We understand the importance of working as part of a veterinary led team as many behaviour problems have medical ailments.
We also feel it’s important to support clients who’s dog have medical problems, from a behavioural perspective, to ensue their behaviour doesn’t exacerbate during treatment or to provide post surgical behavioural care to help clients to ‘keep their dogs calm’ and relaxed during their recover and help them with any signs of aggression due to post surgical pain.
