We take our dogs to the field on a long line to track, work off their genetic
hard wired tendencies. Our dogs are prone to anxiety, and we do use as Cesar
suggests the RELAX formula in Cesar's line at Petco. It contains L=theanine that
has proven to work very will with autistic children, and as it is an amino acid,
works well with the dogs. I wouldn't be without it.

I also use Louise's ABFE, emergency essence for anxiety in their water. Cesar
suggests engaging the nose, so we do have the DAP (dog appeasing pheromone
collars with lavender) they secrete the pheomone of the lactating female thus
engaging the nose as Cesar has suggested in his "live" broadcasts he does use
oil of lavender on the bedding and crates. DAP also comes in a spray and I do
use it with the tiny puppy mill babies that are here.

Hope this helps.

So, any specific advice and tips for the anxiety, other than the basic things-
exercise, rules and boundaries, mental challenges, stay calm myself. Also, as
far as her prey drive, anybody have things I can do with her on my own other
than throwing a ball and working on obedience during that? I think she would do
great in a class of some sort, but that's not an option right now. I'll
hopefully be getting some bottled scent to use with her and my hound dog who
likes to track.
Thanks!
