What does “behavioral issues” mean in a pet profile?
When you set up a pet profile, you’ll see a section asking about behavioral issues. This helps Yourgi Pros understand your pet’s needs and provide safe, appropriate care.
Behavioral issues may include:
- Aggression: Growling, snapping, or biting toward people or other animals.
- Reactivity: Lunging, barking excessively, or pulling on the leash when around triggers (other dogs, strangers, cars, etc.).
- Anxiety or Stress Behaviors: Separation anxiety, destructive chewing, pacing, constant whining, accidents indoors.
- Fearfulness: Hiding, cowering, refusing to walk, or being overly sensitive to sounds or environments.
- Resource Guarding: Protecting food, toys, or spaces by growling or snapping.
- Other Concerns: Any repeated behavior that might affect the safety or comfort of the pet, the Pro, or other animals.
Why it matters:
- Sharing behavioral issues helps Yourgi Pros prepare properly (e.g., using the right equipment, allowing extra time, or avoiding certain environments).
- Being honest ensures your pet is matched with the right Pro who can handle their needs safely.
- It keeps everyone safe and comfortable — your pet, your Pro, and others around them.
