ASPCA Announces New Animal Behavior Lifeline
Help with Fido is on the Way
The ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) announced they will be opening the ASPCA Lifeline. The ASPCA Lifeline will be a web site resource for pet owners, trainers, animal behaviorists and veterinarians to get advice on animal behavior problems. The site is expected to launch in February of 2008.
Dr. Pamela Reid, Vice President of the ASPCA's Animal Behavior Center in Urbana, Ill., and one of the creators of the ASPCA Lifeline said, "Here at the ASPCA, we know that a pet's behavior speaks volumes. "Some animal behavior is harder to understand, so we have created the Lifeline to give pet parents, behaviorists, and veterinary professionals access to a one-stop resource for a wide variety of different animal behavior issues."
The ASPCA Lifeline will be a user-friendly site that will assist people in finding answers to a wide variety of pet behavior issues. Users will be asked to enter information about their pet such as breed, age and sex and the topic they are seeking assistance for. Lifeline will search through its' large database that is filled with expert advice, to give the users answers to reasons behind their pets behavior and suggest solutions.
The behavior Lifeline site will be available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. This will be an extremely valuable tool to pet owners. Pet owners often do not know what to do about their pets' problem behavior. Even when owners seek help from trainers and veterinarians they often get conflicting advice that does not solve the problem. Many pet owners don't know what to do and don't know where to turn for help. The ASPCA Lifeline will help owners to get reliable advice that they can trust. Pet owners will be able to get advice and solutions that work.
Unfortunately many pets are surrendered to animal shelters due to behavior problems. The ASPCA Lifeline could reduce the number of owner surrenders. The Lifeline will help owners to understand and communicate better with their pets, making happier pets and pet owners.
For 142 years, the ASPCA has been helping animals. 142 years adds up to a lot of experience that will now be available online to users.

Great resource. I did not this existed. Thanks for pointing it out and describing it for the public.
Thanks - I didn't know this resource was available for pet owners.
I think this is a great resource!
Thanks for the information! Recently our Weimie has taken to barking for no reason, it seems. Since she's an indoor dog, it can be unbearable at times. I'm beginning to think she barks to hear herself bark. The vet has no explanation. We've tried toys, extra walks to tire her out, changing her diet, ear plugs--you name it, we've tried it. I might just give the ASPCA a call.
