What Is an I.B.A.C.?
An Initial Behavioral Assessment and Consultation (I.B.A.C.) is a structured first appointment where a canine behavior professional evaluates your dog’s behavior. They will often assess factors such as your dog’s history, their previous and current environment, and current behavior, in order to determine and diagnose their specific problems or issues. Based on their findings, the professional can develop and implement a custom treatment or training program that adheres to your dog’s unique needs.
