Behavior problems in companion animals are among the primary reasons for relinquishment of pets to shelters and they commonly lead to euthanasia of pets. It has been suggested that euthanasia for behavior problems occurs more commonly than for all medical reasons combined, and that behavior problems are the leading killer of pets.
In this 4-part series Dr. Emma Grigg, PhD, CAAB discusses the impact of pet behavior problems on pet owners as well as the human-animal bond. She shares tips for discussing animal behavior with owners, communicating about different types of training methods, options for dealing with pets with severe behavior problems including euthanasia, and how to support and help clients cope with the decision to euthanize a pet as a means for dealing with severe behavior problems.
