Does your pet act out in ways that are annoying, destructive or just unbecoming? Are you frustrated with certain negative behaviors? Are your companion’s bad habits causing a rift between you and making it difficult for you to embrace them as a part of the family? If you’re struggling with your pet’s behavior problems, you’re not alone! Village Gate Animal Hospital offers comprehensive behavioral counseling services to help manage and overcome negative pet behaviors once and for all.

Our team is highly skilled and experienced in animal behavior, and we know that the first step is to identify the root cause of the problem. Many negative behaviors are mere symptoms of a larger underlying problem, and the only way to eliminate the behavior is to address the real issue at hand. For instance, when your pet acts destructive or barks incessantly when you’re away from home, these behaviors could be signs that your companion is really suffering from separation anxiety. We’ll uncover what’s really causing the problem so we can address it and get it under control.

Whatever behavior you’re dealing with that is standing in the way of forming that all-important bond with your pet, we can help. We’ll work with you and your animal companion to get to the root of the problem so we can develop a plan to work toward a solution. Through patience, determination and proven behavior modification techniques, we’ll arm you with everything you need to overcome negative behaviors and develop your pet into the calm, balanced and well-behaved member of the family we know they’re capable of becoming.
