      <image:title>How Cat Behavior Consulting Works | Natural Healthy Cats</image:title>
      <image:caption>Book an Appointment Click Here to schedule your first session with me! Reach Out Risk Free Send me an email or use the Contact Us form to discuss the issue you’re having. There is absolutely no charge for this discussion so it’s completely risk free to contact me! Your Cat Behavior Consultation During your initial consultation session we will discuss your intake form, review environmental and social enrichment and talk through the behavior issue in detail. We’ll continue to work closely together to resolve your behavior issue through choice-based, positive reinforcement training until harmony and joy has been restored to your household. After each session, you will receive a written summary, and amendments to your Action Plan. There will be a final, wrap up session where we briefly review the process and I will answer any final questions. I will be available via email for continuing support for a set amount of time depending upon package and needs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Jennifer Van Valkenburg | Certified Cat Behavior Consultant - No really, cats can be trained?</image:title>
      <image:caption>There’s a perception that cats can’t be trained or that you need to live with a particular behavior issue because there’s nothing that can be done about it. That’s simply not true! Cats are smart, social animals with an amazing capacity to learn and communicate. Sometimes, we just need a little help to build that bridge to connect you with your cat.  That’s where I come in! I love helping cats and their caregivers find harmony in their household through force-free, fear-free, choice-based behavior and training methods all rooted in science. Send me an email or message about the problems you’ve been having and we’ll work together to find the best plan of action for you. The initial conversation is no cost so what’s the risk? Wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy your time with your cat again?</image:caption>
