BEHAVIORAL ASSISTANCE

Canine & Feline Behavioral Assistance

Behavior issues are a common reason for owners surrendering their pets. Even the best pet may exhibit some less than desirable behaviors. The ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) has a website created by a nationally recognized team of animal behaviorists - The Virtual Behaviorist. Follow this link below to find ideas and suggestions for handling most of the common issues pet owners experience - http://www.aspcabehavior.org/
