He assesses aggressive and otherwise difficult behavior cases jointly with our training team, ensuring medical and behavioral causes are both accounted for before a plan is built.
The partnership
Tirana Vet Hospital
Besnik Canine Academy operates in direct partnership with Tirana Vet Hospital — the reason we can offer joint medical and behavioral assessment for aggressive or complex cases that a training-only practice typically has to refer out.
