Animal Behaviorists take scientific knowledge about animal behavior and apply it to real-life issues. Working directly with pet owners, they evaluate behavior and provide information necessary to improve the quality of life of the animal. Professional animal behaviorists have only recently begun studying domestic animals - in the last 25 years.
Smrtdog.com strives to expand our knowledge of the interrelationships between people and their canine companions. In the treatment of behavior problems in dogs, it takes time to establish cause and develop treatment plans that are suitable for the owner’s circumstances.
