Rabbits

;

Rabbits are social creatures that make great companions however their behavior wellness is often overlooked. As prey animals, rabbits perceive their world much differently than we do and often get frightened or frustrated by our actions and their living environment. Bring out the best behavior in your rabbit through our behavior services.

ONE TO ONE COACHING

Start with a Consultation, Continue with a Coaching Program

During your consultation, we’ll work together to create a plan tailored to you and your pet. During this hour we will review your pet’s behavior and lifestyle, identify concerns and prioritize goals, recommend management and safety strategies, review communication signals, introduce basic training principles and provide practical first steps.

Then, through the coaching program (purchased separately), we’ll support steady progress toward behaviors that make daily life easier while strengthening the bond you already share. Our coaching programs include step-by-step guidance, real-time feedback in live sessions, video review of practice for feedback, supplemental resources and email support.

For clients of a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists or a veterinarian specializing in behavior, we offer Adjunct Coaching sessions (no consultation needed). These sessions provide extra guidance through the nuances and details of your pet’s prescribed training and behavior modification exercises and can be purchased as single sessions.

Classes

Classes follow a fixed curriculum based on their specific topic. While the content remains consistent, you’ll have opportunities for questions and personalized feedback. Each class includes live instruction, pre-session lessons, group discussions, supplemental resources and a private, class-specific interactive group that serves as an extended classroom. Discover new skills, share some laughs, and enjoy learning with your pet!

Pre-Adoption

This session is perfect for anyone considering adopting a new rabbit of any age. We’ll guide you through key considerations for choosing a new rabbit, preparing your home, and supporting a smooth transition while encouraging good behavior from day one. You’ll also gain a better understanding of how rabbits communicate and learn, how to teach desired behaviors, and ways to positively introduce your new companion to pets already in your home, family, and friends. These foundations will help set the stage for a happy, successful life together.

At any time during our services, Pawsitive DiMensions may refer your pet to your regular veterinarian and/or a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Behavior to determine if there are any physiological components contributing to your pet’s behavior. Any attempt to modify behavior with an untreated medical issue will prove frustrating and unsuccessful, as well as cause the medical condition to worsen. Working together as a team will allow for the best care and successful behavior improvement for your pet.
