COVID-19 info: Our rehoming centres are currently closed to the public but you can still adopt some of our dogs: take a look at their profiles to see which ones. We’ve set up a new rehoming process which includes social distancing measures to help keep staff and adopters safe.
As every dog lover knows, each dog is a unique individual, with their own quirks, delights and challenges! Behaviours develop through a combination of multiple elements including breed, individual personality, medical issues and prior experiences. So understanding why an individual dog develops a problem behaviour can be like a detective mystery - identifying all the different elements which tell his or her story. In our rehoming centres we are committed to caring for and rehabilitating dogs which have behaviour problems. In Dogs Trust Dog School our mission is to work with owners to prevent problems developing in the first place!

A behaviour problem is really any behaviour shown by a dog that people find a problem! And because people vary how much they tolerate different behaviours in their dogs, 'problems' can range from jumping up to serious aggression.
