Enrichment of the home and kennel environments should aim to maximize quality of life. Ensure that the environment supports natural species-specific behaviors. Remember that the environment is both social and physical. Encourage owners, and staff at boarding or research facilities to consider social and physical enrichment of the environment as a priority.
The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) is concerned about the propensity of various communities’ reliance on breed-specific legislation as a tool to decrease the risk and incidence of dog bites to humans. The AVSAB’s position is that such legislation—often called breed-specific legislation (BSL)−is ineffective, and can lead to a false sense of community safety as well as welfare concerns for dogs identified (often incorrectly) as belonging to specific breeds.
