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 in the home and finds that dogs and cats are more relaxed and she can see first-hand how management can be improved.
