Synergy Behavior Solutions & COVID-19
As of this date, Dr. Valli is able to see new clients via our Zoom video-conferencing account. Most clients and pets will be seen online to prevent the risk posed to clients, and the spread of COVID. At this stage, we are also planning to have all of our follow-up behavioral care (behavior therapy sessions, classes, and veterinary rechecks) taking place online via Zoom video conferencing.
As things evolve our plans may change but we have to roll with the punches for now. We are in the middle of building an amazing array of new online offerings (including some low cost ones) to provide lots of new content, classes, live streams, lectures, workshops, and anything else we can think of to help. Keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram for details on that.
Portland Veterinary Behavior PLUS Pet Training
Behavior problems in our four-legged friends can be stressful and difficult to manage. At Synergy Behavior Solutions in Portland, Oregon, we unite veterinary medicine, behavior and training into a unique program that helps clients address their pets’ problem behaviors. Our veterinary behaviorist practice team’s passion is to help you understand your pet’s behavior. By evaluating your pet’s mental and physical health from a whole-animal perspective and providing support to help you through the treatment process, we can successfully improve behavior problems. We use only the most up-to-date, effective and humane veterinary behavior and reward-based training methods.
Our close collaboration with you and your primary veterinarian helps keep everyone engaged in your pet’s comprehensive treatment plan. To put it simply…though compassion and support our practice helps people and their pets achieve greater harmony together!
SYNERGY: When two things work together in harmony, the result is
greater than when those two things work separately.

Helping Isabelle (and her mom) find peace
"My Golden Retriever Isabelle, had been showing signs of reactivity at one year old and at the age of two it was worse. I live right by Forest Park, but I couldn’t take her up there, because if dogs came up to her off lead she would lunge and growl. My world became smaller and smaller. Since then we have done more than I could have imagined. I have way more fun and confidence knowing I’m prepared to lead my dog through a more enjoyable life. Its one of those lifetime opportunities that’s life changing."

Resolving fear with kindness
"I originally contacted Synergy to help with my fear aggressive dog, Casey and his reaction toward strangers. After three private sessions, Casey’s aggressive reactions towards strangers have improved significantly. Positive reinforcement is both effective as well as fun for the dog, and I would recommend Synergy Behavior Solutions to anyone needing assistance with behavior problems."

Dispelling negative stereotypes
"When I found my dog Mollie as a stray...it was obvious she’d had a hard life. She was emaciated and was pretty dog aggressive. We signed up for a class and I was truly amazed at the progress she made! In the months since, I can see how Mollie’s training continues to work for us...Her training with Synergy is really helping her overcome the difficulties of her previous life." Read More...

Anxiety solutions for dogs, compassion for humans
"I have a four year old dog named McLeod with a lot of energy and anxiety...Dr. Valli made sure we understood this was not a quick fix, but that it will take time, patience, and consistency on our part. I am happy to report we have noticed observable changes (and) we are enjoying our dog more and learning a lot...I would recommend Synergy Behavior Solutions to anyone that has dogs with behavioral issues."

Dexter enjoys staying calm
"I adopted a cute little mutt, and very shortly thereafter, he began to develop horrible aggression problems toward strangers. It made our lives miserable!...Scott has shown unbelievable insight into the mixed up little brain of my lovable dog. Dexter has come leaps and bounds and it is all thanks to Scott’s wise, persistent, gentle training of both my dog and me! Now, we ride the elevator proudly and my neighbors actually refer to him as “the best behaved dog in our building!” Read More...

Java tolerates cats and vets
"Java is doing GREAT...she and the cats get along well and she loves to hang out on the back deck and does very little barking. She is increasingly better on the leash and is completely at ease with new people. I am so proud of her and she is a great addition to the household. We sure love her...and I have figured out how to work with her.”

Hazel grows to like kids
"We needed help sorting out some new aggressive behaviors that our dog, Hazel, was exhibiting after our son was born. In four visits Scott helped us understand Hazel’s perspective, showed us how to work with her to reduce the episodes, and gave us tools to use to keep up our progress with her. Best of all, Hazel loved every minute of the training. We haven’t had a recurrence of the problems since our last meeting. I frequently refer my clients to him and know they will be in good hands."

Cody gets kindness and care
"Dr. Valli gave us so much information and left me feeling far more confident in the plan...and made me feel that my questions and input were truly welcome. I drove 3.5 hours to see her, and it was worth every minute and then some. I absolutely would use her again and I'm already recommending her to other folks!"
