AAVSB Veterinary Technician National Sample Questions:
1. A client comes to you requesting behavioral advice for her two-year-old FS mixed-breed dog. The dog used to be fine with plastic grocery bags and has suddenly become petrified. The owner lives in a small studio apartment with an alcove. The dog is crated when she's not home. However, since the fear of grocery bags started, the dog will tremble in the crate if she has to bring in the groceries. If she puts the bag down to let the dog out of the crate, she will not come out until the groceries are put away, the bags are out of sight, and the owner settles on the couch. The owner asks you about desensitization training.
Which of the following describes a component of desensitization training?
A) The animal's response to the same stimulus decreases in intensity over time
