or Expert Referrals

Below you will find a variety of animal behavior consultants that may be of help to you. Those that I recommend have been bolded. Those in bold italics are recommended but I don't have any personal experience with them.

Good animal behavior consultants are worth their weight in gold. Hence they are not free or cheap. Depending on your location, telephone or private consultations can run from as little as US$50 to over US$250 per hour.

Most consultants will need a completed behavior questionnaire or a history on your pet and the problem. If you contact these professionals please be courteous and prepared. The general location of the consultant is listed when known. Use our links or scroll down. Email us with any obsolete contact information. We now charge for any listings please visit the advertise section to be listed or to update your listing.
