Welcome to HDC Behaviour

HDC Behaviour, run by experienced animal behaviour consultant Susan Gammage, provides a compassionate, scientific-based service to help owners who have problems with horse behaviour, dog behaviour or cat behaviour.
Consultations involve providing information of horse, dog or cat behaviour to clients so they can gain knowledge of their companion animal’s behaviour, and gain an understanding of the problem that is causing concern for both the owner and animal.
Knowledge of your horse, dog, or cat’s normal behaviour will help with understanding behaviour problems and why they might arise.
An individual Behaviour Modification Programme is discussed with each owner to help them resolve their horse, dog, cat’s behaviour problem with the assistance of a qualified behaviourist.
