10 PROBLEMAS de CONDUCTA en PERROS (¡Más Comunes!)

Dogs can develop certain behavioral problems throughout their lives. However, before trying to apply any method, we must be aware of the causes that can lead to their appearance, the types of behavioral problems that exist, and how they are treated. Is your dog exhibiting any unwanted behavior? Don't know what to do? In this video by an animal expert, we explain everything you need to know. Don't miss it. Why do Behavioral Problems Behavioral problems appear in dogs for three main reasons. First, genetics studies show that genes directly influence a dog's personality. It is not uncommon for a fearful to have puppies with similar behavior. Second, socialization. Dogs that have not interacted with other animals, people, and environments before they were three months old are susceptible to developing behavioral problems in their adult stage. And third, learning. Our dog observes and learns all the time. If they have learned that crying gets attention or that biting leaves them alone, they will likely continue to engage in this behavior whenever they consider it necessary. 10 common behavioral problems in Dogs now that you know why behavioral problems occur, we'll show you the 10 most common ones. First, fear of dogs, people, objects, or environments. Fear is not exclusive to dogs that have been mistreated. In addition, there are many different types of fear, from fear of people to fear of fireworks. It can be more or less severe and requires regular sessions to resolve it. Second, separation anxiety. Separation anxiety is a disorder that appears whenever the dog is alone at home. Prolonged barking, defecation, urination, destructiveness, and crying are common. It causes a state of generalized stress in the absence of the owner. It is a complex problem that usually requires the help of a specialist. 3. Destructiveness and excessive Biting in Puppies Many people claim that they have a puppy with behavioral problems. However, destructiveness and severe biting are completely normal and acceptable situations. A puppy should never be scolded for them. It is vitally important to understand that they are at a very important stage in which their discoveries and experiences will have an impact on their adulthood. These are usually easy problems to treat if the entire family unit follows the same guidelines. Aggression towards dogs, cats, objects, or people There are many types of aggression. Resource guarding Territorial fear Aggression Predatory aggression. Intrasexual aggression is a serious problem that requires professional supervision and guidance. Regular behavior modification sessions are usually needed. Coprophagia These are dogs that ingest feces. This is common and normal in puppies, but not in adult dogs. It can be complex to treat and requires prior evaluation by a veterinarian. Number six Urination and defecation at home Markings should be differentiated from urination. These problems can be caused by other disorders such as fear, separation anxiety, puberty, excitement, health problems or cognitive dysfunction syndrome, a type of Alzheimer's that older dogs present. It is advisable to consult with the veterinarian before starting the training again. 7. Intolerance to handling or the use of certain objects. These are dogs that have not been properly socialized or that have had a bad experience. At first the dog usually tries to run away, but when that doesn't work, it can start to show aggression. Guidelines are required. 8. Excitability this refers to effusive behaviors that the caregiver considers inappropriate. Some examples are biting the leash or jumping on people. These are usually easy to correct. 9. Excessive barking excessive vocalization is usually caused by a behavioral problem such as separation anxiety, fear, or aggression. We must work on the cause of the problem and not directly on the symptom, which is the barking and 10. Abnormal behaviors. There are other behaviors that can put owners on alert, such as stereotypes, which are repetitive and constant movements with no apparent purpose, the behavior of dogs with senses that reject food, etc. What to do if our dog has Behavioral problems? More and more people are solving mild behavioral problems in their dogs thanks to access to information on the Internet. Of course, it is important to only follow the advice of those pages that show bibliography and ethology studies that support their effectiveness. We will completely avoid those that are not written by professionals. Do not reference or use punishment. In the most serious cases, we will go to a veterinarian specialized in ethology or a dog educator or trainer who specializes in behavior modification. In both cases, the specialist will ask us for a veterinary checkup to rule out health problems that may cause these problems, such as pain or hypothyroidism. They will offer us a diagnosis, work guidelines, and the possibility of carrying out behavior modification sessions. Once again, we will avoid those unqualified professionals who do not base their work on ethology or who use techniques that include physical punishment. That concludes our video today.
