What We Do

Evidence-based medicine and a compassionate, relational approach.

Understand Your Journey

Every dog’s behavior tells a story, and we take the time to listen. Through in-depth consultations, we work to truly understand your dog’s challenges, your personal goals, and the emotional impact of the behavior on your household.

Create a Strategic, Personalized Plan

Our plans are as unique as your dog. Using proven behavior modification techniques and, when appropriate, medication support, we design a tailored approach that addresses the underlying causes—not just the symptoms—of the behavior.

Support You Every Step of the Way

Whether through in-clinic sessions, detailed at-home exercises, or ongoing communication, we help you put the plan into action with clear, practical guidance that fits your lifestyle. We meet you where you are, providing the tools and support you need to move forward with confidence.

Working Together Towards A Better Life

Your dog’s condition is not a reflection of you or them, but a medical disorder that requires diagnosis and treatment. With step-by-step training plans, expert medical guidance, and comprehensive support, we’ll help you see your dog not for their shortcomings, but as the beloved companion you know they can be. The journey to behavior change is long and winding, but it’s faster when you take it with someone who knows the way. We’ll partner with you to find the right path for you and your dog and walk beside you every step—toward a happier, healthier, and safer life together.

Kathy W. "Dr. Engmann was a lifesaver when we adopted a rescue dog with significant fear-based aggression issues. Thanks to the compassion and knowledge we received, our "monster's" behavior is well-managed and our dog is a loving part of our family." Anne F. "When I started working with Cassie Engmann, my year-old Winnie was growling, snapping and biting me, sometimes seemingly without warning. I was afraid what this behavior might lead to if I didn’t address it. Read More" John K. "Dr. Engmann has been wonderful to work with. She took her time with us and helped us tremendously with our rescue dogs' behavior and anxiety problems. She has given us helpful tools like recognizing our dogs' body language, how to prevent biting and how to help our dog learn to self calm. We highly recommend Dr. Engmann." Sue K. "Dr Engmann is amazing. She has worked with several of our dogs both as a medical veterinarian and a behavioral specialist. I would highly recommend her for any behavioral issues including anxiety, fear, or reactivity. The dogs and I love her! Thank you Dr Engmann!" Happy Pets, Happy Owners
