Veterinary Behavior Specialties of Minnesota

"Our regular vet referred us to this clinic because of our pups severe separation anxiety. My only regret is I did not reach out sooner for an appointment. From the very beginning I was impressed with the organization of appointments and thoroughness of the paperwork/information gathering. Then I met Dr. Hayes and Sarah our trainer and you can tell right from the beginning that their knowledge of dogs is leaps and bounds ahead others. When coming up with a treatment plan they think of the dogs strengths and needs as well as the humans strengths and needs to develop a successful plan for all. They genuinely care and are so thoughtful of the pup and humans. Dr. Hayes and Sarah have improved Elly's quality of life which has improved the humans in the home quality of life too. I am so thankful for their passion to help pups and families that have challenging needs."

"They are great to work with. With their help I have gained the tools and the understanding to have a happy and healthy dog. Things I didn't think I was ever going to see."

"I took my dog here and was extremely impressed. I have had the help of my regular vet and nothing helped. I was beginning to feel hopeless and then I went here. From the moment we walked in, I felt the staff cared and wanted to help. They listened and made me feel hopeful. They treated my dog with compassion, respect, abd love. They were empathetic and so supportive. They gave me and my family hope that we can help our rescue dog and give him the life he deserves. I would recommend this place to anyone that has a dog with behavioral issues. Don't give up hope; go here!"

"I was at a point that I needed specialized care for my dogs anxiety issues. My regular vet recognized this and suggested I call and make an appointment. From the beginning, my dog and I were treated with great care and respect. They received our lengthy background information and applied it to our personal visit with great understanding. Our initial appointment was so fruitful. I went in with my shoulders over my ears and left that day with new tools and an action plan. We immediately started working towards a less stressful situation. We are in a much better place with the implementation of their care and support. If anyone is open to a fresh outside of the box approach, it is worth the effort and investment in your relationship. Thank you for being there for Gryffin and I. We still have a ways to go but I feel hopeful."

"Brought my spicy poodle here for some tlc and was very happy with the results. With 12 years of dog grooming under my belt I was skeptical about the training we'd be offered and feared that it would be the "basics" of dog behavior that I already knew. I was pleasantly surprised. There were many ideas shown to us that I hadn't thought of or run across before. That combined with some medication has my boy happier and more confident than ever. The staff was super nice, like SUPER nice. It was like sitting in a room with old friends who loved my dog as much as I do. I would recommend this place to anyone"
