| % of o's that complain about dog behavioral issues | 90% |
| Fear | the most common behavioral issue reported by owners |
| Neonatal period | birth-14 days -Pups need to be handled properly and given tactile stimulation, thermal stimulation, and proper head positioning. |
| Transition period | 10-16 days -Brainwave patterns start to mature, no longer need anogenital stimulation, play fighting with littermates begins |
| Socialization period | 4-14 weeks -Primary (3-5 wks) and secondary period (6-12 wks.). Puppies learns specific behaviors, rate of mental development will now depend on the complexity of their environment. |
| Juvenile period | up to 6 months -Extension of the socialization period, brain waves are the same as a mature dog but the puppy is a "clean state." Age when most rapid learning occurs, greatest impact on future social behaviors. |
| Tameness vs. Domestication | tameness occurs within the animal's lifetime, domestication is a process occurring over many generations by which animals adapt to living with humans in a captive environment. Animals can be domesticated but not tame or vice versa. |
| Fear Responses | -fleeing -fighting -freezing |

| 5 Step Positive Proaction Plan | -elicit and reinforce appropriate behavior -prevent/minimize behavior -meet the pet's behavioral/developmental needs -use the "take away" method (negative punishment) to discourage -minimize discipline (positive punishment) use when necessary |
| Punishment | must occur while the animal is performing the undesirable behavior, it must occur every time the animal performs the undesirable behavior. |
| Establishing Leadership | -set clear rules for behavior -communicate the rules -consistently reward these desirable behaviors and remove rewards for undesirable behaviors. |
| Reinforcement | increases the likelihood that a behavior will occur |
| Positive Reinforcement | adding something the pet wants to increase the likelihood of the behavior |
| Negative Reinforcement | removing something aversive, increases likelihood that behavior will occur. |
| Positive Punishment | adding something aversive, decreases likelihood of behavior. |
| Negative Punishment | removing something the pet wants, decreases likelihood of behavior. |
| Feline Development | kittens go through similar development periods to dogs, but are shorter and less discrete, temperament in kittens is highly inheritable. |
| Feline Hierarchies | different than dogs, develop relationships with people that mimic kitten-mother relationships, don't guard resources as closely as dogs, don't have ritualized play or submissive behaviors, most aggressive behavior is fear based. |
| Feline Aggression | multi-cat households are prone to a variety of anxiety and stress related issues. Provide abundant resources and enough space. |
| Behavioral Health Criteria | -affectionate but not needy, friendly/tolerant to people, eliminate in regular areas, not too fearful, adapt to change, play well, not dangerous, can leave alone w/o problems, vocalize when appropriate, readily obedient, scratch-only items provided. |
| Behavioral Assessment parts | -Pet's daily routine, lifestyle, spends most time at, exercise, discipline. -early warning signs, many o's don't recognize, ask questions -behavior at the vet hospital for wellness and safety reasons. |
| Medications with Behavior Problems | oftentimes psychotropic drugs are used to treat. Must be used in conjunction with behavior modification. |
| Psychotropic | group of drugs that are used to modify an animal's behavior. |
| Threatening/Aggressive Animals | try to decrease emotional arousal with these animals, have a nonthreatening posture, offer something to relax animal. Also use minimum restraint that will keep personnel safe. |
