Engmann Veterinary Behavior Consulting, PLLC

"When I started working with Cassie Engmann, my year-old Winnie was growling, snapping and biting me, sometimes seemingly without warning. I was afraid what this behavior might lead to if I didn’t address it. Working with Cassie gave me an understanding of how to read Winnie’s body language to avoid the triggers that caused aggression. Cassie gave me hope that Winnie would be OK with the right tools – just the right encouragement and support that I needed. I’m happy to say that Winnie’s progress has been steady over the past months and we have a much stronger bond than we had before. I know how to respect her need for distance and she chooses to be handled much more frequently than before. We have the relationship that I had hoped for from the beginning. I am forever grateful for the help Winnie and I got from Cassie. I recommend Cassie for help with canine behavior issues without reservation."

"Dr. Engmann has been wonderful to work with. She took her time with us and helped us tremendously with our rescue dogs' behavior and anxiety problems. She has given us helpful tools like recognizing our dogs' body language, how to prevent biting and how to help our dog learn to self calm. We highly recommend Dr. Engmann."

"Two and a half years ago, we began a tough journey with our mini-aussie Penny. She was absolutely panicked when left home alone and nothing we were trying was working. After a recommendation from our beloved dog-trainer, we sought out a consultation with Dr. Engmann. Her intake process and consultation was thorough and so kind - she talked about Penny as a whole dog, not just her separation anxiety. She gave us homework that started from the source (her anxiety) and not just a band-aid to leave her alone. She was always so kind and reassuring, knowing I felt so guilty about our situation. Dr. Engmann graciously read my weekly emails and provided support, encouragement, and more ideas on how to really help with Penny. We met a few more times virtually over the course of two years, for updates and consultations. After keeping in touch and continuing our work, we have officially reached a point in our journey where we can comfortably leave Penny alone without much worry. As a bonus, she helped us teach Penny to be more confident and showed us how to work with Penny on her comfort level. We have gone from a puppy that cried when we got in the shower (she couldn't see us) to a grown-up girl who calmly watches us leave the house. We are so grateful for her kind and supportive help. We would recommend Dr. Engmann to anyone having trouble with their dog's behaviors."

"Making an appointment with Dr. Engmann was one of the best decisions I have made for my dog. After years of working with trainers, veterinarians, behavioralists, and more, I finally found the support of Dr. Engmann and will be forever grateful. My dog is extremely fearful of people and other animals, yet he felt so safe with Dr. Engmann that he fell asleep during our first appointment. Since that day she has, and continues, to help to improve his quality of life more than tenfold. Not long after our initial consult, we found a stray pup desperately in need of a home. With Dr. Engmann's help and support, we were able to help my dog to safely build trust with his new sister at his own pace, and the two of them are now the best of friends with the most loving relationship. I firmly believe that without Dr. Engmann's support, this seemingly unfeasable achievement would not have been possible. Dr. Engmann has helped us to understand the relationship between my dog's health, environment, experiences and his behavior. Her evidence-based approach is rooted in empathy, and we have felt supported like we never have before. Her insight into medication, behavioral training, and more has truly been a lifesaver. As a sitter and caregiver for fearful and reactive dogs, I recommend Dr. Engmann to all of my clients, and she has met every single one with care, compassion, and unmatched support. From my babies and me, thank you SO much Dr. Engmann!!"

"Dr Engmann is amazing. She has worked with several of our dogs both as a medical veterinarian and a behavioral specialist. I would highly recommend her for any behavioral issues including anxiety, fear, or reactivity. The dogs and I love her! Thank you Dr Engmann!"
