Every pet misbehaves from time to time, but when behavior issues become part of daily life, pet owners may be wringing their hands wonder- ing how to get to the root of the problem. Pet owners may not realize they can contribute to common behav- ior issues. Here's how to recog- nize and address pets who may need some behavior redirection. • Scratching: Pet experts note that cats need to scratch as a way to remove the outer sheath of the nail. Scratching also is a way for cats to mark their territory in the wild. Provide plenty of safe and appropriate scratching posts so cats leave the furniture alone. Cordon off areas that are off limits or try sour sprays or other repel- lents. • Resource guarding: Many pets will show aggression when they guard their possessions from oth- ers, whether it is necessary or not. Pets have evolved from wild animals that had to compete for food, mates and territories, so it's understandable that genetics hasn't been so quick to catch up with the modern life of pampered pets. Pet owners can opt for adopting young pets that can be hand fed early on or touched or manipulated while eating or en- joying food treats to try to prevent guarding. Older pets who exhibit signs of resource guarding may need the expertise of a Certifi ed Applied Animal Behaviorist. • Inappropriate urination: Just when you think your dog is house trained or a cat has embraced its litter box, you may fi nd he or she is urinating elsewhere. Physical illnesses, such as kidney issues or diabetes, could be the root of the problem. Some animals that are not neutered or spayed may be engaging in "marking" be- havior, which is spreading scent around a territory. Getting the pet fi xed can alleviate the problem. Speak with a vet fi rst to rule out certain issues. • Barking: Barking to alert some- one is at the home may be a trait people look for in a dog. But when a dog's barking becomes exces- sive, it could be indicative of a be- havioral issue. Dogs may learn to use barking to their benefi t. Some dogs may bark to get walks, food or attention — even if it's negative attention from a person saying "shush." Some breeds naturally bark more than others. In such in- stances, barking may be reduced but not entirely eliminated. Again, a behaviorist may be able to help. • Jumping up or overzealous greetings: Similar to barking, some pets greet all visitors to the home (or outside) by jumping up on people. This can be annoy- ing and even dangerous if a big animal jumps on a small person. Reward calm behavior by only giving attention to the pet after he or she calms down. Lavishing at- tention on an animal as soon as you come home while it is jump- ing up sets a bad precedent and can lead to a jumping problem. These are a few common pet behaviors pet owners may need to address to cohabitate peace- fully with their animals. 110 Grigg St., Shelby, NC (At J.B.
