Original abstract
This study investigates the effects of canine behavioral intervention on the human-dog bond, particularly focusing on owners who perceive unwanted behaviors in their dogs. Conducted within the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Timisoara from 2023 to 2024, six dog-owner dyads were selected based on their concerns regarding their dogs' behaviors. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research included comprehensive questionnaires to assess the personality profiles and well-being of both the dogs and their owners, along with direct observations and interventions to address the identified behavioral issues. The results indicated that a significant portion of owners misattributed their dogs' behaviors to inherent personality traits, revealing a lack of understanding regarding the underlying causes. Only one owner accurately comprehended the reasons for unwanted behavior. Post-intervention evaluations demonstrated a notable increase in emotional well-being among owners, correlated with improvements in dogs’ welfare, particularly in their ability to express normal behavior and experience reduced fear.
