A generic programme of behavioural modification for the clinical treatment of separation-related behaviours in dogs was assessed in a controlled replicated trial. After 12 weeks of treatment, 56 per cent of the owners of the treated dogs reported significant improvements in their dogs' behaviour, and a further 25 per cent reported a slight improvement. The owners' reports were generally supported by changes in the behaviour of the dogs as recorded on video when they were left alone. The majority of the untreated dogs continued to show the same degree of separation-related behaviour throughout the 12 weeks of the trial. In a supplementary set of 30 case studies, treated with a behavioural programme tailored to the specific diagnosis for each dog, all the owners reported improvements in their dogs' behaviour after 12 weeks of treatment.
在一项对照重复试验中，对一种用于临床治疗犬类分离相关行为的通用行为修正方案进行了评估。治疗12周后，56%接受治疗的犬只主人报告其犬只行为有显著改善，另有25%报告有轻微改善。主人的报告普遍得到了犬只独自待着时视频记录的行为变化的支持。在试验的12周内，大多数未接受治疗的犬只继续表现出相同程度的分离相关行为。在一组补充的30个案例研究中，采用针对每只犬的具体诊断量身定制的行为方案进行治疗，所有主人都报告说治疗12周后其犬只行为有改善。
