We don’t learn good behaviours through fear. We simply learn how to avoid consequences and to appease.

Fear in our dogs is not always taken seriously, with so many videos floating round social media that get a few laughs.

We wouldn’t laugh if a child cowered in fear. We would take action, show concern and the same should go for our dogs.

We have the power to motivate, provide clarity and guide. We should never waste that on scare tactics or intimidation.

Learning to speak our dog’s language is the first thing we should do for them, as they try so hard to learn ours.

This is sad news ☹️

When we started this little business and set it free, we were excited to try doing something bold. Our sparkly new unicorn would be a veterinary behavior consulting company driven by passion and deep-knowledge. We would have veterinarians, behavior consultants, an education department, and maybe even a human therapist! We would pay people way better than we had been paid and we would provide benefits, too. A team of amazing rockstars joined. And we slayed.

And we grew. Fast. SO FAST.

Until, suddenly, we looked around and our unicorn had turned into a giant rhinoceros running over all of us faster than we could get out of the way.

Our amazing team has spent the last year trying to wrangle this company back under control.

The executive team took pay cuts, we reduced our work-force, we moved to less expensive platforms, and pivoted so much we all have whiplash. I personally haven’t taken a salary from this company in over a year and our other family has invested significant amounts.

Because we’ve had to divert our energies to mid-size company management, we don’t have time to create and live the vision we created. And that isn’t a way to live or to make the world a better place.

As a result, we are closing Behavior Vets and it will be filing for bankruptcy. Our experience is this will undoubtedly play out on social media, and we won’t be responding to any comments other than to say here that ‘recollections may vary’. There are always two sides to every story or maybe eight sides to every rhinoceros. Where bad decisions might have been made they were the best bad decisions available with extremely limited resources. Although we have been open with our team members for the last year, this may still feel like a surprise to some.

We are working rapidly to support our clients and patients with transition information. If you are personally affected by this, you will receive communications from us with next steps on the transition process as we wind down. This will take some time. Please be patient with us and know we are working as rapidly as we can.

Thank you for dreaming with us, Behavior Vets Friends. We hope to see you in quieter pastures soon!

Warmly, Dr C and the Behavior Vets Team

In a time when many dog trainers shy away from taking a clear stand against aversive methods, ’s message is bold and unambiguous:

Either you are okay using pain, fear, and discomfort in dog training, or you are not.

For Victoria, the answer is a firm “No.” And that is based on modern ethics and evidence.

Her stance is straightforward: no dog, not even “extreme” cases, should be coerced into compliance through fear or pain when positive, force-free methods are proven to be more humane and effective.

Victoria’s words are a call to action. It’s time for the dog training community to reject outdated practices and speak out against those professionals in the industry who still defend and promote them to a vulnerable public.

Sometimes the way we approach dogs is as inappropriate and scary as if we were approached in the same way.

Even the most people friendly dogs may need a bit of a slower hello and the option to approach if and when they choose to.
