Dog behaviour advice
At Battersea, we frequently see dogs with behaviour problems that have escalated to the point where their owners can no longer cope and so the dog is brought to us. With the right training, many of these problems could have been prevented. To help explain some common behaviour problems and guide owners in the right direction when it comes to training, Battersea has produced a number of factsheets on the subject of dog training.
