Gruffers Club FAQs
Assessments, suitability and practical details for your sessions.
Before you book
Which existing behaviour assessments do you accept?
Clients assessed through Pet Potential, Companion Minds, Juvo Animal Behaviour or the University of Lincoln Animal Behaviour Clinic are welcome to contact us. Send a copy of the behaviour report before attending.
What if we work with another trainer or behaviourist?
You can join where their techniques are compatible with the Pet Behaviour Company’s approach. We’ll need a copy of the report and to confirm suitability first.
What if my dog hasn’t had an assessment?
Contact the team to discuss a behaviour consultation before booking a club session.
Sessions & support
Where do we train and what should I wear?
Sessions usually take place outside at the village hall. Dress for the weather and check the booking details for the session time.
Are sessions included with Intensive behaviour support?
Suitable group sessions are included during the two-month Intensive support period. Ask the team which arrangement applies to your dog before paying for a place.
