About Vet Psychiatry with Dr Sagi Denenberg

Is your dog or cat growling, biting, hiding, or falling apart when you leave the house? If training hasn't worked, or you suspect pain, anxiety, or something medical is behind the behavior, you're in the right place. Dr. Sagi Denenberg is a veterinary behaviorist who looks past the behavior itself to find what's actually driving it, medical, emotional, and environmental, before deciding what to do next. New episodes on dog and cat aggression, anxiety, compulsive behaviors, separation-related distress, and the early warning signs most owners miss before things escalate. If your pet's behavior has stopped making sense to you, start here. Dr. Sagi Denenberg, DVM, Dip. ACVB, Dip. ECAWBM

   Dog Won’t Listen? Stop Trying To Be The Alpha

   📌 Learn how Dr. Denenberg works with dog and cat behavior cases here: https://www.denenbergvetmed.com Your dog is not plotting to take over the house. That couch growl, that ignored command, that pulling on leash, none of it means what you think it means. The alpha theory sounds simple, but it sends most owners in exactly the wrong direction. In this video, I'm going to break down why the alpha and dominance explanation is outdated, what is really happening when your dog seems to ignore you, ...

   Veterinary Psychiatrist Warns: Hyperactive Dog? Stop Doing This

   📌 Learn how Dr. Denenberg works with dog and cat behavior cases here: https://www.denenbergvetmed.com If your dog seems impossible to tire out, stop trying to tire him out. That advice sounds backwards, but exhausted dogs who still pace, bark, and react to every sound are not proof that exercise is working. Sometimes more activity just builds a fitter, more wound up dog who cannot switch off. In this video, I'm going to explain why exhaustion is not the same as calm, and show you exactly what...

   📌 Learn how Dr. Denenberg works with dog and cat behavior cases here: https://www.denenbergvetmed.com Your dog paces when you grab your keys. He whines by the door. You come home to a chewed door frame or a message from your neighbor about howling. It looks exactly like separation anxiety. But some of the most common advice for this problem can actually make your dog worse, and treating the wrong issue wastes months. In this episode, I'm going to break down why barking, destruction, and acc...

   What No One Tells You About Rehoming or Euthanizing an Aggressive Dog

   📌 Learn how Dr. Denenberg works with dog and cat behavior cases here: https://www.denenbergvetmed.com When your dog becomes aggressive, every choice can feel awful. Keep him and you worry someone will get hurt. Rehome him and you fear you are just passing the problem to someone else. Consider euthanasia and it feels like giving up on the dog you promised to protect. In this episode, I'm going to walk you through the exact questions I use to help families think clearly before making any of t...

   Before You Hire Another Dog Trainer for Aggression, Do This First

   📌 Learn how Dr. Denenberg works with dog and cat behavior cases here: https://www.denenbergvetmed.com If your dog is still aggressive after working with a trainer, hiring another trainer is not automatically the right next step. Many dogs I see have already been through several trainers, more corrections, more exposure work, and the aggression is still there. The problem may not be the trainer. It may be that nobody figured out what is actually driving the behavior. In this episode, I'm goi...

   The #1 Mistake People Make With an Aggressive Dog

   📌 Learn how Dr. Denenberg works with dog and cat behavior cases here: https://www.denenbergvetmed.com Three dogs can growl, lunge, or snap in almost the same way and need completely different treatment. One may need behavior modification, one may need medical treatment, and the third may need both. The number one mistake owners make is trying one training technique after another without ever figuring out why the aggression is happening in the first place. In this episode, I'm going to show ...

   The Early Warning Signs of Dog Aggression Most Owners Miss

   📌 Learn how Dr. Denenberg works with dog and cat behavior cases here: https://www.denenbergvetmed.com Most dogs do not bite without warning. The problem is that the early signs rarely look like aggression at all. They can look like kisses, closeness, or even protectiveness. In this episode, I'm going to break down the early warning signs of dog aggression that most owners miss, using a real case where a family thought their dog's aggression appeared overnight, when he had actually been warn...
