For Veterinarians

I am focused on reducing or eliminating problem behaviors in equines by following the latest scientific guidelines for behavioral modification. I often work on general behavioral issues such as aggression around food, separation anxiety, and stereotypies (e.g. weaving).

However, as many behavioral problems can be related to pain, I request that all clients have had a recent veterinary appointment prior to beginning any behavioral treatments. If I observe behavioral signs of pain, I will refer the client back to a veterinarian before moving forward. If desired, I can send a consultation summary to you and keep you updated on follow-up plans and behavioral treatments.

I can also help address common problems related to husbandry such as needle phobia and reluctance to stand still, and help retrain difficult behaviors surrounding administration of medications such as oral or nasal treatments.

If you feel a client may benefit from these services, I have a referral form below that veterinarians can fill out and provide to their clients. If you have questions and want to talk more, please do reach out. Phone calls with veterinarians have no obligations and are completely free.
