Why Behavior Counseling?
Carolyn Lincoln, DVM 216-288-0868 lincolnofflead@yahoo.comDid you just come home and find your favorite shoes chewed up...again! The pair you need for work?
Did your neighbor stop by and before you could stop her, your dog wiped that smile right off her face?
Or did your landlord just call you for the 15th time about your dog's barking?
...but this time it came with a warning...
Have you decided you can't live like this anymore? You want to take vacations, wait...you just want to be able to go out to dinner without worrying about your dog. You want to invite your sister over without worrying about the stench from the cat urine. It's your home!
Having a pet wasn't supposed to be like this. Maybe you got Rosie or Sam for companionship, for protection, as a jogging partner, to compete in dog sports or for your kids. We all have our reasons, but we don't want to accept that type of problem behavior.
If this is you, believe me, you are not alone. In fact, the number one reason pets are relinquished or euthanized is for a behavior problem.
I became a veterinarian because I love animals and medicine. I want to help them. I have always had an interest in training and behavior so when I found I could help with these horrible issues; I began to focus on them.
We have made so many advances in the behavior field that more and more, pets are rehabilitated and the relationship between them and their owner is restored. Their lives are saved. Of course, we can't save them all; but the chances are improved and I want you to know help is out there.

Solutions can include all or just one of the following:
- training
- changing your behavior
- modifying the environment
- medication
No treatment for behavior is guaranteed but again, so many advances have been made in the field that you may be surprised at how often we can improve the situation or cure the problem.
So...purchase a new pair of shoes, invite your pals over and go off to work without worry....
Dr. Lincoln can help!
