Private consultations and veterinary behaviour referrals for dogs with complex, fearful, or reactive behaviour. Evidence-based. Ethical methods. Professional delivery.
Accredited & insured
Structured behaviour referrals for cases requiring clinical rigour, medication liaison, differential diagnosis of behaviour vs. medical cause, and detailed written reports.
One-to-one work with owners whose dogs need more than obedience training. Fear, reactivity, resource guarding, life transitions - approached calmly, without punishment, and with a clear plan.
Every case is different. If your dog's behaviour is affecting your household, the safest first step is a proper assessment.
Growling, snapping, or biting directed at family members or visitors.
Dog-on-dog or dog-on-other-animal incidents in or outside the home.
Persistent vocalisation triggered by sounds, people, or general arousal.
Barking, lunging, or spinning on walks when seeing triggers.
Guarding food, toys, spaces, or people.
Noise sensitivity, fireworks, generalised anxiety, and situational fear.
Distress when left alone — vocalising, destruction, or self-harm.
Sickness, drooling, or distress during car journeys.
Compulsive or persistent stool eating.
Mounting, marking, or sexualised behaviour that disrupts daily life.
Shy, withdrawn, or overly excitable temperaments affecting welfare.
Inappropriate urination or defecation indoors.
Raiding bins, stealing food, or eating non-food items.
Settling a rescue or rehomed dog into a new environment.
Preparing your dog for the arrival of a child.
Foundations, socialisation, and preventing future problems.

We were seriously considering rehoming after two bite incidents. Kristine gave us a clear plan, worked closely with our vet, and eight months on we have our dog back.
Direct, calm and genuinely expert. She never once made us feel judged, and the written report was extraordinary — our vet said it was the best they'd read.
Six weeks after our first visit, walks stopped being something I dreaded. That alone was worth every penny.
Kristine Graham is a clinical animal behaviourist working exclusively with dogs. Her practice sits at the intersection of veterinary medicine, learning theory, Core Pillars of Holistic Care and calm, practical training - because most serious behaviour problems live at that intersection too.
She accepts referrals from veterinary practices across the South East and takes private cases where owners are ready to commit to a proper plan. All work is ethical, evidence-led, and grounded in the current welfare science.
Kristine’s long standing passion for dogs started in her early childhood where she grown up surrounded by working farm dogs in her home country of Latvia; allowing her to learn great deal about dog behaviour, handling and training. Bringing those skills to the UK and specializing in canine behaviour and training, Kristine is able to incorporate excellent handling techniques and behaviour modification methods to reform most difficult canine behaviour problems.
Kristine has studied extensively with the prestigious ‘Cambridge Institute of Dog Behaviour and Training’ where her practical skills have been honed and combined with academic knowledge. She holds a Foundation Degree in Science (FdSc) in dog behavior and training - practical higher-education qualification focusing on canine science, learning theory, and professional handling skills. It bridges hands-on training techniques with academic study.
Kristine also has over 10 years of experience in breeding and supplying working German Shepherd dogs for police and other working forces. Kristine spent many years running dog training classes teaching obedience along with the ‘Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme’ but now focusses on behavior problem reformation.
Currently Kristine has 3 working German Shepherd dogs herself with keen participation in dog sports and sent detection work. She is committed, approachable and professional, striving to transform her client’s lives and relationships with their dogs.
