These therapies are for human patients only and can not be a substitute for a proper training or prepping. They consider the psychology of the pet in its interaction with the owner, considering the respective influences.
The following descriptions are indicative and cannot be used to validate a self-diagnosis. If you recognize yourself in these symptoms, further testing and a deeper analysis of the problem and its environment are needed.

Aging, illness, or accident: from the moment we adopt a companion animal, we know that we will inevitably face its loss. Nevertheless, when that moment arrives, we are never truly prepared to confront it. The deep attachment developed over the years can make this ordeal particularly difficult to overcome. The decision to euthanize often represents a heartbreaking moment: an appointment we postpone, dread, or about which we harbor regrets (guilt over having made this decision, feeling we were not up to the task, etc.). Daily life is then marked by absence, shared routines giving way to a difficult void to fill. Those around us, though empathetic, do not always have the resources to adequately support this grieving process. CBT can be beneficial on several levels: emotionally preparing for this milestone in order to experience this moment with serenity and without feelings of abandonment, or accompanying a complex grieving process that deserves to be recognized and respected in its legitimacy.
When adopting an animal, it is not uncommon to observe problematic behaviors related to a difficult past: hygiene issues, separation anxiety, avoidance behavior, phobic reactions towards other animals, humans, or certain environmental stimuli. Furthermore, it sometimes occurs that the animal displays appropriate behavior in a training context but manifests significant difficulties in its domestic environment. When any physiological cause (pain, pathology, urinary disorders, etc.) has been ruled out through veterinary examination, a behavioral therapeutic approach may prove relevant. This approach takes into account the animal's living environment as well as the quality of its interactions with its human caregivers, drawing upon its fundamental psychological needs and an ethological understanding of its species. This process aims to restore mutual trust between the animal and its owners, while promoting its emotional and behavioral balance.
