Welcome to WellBehave. This site is aimed at both pet owners and pet Professionals giving up to-date advice for the welfare of your pet. Our goal is to provide you with useful information about our behaviour services making it easier to provide you with all the help and support needed to change the unwanted nature of your pets behaviour.
Whilst we all hope to have a happy and mutually fulfilling relationship with our pets things can go wrong. This may be because of a misunderstanding of a pets natural behaviour and can lead to a breakdown of the relationship - which invariably causes stress and unhappiness for both the pet and the owner. Recent studies have shown that one of the primary reasons an animal is left at a shelter, such as the RSPCA, is due to unwanted behaviour. It is also one of the more common reasons animals are euthanized.
Fortunately we can help you to understand these problems and give you adequate tools to deal with or manage the situation. All consultations, either a home visit, at the veterinary surgery or over the telephone are dealt with individually with a personalized behaviour modification programme to fit your lifestyle and suit your way of life.
At WellBehave we look forward to helping and supporting you whilst your companion animal is learning to behave.

Professor John Bradshaw, a scientist – founder and director of the Anthrozoology Institute at the University of Bristol – who has devoted the last 25 years to studying the domestic dog and has just written the most fantastic book, In Defence of the Dog, which is already on US bestseller lists and is about to become required reading for dog lovers everywhere
Bradshaw is not interested in canine hearsay. He does not peddle opinions. His style is tolerant, clear and benign and he is interested only in what science can support.

Aggression in Dogs Explained
Aggression is a natural part of canine behaviour, although aggression may not be appropriate in the domestic setting. The term aggression can be used to describe any change of behaviours related to a contest or conflict usually between two individuals, for example, dog to dog or dog to human. Any dog, regardless of its rank(status) to others may express these behaviours if the need of the individual is great enough.
Most forms of aggression are based on emotional motivation, such as fear and therefore it is far more useful to see the act of aggression as a natural reactive behaviour. This means the dog will use aggression as a strategy when there are no rules in place to stop him, for example restraint or lack of space.

Physical punishment should never be used to prevent aggression in a dog, as it tends to reinforce it. Research into aggression in dogs has shown that dogs quickly learn to meet incoming aggression with MORE aggression. This inevitably produces more physical punishment and so a cycle of aggression and aggressive behaviour is promoted.
It is necessary to differentiate between motivations and emotions which initiate and maintain aggressive behaviour, therefore a full behaviour case study and home visit behaviour consultation is strongly recommended.
