Procedure of treatment

The entire procedure which we call behavioral therapy lasts one to several months. In most cases it is enough time to remedy the problems in an effective way. There is a lot of attention to an understanding of the owner of the cause of the problems and to prevent them in the future. There is a close collaboration with the private veterinarian of the client.

Intake
The procedure begins with a behavioral interview in the clinique. This takes about one and a half hour. It identifies what problems there are, what the case history is, what possible causes are and what the role of the owners and other family members in the creation or maintenance of the problems is. During the conversation the dog is observed well. On the basis of this information can be made a good diagnosis. At the end of the conversation there will be clearness be given about the likely treatment and costs. Also you will be informed about the prognosis on the degree of success which is expected to be reached.
