How to Help People Resolve Some Common Behavior Problems and Keep Their Pets

All shelters need to be able to provide the public with useful information on how to resolve common behavior problems in cats and dogs. When people get frustrated with their pet's behavior, their bond suffers, and if they can't figure out how to deal with the issue, they may feel that their only option is to surrender their pet to the shelter.

This talk reviews the most common behavior problems in dogs and cats and provides practical advice that can be shared with the pet owner to help keep pets in their homes. This presentation was given at the Maddie's® Pet Project "Saving Nevada's Pets" conference and made possible by the Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation and supported by Maddie's Fund.

Presenter: Kelly Bollen, DVM
