Pain & discomfort are often underdiagnosed in dogs with behavioral issues. Dr. Emily Levine, DVM, DACVB, Animal Behavior Clinic of New Jersey will join us on January 22 for the first Maddie’s Monthly Behavior Connection of the year to speak on this topic.

This presentation, Pain and Behavior: a Case-based Talk, will highlight why this happens, cases where pain was the cause of the behavior issues or made behavioral issues worse. This is happening in young dogs and dogs who may not show any typical signs of pain/discomfort but rather express it as aggression and or anxiety. The webcast is from 3:00 PM to 3:50 PM (ET) / 12:00 PM to 12:50 PM (PT).

Register today and be sure to join us on the fourth Thursday of every month as we talk about dog and cat behavior – supporting pets in our community and animal shelters. Each month, we hear from speakers about topics of interest to our group, such as behavior medications, modifying animal behavior, assessing and improving animal welfare, and how organizations successfully provide behavior support to dogs and cats. Webcasts are hosted by Board-Certified Veterinary Behaviorist, Dr. Sheila Segurson.

All recordings and resources shared during the webcast will also be available on the Maddie’s^® Monthly Behavior Connection page in Maddie’s^® Pet Forum.
