The animal psychologist: A behavioral veterinarian

Its mission: to modify the behavior of the beast when it is in pain, dangerous or harmful to a harmonious relationship with the entourage. He works with the animal and / or the master to get him to act differently with his companion.

And the first "sitting" with my pet, how is it going?

We go to the office for the first time with Rantanplan, unless the vet comes to his house to observe him in his environment. We expose our problems; better, we bring videos of the animal in daily situation. All these elements will inform the expert.

Sometimes a simple education board can put an end to the problem: a dog who in his yard, for example, barks after each passing? He runs away in boredom. Get it out!

And concretely, what results on the behavior of my animal?

The psychologist leads us to be the therapist of our animal. Between sessions, we "work" to recondition it. Rantanplan pursues cyclists and joggers? When he gets ready to leap over people, we look at him, force him to look at us, and every time he has the right attitude we reward him. Little by little, the aggressive reflex disappears. In some cases, veto combines therapy with drugs (antidepressants, sedatives).
