During a wellness exam, how can clients be engaged in training discussions?

Engaging clients in training discussions during a wellness exam is best achieved by introducing benefits and identifying behavior goals. This approach encourages open communication and collaboration, allowing clients to understand how behavioral training can positively impact their pet’s health and wellbeing. When clients are informed about the benefits, such as improved behavior and stronger bonds with their pets, they are more likely to see value in training. Identifying specific behavior goals helps tailor the discussions to the individual needs of the pet, making the training relevant and actionable for the client.

By focusing on the benefits and goals, the conversation can shift from being purely procedural to one that fosters an environment of shared responsibility for the pet's wellbeing. This engagement can lead to better results in both training and veterinary care, as clients feel empowered and informed.
