Dog Behaviour Consultation Form | Denenberg Veterinary Psychiatry

NORTH TORONTO · PET OWNERS

Request a Consultation

If you are concerned about your dog's behaviour, this form is the first step. Share what you have been experiencing, and a member of the team will be in touch to discuss your situation and determine the most appropriate next step.

About The Consultation

A behaviour consultation is a comprehensive assessment of your dog, the behaviour concern, and the environment in which it occurs. The aim is to understand what is driving the behaviour — not simply to manage what is visible on the surface.

Following the assessment, you will receive a clear explanation of the diagnosis and a structured, individualized treatment plan suited to your dog and your household.

Is This The Right Step

This service is intended for dogs with complex, persistent, or difficult-to-manage behaviour concerns that affect safety or quality of life.

A behaviour consultation is appropriate when:

— The behaviour has not improved with previous approaches

— The concern involves anxiety, fear, or aggression

— The problem has been ongoing or is becoming more difficult

— You need a clear understanding of what is driving the behaviour

If you are unsure whether this service is appropriate, get in touch, and the team can help determine the right next step.

What To Expect

Consultations are typically 1.5 to 2 hours in length. After you submit this form, a team member will review your inquiry and contact you to book an appointment.

Follow-up appointments are available as part of ongoing care.
