Birmingham dog training and animal behaviour counselling
Welcome to our Birmingham clinic, located in the heart of the West Midlands. We provide top-notch behavioural support for dogs, cats, and parrots, addressing issues like anxiety, aggression, and socialisation to ensure your pets thrive.
We frequently meet dog owners at Cannon Hill Park, Sutton Park, and Lickey Hills for practical, hands-on training. Birmingham’s canal network also offers a unique setting for socialisation walks and behavioural exercises. In Highbury Park and Warley Woods, we often see vibrant ring-necked parakeets, which provide inspiration for our free-flying colourful parrot clients.
Our clinic supports the popular feline community in Kings Heath, providing specialised advice tailored to local cat owners. Serving Birmingham and areas such as Edgbaston, Moseley, Harborne, Solihull, West Bromwich, Dudley, Redditch, Walsall, Sandwell, and Bromsgrove, we understand the local environment and provide effective support. We also cover the Black Country region.
We work exclusively on vet referral, ensuring each case is thoroughly vetted and aligned with medical advice. We participate in community events and collaborate with local pet organisations to offer the best support to the Birmingham pet community. Whether you’re near the Bullring, Jewellery Quarter, or Cadbury World, our expert team is here to help.
Please note that if you are more than 20 miles away from our Birmingham Hub, then there is an additional £2/mi charge for the return journey.
