## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability petpulse-behavior-training-guide-07c977e9
```

Example prompt: My 3-year-old Labrador has bad separation anxiety — she barks and destroys things when I leave. Can you give me a force-free, positive-reinforcement plan to help her, and let me know if I should be seeing a certified behaviorist?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a pet owner or trainer agent needs actionable, force-free behavioral guidance for common dog or cat issues. It is ideal when the user wants step-by-step training steps with realistic timelines and knows when to escalate to a professional, rather than a generic web search. Prefer this over symptom-checker endpoints when the concern is behavioral rather than medical, and over a general LLM response when you want structured, evidence-aligned, positive-reinforcement methodology with explicit professional-referral thresholds.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'species' or 'issue' query parameters returns a 400 error
- Unsupported species or unrecognized behavior issue string may return a generic or empty response
- Service downtime on Vercel hosting may cause 503 errors
- Ambiguous or misspelled issue strings may not map to known behavior categories
- Rate limiting or payment validation failure (x402) may block access

## How this service works

Dog and cat behavior and training guide for pet-owner and trainer agents. Returns force-free, positive-reinforcement step-by-step guidance for behavior issues (separation anxiety, leash reactivity, litter box avoidance, destructive chewing, aggression, and more) worldwide, with honest timelines and red flags for when a certified behaviorist or veterinarian is needed. Pet-info guide, not a veterinary or clinical behavioral diagnosis.

## Output

A structured step-by-step force-free training plan tailored to the specified species, behavior issue, and pet age, including positive-reinforcement techniques, realistic timelines for improvement, and explicit red flags indicating when a certified veterinary behaviorist or veterinarian should be consulted instead. Response is informational, not a clinical diagnosis.
