Dog Behaviourist
At Zen K9 we cover all aspects of Dog Training and Dog behaviour. Unlike many other training facilities we also have a huge network of trainers we can draw on for specialist support. This can help with geography and travel issues, also with specialist problems and resolutions. Most of our behaviour cases stay in house, however whether its timing, boarding capacity, our own availability or the required methods for success we can provide you and your dog with a comprehensive behavioural assessment and plan that can be achieved with our recommended network of trainers.
Nutrition Advice
We advocate for the best for our pets and the foundation of this is nutrition. For us this means a species appropriate diet and a common sense approach to chemical treatments being given. We advise and also sell a range of:
Raw feeding (referral program currently, resales coming soon)
Natural treats made by ourselves to ensure optimum motivation, reward and nutrition. Nothing nasty added.
Flea/Tick/Worm prevention with natural methods.
