Behavioural Counselling

It's normal for pets to misbehave from time to time. But, does your pet continuously display disruptive behaviour for an extended period? If that's the case, then it may be beneficial to seek professional guidance. To book an appointment, please give us a call at 519-653-1003.

What is behavioural counselling in pets?

The purpose of behavioural counselling is to identify and change disruptive behaviours or unhealthy actions that can cause harm to themselves or to others. We will work with you to help manage, modify, and prevent any problem behaviours you may be experiencing with your furry friend.

How do I know if my pet requires behavioural counselling?

Some common behavioural issues in pets include:

• Hiding or whining
• Inappropriate urinations
• Pacing or separation anxiety
• Aggression
• Excessively scratching or licking of themselves

If you are unsure if your pet warrants counselling, then feel free to give us a call.

What happens during behavioural counselling?

When pets display outbursts of problematic behaviours or refuse to listen to you, it could either be an underlying medical or behavioural issue. Prior to the initial consult, we will get you to fill in our Behaviour Consultation Questionnaire so our team will have a better understanding of your pet's history and environment. Our team will demonstrate how to use positive reinforcement to get your pet to respond positively to commands. We will also provide you with a detailed program to follow.
