Animal Behaviorist?

Off Topic
  • I have a friend, Sandy, who has a chow mix dog, recently he has started getting territorial with her, her husband (bit him last night) and other pets over certain places in the house. She thinks he may be territorial over her with the others as well. He has started to become rather grouchy in the last 6 months but normally is social, very shy and friendly otherwise especially with her 10 year old grandson. When she tries to groom him he snaps at her (and bit her) a few weeks ago her groomer had a real struggle with him he was being very aggressive towards the groomer. Buster is 3 years old.

    I suggested getting an Animal Behaviorist but we don't know where to find one, does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks

    I hope this helps :)

  • If this is a recent change, has the dog been seen by a vet? When a dog is in pain they will often have a behavorial change and be more grouchy and not like being touched.

    @lvoss: Not supporting Eukanuba/Iams but every link on that site is an internal one and they are obviously biased and pushing an animal rights agenda. Some of the copy is over the top but data appears solid. Our western culture seems entrenched in the belief other species do not experience pain nor do they have rich emotional lives.

    Very thought provoking, Terry. I agree with Belinda, the extremists are in a different category altogether. Animals may or may not have rights in any particular city, village, or state. Thank God we have those truly dedicated, hands on advocates that speak out in the court system on behalf of those that have no words. Thank God we have people who rescue animals of all species, to nurture, return to health, re-home, or humanely put down. Thank God that I believe in a God that smiles upon animal advocates. My God lets me believe in the Rainbow Bridge. I do not put animal rights above or below human rights. To me that's mixing apples with oranges . 2 separate issues, 2 different personal views. Neither view makes me less a (Christian) human being. I believe my personal animal advocacy make me MORE a Christian, than less.

    Good for you to do this for the dogs. I always consider the dogs in shelters the lucky one. Its the ones who are homeless and living by their wits I worry so very much about.
