Animal Behavior Counseling
To improve your pets behavior
Serving Cleveland & Akron, Ohio.
You can change problem behaviors
Your Dog. Your Cat. Behavior You Love.
Maybe you’re exhausted and near tears about your dog or cat’s behavior. It could be your first pet, but you could also be an experienced owner and in a situation you don’t understand. Either way, my behavior counseling services can help improve and eliminate bad behaviors.
With Animal Behavior Counseling You Get:
You will have personal access to Dr. Lincoln throughout your behavior counseling so if you run into any issues you will have help and support.

Appointments:
General Information: Appointments are scheduled by video call or in your home. Both work well. In a video call, your cat or dog is usually far more relaxed then at the veterinary office or with me in your home, so it is easier to evaluate your pet’s behavior, your relationships and the environment.
Once scheduled, you will be asked to fill out some forms and be given instructions on how to prepare for the visit.
Note that it is best to see your regular veterinarian first to make sure your dog or cat is healthy. This should include a physical exam and in some cases, bloodwork, a urinalysis and x-rays. We can discuss whether testing is necessary prior to your appointment. If your veterinarian has questions, please have them contact me or they can get more information and referral forms on our referral page.
Location
The locations served include primarily the Cleveland and Akron areas of Northeastern Ohio with appointments in your home. Phone consults are also available. Trip charges may apply depending on the travel distance. Please inquire at the time of scheduling.
