Behavior Counseling

Our behavioral consultations look at the bigger picture of pet behavior. Our goal is to first determine if any medical issues are causing certain behaviors. If so, we work with you to get your pet the medical treatment he or she may need. Then, we'll work directly with you to ensure healthy behaviors and tools moving forward. Consistency and patience can certainly lead to positive behavior changes.
