The Milwaukee Veterinary Medical Association invites all DVM's and CVT/s to a continuing education seminar:

"Behavioral Wellness" (Click to view brochure.)


PRESENTED BY:Manette Kohler, DVM
Helping Hand Veterinary Behavior Counseling

Dr. Kohler grew up in SE Wisconsin and attended both undergrad and veterinary school at UW-Madison (class of 1991). Early in her career she discovered the need for, and her passion for, providing behavioral support and counseling to her clients. Online courses in psychology and animal behavior, conferences, and self-study have allowed her to grow professionally in the vastly changing area of animal behavior. In 2009 she left private practice to start Helping Hand Veterinary Behavior Counseling and enjoys providing in-home behavior consultations for cats and dogs. In 2011, she also started to see in-clinic behavior appointments at the Milwaukee Emergency Center for Animals every other Wednesday. Just as we have programs in place to promote pets' health at all stages of life, there's an equal need to create programs to promote pets' behavioral health throughout their lifetime. This is especially true since behavior issues rank among the top reasons pets are relinquished. We'll discuss the main elements to a complete behavior wellness program including:

  • 1. Promoting and/or providing for the proper socialization for puppies and kittens.
  • 2. Helping clients develop realistic expectations and interpretations of their pet's behavior.
  • 3. Helping clients understand and better meet the behavioral needs of their pets.
  • 4. Understanding the need to make every vet clinic a behaviorally healthy place for our patients and clients
  • 5. Timely referrals, when needed.
