CLINICAL BEHAVIOR SCIENCE
In general, behavior modification training is not done at the Behavior Clinic. The treatment plan is explained and training techniques are demonstrated to the owners by the behavior clinic staff. The owners then work with their animal at home. An exception to this is the behavior modification technique of "noise phobia desensitization." Pets with a noise phobia undergo this training at the Behavior Clinic which has a high fidelity audio system providing accurate reproduction of noises to which animals are fearful.
Evaluation of behavioral problems is by appointment. Appointments may be scheduled by calling the Small Animal Clinic Appointment Desk at (865) 974-5528. Owners MUST be referred for appointments by their veterinarian.
