*** BEWARE THE FALLACY OF BEHAVIORAL CHANGE
There is no magic bullet or quick fixes in behavioral modification. There are no guarantees that a pet’s behavior is going to be ‘fixed’ or that a pet’s behavior will match unrealistic expectations. As with behavior of your own that you want to change, behavioral modification with your pet requires work, consistency, dedication and a lot of effort from YOU. The longer your pet has been rehearsing the negative behavior or the older your pet is at the time you seek professional help, the longer your work and the modification journey is likely to take. Behavioral modification can take months, occasionally even years to see significant progress. Even then success will rarely be a complete transformation. Rather, success is measured in the small incremental breakthroughs in a positive direction that you can have with your pet.
