The Role of Positive Reinforcement Training in Veterinary Practice The Silent Language: How AI is Decoding Animal

4.1 Canine Behavioral Problems

• Separation anxiety: Destructive behavior, vocalization, house soiling only when owner absent. Rule out other causes of distress (e.g., gastrointestinal disease, pain).
• Aggression (owner-directed, stranger-directed, or inter-dog): Requires thorough medical workup (pain, hypothyroidism, neurologic lesions) before behavioral diagnosis.
• Noise phobias (thunder, fireworks): Panting, hiding, trembling, escape behavior. Treatment includes desensitization, counter-conditioning, and sometimes short-term anxiolytics (e.g., trazodone, alprazolam, or Sileo for dogs).
• Compulsive disorders: Tail chasing, light snapping, flank sucking. May respond to environmental enrichment and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like fluoxetine.
