How to Make an Appointment with Creature Counseling
Updated
Creature Counseling accepts appointments for dog and cat behavior consulting, and you don't have to live in its home region to use the service. The practice is based in south central Wisconsin, but telephone and video conferencing arrangements are available for people outside that area. If you're a dog or cat guardian dealing with a behavioral problem — or you want to prevent one — you can request an appointment through the "Make Appointment" option on creaturecounseling.com.
Who the service is for
The stated target audience is the guardians of dogs and cats who:
- Are dealing with behavioral issues their pet is exhibiting
- Want to take preventative measures to avoid future problems
The practice describes its purpose as enhancing the relationship between pets and their people, and helping when that bond becomes strained. It has operated since October 2000 and is led by veterinarian Dr. Susan Krebsbach, which means the consulting is veterinary animal behavior consulting rather than general training advice.
How to request an appointment
- Go to creaturecounseling.com.
- Use the Make Appointment option on the site.
- Expect to describe your situation — the site frames the service around behavioral problems exhibited by your dog or cat, so the more specifically you can describe the behavior, the easier it is to route your request.
- If you are outside south central Wisconsin, say so and ask about telephone or video conferencing when you make contact, since those arrangements are offered rather than automatic.
The site does not publish a booking form flow, fee schedule, or response-time commitment, so treat the appointment request as the start of a conversation rather than a confirmed slot.
In-person vs. remote: what to expect
| South central Wisconsin | Outside the area | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | In-person consulting | Telephone or video conferencing |
| Availability | Main geographical coverage | Available by arrangement |
| Best for | Local guardians who want hands-on observation | Anyone who needs guidance but can't travel |
If you're local, in-person consulting fits situations where the behavior needs to be observed directly. If you're not, remote sessions still give you access to the same consulting service — you just need to confirm the arrangement when you book.
Common snags
- Assuming remote is the default. It's an arrangement, not a standard option, so ask for it explicitly.
- Booking before you can describe the problem. The service is built around specific behavioral issues; a vague request makes it harder to match you with the right help.
- Expecting published pricing or hours. The site doesn't list them, so get those details directly when you make contact.
- Treating this as general obedience training. It's veterinary animal behavior consulting, aimed at behavioral problems and prevention, not basic commands.
