Starting today we will be running a series of short
articles addressing some of the common myths about dog behaviour. Please check back frequently!
Myth
# 1:
"I’m
embarrassed to talk to my veterinarian about my dog’s behaviour. I’m afraid that I am the cause of the
problem!"
Many factors play a role in the development of behaviour
problems, including genetics, early experiences and environment. While you can worsen a pet’s behavior with
inappropriate training methods, it is highly unlikely that you caused your pet’s
behaviour problem. Some medical
conditions and medications can also contribute to behaviour changes, so please
consult us when you pet exhibits worrisome behaviours,
FACT:
Don’t hesitate to ask us about any problem that may affect your pet’s well
being and his relationship with you and your family. Most behaviour problems are
at least manageable – if not curable.
The sooner you seek advice, the higher the likelihood we can
successfully treat the problem.
