Behavioural Counselling

Professional Help for Pet Behaviour Problems—Rooted in Medical and Behavioural Expertise

We offer counseling for your pet's problem behaviors. Pet behavioural problems are the number one reason animals are relinquished from their home. Many of these problems are not a simple training issue and may go beyond the scope of the local obedience class. Behaviour problems can be very troubling and owners can feel powerless when their attempts to intervene fail to resolve these problems. If your pet is exhibiting signs such as aggression, fear, anxiety, phobias, house soiling or other strange behaviors, please consult your veterinarian.

Why a veterinary behaviorist?

It is important to understand that medical problems can contribute to behavioural problems in an animal. A variety of diseases and pain can cause or contribute to a variety of behavioural changes such as house soiling, irritability and aggression, anxiety and compulsive behaviors. A veterinary behaviorist has advanced training in the field of animal behavior and psychology, and able to formulate both a medical and behavioural treatment plan aimed specifically at your pet's individual problem(s).

If you believe you have a dog or cat behavioural case, please see your veterinarian for further information.
