Description
Anyone who has had a companion animal knows that dogs and cats can be a lot of fun and can provide love and friendship. In fact, companion animals can improve your health! Several studies, including one at the State University of New York at Buffalo showed that companion animals reduce stress and high blood pressure. However, when a companion animal exhibits problem behaviors, the human-animal bond may break down and the companion animal may end up in a shelter, often euthanized. THE ROLE COMPANION ANIMAL BEHAVIOR CONSULTING Many people don’t realize that help is available and that many behavior problems can either be solved or managed. If your companion animal exhibits problem behaviors, first visit your veterinarian to make sure the behavior is not a result of medical problems. If medical problems are ruled out, seek the advice of a companion animal behavior consultant .
