Pet Treatments given by Pet Psychologists
Pet owner's are given instructions to train & control their pets behavior. Confrontational situations are created with their pets & pets are trained not to bite or get hyperactive. The role of a Pet Psychologist is to provide a means to guide the pet to be safe. In rare circumstances drugs & anti-depressants are also prescribed.
For pets which are lonely & are left in the house during the day, Pet Psychologists also prescribe pheromone sprays to dogs and cats.
Pet Owners might need to make multiple visits, sometimes by themselves & most times with their pets to get themselves trained with the right tools to correct improper behavior. Pet Psychologist's usually have a degree in psychology, ethnology, or veterinary science.
