BOARD CERTIFICATION
As in human medicine, veterinary medicine has a system for educating and certifying specialists that involves internships and clinical residencies. A board certified veterinary behaviorist, or Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists (DACVB) has successfully completed the most rigorous program of education and experience in clinical animal behavior in the United States, including completion of the DVM degree, several years of post-DVM education and experience in the specialty, completion of research in the field and, finally, they must pass a rigorous two day examination of the subject. Behavior problems can be caused by a variety of medical disorders, learning, genetics, early experience, problems of environmental management, or other problems. The DACVB can evaluate all aspects of your pets problems and design a treatment program that meets your pets individual needs.
