Cat Behavior Modification
Concerned about a behavior you're seeing in your cat?
Wondering how and where to get started? Look no further you’ve come to the right place.
Here are some of the unwanted behaviors we can tackle together...
Inappropriate elimination (#1 reason a cat is relinquished to a shelter)
Aggression toward people
Aggression toward other cats
Excessive vocalization
Destructive scratching behaviors
Compulsive behaviors
Fear related behaviors
By conducting a thorough analysis of your current situation we can identify the areas your cat struggles in and come up with a personalized training and management plan that improves the lives of you and your pet. Many behaviors that our animals display are natural but may have become maladaptive in their current environment because of learning and repeated exposure to a certain stimulus or situation. By looking at all the aspects of their environment and learning history we can create meaningful change through the use of scientifically supported methods.
Only current behavior modification methods based on positive reinforcement and learning theory will be used so you can be rest assured your cat is getting the highest quality of care.
Collaboration is at the heart of any comprehensive behavior plan. I strive to work closely with your veterinarian, pet sitters, daycare providers, and everyone in the family to assure your cat's needs and are well met and everyone is on the same page working in tandem.
Save yourself from the undo stress of trying to manage this alone. Fill out the prospective client information form and lets start tackling this together! From there we can schedule a remote consultation using the online platform Zoom. Technology has come a long way, giving us the ability to observe behavior in a more natural setting while also giving us a convenient way to provide instruction and a hassle free service to busy families.
With a fresh look at your cat's environment and a thorough history many of above problems can be managed and resolved.
