Dog & Cat Behavior Concerns

Behavior challenges can feel overwhelming—but many are fixable with the right structure, patience, and support. You’re not alone in this.

Before You Give Up

Reach out before making a final decision. Many behavior challenges can improve with the right plan, routine, enrichment, and support.

Dog Behavior

  • Jumping / leash pulling
  • Chewing or destructive behavior
  • Separation-related stress
  • Reactivity toward people or dogs
  • Resource guarding

Cat Behavior

  • Litter box issues
  • Scratching furniture
  • Hiding or fear
  • Overstimulation or biting
  • Spraying or marking

Start Here

1. Rule out medical issues with your veterinarian.
2. Create a consistent daily routine.
3. Focus on positive reinforcement.
4. Increase enrichment, exercise, and mental stimulation.
5. Ask for help early—don’t wait until it escalates.

Safety First

If a pet has injured someone or another animal, or behavior is escalating, safety comes first. Separate the pet from the situation and seek professional guidance.
