Is unwanted behavior driving a wedge between you and your pet?

Whether it’s something as simple as a house training issue or a more serious concern, like aggression, unwanted pet behavior can be stressful for everyone. The experienced team at Fairfield Animal Hospital can help restore peace and balance back into your home.

Understanding the Problem

The key to overcoming animal behavior issues is to identify the real problem. First, we must rule out any potential medical causes. We take this important step, because many ailments have symptoms that can easily be mistaken for bad behavior. For instance, a cat that urinates outside the litter box may not be acting out, but actually be experiencing a health issue.

Once we’ve established a clean bill of health, the next step is pinpointing the behavior we’re dealing with. This is critical because in many cases, a larger problem may manifest itself in smaller ways. For example, destructive behavior when left alone may actually be a symptom of separation anxiety. We’ll work with you to determine precisely what the situation entails so we can address it most effectively.

Some of the behavior problems we can provide assistance with include:

  • House training
  • Excessive barking
  • Jumping
  • Digging
  • Biting
  • Destructive behavior
  • Aggression
  • Fear/anxiety

A Plan That Gets Results

With a correct diagnosis in hand, the final step involves developing a strategy for overcoming the behavior problem once and for all. There are a number of different ways we can approach a behavior issue. Whether it’s positive reinforcement, rewards, training or something else, we’ll work with you to develop a customized plan that gets results.

Don’t let unwanted behavior stand in the way of bonding with your pet. Give the experts at Fairfield Animal Hospital a call and let us help you enjoy the loving, peaceful relationship you both deserve.
