Pet behavior
Our pets usually make good companions and become valued and much-loved members of the family. However, it is important to socialize and train them from the beginning and also to provide a consistent and secure environment in which they understand what acceptable behavior is and what is not. The personality and breed of your pet also needs to be taken into account in order to understand behavior and habits in context and to work with your pet’s strengths in order to encourage good behavior.
It is important to try to understand, if possible, why your pet is behaving the way he is. For instance, some breeds of pets such as border collies, are naturally more highly strung than others. Border collies are typically bred as working dogs so if instead they are kept as pets their owners need to be aware that they need lots of exercise and attention.
Other factors that can need to be taken into consideration include boredom, lack of stimulation, an inadequate diet (especially one with too much protein), allergies, stress, lack of attention and/or lack of exercise.
Recent environmental changes to the environment such as introducing a new pet or a new person to the home, moving house or even a new, particularly high-pitched doorbell can also be a factor. Pets may feel insecure and fearful and "act out". This all helps to illustrate the importance of learning to understand your pet and the context of the environment, as well as dynamics in the family which all contribute to forming your pet’s behavior.
The natural way: Tips for owners
What else can I do to help my pet?
- Regular exercise is essential. High energy pets need a natural outlet for their energy and exhaustion can have a dramatically calming effect on a too active animal! Plus, exercise has been shown to have a mood-stabilizing, calming effect.
- Ensure your pet is eating a balanced, high quality diet with plenty of raw and unprocessed food (preferably organic). Behavioral issues can often be related to food intolerances and an inadequate diet. A diet that is too high in protein can also be a factor. If in doubt, please consult your vet.
- Avoid exposure to toxins and chemicals as much as possible including pesticides, herbicides, commercial flea collars, flea powder, insecticides and second-hand cigarette smoke. Also make sure that food and water bowls are made of glass, stainless steel or porcelain. Cook food in stainless-steel pans, not aluminum or copper pans
- Don't feed your pet chocolate as even a small amount can be toxic
- Use PetAlive PetCalm to immediately soothe a highly-strung pet.
- Instead of reacting to your pet's bad behavior, try ignoring it and leaving the room -- the idea being to eliminate any attention-seeking efforts on their behalf. A pet behaviorist will give you further advice and ideas.
- Take note of particular stressors in your pet's environment that may be causing problems (particularly recent changes) and take whatever steps are feasible to minimize them.
- Ensure that your home is a secure environment where your pet feels safe.
- As a last resort, neutering or spaying may also have a calming effect on your pet.
- Natural remedies have a long history of providing safe and effective solutions. The correct choice can make all the difference!

He behaves like a toy that you wind up in the morning and goes goes goes till he falls asleep at night (which doesn't last long!) ………….. Your remedy seems to have made him more passive and even affectionate at last. It is almost as if he is also breathing a sigh of relief because he can relax for the first time. Yesterday I found him napping in the sun which I have never seen before. I am very impressed with this remedy”
