Behaviour Support For You & Your Dog
We can't wave a magic wand or offer quick fixes, but Sandra Raw at Beech Behaviour Centre is a Clinical Animal Behaviourist who can work with you and your family every step of the way. It is a partnership and we help you build long term behaviour change that works for you and your pet.
Choose one of our behaviour packages but if your pet has multiple issues and you are unsure of which package is best for you ​just ask us and we can create a behaviour package for you.
Sandra is an amazing behaviourist and a great person to work with. Sandra adapts her style to the owner and the needs of the dog. We first went to Sandra about Lola being anxious at coffee shops. But in the end Sandra helped change our lives far more than any of us could have imagined. Lola is much happier going to coffee shops, she no longer goes in a crate when left home, she is calm when we go out and is an all round happier dog. One of the fantastic things about Sandra is the interlock she has with the vets. Lola needed to have medication to help her journey and Sandra supported the discussions with the vet throughout. This was even more important when Lola came off the meds and had a behaviour set back. Sandra helped us navigate the new behaviour and worked with the vets again. Just like before, Sandra changed all of our lives for the better. Truly grateful for Sandra and will always recommend her to anyone - no matter how big or small the behaviour trouble.
Thank you for being so amazing Sandra!

Our Ethos
At Beech Behaviour we recognise that dogs and people learn best when using positive reinforcement; food, play, praise or a combination of these, as a reward. Evidence supports the use of reward-based methods for all canine and human training. If someone asks you to do something, you are much more likely to do it if there is a reward from doing it! ‘What gets rewarded gets repeated!' You never need to bully your dog into doing what you ask them to.
​
Dogs are like us they have feelings, emotions, good days, bad days, days when things are too much, days when they need to rest and it is up to us the owners, to understand them and their needs. We enable you the owner learn more how your animal’s genetics, previous experiences, their environment, any medical issues can impact on their emotional state and therefore the behaviour you see in your home.
​
Beech Behaviour promotes all interactions with our animals based on respect for their species, compassion and understanding of their communication and needs, and that reward-based learning works but most of all that they are part of your family.
​
We understand that your animal’s health and welfare and the relationship between you and your pet is paramount to them living with us harmoniously in our world. We work with your vet to recognise not just what is effective but what is in the best interests of your pet and produces the best long-term results.
Beech behaviour works with you and any behaviour modification plan will always be taught without the use of fear, intimidation, or pain to your pet.
