General Information
|
...In
general, I appreciate the incredible resource that this group and listserv
affords me. In my situation, I am the person that the vets come to for
guidance with behavioral issues. Although I take this charge seriously, I
am very well aware of the limitations of my position. Our average client
will not take their behavior issues to the animal behaviorist (cost,
inconvenience, etc.) They rely on the veterinarian for diagnosis and me for
help with the recommended protocol for behavior modification and training. I
do my best to end their frustration and insure that their pets will be the
best LIFELONG companion that they can be. I have built a library of books,
pamphlets, videos and various resources to help me but, by and large, this
society is my most valuable resource.
Thank you again,
Lisa Berkenstock
