Dog Behavior Consultation

  • A Dog Behavior Consultation consists of taking a complete history, observation and evaluation of dog’s behaviors.
  • It concludes with suggestions for modifying the unwanted behaviors, preventing them from re-occurring and reinforcing good behaviors.
  • Evaluating a dog’s behavior is best accomplished at the dog owner’s home where the dog is most comfortable.
  • It is highly recommended that all family members responsible for the dog’s care be present for the Behavior Consultation.
  • The appointment usually lasts 2 hours or sometimes even longer based on the complexity of the situations being evaluated.
