Date: Thursday, March 9, 2023 at 12noon Pacific / 2pm Central / 3pm Eastern

The presenters will discuss the results of their recent publication concerning optimal treatments for various canine behavior issues related to fear and anxiety. In a previous study, they showed that 44% of all dogs have one or more of such issues, so treatment of these problems, ranging from separation anxiety, to storm and noise phobia, to generalized anxiety and PTSD, should be of wide interest. They will detail the odds of improvement in individual problems of this nature that are treated by different types of professionals, along with the programs and techniques they employ, and the success of each.

Viewers will:

  • Learn which behavior professional to consult for the best chance of success with each individual fear and anxiety behavior problem
  • The best behavior modification techniques to be employed for each problem
  • Optimal supportive and managemental measures
  • The likely success or failure of different treatments for each problem, including which medical interventions might help, and whether nutraceuticals and dietary measures might help

After the webcast, join the discussion on Maddie’s® Pet Forum.

These one-hour webinars will be recorded and have been pre-approved for 1.0 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credits by The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement and by the National Animal Care & Control Association.

This webcast has also been submitted (but not yet approved) for 1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions which recognize RACE approval.
