Pet Training & Behavior

The experienced professionals of HAWS’ Behavior Department are dedicated to helping you bring out the best in your cat or dog, and to understand your pet on a deeper level. We are prepared to assist you with a wide variety of behavioral concerns or training goals, using motivational methods you will feel good about practicing. Each animal will learn differently, in his or her own unique way, and we are ready to assist you with finding the rewards that best engage your pet to work with you. We truly strive to abide by LIMA values in all areas of our behavior programs – Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive – so that your pet can feel as safe and supported as possible in their learning journey.
