“Peran dokter hewan dalam menjaga lingkungan yang minim stres selama pemberian perawatan preventif sangat perlu ditekankan. Meskipun perawatan medis memberikan banyak manfaat, pengalaman aversif yang terkait dengan kunjungan dokter hewan dapat berdampak negatif pada kesejahteraan dan kinerja anjing kerja di masa depan. Banyak dari anjing ini memiliki tingkat mudah terangsangan yang tinggi, sehingga penggunaan pengekangan fisik minim atau penerapan dini pengekang kimiawi atau anxiolytics kini diakui sebagai standar perawatan.”

Pendekatan ini juga berlaku untuk kucing dan anjing peliharaan!

“The role of the veterinarian in maintaining a low-stress environment during delivery of preventive care cannot be over emphasized. Despite the benefits of the medical care, aversive experiences associated with veterinary visits can negatively impact the welfare and subsequent performance of the working dog. Many of these dogs are highly arousable and minimal physical restraint or early implementation of chemical restraint or anxiolytics is now recognized as standard of care.“

This approach is beneficial for cats and non working dogs too!

Bukan karena “overprotective” atau memanjakan, tapi karena ini penting untuk kesehatan fisik dan emosional hewan.

🔹 Stres bisa membuat hasil medis keliru
🔸 Perawatan kooperatif membuat hewan lebih tenang & staff klinik aman
🔹 Menghargai sinyal stres cegah trauma & agresi
🔸 Pengalaman positif membuat perawatan jangka panjang lebih lancar

Saya ingin hewan saya tetap sehat secara mental dan fisik sepanjang hidupnya.
Terima kasih dokter hewan yang sudah mendukung pendekatan yang ramah hewan ini!

Some facts (and Barbie’s additions):
🐰 Impulse rabbit purchases spike around Easter, but many are abandoned once the novelty wears off. (Just like many cats and dogs around Christmas)
🥚 Rabbits can live 8–12 years and require specialized diets, housing, and veterinary care. (Oma Barbie turned 13 this year! Taking care of an animal is a big responsibility! A lot more goes into a thriving life than just love)
🐰 They’re not ideal pets for small children—rabbits are prey animals who stress easily with loud noises and rough handling. (Children are always supervised when interacting with Barbie. Plus, Barbie isn’t a prey animal and she’s much bigger than a bunny!)
🥚 Many animal shelters pause rabbit adoptions around Easter to prevent impulsive decisions. (Oma Barbie encourages you to research the species, consider your lifestyle and environment, and evaluate if they truly fit each other before getting a bunny)

ANSWER:

No one. Not even you should be punished. Here’s why:
1. The time for effective punishment has LONG passed. If you punish now, you’re creating an association for your dog that when you come home “human may get scary and do painful things”. They will NOT associate it with what they had done, which brings us to
2. Your dog associates YOU with punishment. Sometimes. That’s an unpredictability your dog doesn’t need, and can create anxiety.
3. You don’t know WHICH dog did it. You may have a strong suspicion towards one, but you have no direct evidence. You’re not gonna punish all of them, are ya? That ain’t right. (Ok, unless you have cctv, you don’t know who. Still punishment isn’t the best way to solve it.)
4. Everything wrong with punishment! Read my past post about punishment.
5. If you do punish, you’re more likely doing it because you’re angry or for emotional release. Not to improve or address the dog’s behavior.
6. You’re punished enough by this, I’d think 😅 You might need to get a new dog bed, or sew it close if still possible. No need to punish yourself further. Things break. Just don’t break your dog or yourself.

So, what now? Well, evaluate. If this is a new behavior, consider what has changed. Is a vet examination needed? If there’s any change in the environment that may lead to this. If this is an on-going behavior, evaluate the dog’s needs. Have they been fulfilled? The need to chew? The need to feel safe and secure in her environment? The need to explore his environment? Is there an unaddressed medical issue that we don’t know yet? Is she experiencing anxiety when you leave?

I know, I know, depending on the situation there may be more questions to check. It’s almost no wonder many people go straight to punishment. “Whack! Bad dog! Done my part to train. You better learn, dog!” But our dogs deserve better than punishment. They deserve better from us.

