Behavior

Sad Pug

When a pet has a behavior problem, the consequences are far-reaching. Behavior problems threaten the bond you have with your pet by damaging the loving relationship that should exist between you. In extreme situations, a serious behavior problem can lead to euthanasia or surrendering a pet to a shelter.

Pets can have a wide variety of behavioral issues, from simple housetraining problems to severe anxiety and aggression issues.  Although behavior problems can result from emotional trauma or physical mistreatment, in many cases the problem can arise from simple misunderstandings or learned associations that were inadvertently established during training. In addition, several medical conditions can manifest in ways that mimic behavior problems.

Let us help you understand what the cause of your pet’s “bad” behavior is, and find the proper path to an improved relationship.  Our goals are to help pets and their owners live together comfortably and safely, and to help restore the bond between pets and their families.
