Hi, A week an a half ago I got a golden/aust. shep. mix from the pound (Leo). The dog trainer believes Leo been seriously abused by his previous owner ;...
My dog is a whiner as well. I unfortunately help make my dog into an SA dog. First thing, when ever he wants attention from you, always make him work for it....
Do you have a video camera? This way you can see what he's doing and when it happens. Is there anyone who can come and take him out while your out. Like a...
30 days is not long enough for clomicalm. It took my dog about 3 months so see effects. Clomicalm is not a short term fix. Its a drug that takes time to get in...
Oh yeah clomicalm is not that expensive from my vet. I get the 80 mg. dose and break it in half. Its around 30 bucks a month depending on if I am going to be...
Hi, As a behaviourist in the UK (www.takingthelead.co.uk ) I must point out crates can make separation anxiety worse. Dogs sleep on average 11 hours a day -...
THANKS SOO much for writing back! no i don't have a video camer, but i may be able to borrow one. i usually walk him for about 20-half an hour before i go to...

Thanks for the quick responses! It's curious, my vet said after 30 days of Clomicalm, I should see an definite change in Colby's mentality, so I am surprised...
I don't know if this will help or not, but my vet suggested melatonin--3 mg twice a day. We just started using it 5 days ago, so I can't say if it will work or...

There is no such thing as a "quick fix". These behaviors require caring, patience and consistency... First - how much do you interact with the dog? Does the...
Also - I forgot to mention At 8 yrs old - be sure to have the vet check her more than just "normal". There could be age related changes that are distressing...
Kelly - ask the vet to write for the generic of Clomicalm - it's called clomiprimine, and it is roughly $35 for a bottle of 100. My Crazy Daisy was on it for 8...
Thanks for your response. We have spent a lot of time with this dog; especially in the evenings after our daughter has gone to bed. I had not thought about...
Im also wondering what sedative you gave your dog? Mine takes acepromazine. Not sure what it is but it knocks her out. You need to give the clomicalm some time...
She's going to tell you that this is going to take a long time and it's not an easy fix. Sorry to tell you this but it's not easy. All I can tell you is...
Lisa, Our dog Rockie, a lab mix adopted from a shelter, exhibited similar behaviors to those you describe after we returned from a 2-week vacation. He had...
Thanks for the advice on generics. $35 for 100 pills is better than $50 for 30 pills. Colby is due for his yearly check-up this month, so I will bring it up...
I am a new member, and I think this list is great because I do feel as if I'm the only person living with the kind of craziness my dog has brought into my...
