Behavioral Counseling
Is unwanted behavior making it difficult to bond with your pet?
Whether it’s something as simple as a house-training issue or a more serious concern, like aggression, unwanted pet behavior can be stressful for everyone. The experienced team at Northeastern Veterinary Care Center can help restore peace and balance back into your home.
Understanding the Problem
The key to overcoming animal behavior issues is identifying the problem. First, we must rule out any potential medical causes. Many ailments have symptoms that can easily be mistaken for bad behavior. For instance, a cat that eliminates outside the litter box may not be acting out, but actually be experiencing a health issue.
Once we’ve got a clean bill of health, the next step is pinpointing the exact behavior we’re dealing with. This is pivotal because in many cases, a bigger problem may manifest itself in smaller, less obvious ways. For example, destructive behavior when left alone could actually be a symptom of separation anxiety. We’ll work with you to determine precisely what the situation is so we can address it most effectively.
Some of the behavior problems we can assist with include:
- House training
- Excessive barking
- Jumping
- Digging
- Biting
- Destructive behavior
- Aggression
- Fear/anxiety
A Plan That Gets Results
With a proper diagnosis in hand, the last step is developing a strategy for overcoming the behavior issue once and for all. There are many ways we can approach a behavior issue. Whether it’s positive reinforcement, rewards, training or something else, we’ll work with you to customize a plan that gets results.
Don’t let unwanted behavior stand in the way of bonding with your pet. Contact Northeastern Veterinary Care Center and let us help you enjoy the loving, peaceful relationship you both deserve.
