Good morning everyone!

I have really enjoyed providing this page as a resource on animal behavior, body language, and how to live in harmony with your furry friends; but since I am no longer providing in-home behavior consultations, the day has come to retire this page.

I invite you to follow my professional profile Nellie Wilbers Dvm to continue to learn about animal behavior and senior pet care!

Love to all!

How to choose the right clicker for your pet!

There are so many different options, and we want to pick one that our pet can easily hear in the environment we are training them in.

Remember to always consult with your veterinarian first to rule out or treat any medical causes and potentially discuss behavioral medications that might help you be more successful with your plan.

It made my heart so happy yesterday to hear about a new science based, R+ trainer in town who has the support of one of our local boarded veterinary behaviorists.

I always caution against Board and Trains in general since most use punitive methods that often cause life-long trauma and harm, but for families who really need that option, there's finally one around town that is safe for your pup.

You can find other modern, science based trainers and learn how to spot red flags (such as "balanced", "pack-leader" and "dominant") on my website: https://www.petsandpeopleinharmony.com/trainers-and-tools
