Cocky $5.17 Detroit-bred rocker/rapper Kid Rock has reason to be “cocky,” as 1998’s multiplatinum Devil Without a Cause established the multifaceted artist with the Southern rock influences as a generally likable braggart able to back up his boasts musically. Rock’s Twisted Brown Trucker backup band also spawned a successful solo career for DJ Uncle Kracker, who wrote songs for–but whose turntables aren’t on…

Schindler’s List [VHS] $3.94 Steven Spielberg had a banner year in 1993. He scored one of his biggest commercial hits that summer with the mega-hit Jurassic Park, but it was the artistic and critical triumph of Schindler’s List that Spielberg called “the most satisfying experience of my career.” Adapted from the best-selling book by Thomas Keneally and filmed in Poland with an emphasis on absolute authenticity, Spielberg’s ma…

Braveheart [VHS] $1.45 A stupendous historical saga, Braveheart won five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director for star Mel Gibson. He plays William Wallace, a 13th-century Scottish commoner who unites the various clans against a cruel English King, Edward the Longshanks (Patrick McGoohan). The scenes of hand-to-hand combat are brutally violent, but they never glorify the bloodshed. There is such enormous sco…

Scotch Transparent Duct Tape, 2 Inches x 20 Yards, Clear (2120-A) $4.66 It’s not often the word revolutionary can be associated with duct tape, that old, sticky standby used in plumbing repairs, hockey stick augmentation, and homeland security protection. By getting the gray out–and avoiding the “sore thumb” look of typical duct tape repairs–3M’s Scotch Transparent Duct Tape can indeed lay claim to a revolution of the toolbox. But seeing through it is just the start…

Determination and Treatment of Dog Behavior Problems

The root of dog behavior problems can either be of medical or behavioral nature, at times, both. The dogs clinical history, a physical examination and/or diagnostic testing the underlying causes contributing to the problem.

Some behavioral causes of dog behavior problems can be any change in the dogs environment such as having a new person to interact with or moving. Training, more specifically with regards to reinforcement and punishment, can also play a role. Its the method of training that can either stop or allow the continuation of the problem. Medical causes are ones that are the most difficult to improve on for they may be genetic factors that determine the dogs response to stimuli. The dogs environment during its most sensitive periods of development, the lack of stimulation, exposure, socialization and stressful events can also have an impact on the dogs behavior.

In order to put a stop to dog behavior problems, there are several ways to determine the underlying cause of them. Behavioral causes can be determined using the dogs history. An in depth analysis of the medical and behavioral past including the training of the dog would prove to be helpful. However, a diagnosis of a behavioral cause can only be done after all medical factors, such as age and a physical examination have been proven to not be a cause.

A decline in any of the senses, organ failure, hormonal diseases and any other disease that might cause any pain or discomfort are medical causes of dog behavior problems. Determining if the behavior is due to a medical problem, the assessment of clinical history and a physical examination are used. It would be helpful if any and all behavioral or medical changes that have occurred are detailed. Based on what is reported and the results of the examination, neurological examination or sensory testing may be performed. Other more comprehensive tests may only be done by specialists.

Once the cause of any dog behavior problems is determined, treatment to stop it can be done. Before beginning any therapy for it, any medical issue that has been diagnoses must first be treated. A change in diets or issuing a drug may be important in differentiating between a medical or behavioral cause. If a tumor is diagnosed or if a high sexual behavior is noted, surgery is an option for treatment.

A veterinarian can begin treatment of dog behavior problems for any long standing problems. Do not treat dogs with any so-called natural remedies or supplements like herbal remedies, homeopathic remedies and therapeutic touch and acupuncture. There are no studies that show if any of these types of treatments are actually effective. Although the same can be said for most drugs used in treatment, these have been proven to be effective in human behavior therapy. Be smart in choosing how to go about any problems and treat dogs the right way.

Have you researched your pure bred dog’s history of origin?

I am asking this question because of all the harsh or rude answers given for questions concerning mutts. The AKC name keeps coming up so I felt that everyone needed to have the link to the AKC so they can find their preferred breed and its history link to see what breeds it took to make that ‘Pure Bred’ dog you love so much. A kennel club is like an equine (horse) club they breed for quality and better traits of these animals. They are like scientists trying to achieve the best results with a breed they felt could be improved by adding another breed’s traits.
Please check your breed and just think for a few minutes about what your breed was called before it was AKC recognized as a pure breed.
It was a- MUTT!!!!!!!!!

http://www.akc.org/breeds/breeds_a.cfm

And that’s why we love them because those breeders worked hard to create a dog breed that you could enjoy and appreciate. My personal favorites are Chihuahuas and Redbone Hounds.

The difference, however, is that pure breds were created with a specific purpose and design in mind. Mutts are not.

The reason we study our breed’s history is so that we can better understand what the original creators had in mind, and can better apply the standard. It’s not enough to know the standard, we must know WHY the basset is required to have short legs and heavy bone, WHY the ears must reach past the nose, WHY the skin is loose and elastic, and how much is too much. When you understand your breed’s purpose and history, when you’ve seen them doing the job they were bred for, it helps you to breed better dogs.

Knowing the breed’s history and purpose also helps you to understand your dog’s behavioral quirks. Bassets are not Labradors are not Shelties. They each think and behave in ways dictated by their purpose.
