A Royal Veterinary College study has suggested dogs bought during the Covid pandemic experience high rates of behavioural problems including aggression and separation anxiety. Due to lockdown measures it was difficult for some owners to access training and socialising.

If you bought a dog during the Covid pandemic and have struggled with bad behaviour, we would like to hear from you. When did it start? What solutions have you tried? What worked and didn’t work for you?
