ABOUT BEHAVIOR CONSULTATIONS:
Dr. Rosenbloom’s Behavior Consultations involve looking at the patient’s experiences and history, genetic predispositions, the health of the patient, the environment and context, and setting realistic expectations. Treatment of behavior issues are typically broken down into: How can we Manage the problem? How can we Modify the Behavior of both humans and pets? Would the patient benefit from Medication? And Monitoring so we can adjust our behavior treatment plan as needed for the patient.
· Our goals include:
o Safety First: for Humans and Pets
o Understanding the approach of positive reinforcement behavior modification
o Nurturing the human-animal bond to build trust, awareness, and care between owner and pet
o Teaching about techniques and tools that are shown to be humane and compassionate by the contemporary and scientific understanding of canine behavior
o Addressing any underlying issues such as anxiety, fears, or phobias
o Understanding the cross over between medical and psychological reasons for behavior -veterinary behavior medicine is similar to human psychiatry in this way
