Dog Behaviour

Welcome to Chorley Canine Solutions, for all your Dog Behaviour needs in Chorley, Lancashire.

At Chorley Canine Solutions, we know that every dog is unique, with their personality, habits, and needs. Just like us, dogs can experience challenges that require a bit of extra understanding and guidance. Whether your dog is dealing with:

• Separation anxiety
• Reactivity towards other dogs or strangers outside of the home.
• Aggression around stolen objects or food bowls
• Fearful of noises/traffic

We provide the guidance and knowledge to help you and your dog achieve a more peaceful and harmonious life.

Why Choose Chorley Canine Solutions?

Choosing the right behaviourist for your dog is a deeply personal decision. You want someone who not only understands dogs but also respects the bond you share with your pet. As a qualified behaviourist with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers – Behaviourist (IMDTB) and a foundation degree in Canine Studies at Myerscough College (FdSc), I, Nicky, bring both professional knowledge and a deep passion for dogs to every session.

But it is not just about qualifications. Whether you are someone who values a methodical, step-by-step approach, or you prefer a more intuitive and flexible style, I tailor my methods to suit both you and your dog’s personalities. I believe that every dog deserves a compassionate, patient approach that protects their personalities, and every owner deserves to feel supported through the process.

With years of experience working with a wide range of breeds and behavioural challenges, I have seen firsthand how the right combination of training techniques and emotional support can transform a dog’s behaviour and strengthen the bond between you and your companion.

Behaviour Plans

The Behaviour Modification Program is designed to offer you the flexibility and support you need to address a wide range of issues, including dog-to-dog reactivity, separation anxiety, resource guarding, and reactivity to strangers outside the home. Whether you are a working professional, a busy parent, or simply someone with a packed schedule, I aim to accommodate your needs, making the process as stress-free and accessible as possible.

No Long-Term Contracts, Total Flexibility

The program is designed to fit your needs. Most clients choose to work with me for about three months, but you have the freedom to continue for as long or as little as you wish. Whether you need ongoing support or just a few months of guidance, our flexible monthly plans allow you to decide what works best for you and your dog.

Convenience matters when it comes to dog training. I understand that life is busy, which is why I offer flexible session times. Weekday afternoons, early evenings, and Saturdays, so you can find a time that works best for you and your family.

What You Get with Our Monthly Plans

• Personalised Sessions: Every month, you will receive two one-on-one sessions tailored specifically to the behaviour issues your dog is facing. We work closely with you to create a plan that is as unique as your dog. The sessions take place at your home or a previously agreed location so your dog can learn new skills in their environment.
• Ongoing Support: You are never alone on this journey. Between sessions, you have direct access to me via email, phone, or messaging. I am here to answer your questions, provide guidance, and ensure you feel supported at all times.
• Expertise Backed by Experience: We bring not just professional knowledge but also personal experience to the table. Having managed similar behaviour challenges with my dog, I understand what works.
  Additional Services

Behavioural issues are just one piece of the puzzle. Many dogs also struggle with training challenges like pulling on the lead or unreliable recall. At Chorley Canine Solutions, I can integrate these training needs into your behaviour modification plan or offer them as standalone sessions, depending on your specific requirements.
