What is Behaviorally Healthy?

The definition of a behaviorally healthy pet is more than the absence of behavior problems.  It is the presence of normal and acceptable pet conduct that enhances the human-animal bond and the pet’s quality of life.

Qualities of Healthy Behavior:

• Affectionate without being needy
• Are friendly and tolerant of people, including children and members of their own species
• Enjoy and/or tolerate normal everyday handling and interactions
• Eliminate only in acceptable areas
• Adapt to change with minimal problems
• Play well with others without becoming uncontrollable or rough
• Are not dangerous to the community

At Green Planet Pet Center, we employ positive, reward-based training techniques.  This approach preserves the dog’s confidence and trust in you, enabling you to foster a relationship that is happy and cooperative, resulting in a behaviorally healthy pet.
