It’s that time of year when we all start thinking about what we want to do in 2014 to accomplish our goals and make our lives better. We have a protocol for pet parents that we know from our years of experience, both as professionals and as pet owners, will make your life with your pet better for both of you. We’ve used our Seven Step Positive Proaction Plan © for almost 20 years to help prevent and resolve behavior problems in dogs and cats. Suzanne’s best-selling “Pet Behavior Protocols” book is based on these seven steps, and we think our Plan is the perfect one to follow to improve your pet’s behavior and your relationship with your four-legged best friend in 2014. This article is a bit longer than usual, but we think it’s worth it to share our exclusive Seven Step Plan© with you.
