Behavior Problems

Having trouble with your dog or cat? A little bit of advice can bring out an animal's best behavior.


Chemung County Humane Society and SPCA will help you and your pet to make your life easier!

Helping Your Dog Behave

Is your dog unruly? Do they make a mess of things and bark way too much? Do they seem to never listen?


Regardless of what type of dog you have, their behavior is learned somewhere. The good news is that new behaviors can be learned all the time with the correct reinforcement techniques.


Chemung County Humane Society and SPCA has some great resources and tips to assist with ensuring that your pet is always on their best behavior. 

Helping Your Cat

Behave


Is your cat finicky? Do they not use the litterbox? Scratch your furniture?


Has your cat been to the vet lately? Sometimes behavioral changes are due to medical reasons. Has anything changed recently in your home? Sometimes cats can be very sensitive to something new in your home such as bringing home a new baby, moving to a new home, purchasing new furniture, inviting new people over, etc.


Chemung County SPCA can help you to play detective and figure out the underlying causes to these behaviors in order to correct them.
