Behavior Consults for Dogs & Cats

During a behavior consult, Mary will take a detailed history so that an accurate assessment can be made. She'll identify contributing factors and explain why your pet is exhibiting an unwanted behavior. Sessions result in a customized program, working knowledge of how to implement a training plan, and a written assessment sent to your veterinarian.

Behavior Modification

Mary can help you with a number of your pet's issues using positive training methods. Her scientific approach to training often leads to immediate change in behavior.

  • Aggression towards people or animals in public
  • Aggression towards family, visitors, or other pets
  • House training and litter box problems
  • Barking, destruction, and escape
  • Home alone & separation problems
  • Fears, phobias, and anxiety
  • Other problem behaviors

Virtual Consults

Pets act differently when a stranger enters their home which can impede training, even when it's a behaviorist! Virtual consults are just as effective as in-person, especially when dealing with cats, dogs, or people who can't easily leave home. I've seen virtual clients all across the US, Europe, and Africa. The results speak for themselves! Testimonials for virtual consults
