If your pet’s personality changes suddenly (aggression, hiding, accidents in the house, restlessness), a trip to the veterinarian—not a trainer—should be your first stop. The solution may be a pill for pain, not a new obedience command.
Animal behavior and veterinary science are two sides of the same coin. As we continue to peel back the layers of animal consciousness, the veterinary profession will continue to move toward a more holistic, "whole-animal" approach. By treating the mind as carefully as we treat the body, we ensure a higher quality of life for the creatures that share our world.
In a professional context, this "feature" represents a specialized career path that bridges the gap between medical diagnosis and behavioral modification.
Many clients feel shame or guilt about their pet’s behavior. Use non-judgmental language.
