If you need help understanding your animal’s behavior, an online animal behavior consultation can help you identify what is happening, why the behavior may be continuing, and what practical steps to take next.
Lara Joseph uses applied behavior analysis and positive reinforcement training to help caregivers, trainers, and animal care professionals address behavior concerns across species.
Behavior concerns I can help with:
- Aggression, biting, lunging, or threatening behavior
- Fear-based behavior or avoidance
- Screaming, repetitive behavior, or attention-seeking behavior
- Step-up, handling, or cooperative care challenges
- Training plans that are not progressing
- Enrichment and foraging concerns
- Medication, crate, scale, or transport training
- Multi-animal household challenges
- Behavior concerns in parrots, dogs, pigs, and exotic animals
