Behavior & Training Contact Information Behavior Helpline: |
Behavior & Training Humane Society Silicon Valley supports positive based training and treatment of animals. Positive based training is defined as using no fear, physical force or pain in the teaching and treatment of an animal; to do no harm to an animal, either emotionally or physically.) Remember, punishment such as striking, or even yelling, is more likely to make a pet fear you. This could result in aggression toward you or one of your family members. Our pets have a different language, social structure and different values than humans. When changing your pet's behavior, you must remember the two of you are not at all alike. Animals have a different language, social structure and different values than humans. This means that you need to understand how your pet thinks so you can change his bad habits. Humane Society Silicon Valley is here to help! We have created a wealth of Pet Behavior Information which can help solve most common behavior problems. If you need further advice, you can enroll in one of our training classes or take advantage of our free Ask the Behaviorist service. Our goal is to support you and your pet so that we can help keep pets in their homes!
