Let's Make A Difference
Together, we can work on diagnosing the behavior disorder and creating a behavior modification plan. We want to help you help your pet through whatever issue is causing distress. Some behavior problems stem from medical issues, so a thorough exam and bloodwork is required before or during your consult. Sometimes the behavior modification plan will involve medications to help get your pet out of the fear based fight or flight mindset and into a calm, learning mindset. This way the prescribed behavioral modification plan can be instituted with success.
Keep in mind that behavior modification is a long term process and requires patience and daily work on your part. There is no "magic pill" or quick fix for this. Many of these problems are a result of miscommunication and misunderstanding between pet and owner, issues with early puppy or kitten socialization or training (often before the owner even gets the pet), related to instincts due to breeding or genetics, or caused by an undiagnosed medical condition. But there is hope, so give us a call at (908) 704-6700 and schedule your behavior consult today!
