Article Evaluation

In the first paragraph there is a couple distractions. First, the use of the word "usually" in regards to what animal behavior consultants do. If using this word I would also want to hear what they do not "usually" do. The use of this word implies that there are unusual tasks for this career. Second, there is a rather long sentence that gets a bit confusing to read. I would suggest either breaking it into two separate sentences or taking some information out- it is not directly relevant what a animal trainer does to this article.

The overview section was well-written overall and informative. It largely focused on in-home animal behavior consultants. Some more information on the other types of animal behaviorist consultants could be beneficial. In the next section, veterinary medicine, there is mention of another specialty called veterinary behaviorist. This could be added to as another page opportunity.

The article does not give any implication of a preferred method or not, it displays facts is a fair and appropriate manner. All sources look to come from reliable and academic sites, the links I attempted to click all worked and lead to a reputable page. The latest changes on the page have improved it since the original criticisms of it in 2017. Many sources have been added and it reads much more professionally. It is a part of the WikiProject Animals. The only other gaps I can think of would be, how often are animal behavior consultants used and how much do they charge/make in a year typically?— Eng121 (talk) 14:16, 21 September 2018 (UTC).[reply]
