| Behavioral Specialist in Austin, TX? Hi, Anyone know of a good behavioral specialist for doggies in Austin, TX or the surrounding area? I have been trying to work with Maggie on her separation anxiety issues (obsessive barking/howling when I leave the house) for the last 6 weeks. I am not making any real progress and I don't really want to resort to meds or some sort of device (like barking collar or those alarm things). I want to make sure I am making the right corrective measures and not making her anxiety worse. I have tried kong, special toys, radio/tv, covering the crate, not making a big deal out of coming/going, making her sit/stay and then pet her/feed her/play with her, exercise, etc. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I want her to be happy Rita |

| I don't know if they address specific behavioral issues...but there is a place on 290, in Dripping Springs, called Stay & Play and I know that they offer classes and I believe that they do have trainers that work one on one with clients. You could call and ask them...couldn't hurt, they might can give you a referral if they don't do it themselves. Good luck!!!
