About Animal Behavior Wellness Center

Services

The practice publishes "Veterinary behavior consultations", "Animal training", "Force-free dog and cat training", "Classes & workshops" and "Pain assessments".

Approach

Training is published as force-free, and the behavior side is run as a veterinary service rather than a training school – which is why pain assessment sits on the same menu as training. Owners whose dog's behavior may have a medical component are the obvious fit.

Where they work

"Fairfax Campus: 11230 Waples Mill Rd. Suite 125A, Fairfax, VA 22030". The practice also runs a Richmond campus, which is a separate location.
