2 The single biggest killer of pets is not infectious disease, it is behavioral problems. Karen Overall, VMD, Ph.D. (1996) October 21-23,
3 Behavior Problems! Prevent: " What does the animal need to nurture appropriate behavior?! Treat: " Non-Confrontational vs Punitive? " Reward Based vs Fear Based?! Manage: " If you can t fix it can you manage it safely (e.g. avoiding triggers)? October 21-23,
4 Preventing Behavioral Problems " Early exposure to men, women, children, animals, and other environmental stimuli. " Sustained aerobic physical exercise: Highenergy dogs on a regular exercise program are more likely to be calm and better behaved. " Plenty of behavioral enrichment and mental stimulation. " Avoid painful walking and training equipment (e.g. choke chains). " Seek professional help at the onset of a behavioral issue, not the 11 th hour. Behavior Problems Associated with Inadequate Socialization Fearful or aggressive to unfamiliar people Inappropriate social behavior Fearful or aggressive reaction to harmless or inanimate stimuli Unable to generalize attachments to others Inhibited or hyperactive in new situations Reluctant to approach unfamiliar people, if forced, may be aggressive October 21-23,
5 Puppy Vaccination and Socialization Should Go Together Robert K. Anderson, DVM!

Maximize exposure to novelty including different: people, animals, environmental stimuli, substrates October 21-23,
6 Early Handling Husbandry Training All youngsters should be taught to: accept handling and restraint direct play biting to toys enjoy having people involved in eating, chewing, and playing with toys.
