Vet Behaviorist 

In certain behavioral situations, it is advisable to consult a Veterinary Behaviorist. Veterinary Behavior is a specialized area within veterinary medicine focused on diagnosing and treating behavioral issues in dogs and cats. Common problems addressed include but are not limited to, aggression toward unfamiliar or familiar individuals, aggression toward other animals (both unfamiliar and household pets), toileting (urinary marking and/or house soiling), separation anxiety, compulsive behaviors, cognitive decline (senility), fears or phobias related to noise or thunderstorms, and other concerning behaviors.

 Separation Anxiety 

Separation anxiety is a type of panic disorder or phobia that dogs may suffer when they are left alone. If your dog displays signs such as vocalizing (barking, whining, howling), having accidents, being destructive, or harming themselves by excessive licking or chewing, biting the crate bars, or even chewing on walls when left alone, they may be experiencing separation anxiety. This behavior and panic won’t go away on its own, but it is treatable. We do not take true separation anxiety cases. 
Please reach out for trainer recommendations. 

 Pain in Dogs 

Dogs are skilled at concealing their pain; however, a lack of visible signs does not mean they aren't suffering. If you suspect your dog is feeling any discomfort, it's important to have them examined by a veterinarian. Additionally, if your dog suddenly exhibits increased aggression, please consult your vet, as there could be an underlying issue.
