Pet Behavioral Counseling
Pet behavioral counseling is a specialized service from Carr Veterinary Hospital in Oak Ridge, NC, aimed at helping you understand, manage, and address behavioral issues that your companions may experience.
Identifying Behavioral Issues
Pet behavioral counseling begins by identifying any underlying behavioral issues that your pet may be experiencing. These issues can manifest in various ways, including aggression, anxiety, excessive barking, destructive behavior, inappropriate elimination, and phobias. Our veterinarians take the time to conduct a thorough assessment of your pet’s behavior to determine the root cause of their issues.
Customized Behavior Modification Plans
Once the underlying behavioral issues have been identified, our team develops a customized behavior modification plan tailored to your pet’s specific needs. This plan may include techniques such as positive reinforcement training, desensitization, counterconditioning, environmental modifications, and management strategies.