Now, the story behind this picture..

American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) Position Statements can be found on AVSAB.org.

Humane Dog Training:
“Many methods of changing behavior in dogs are effective; however, the evidence-based veterinarian or behavior consultant should be concerned not just with what is effective but what does the least harm and produces the best long-term results.”

“Based on current scientific evidence, AVSAB recommends that only reward-based training methods are used for all dog training, including the treatment of behavior problems.”

The Use of Dominance Theory in Behavior Modification of Animals:
“The AVSAB emphasizes that the standard of care for veterinarians specializing in behavior is that dominance theory should not be used as a general guide for behavior modification. Instead, the AVSAB emphasizes that behavior modification and training should focus on reinforcing desirable behaviors, avoiding the reinforcement of undesirable behaviors, and striving to address the underlying emotional state and motivations, including medical and genetic factors, that are driving the undesirable behavior.”

Positive Veterinary Care:
“An unpleasant experience at the vet may trigger the ‘fight, flight, freeze’ response. A pet may become aggressive (fight), attempt to get away (flight), or ‘shut down’ (freeze). Patients exhibiting any of these responses are experiencing fear, even those that appear passive. It only takes one experience to trigger these responses, and lead to generalized fear affecting all future visits. Anxiety and fear lead to increased cortisol and blood glucose levels, pupil dilation, and muscle tension. Heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and temperature may all increase. These effects can hinder accurate diagnosis and lead to increased anesthetic and sedation risk. The positive veterinary experience is focused on recognizing signs of fear and anxiety, and responding to them in a way that reduces patient stress.”

Pernyataan Posisi dari American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) ada di AVSAB.org.

Pelatihan Anjing yang Berperikemanusiaan:
“Banyak metode untuk mengubah perilaku anjing yang efektif; namun, dokter hewan atau konsultan perilaku berbasis bukti seharusnya tidak hanya memperhatikan apa yang efektif, tetapi juga apa yang paling tidak menyakiti dan menghasilkan hasil jangka panjang terbaik.”

“Berdasarkan bukti ilmiah saat ini, AVSAB merekomendasikan agar hanya metode pelatihan berbasis reward yang digunakan untuk semua pelatihan anjing, termasuk penanganan masalah perilaku.”

Penggunaan Teori Dominansi dalam Modifikasi Perilaku Hewan:
“AVSAB menekankan bahwa standar perawatan untuk dokter hewan yang mengkhususkan diri dalam bidang perilaku adalah bahwa teori dominansi tidak boleh digunakan sebagai panduan umum untuk modifikasi perilaku. Sebagai gantinya, AVSAB menekankan bahwa modifikasi perilaku dan pelatihan harus difokuskan pada penguatan perilaku yang diinginkan, menghindari penguatan perilaku yang tidak diinginkan, dan berupaya untuk menangani kondisi emosional dan motivasi yang mendasari, termasuk faktor medis dan genetik, yang memicu perilaku yang tidak diinginkan.”

Perawatan Veteriner Positif:
“Pengalaman yang tidak menyenangkan di dokter hewan dapat memicu respons 'melawan, lari, diam' (fight, flight, freeze). Hewan mungkin menjadi agresif (fight), mencoba melarikan diri (flight), atau 'terdiam' (freeze). Pasien yang menunjukkan salah satu dari respons ini sedang mengalami ketakutan, bahkan yang tampak pasif sekalipun. Hanya butuh satu pengalaman untuk memicu respons ini, dan menyebabkan ketakutan umum yang mempengaruhi semua kunjungan di masa mendatang. Kecemasan dan ketakutan menyebabkan peningkatan kadar kortisol dan glukosa darah, pelebaran pupil, dan ketegangan otot. Denyut jantung, laju pernapasan, tekanan darah, dan suhu tubuh juga bisa meningkat. Efek-efek ini dapat menghalangi diagnosis yang akurat dan meningkatkan risiko anestesi dan sedasi. Pengalaman positif di dokter hewan berfokus pada pengenalan tanda-tanda ketakutan dan kecemasan, serta meresponsnya dengan cara yang mengurangi stres pasien.”
