Abstract

In these days, it is serious problem to inappropriately eliminate in the home. There are many reasons why a pet might eliminate in the home. A ten-month-old, female, Jindo dog with a history of inappropriate elimination was presented to the Animal Behavior Clinic at the College of Veterinary Medicine, Gyeongsang National University. This problem was diagnosed by submissive and excitement urination based on the questionnaires and interviews on the dog with the owner. Behavioral modifications including ignorance and counterconditioning were recommended to improve the clinical signs. After two weeks following the initial consultation, submissive and excitement urination of the dog was alleviated, and after four months, it resolved completely, to the owner's satisfaction.
