The trade

The behaviorist term was deposited with INPI by CHANTON Michel in 1996

It s´agit above all d´un specialist which works starting from the relation man-animal.

It has an activity of diagnosis and treatment the behavioral and cognitive level.

In its d´action field, it will need d´une formation and knowledge in two scientific disciplines: l ethology and psychology.

Why the relations between a family and their dog of company worsen do sometimes?

The familiar dog is integrated in a so narrow way into the family, that often the members of this one mean unconsciously with the dog, qu´ils forgot that their dog… is a dog! C´est-with-to say a social animal - as us who lives in group, according to specific rules to its species.

Sometimes, these rules, which are those of two different species, coincide more or less, but it also happens that the roles allotted to the dog, like “family member”, place it in a situation total d´incompréhension, d´ambiguïté. Generating situations, inter alia, of double constraints, d´anxiété, which can lead the dog to produce answers which are not those awaited by the family; what increases the tension and deteriorates d´autant the relations more.

The work of the behaviorist is comparable with that d´un mediator. By having a description as broad as possible lifestyle of the dog, and its relation with the family, it can help to restore a comprehensible situation for l´animal. L´action of the behaviorist is founded on his knowledge in various scientific disciplines, in particular:

L Ethology (human and animal), and especially the knowledge of the behaviors of the dog, its social codes and communication, but also of the particular case of the familiar dog, in its contemporary “use”, the dog of company. The Psychology, of which a “systemic” branch known as, according to which any group constitutes a system, whose each element influences the others. And this applying to the relations man-dog.

Like that is practiced in family therapy, one considers that the family, the group in which saw the dog, can, well involuntarily, to constitute a pathogenic system by the constraints qu´il implies for l´animal. Which n´est not therefore a " delinquent, sociopathe, or sick mental".

Your dog n´a need neither d´être drawn up, nor d´être doped, but INCLUDED/UNDERSTOOD, which will enable him to better include/understand you.

The d activity field of the behaviorist

- Its social role:

The behaviorist has a social role, in particular in the field of the prevention; he can bring an invaluable help to the various communities: official, regional, communal, thus qu´aux schools and associations.

Lastly, it can bring its assistance in l application of the law concerning the races of dogs known as " dangerous ".

- Its role near the private individuals:

Its competence to inform and prevent the situations at the risk places the behaviorist as interlocutor prévilégié within the framework of the relation between the family and the familiar dog. Sometimes, the relation between the dog and the family can degrade themselves. The behaviorist allows to include/understand and implement solutions adapted to the difficulties encountered with sonanimal familiar.

This is why it is advisable to consult a veterinary surgeon to draw aside any problem involved in an organic disease.
