Behavior Consulting

When she arrives, Ingrid will tour your home to see where your cat’s basic needs are located and where any problems are taking place. If your cat is eliminating outside the litter box, inappropriately scratching, or having conflict, be sure to point out those problem areas.

Ingrid will use visual aides to demonstrate how to successfully treat your cat's behavior problems. She will explain why the issues are occurring and will give you a behavior modification plan to solve the problem(s) as well as some literature about your cat’s specific issue. Your family is encouraged to ask questions and take notes, but the literature will act as a reminder of what you discuss during the consultation. 

It’s important to note that you will only have success in treating your cat's behavior problem if your family is willing to implement the recommended plan and environmental changes. The more open-minded and willing to work on challenges you are, the more successful the behavior modification plan will be. The problem will rarely be solved by doing one single task.

Creating a successful behavior modification plan involves assessing your cat’s physical and mental state as well as the home environment. Ingrid may recommend that your cat visit the vet prior to the behavior consultation.
