About Dr. Carolyn Lincoln
Veterinarian, Special Interest in Behavior Medicine
About Dr. Lincoln
Dr. Lincoln has practiced veterinary medicine in the Cleveland area since 1990. With behavior medicine as a primary interest, she cared for patients with behavior issues part-time throughout the years.
As she became more involved in this area and realized the tremendous need, she followed her passion and began making Play To Behave her full-time work. Now she can address behavior issues online, which has become the majority of her work and also, in the home. She finds that dogs and cats are more relaxed both online and in the home so she can see first-hand how management can be improved.
“Dr. Lincoln is a very smart, and compassionate veterinarian and animal behaviorist. First and foremost, she has the well-being of her dog clients at the top of her list, and strives to help us humans better understand and improve the relationship we have with our dogs, so life is better for all of us.
