Anxious and destructive dog

What behavioral problems can occur?

Behavioral disorders can have two distinct origins: Medical in origin — linked to a pathology, an injury, or the development of a disease. In this case, only a visit to a veterinarian—or even better, to a veterinary behaviorist—can establish an accurate diagnosis and prescribe an appropriate treatment. Behavioral in origin — linked to the expression of anxiety, a lack of structure or reference points, or poor communication within the dog’s immediate environment. In this situation, the issue falls within the scope of education and the human–dog relationship. A visit from a canine behaviorist and trainer will help analyze the underlying causes and propose practical, tailored solutions. Ideally, this assessment should take place in the very context where the behavior occurs, or at least within the dog’s usual living environment, in order to fully understand all contributing factors.

Monitoring your dog’s weight: an essential reflex for their health!

How can you tell if your dog is overweight—or, on the contrary, lacking body reserves? Some dogs are very food-motivated and will quickly let you know if you forget a meal. Others are less interested in food and may easily skip feeding time. Monitoring a dog’s weight can therefore feel like a real challenge, even though it is essential for their energy levels and overall health, particularly for their joints. Here are a few key indicators and practical tips to help you keep track of your dog’s weight and maintain a healthy balance.

Electric shock collar: a good idea or an educational illusion?

Dog training is far from being an easy task. Without the right tools and guidance, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. How can we help a dog understand that certain behaviors are inappropriate—or even forbidden? For many years now, electric shock collars have emerged as a supposed solution. Based on the same principle as electric fences used to contain cattle or sheep, some argue: why couldn’t this also work for dogs? However, the dog—being much closer to humans and endowed with strong communication abilities—does not function in the same way as other animal species. Its learning mechanisms, emotional sensitivity, and relationship to humans are fundamentally different. Here, I will present simple, common-sense arguments showing why the use of this type of tool is not a good idea at all, neither for effective education nor for the well-being of the dog.
