For Trainers

Trainers and veterinary behaviourists work best as a team. If you are working with a pet whose behaviour is not responding as expected, or where you suspect a medical or pharmacological component, we are here to collaborate.

When a referral to a DACVB may help

  • Behaviour has not responded to well-implemented training protocols

  • Anxiety or fear is severe enough that the pet cannot engage with learning and training

  • Medication may be needed to allow training to be effective

  • Aggression poses a safety concern beyond the scope of a training program

  • A medical contributor to behaviour change is suspected

  • The owner needs a formal diagnosis or clinical framework

How we work together

A referral to True North does not mean stepping away from a case - it means adding a layer of specialist support. Dr. Squair's treatment plans are designed to integrate with ongoing training, and she is happy to collaborate directly with trainers who are already working with a client.

How to refer a client
