Transform your Dog's Behaviour
 I’m Craig Avery, Scottish Dog Behaviourist. I help owners understand what’s behind their dog’s behaviour and make practical changes that improve everyday life together. From stressful walks to difficulties at home, we’ll work through what’s happening and find a way forward for you and your dog.
One to One Behavioural Support
Practical help for you and your dog, in your home and local area.
I’ll work with you to understand what’s behind the behaviour, identify what needs to change and build a plan that fits your everyday life.
You’ll learn how to help your dog and keep making progress between sessions.
 Every breed, Every stage of life
Walks becoming stressful? Barking taking over at home? Worried about your dog’s reactivity?
I work with owners facing everything from everyday training difficulties to aggression, anxiety and more complex behavioural challenges.
Whatever your dog’s breed, age or history, we’ll work towards a calmer, more enjoyable life together.
Online learning with BETTERDOG
Practical programmes you can work through at home, wherever you live.
I’ve worked with Jo-Rosie Haffenden and learned a great deal from her. As a recognised BETTERDOG practitioner, I’m proud to recommend her courses alongside my own behavioural work.

Understanding your dog comes first
When your dog’s behaviour becomes difficult, it’s easy to focus on what you want them to stop doing. I start by looking at why it’s happening and what your dog needs to cope better.
Together, we’ll look at their daily routine, environment and experiences, then use practical, reward-based training to help them learn.
I’ll explain what we’re doing and why, so you feel confident putting it into practice. We’ll build on small wins, at a pace your dog can manage, with changes that fit your everyday life.
The aim is a dog you understand better, and a life together you can both enjoy.
Enjoy life with your dog again
When walks feel stressful or you’re constantly managing what your dog might do next, it can take the enjoyment out of having a dog.
I want to help you get that enjoyment back. To feel more confident on walks, more relaxed at home and better equipped to handle the difficult moments.
You don’t need to know all the answers before we start. My job is to help you understand your dog and give you practical guidance you can use every day.
We’ll work towards the things that matter to you, whether that’s having visitors over, enjoying a walk or simply feeling more at ease together.
Understand the barking.
