Behavior and training resources

Is your new puppy demolishing your house? Does your dog drag you down the street on walks?

In addition to our classes, Lake Mills Veterinary Clinic offers private lessons and in-clinic consultations for more serious behavioral problems. We can also come to your home to evaluate and treat your dog's behavior.
