| Abstract: Given the widespread prevalence of social media and online continuing education programs, it's evident that awareness regarding behavioral problems in companion animals has grown. Nevertheless, there's been a proliferation of uniform case interpretations and standardized treatment and advice within the community of medical providers (e.g., veterinarians) and dog trainers. While these approaches serve as effective preventive measures, they may not always be suitable for treatment. In this lecture, we will delve into real cases, drawing from research papers and study results, in order to enhance our comprehension of the diverse nature of clinical cases. Developing a thorough understanding of case differentiation and the range of choices and limitations in treatment options is likely to contribute to further enhancements of our knowledge. |

| Target Audience: Animal trainers, animal behavior therapists, dog research scientists |
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the presentation, participants will be able to: (1) Describe examples of case diversity; (2) Identify common pitfalls in uniformed treatment plans; (3) Discuss multimodal treatment plans |
