Our goal is help you resolve common behavior problems i.e. jumping, barking, chewing, digging, house-training, socialization and play behavior without jeopardizing your relationship using harsh corrections, training methods and equipment. More complex behavior problems can also include these common natural behaviors as well as aggression, anxieties, fears, phobias, sibling rivalry.  This requires a veterinary referral, behavior consultation, assessment and observation of your pet.

SPECIAL NOTICES:

Responsible Dog and Cat carries liability insurance for your and our protection. Coverage includes dog training, behavior modification, kenneling, and daycare.

We provide the most effective training and behavior plans based on your needs. We use dog friendly training methods.  We’re concerned about your dog’s behavioral wellness. We require veterinary referral for all behavior cases. 

Training and behavior assessments are not guaranteed. It is ethically ineffective and inappropriate to guarantee or profess an ability to predict future behavior of any living animal. Behavior is not static but is always under the influence of one’s environment and environmental conditions are always subject to change. It is for this condition that we cannot guarantee any training or behavior outcomes.  Success is entirely up to you and you should consider this your responsibility.

Your pet is inspected on arrival.  We are a socially directed facility.  You will be expected to sign training, behavior assessment, modification, boarding, and daycare agreement.
