Veterinary ChecksIt is important to note that behavioural problems can be caused by a variety of medical conditions. It is therefore important that your veterinary surgeon investigate and rule out any medical or clinical reasons for a behavioural problem, before starting behavioural therapy. |
Once your veterinary surgeon is happy that the problem is not clinical, he/she can then refer your dog to me for a behavioural evaluation. A referral should either be on the attached referral form, or by a letter detailing the problem and any relevant clinical history. You can then telephone me to make an appointment. If you are unsure if your dog's problem is a behavioural or training issue, then please contact me to discuss. |
