What’s Included:Book NowFood is a strong motivator for behavior- we humans have oodles of foods we use as rewards for our own hard work! How food is used is what’s important- making food either rewarding or aversive. The type, size, where offered (from a hand vs on the ground vs other), when, and how frequently (at first!) are vital components in helping strengthen or weaken a behavior.Even so, some animals may prefer other types of rewards: toys, play, access to a preferred or “safe” location, praise, and some even love petting or scratches! I’ll work with you to help assess what rewards your pet prefers and how to utilize those to your advantage.It depends! Some pets learn a new behavior pattern and continue that pattern for life (think of a cat hearing a food can opening). Other behavior patterns might require some life-long reinforcing (think maintaining an awesome recall with your dog).Each human-pet duo is unique. Some pets may “work for less” with one of their trusted humans, but may “only work” for food or toy rewards from the other human in their family. If that dynamic is ok for you, then that’s ok and it doesn’t need to change. If you’d like help assessing if or how to change that dynamic, let’s see what we can do together!Sometimes behavior changes are seen within a matter of days! Every pet, family, and behavior pattern is different. Some behaviors may improve dramatically through management interventions and a few easy changes to your daily or weekly life.Other behaviors, especially those rooted in significant fear or anxiety or that have been “practiced” for years may take longer to change. In these cases, partnering with a Board-Certified Veterinary Behaviorist or your primary care veterinarian may be most appropriate.We’ll assess what “success” may look like together. I find that the better we understand our pet’s problematic behaviors, better support their natural behaviors, and expand your behavioral “tool kit”, the more likely the initial goals for you and your pet may change. I’m happy to help navigate those changes with you!Proudly powered by WordPressCopyright @ 2025 Themepalace FSE, All Rights Reserved
