Full disclosure...I am also a veterinarian. Dr. Pachel and his team are a valuable resource for any pet owner dealing with behavior issues for the past 1 & 1/2 years I have personally used his services for my adopted dog with a list of issues. Having an animal with behavior issues is like a roller coaster at times and the Portland Metro area is lucky to have a board certified veterinary behaviorist (there are only TWO practicing clinical behaviorists in OR & WA) to provide expert advice as well as provide owners with resources and APPROPRIATE local trainers that are all instrumental in a behavior modification program. Yes, it may take a while to get an appointment and his expertise is matched by an appropriate fee, but Dr. Pachels (as well as his technicians) consultation, treatment plans, and communication are top-notch. I do not hesitate to recommend my own clients to the Animal Behavior Clinic. For anyone who has a behaviorally challenging pet, there is often no quick miraculous fix (any person claiming that they can cure an animal of a serious behavior problem, IMHO, is setting an owner up for potential disaster). Managing a pet with behavior issues is an investment of time, resources, and money in order to get the best results and hopefully allow that pet to become thriving member of a family. Unfortunately, not every behavior case will have a happy ending, and Dr. Pachels recommendations and support in situations like these are invaluable.

Dr. Pachel has an amazing bed side manner as well as being an excellent clinician and communicator. He helped us enjoy our dog again.
