Agressive Dog Policy
For the safety, protection and success of all involved, How's Bentley reserves the right to decline some aggression cases or to impose service requirements
for some aggression cases. The minimal requirements in no way guarantee successful results, but are in place to stress the importance of realistic expectations and the necessity
of follow up sessions after the initial consultation. It is rare that we would not accept a case, but in those rare instances, our decisions are based on the Code of Standards and
Ethical Conduct of the Association of Companion Animal Behavior Counselors. Please visit
www.animalbehaviorcounselors.org for more information.

If the aggressive dog has an unknown bite history or is aggressive but has not inflicted injuries, we categorize this as a Level 1 case. All of these requirements must be agreed to before
