behavioral counseling process
Because your home is not a zoo
The cat is the most common pet that lives with humans. In this relationship, however, behavioral problems can often occur, such as uncleanliness, aggressive behavior, scratching, anxious behavior, and much more.
These often only result from communication misunderstandings or a lack of knowledge about the natural behavior of the cat.
In order to solve these problems, which are often very stressful for humans and cats, research into the causes is crucial and often very time-consuming. To do this, you need to know the cat´s natural behavior well and figure out how to get the problem under control.
As a behavioral consultant, I will inform you of conspicuous and stressful behavior and analyze it together with you.
The initial interview
Here you get to know me and I get to know you and your cat. You tell me a bit about the circumstances of your life, about your cat and above all about the problem you and/or your cats have.
It´s free and without obligation.
Advice home visit
From time to time it is necessary to get to know you and your cat in the familiar environment so that I can also see how the cat behaves. Here I come to you, discuss the problem behavior with you, analyze the behavior of the cat together with you, give you tips for optimizing the housing conditions, create a training plan with you, advise you on this and work out solution strategies with you.
After 14 days there will be a short telephone follow-up meeting to see the progress and to be able to clarify any questions.
In the case of a home visit, there is also the official kilometer allowance of €0.42 per kilometer driven (reason: Google Maps) and any parking fees.
Consultation online
It is often enough that I do not come to visit you and your cat in person. So I don´t disturb you or your cat in their natural environment and can advise you with the help of videos. Here, too, I will discuss the problem behavior with you, we will analyze the behavior of the cat together, I will give you tips for optimizing the housing conditions, I will create a training plan with you, which I will also advise you on, and I will work out solution strategies with you.
After 14 days there will be a short telephone follow-up meeting to see the progress and to be able to clarify any questions.
follow-up consultation
The problem cannot always be solved with an appointment. Of course, I will continue to accompany you and your cat.
If the problem cannot be solved with the help of the first appointment, I also offer you follow-up consultations. Here we look at the problem again and optimize the training plan and also your behavior and thus that of your cat.
After 14 days there will be a short telephone follow-up meeting to see the progress and to be able to clarify any questions.
In the case of a home visit, there is also the official kilometer allowance of €0.42 per kilometer driven (reason: Google Maps) and any parking fees.
Questions about the cat
If you want to get a new cat or add another cat to an existing cat, I will answer your general questions about keeping, acquiring, caring for, behaving and bringing them together.
But this is no behavioral or nutritional advice!
