Cat behaviour problems

Zoe is fantastic and spotted solutions with our cat Otis straightaway. He’d bite calves in the morning, hurrying us along for breakfast and would swipe and latch onto feet and arms and bite and rake at us aggressively. He was chewing plastic and thin cables. We’d tried many approaches without success. Zoe stepped in, observed Otis with us at home and came up with a plan. His behaviour has gotten much better and this wouldn’t have happened with Zoe. She’s quick with feedback, a pleasure to deal with, genuinely looks for new solutions and is a brilliant animal behaviour specialist. Thank you, Zoe, without you our home wouldn’t be as harmonious!

Zoe has been really down to earth, approachable, and persistent – even at those times, I was ready to give up. I had a longstanding worry with my male cat urinating in the house and vocalising a lot.  I was overwhelmed. This was a complex situation.  The home assessment and report was great, and then lots of practical advice, written advice, follow up calls and solutions have followed.  The issue is much improved and we continue to talk about ways to make my cat’s experience and mine better. It is an affordable service.  I sincerely wish that I would have approached as soon as the behaviour began. Part of the process is my cat having a health assessment with the vet before her consultation, and this was a wonderful thing because he did have some health needs. Zoe really benefitted from understanding his physical health needs to give us the best advice. Zoe even helped us to learned clicker training!  My cat loves it. Deborah

Really thorough process – we felt you really took the time to understand us and the cats. We saw almost instant improvements with some of the strategies suggested. The second catflap on the first floor was a stroke of genius! Behaviour work is obviously ongoing because our cats at apparently extremely difficult individuals! But it’s super helpful being able to send updates on what’s happening and get feedback, so we can work out what’s working and what isn’t. It’s also been *so* reassuring to know that we’re on the right lines and have (usually) been doing the right things. Thank you, Sarah and Bert.

Zoe’s expertise and advice have been invaluable in helping our dog to settle at night due to separation anxiety and overcoming tricky interactions with our two cats. We have followed her advice along with great feedback and ongoing support from Zoe and our dog is now much improved! Highly recommended for tricky behavioural issues. Thank you, Richard and Maryilyn.

It has been a comfort knowing that if I needed any more advice, you were always there. Marley is doing amazingly compared to how he was, he still sprays on new items when I bring them into the house, but has not sprayed anywhere for many many months. Without your help and advice, I do believe the stress that Marley had continually caused me would have been too much for me to deal with. Many thanks once again, Elaine.

I must say the advice you gave me was excellent. I would without hesitation recommend you to anybody with a problem dog. The consultation process I found most useful in setting out the ground rules. I also found the literature to be most helpful for reference. Things have really improved with Riley on and off the lead – he actually comes back to recall! Although he has progressed a lot, he still has the odd chewing lapse. I don’t think Riley will ever be the ‘perfect dog’, but having him has become so much more pleasurable, thanks to your guidance. Best wishes, Paul.
