Posage Veterinary Behavior Services

Doctor Posage is an amazing behavioral therapist for dogs. She's kind, she's patient, and her suggestions are really good. I feel like we've made progress with our pup, And Crystal (sorry if I misspelled your name, forgive me!) is the. NICEST. LADY. EVER. Absolutely worth it, but go in with an open mind! If you're not a person who can handle gentle constructive criticism and frank discussions about what your dog can and can't do, then skip it.

Can’t speak for the quality of the vet as I didn’t even get that far. The receptionist answering emails is extremely rude and unhelpful, and doesn’t seem confident that their services would even work for my dog, but wanted me to come in and spend $355 for a consult anyway. Really?

Kind, patient, clear communication. Trying a few options and we will see how they go.

I bring my dog to Dr Posage as he has some behavior issues (excitement, jumping on people, anxiety). Our experience has been very positive. Dr Posage is very patient and has provided excellent care. She is our second provider as she had a waiting list and we wanted to get our pup started quickly, so we tried another behaviorist while we were waiting for Dr Posage’s availability. We only had a couple of sessions with the alternative provider and were very disappointed. We were lucky that an appointment became available and we were able to come to de Posage. We highly recommend her services as we have seen great improvements with our pup.

Brought our dog here and she wasn’t a ton of help. She primarily wanted to medicate and kennel her at all times and when things weren’t working there is no in between assistance just “we will talk at your next visit” she also said our dog was a submissive type but went for me twice once while pregnant. She’s now in a loving home with no kids or other dogs which was the better choice and not on any meds or kenneled. She wasn’t doing well with our baby or other dogs and was always in a panic. Our house was too much. 2 trainers agreed this wasn’t the environment for her but here she wanted her heavily medicated.

Her mind was already made up based on paperwork before we even got there to speak with her; she didn't interact with our dog aside from throwing him a treat; and decided we were "not up to the work" that needed to be done to re-train our dog after talking with us for 20 minutes. She didn't offer any real insight into our dog's behavior. We were hoping for insight and re-training ideas and got neither of those. Get yourself a good trainer and forget the behaviorist route unless you're looking for meds. or a suggestion to euthanize your troubled dog.

Dr. Posage and her staff were such a boon for us when we adopted our anxiety-ridden dog. Her office was inviting, and she was very calm and comforting to our sweet boy. Her advice was extremely helpful and with her help we saw our boy improve greatly. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who's fur-baby is in need of help.
