Comprehensive behavior solutions for cats and dogs

Chirrups and Chatter's mission is to strengthen the bond between animals and humans through education and behavior modification to reduce occurrences of re-homing and euthanasia.

Concerned about your pet's behavior?

Chirrups and Chatter offers comprehensive behavior solutions tailored to the unique needs of your pet. Our services include education to prevent behavior concerns, training for stress-free veterinary visits (carrier training, medication training, happy nail trims, and more), and puppy and kitten socialization. We use science-based training methods, including positive reinforcement, counter-conditioning, and desensitization. These techniques are not only effective but also enjoyable for both you and your pet, helping to strengthen the human-animal bond while addressing behavior challenges.

As a board certified veterinary behavior technician, Tabitha also offers pain assessments and collaborates closely with your veterinarian on complex, multimodal cases that involve both pain and behavior concerns. This ongoing partnership ensures that your pet’s physical and emotional needs are met, laying the foundation for meaningful and lasting change. Tabitha is dedicated to advocating for your pet, ensuring they receive the best possible care and support.

Taking the initiative to seek advice is the first step toward a better relationship with your canine or feline companion. Behavior concerns can feel overwhelming and emotional, but you don’t have to face them alone. We will work closely with you, your family, and your pet to restore balance and harmony to your home.

Whether you’re addressing current behavior concerns or seeking guidance to prevent potential issues, Chirrups and Chatter is here to help. We offer in-person training in the Northeast Ohio area and virtual options for clients worldwide!
