Hi, I'm Dr. Lidija. Behavioral therapy is more and more common in veterinary medicine. When does your pet need professional behavioral therapy? Well, first we need to make sure that the pet is absolutely healthy and that there isn't a medical issue causing their behavior to change. Another thing is we want to make sure we're doing behavioral therapy ourselves from the very beginning. And that goes from basic training. So that then you can rely on your pet's behavior and recognize any changes in their usual self and know when something is abnormal. If everything is okay medically and the behavior is still continuing, then it's time to get someone professional involved in evaluating the situation.
