 Behavior Modification
Caution:
Dog behavioral problems do not get better with time, Unless you are
actively working on changing them
i.e doing a behavior modification program. Trying to live with the
dog’s problems or ignoring them won’t make them go away.
The longer a dog is allowed to misbehave the longer and more
difficult it will be to change it.
I
specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of all forms of canine
behavioral problems, such as: Aggression, separation anxiety,
fearful behavior, specific phobias, destructive & excessive
behaviors.
My 4 step Behavior Modification Program
1. The owner(s) must complete an extensive, 12 page behavioral
history questionnaire, designed by Cornell University’s School of
Veterinary Medicine. The questionnaire is offered free of charge,
please contact me if you’d like to receive it.
2. If a medical/physical condition is suspected as being a
contributor to the problem behavior, further examination and testing
must be performed by the owner's veterinarian.
3. A behavior modification program designed specifically for your
dog.
A demonstration of how to avoid, reduce and correct your dog's
problem behavior.
You'll receive a customized written behavior modification program
for your dog's as well as a package of handouts about your dog's
behavior and ways to modify it.
4. Phone follow-ups for the first 3 months once every 10 days (
at no additional charge).
Important:
-
Have
realistic expectations- For the success of the program you'll have to invest some of your
time and energy.
-
No quick
fixes-
Unfortunately, there are no quick fixes or over night changes.
The longer the dog has displayed the behavior, the longer it
will take for you to change the behavior.
