Introduction to Animal Behavior Counseling
 Recent studies indicate the value of living with companion animals, such as lowering blood pressure and easing depression. In return, animals thrive on the love and attention they receive from us. Our goal is to enhance this bond. By focussing on positive reinforcement rather than punishment, our programs allow you to teach your pet appropriate behavior in a positive, upbeat way. Both you and your pet benefit from this approach, as the human-animal bond is strengthened.
Behavior problems of companion animals are solved by using practical, humane behavior modification techniques based on sound animal learning principles. Put simply, animals respond well to positive reinforcement, allowing us to change undesirable behaviors into desirable behaviors. We feel animals deserve our respect; therefore we suggest gentle treatment methods along with appropriate techniques. This way, much can be accomplished without breaking the animal's spirit, but instead improving trust and better communication.
