Abstract：要旨
Periodic canine population studies establish essential frames of reference for analyzing trends in demographics and the prevalence of problematic behaviors.
定期的な犬の個体数調査は、人口統計の傾向や問題行動の有病率を分析するために不可欠な参照枠を確立する。
An understanding of the correlations between individual behavior problems can shed light on the pathogenesis and comorbidity of various conditions. It is our hope that the results of this substantial study will help to confirm those of previous studies, provide new data about behavior problems, and, by association, help establish their etiology.
個々の行動問題の相関関係を理解することで、様々な疾患の病因や併存症に光を当てることができる。この実質的な研究の結果が、先行研究の結果を確認し、行動問題についての新たなデータを提供し、関連づけることによって、その病因の確立に役立つことを期待している。
In this study, we hosted a public, online questionnaire to capture up-to-date demographic and behavior problem metrics.
この研究では、最新の人口統計学的指標と行動問題指標を把握するために、公開オンライン・アンケートを実施した。
Surveyed problematic behaviors include fear/anxiety, aggression, jumping, excessive barking, coprophagia, obsessive-compulsive/compulsive behaviors, house soiling, rolling in repulsive materials, overactivity/hyperactivity, destructive behavior, running away/escaping, and mounting/humping.
調査対象となった問題行動には、恐怖・不安、攻撃性、飛びつき、過剰な吠え声、食糞、強迫性・強迫行為、家を汚す、汚い物の上で転がる、過剰行動・多動、破壊行動、逃走・逃避、マウンティング（腰を振る）などがある。
The study sample consisted of 4114 dogs, spanning mixed and pure breeds, submitted by 2480 dog owners. Male and female dogs were equally represented, a majority of which were neutered.
調査対象は2480名の飼い主から提供された雑種犬と純犬種からなる4114頭の犬である。
オスとメスは同数で、その大半が避妊・去勢済であった。
The prevalence of canine behavior problems was 85%. We found sex, neuter status, origin, and lineage to have a notable effect on the prevalence of behavior problems.
犬の行動問題の有病率は85％であった。
性別、去勢手術の有無、起源、血統が、行動問題の有症率に顕著な影響を及ぼすことがわかった。
We also found age, neutered status, origin, and lineage to have a notable effect on the number of behavior problems per dog.
また、年齢、去勢手術の有無、出自、血統が、1頭あたりの問題行動の数に顕著な影響を及ぼすこともわかった。
Owners were asked to provide details of any behavior problem they reported such as intensity, frequency, and situation in which the behavior problem occurred.
飼い主には報告された行動上の問題の強さ、頻度、問題が発生した状況などの詳細を記入するよう求めた。
We examined the problematic behaviors in terms of their overall prevalence, and characteristics, and computed correlations between the various behavior problems.
われわれは問題行動について、その全体的な有病率と特徴を調べ、さまざまな問題行動間の相関関係を計算した。
The findings from our study provide insight into the magnitude of owner-reported canine behavior problems encountered by owners and hopefully will encourage veterinarians to further incorporate aspects of behavior problem management into their daily work.
本研究で得られた知見は、飼い主が報告する犬の行動問題の大きさについての洞察を提供し、獣医師が行動問題管理の側面を日常業務にさらに取り入れるよう促すことを期待するものである。
