Behaviour & Training Solutions

At Leo Vets, we believe that trip to the veterinarian doesn’t need to be a scary experience for your pet and a stressful event for you! With a special focus on behaviour, we integrate veterinary care with nurturing your pet’s emotional well-being. That’s why our team have completed targeted training to become Fear Free Certified Professionals. Our Fear Free approach empowers veterinary staff to modify clinic procedures, handling, and facilities, so that pets feel safe while receiving care. Our aim is to reduce and even eliminate stress for both you and your pet!

The Fear Free Experience

Elimination of waiting room & dedicated cat rooms

Treats – we use ‘high value’ rewards to create positive association

Pheromones –  mimic distinct maternal calming signals that cats and dogs recognize

Non-slip surfaces – often forgoing the exam table in favour of exam on couch or floor.

Interventions – The use of anxiety reducing supplements or medication, even light sedation when necessary

Behaviour Consultations

Whether conducted virtually, in-clinic, or in-home, these personalized sessions address your pet’s specific behaviour concerns in a calm and supportive setting.

Puppy Preschool

An early socialization program that builds essential social skills, ensuring a smooth transition into family life. Studies have shown that the most critical period for socialization is between 3 to 16 weeks of age. When puppies gain positive experiences while they are young, they are less likely to develop fearful behaviours. Early exposure will help your puppy grow into a confident and resilient adult dog. This window of time is short, so our weekly Puppy Preschool classes help you set your puppy up for success.

Dog Training Classes

Group sessions emphasizing positive reinforcement techniques that foster a strong, trusting bond between you and your pet.

1:1 Behaviour Modification
