More than excitability And Inhibition Activity In Pet dogs

About excitability is the term used to identify almost all the trouble dogs we view, especially when they’re stressed by different surroundings, unknown people, some other dogs, cultural isolation, physical restraint, stimulation, and sudden loud noises. At the other end of the spectrum of behavioral reactivity, we see seriously inhibited pets that react to stress by total inaction or slow, stiff movements, and apparent depression, seeming to lose contact with environmental stimuli. The condition normally occurs while the pet owners sleep at night at night, or when the dogs are left alone, especially for a long period of time. The stress of being ignored, even if the owners are there, stimulates the mother to introverted behavior (self-mutilation) and stimulates the extremely excitable son toward extroverted over-activity.

Both excitability and inhibition can be increased by many herbs and synthetic drugs, as well as those extracted from living tissues. The simple fact such drug treatments do not affect all individuals (dogs or people) in the same way supports the belief that the balance among internal neurochemicals may be the primary factor influencing the behavioral expression of excitability or inhibition.
