Previous researchers stated that dog behavior is influenced by many factors such as place / origin, the environment, food, and training. No exception the dog's aggressiveness can be influenced by management system of the owner. This study took a sample of dogs from different places, namely from the hilly places in the Kintamani highlands and from urban Denpasar. As a result of different places and management will have an impact on different behaviors / aggressiveness. Also many previous studies have shown a relationship between serotonin (SrO) levels and the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO) on dog aggressiveness (Amat et al., 2013; Alberghina et al., 2016). The purpose of this study was to determine levels of serotonin and MAO in Balinese kinmani dogs from different origins (Bangli highlands and lowlands Denpasar Bali) Indonesia. For this purpose, we used forty dogs, 15 male dogs and 25 female dogs were used in this study. The cross-sectional design of observational research is used in observation and sampling techniques. The results showed that the average level of serotonin in dogs from Kintamani hill, male 240.2 ng/mL, SD 46.5, female 265.4, SD 38.2 and from Denpasar, male 273 ng/mL, SD 34.3, female 297.5 ng/mL, SD 45.9. The average level of monoamin oxidase respectively dog from Kintamani hill: male 3.4 ng/mL, SD 0.39, female 5.07 ng/mL, SD 0.39, and from Denpasar: male 4.63 ng/mL, SD 1.90, female 4.75 ng/mL, SD 1.28.
