TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Diagnosis and treatment of destructive behavior in dogs JO - Veterinary clinics of North America. Small animal practice A1 - Lindell, E. M. SP - 533 EP - 547 VL - 27 IS - 3 N2 - Destructive behavior in dogs can be expensive for owners and life-threatening for dogs. The human-companion animal bond is jeopardized. A diagnostic plan should address both behavioral and medical causes of destructive behavior. Once a diagnosis has been established, a successful therapeutic plan can be formulated. Treatment includes modification of both behavior and environment and may incorporate the judicious use of psychotropic medication.
