Use of behavioral tests as evidence of emotional consequences in a case of alleged abuse of a canine

Abstract

En la especie canina existen conductas consideradas como problemas de comportamiento, siendo la fobia una de ellas, debido a que los signos conductuales asociados a un animal temeroso interfieren con su comportamiento normal, mostrando en algunos casos inhibición conductual, reacciones de evitación y una reducción en su actividad locomotora. In the canine species there are behaviors considered as behavioral problems, phobia being one of them, because the behavioral signs associated with a fearful animal interfere with its normal behavior, showing in some cases behavioral inhibition, avoidance reactions and a reduction in their locomotor activity.
