CBCC-KA EVALUATION 2026 EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+
✔✔how could the transition period affect dog behavior? - ✔✔improper socialization to
litter mates could result in improper play behaviors
✔✔How could the socialization period (sensitive period) affect adult dog behavior? -
✔✔Insufficient socialization during sensitive period associated w/inc. reports of
aggression towards strangers; if you don't expose your dog to certain stimulus, they're
likely to be in fear of it, thus causing a response that many be seen as aggressive to the
untrained eye.
✔✔functional analysis - ✔✔an analysis of the purposes (functions) of problem behavior,
wherein antecedents and consequences representing those in the person's natural
routines are arranged within an experimental design so that their separate effects on
problem behavior can be observed and measured
** involves the systematic manipulation of environmental contingencies
✔✔How would you assess the physical condition of a dog in relevance to their
training/behavior? - ✔✔1. Are they acting this way because they are in pain?
2. Are they acting this way because something is wrong internally (UTI, infection, etc.)
3. Are they uncomfortable due to lack of nourishment
4. Do they have pain/immobility &will need a modified training plan
✔✔In dog anatomy the term "caudal" refers to what direction? - ✔✔Towards the tail end
of the body or the back of the head.
✔✔Name the terms of position and direction - ✔✔Dorsal, birds eye view
caudal,
left, - left lateral
Ventral, - upside down
Rostral,
Right,
cranial - facing towards face of dog
✔✔Systematic desensitization is frequently used to help a dog with - ✔✔territorial
barking
✔✔What happens in the prenatal period that could affect the behavior of a dog later in
life? - ✔✔Stressed mom releases hormones, offspring exposed to sufficiently high
levels in utero display higher stress sensibility later in life.
✔✔Best describe the overall steps of the scientific method? - ✔✔1. construct hypothesis
, 2. do background research
3. test w/ an experiment
4. analyze data
5. draw conclusions &communicate results
✔✔What is the difference between a hormone and a phermone? - ✔✔Hormones are
produced by an organism and act on tissue within the host body.
Phermones are produced by an organism and released into environment & act on other
organisms outside the host body.
✔✔What is SOAP? - ✔✔S- Subjective
O-Objective
A- Asssessment
P-Plan
**used for behavior/temperament evaluation
✔✔Which of the following systems regulate biological homeostasis? - ✔✔Autonomic
✔✔Humane Hierarchy of dog training - ✔✔1. health, nutrition, and physical setting
2. antecedents arrangements
3. positive reinforcement
4. differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors
5.extinction, neg. reinf., neg. punishment
6. LAST RESORT positive punishment
✔✔Hormones modify behavior by affecting different body systems. Which is NOT a way
that hormones influence behavior?
a. sensory and/or perceptual mechanisms
b.development or activity of the central nervous system
c. influence muscles important in the execution of behavior
d. enhance operant learning - ✔✔d. enhance operant learning
✔✔Choose the best order of implementation when using Positive Reinforcement to
change behaivor:
A. See the target behavior, immediately reward, monitor results
B. Define the target behavior, select appropriate reinforcers, immediately reward with
the reinforcer, monitor results
C. Define target behavior, randomly reward the target behavior, monitor results
