She currently practices Veterinary Behavior Medicine at UC Davis and in her private practice in Sacramento. Dr. Berger focuses on strengthening the human-animal bond and helping owners modify and manage their animal’s unwanted behavior. Her professional interests include anxiety and aggression problems in dogs and cats, as well as addressing both repetitive behaviors and unruly behavior problems such as jumping, barking, chewing, digging and many others.

Dr. Berger believes that prevention is the best form of therapy. When miscommunication and problems in the human-animal relationship can be addressed early on, the chance of an animal staying in the home is significantly higher. Dr. Berger wishes that more people would turn to their Veterinarian for behavioral advice since many behavior problems are psychological problems and not necessarily training problems. In most cases, positive results may be obtained through owner commitment and dedication.

Dr. Berger is also an internationally renowned speaker and teaches at UC Davis. She lives with her partner Jeff, 3 horses, 3 dogs and 3 cats in Vacaville CA. Her hobbies include trail riding, hiking, skiing and wine tasting.
