Yeah, we refer people to a veterinary behaviorist in nashua NH and she is very reasonable. More so than training behaviorists I have trained with. She does a great job going over some scheduled goals and tips and pointers. I usually send people to her when they have more respect for the Degree, but I'm proud to say she recommends a lot of the same stuff we recommend at training! Good luck, and be sure to give it some time, it may be just what the doctor ordered.
Also, its not the girl herself but maybe how she approached the dog or how she looked at the dog....so long as it was ignored rather than soothed, I'm sure its a mute point by now. So long as the visit wasnt' traumatizing, I'm sure shes already forgotten about the scary tech. We are usually on a mission with other things on the brain, and don't always approach dogs the correct way, and not all techs know how to read dogs either. So long as they are willing to work with you in future visits it should get better. It may be one of those conditioning things to work on....going to the vets for good visits...just to get weighed or to say hi, rather than always get poked and prodded.
