What is a Veterinary Behaviorist

Could a Veterinary Behaviorist Help Your Dog? Veterinary behaviorists are fully trained veterinarians who complete an additional specialized program in behavioral medicine. They then apply to be board-certified by the American College of Veterinary Behavior (ACVB). There only about 60 such certified veterinary behaviorists in the United States today.
