10. REACTIVITY/AGGRESSION

Fearful or aggressive reactivity in animals is complex behavior and should be addressed with the help of a trainer certified in animal behavior. Pet Waggin staff members must be able to safely handle your pets to provide care. If pets display fearful reactivity to new people we require that Enrichment pre-visits be booked with or without the client present to build on the pet’s comfort level. The number of required Enrichment pre-visits will vary; the pet sets the pace and how long it will take for them to feel comfortable can not be predetermined. During these visits we will use force free techniques and enrichment activities. Subsequent visits without the client present may still require longer visits, again, the pet determines when they are comfortable and confident, we will not force a pet into being handled if they are displaying reactivity. We are unable to provide service to any cat or dog, which presents a bite risk to our staff.
