Q

Why is low stress handling important?

A

Shown to be more effective over the long term
Increase likelihood of animal coming back
Time

37
Q

A

You can hurt them if you use force

Adds to overall anxiety

38
Q

What alternatives do you have to using force

Try to make it a fun and positive experience

39
Q

The problem with fear

A

90% of dog owners complain dogs have some type of behavioural problem
The number one reason people take their animal to a behavioural specialist
Consistency is hugely important

40
Q

Dogs and socialization

A

Essential to socialize dogs at young age (5-9 weeks of age)

Continue socialization up to 12 weeks old, needs to be reinforced up to 6-8 months

41
Q

Domestication

A

Selective breeding of only the tamest of species/breed for many generations until they become domestic (trying to breed to gain a certain trait)

42
Q

Tameness

A

Occurs during an animals lifetime , that allows them to get used to people
Implies zero flight distance (human can approach animal without running away)

43
Q

Domestication vs tameness

A

Animals can be tame, BUT aggressive if threatened (dogs/cats in clinic)
Animals that evolved without predators are tame but domesticated (galopagos birds)

44
Q

Recognizing and handling fear in cats

A

Fear: low body position, puffed tail, Halloween cat , trembling, tense body/face, airplane ears, vocalize, puffed tail, piloerection, worried look, move away, hard eyes, fixation, raised paw, bare teeth

45
Q

No free lunch theory

A

Teaches dog self control
Needs to be consistent
Owners consistency rewards good behaviours, remove rewards (punishments) for undesirable behaviours

46
Q

Classical conditioning

A

Association of something adverse with something good
Dogs can have conditioned responses to fear (fear of vacuum)
Cats coming into clinic: carrier being brought out, cat disappears. Counter conditioning - working towards a positive interaction with the offending item

47
Q

Operant Conditioning

4 types

A

Rewarding a positive behaviour with a treat afterwards

1) positive reinforcement
2) negative reinforcement
3) positive punishment
4) negative punishment

48
Q

Positive reinforcement

A

Reward (add) for positive behaviour

Example: giving a treat when doing command/something good

49
Q

Negative reinforcement

A

Remove something adverse to continue positive behaviour

Ex: dog pulling, then owner pulls back but stops pulling as soon as dog stops pulling

50
Q

Positive punishment

A

Add something adverse to stop behaviour

Example: yelling at animal to stop behaviour

51
Q

Negative punishment

A

Remove reward to decrease behaviour
Timing has to be perfect. Tends to make behaviour worse
Example: take toys/treats away when pet is not acting right

52
Q

Behaviour modification

A
Habituation 
Flooding 
Desensitization 
Classical counterconditioning 
Operant counterconditioning
53
Q

Habituation

A

Response to the stimuli decreases with time

54
Q

Flooding

A

Bombard animal with stimulus
Not recommended
Behaviour can escalate

55
Q

Desentiziation

A

Give low level stimulus that pet won’t respond to

56
Q

Classical counterconditioning

A

Pair reward with desensitization

Example: play with feet while giving treats

57
Q

Operant counter conditioning

A

Pet trained to do incompatible behaviour when stimulus triggers bad behaviour
Example: redirection of focus from stimuli to something that dog can do to get treat while stimulus is still present

58
Q

When should you counter condition

A
For mussles 
Nail trims 
Vaccines 
Kennelling 
Car rides
59
Q

60
Q

Last 5 steps of low stress handling

A

6) wait until pet relaxed before starting a procedure
7) use minimum restraint required for animal
8) avoid prolonged fighting/struggling (3 seconds K9, 1-2 seconds cats)
