behaviourists in Bristol with the highest level of recognised qualifications plus over 20 years lived experience, we can help with any dog behaviour concern. We take the time to understand each dog and their circumstances on a deeper level, allowing us to offer effective, practical support that is genuinely tailored to you and your dog.
Examples include separation anxiety, travel issues, fear issues, aggression to familiar people, handling issues and fighting between dogs from the same household. We help with all presentations of high emotion driven behaviours such as stress, frustration, fear and anxiety. If your dog is showing social sensitivities around unfamiliar people or dogs, including reactivity or aggression, you may prefer our practical reactivity package.
We take into account your dog’s history, health, and environment as well as your lifestyle and needs to adapt any plan to the individual. We help you gain a deep understanding of your dog alongside positive, practical skills to help regulate your dog’s emotions, improve their training and support them in reaching their fullest potential.
We are dog behaviourists supporting owners in person in Bristol and up to 1 hour away inc. 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.

“ 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!!!”

“ 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.”.

“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 😁”.
