About Us
Virtual Veterinary Behavior Medicine
Virtual Veterinary Behavior Medicine (VVBM) is a groundbreaking nationwide service that empowers both veterinarians and pet owners to address and resolve behavior problems in pets from the comfort of their own homes. With the click of a button, this innovative brand connects pet parents with a Board-Certified Veterinary Behaviorist, ensuring expert guidance and support for pets facing behavioral challenges. We treat a wide range of behavior problems, including generalized anxiety, aggression, separation anxiety, compulsive disorders, noise fears/phobias, senility/cognitive decline, inter-cat aggression, inter-dog aggression, car ride anxiety, and many more!
In addition to our behavior consults, we offer virtual training services, available independently or alongside our behavior services. Training is often key to behavior management, and our trainers collaborate with the veterinary behavior team to create customized plans. Goals may include polite leash walking, barking, jumping, leash reactivity, or muzzle training. We also incorporate enrichment games to keep learning fun and engaging!

Connect directly with a board-certified veterinary behaviorist to evaluate your pet’s behavior and go through a thorough recommended treatment plan intended to fit the special needs of your pet and your family.
Virtual PET Training
At VVBM, we aim to uncover the root cause of your pet’s undesirable behavior and guide them toward a more favorable response. Through collaboration with our trainers, you’ll employ positive reinforcement and evidence-based methods to enhance the behavior of your dog or cat while fostering trust, confidence, and effective communication! It’s difficult to know where to start when navigating your pet’s unwanted behavior challenges and beginning a pet behavior modification plan. Our experienced staff offers personalized guidance for your path forward!

What To Expect
Your Primary Care Veterinarian’s Involvement
Your primary care veterinarian plays a crucial role in your pet’s well-being. For our veterinary behavior service, referral from your primary care veterinarian is an essential and required component of working with VVBM. Legally, we must partner with your primary care veterinarian to make any behavioral health recommendations. We also cannot prescribe any medications directly for your pet. This is because of our lack of an established veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR) due to the virtual nature of our consultations. A referral is not required for training services, however.
Thank you for your kind words
Dr. O’Brien is so kind, considerate, and practical in her approach to tackling animal behavior problems. She makes sessions feel like a team effort and is so easy to work with. We have noticed a difference already after only one month!
