Hi, just joined this group last week. Wondering if anyone has any experience managing angry neighbors who are fed up with dog barking? My husband and I have a...
Is your downstairs neighbor a renter of yours? Or you their renter? Or are you both renting from someone else? I would simply explain to them what SA is,...
It's a condo...we both own our units. They have lived there for 10+ years and we're the new kids on the block (only been there for 8 months). We're perfectly...
Ahhh, I see. I would not trust them with my dog either if they blow up so easily. You mentioned you had a dog walker come in. How far of a walk does she...
Dont be so quick to knock the Doggie daycare if you can afford it. My boy has been going to his for ages, as progress with him outside work hours wasnt going...
You are so fortunate to have neighbors that would be willing to help. Why don't you arrange to drop him off at their place when you leave - then they don't...
I recently bought a muzzle for Gus, and it is the best purchase I ever made. We can actually have company over without him barking constantly. Our friends...
Thanks for all the suggestions... The meeting went ok...it helped everyone to just be communicating finally. One thing that made our neighbors calm down a bit...
Sounds like the meeting went better than expected. And the dog walker coming only once a day for a long walk sounds like a really good idea. That way, he...
I bought a 4 year old yorkie and I just love her but I have just moved to my first apartment and now everytime I leave she urinates on the mats. I know I am...
First, rule out a medical reason. Then you need to give her a "job" while you are gone. Give her a stuffed Kong before you leave, and wait till she is so...
Hi everyone, I'm new to the group, and feel at my wits end... We have a multi dog/cat house. Before the Kona BC joined us there were 4 dogs, 3 cats. She was...
Have you tried crating her at night? So she won't pace? I think that the pacing is probably due to her age and the blindness. She might be nervous that she...
Thanks for the reply. She's never been crated, and doesn't deal well with confinement if she knows I'm in the house. We did up the clomicalm by 25mg in the...
Hey everyone. :) I live in an apartment with my Chihuahua, Luc. -- He's a BIG boy, 14 pounds -- He has separation anxiety (which has gotten much better with...
You could always try to temperament test him with a cat to see if he does okay. I don't know why your vet suggested this since he is doing so much better with...
Sexy Filipina Girls Why choose a Filipina? Women from the Philippines are noted for their beauty, grace, charm and loyalty. With their sweet nature and shy...
Can you just padlock the top and bottom of the refrigerator handles together much like the small diagrams at the bottom of this page? Use a steel cable to loop...
I just thought of another way... How about putting a large cement block right in front of the fridge door? Your dog probably won't be able to move it out the...
Hi everyone! I'm new to the group and have read through some of the newer old posts. I have a 2 yr old rescue (boxer/am.staff) with SA. In the year that I...
St John's Wort has really helped our boy but it was in conjunction with extensive desensitization for months. Now he can be left at home alone with no problem...
Marie, Thanks for the ideas. I'm gonna have to pass on the cement block [although it might help my diet ;) ] However, I really like the invisible fence idea,...
Hi, I just got a 4 year old terrier/daschund/shi tzu mix from the animal shelter - she was neglected by her previous owners and now has terrible seperation...
... There is also an item called a Scat-Mat. I know of someone who uses it in front of the garbage can in the kitchen. The dogs gets a light jolt if they step ...
Dogs are believed to be descendants of wild wolves. They were the first wild animal to be tamed. Ancient man probably brought home cub wolves to raise as...
It has been a while since I emailed a request, about six months but I do enjoy reading the emails. It lets me know that my dog Turbo isn’t the only dog with...
