Dr Sung has been an absolute godsend for my foster dog. He is a herding breed dog, who is highly intelligent, but also very high energy. He was sadly placed in the wrong home, and the adopter returned him a month later, frightened and snapping fearfully. The rescue needed an independent professional to evaluate him to decide if he could be rehabilitated and successfully rehomed. Dr. Sung and her team assessed the dog, and were able to explain that some of the dog's behaviors were fearful, while others were simply attention-seeking, such as barking and jumping. They provided a detailed report and training methods to use in working with the dog in my home, to help his behavior improve. Three months of follow-up support is provided with the cost of the evaluation appointment, so I was able ask questions during follow up calls and emails. At followup visits, Dr. Sung assessed his progress and I got a refresher class at each one. I felt she really understood the dog as well as I did after having him in my home. He made dramatic improvements in the time we worked together, and I'm grateful for her guidance and reassurance during the entire process. We are now able to begin looking for the dog's forever home, something that was not possible for him just six months ago.
I was referred to ACBC by my regular vet. I have a 1.5 year old Rottweiler. He's my 4th rottie so I knew something was off pretty early on but I thought patience, socializing, and training would overcome. Instead it got worse, fast. Dr. Sung is uniquely qualified to help my anxious boy. In addition to a Behaviorist, she's also an actual Vet and to that end she can prescribe the drugs she would recommend and is deeply expert in her understanding of them. My primary care vet, whom I love, defers to Dr. Sung on any prescriptions that could interact with Fluffy's treatment, and Dr. Sung been great to work with in that respect as well -- dedicated and prompt. She's also the nicest, most unassuming human I have met in a very long time. The clinic is tucked away in an easily accessible area of Kirkland, and is clean, sensible and very comfortable. The customer care from the office staff is unsurpassed. Dr. Sung herself is incredible. The charges seemed expensive at first, but then, once I started to work through the exercises, go to the rechecks, and experience the level of support, it was unquestionably a great value. I can't begin to tell you how much of their time I've monopolized and they're always there for me, with a smile on their faces and compassion of the highest degree. If you need a Behaviorist, I highly recommend ACBC. They are the finest compliment I can imagine to the quality Vet care that I already have.
BEWARE. Relocating to Bay Area after 1st of the year. Had to reschedule appointment for 12/14 and told that she would only see a new patient until February, then any need for another visit would have to be done on the ONE DAY a month that she will be here until June. What if the problem isn't resolved by then? Maybe it will be, but if they had provided this information when I made the appointment and forked over a NON-REFUNDABLE $150 deposit, then I could've made a decision. I likely would not have been comfortable with beginning a relationship that would be so limited going forward. Very deceptive and unethical. They had they information and chose not to share it. Shameful.
Dr Sung is an wonderful resource for those of that have problem pets. She has helped us with my anxious dog for the past year and she has shown much growth as we have in helping her.
Dr Sung is highly knowledgeable and understands dogs on a whole other level. She's the only person in the STATE with her credentials. You won't be disappointed.
It takes two months to make an initial appointment. When we needed to reschedule we were told we would need to wait an additional two months (four months total from our initial request). This was not a practical solution for us. However, they still kept our $150 deposit. Our request to be on a cancellation list was not honored.
