Hi all, Just a quick question...My girl seems impervious to the desensitization of departure sounds. I can move my keys all day long, but she jumps up every...
Dear Leslie, What I have learned about SA in the past two and a half months is that it takes A LONG, LONG, LONG time to work on behavior modification. The...
Hi everyone! I wanted to introduce myself and jump right in for some advice. I have an 11 yr old beagle/boxer mix that has a history of thunder phobia. We've...
I just wanted to add a few more things: We don't crate her - she had some very bad past experiences in the crate during storms and that just isn't the place...
Hi Michelle Welcome to our group. We have lots of very knowledgeable folks here and I am sure we can help. My first thought about your dog does not really...
Hi Mary Ann, Thank you for your response. I just did a brief search on the Canine Cognitive Disorder and I don't think that is what she has. I will bring it...
I would suggest Melatonin for nighttime to help settle her down. My Stormie (age 11) started her passing after the time change (not this last one, but the one...
... You were working with your vet, which is the way to do it, of course. For those of us who have dogs with health problems, it can be good to look into...
My Viszla, Mollie, lost her and my best friend Hobo a few months ago to liver cancer which is when the nightmare began. A few weeks before we had to put Hobo...
I used to give her melatonin and I can't really remember why I stopped. I think I might try that again. She had a good reaction to it before and it might...
I think the trick might be to give to her before bedtime so it has a chance to work-maybe 30 minutes. Same with the Clomicalm. Although Mollie still gets...
Well, Avery had done well on Tues and Wed but yesterday we got home and she had destroyed the pantry door. I think that is because we have shock pads that we...
Set backs are very common - and we have all been discouraged and understand the frustration. But if I read your original e-mail correctly, this SEVERE...
I agree with giving meds on an empty stomach before she gets too wound up. If she gets to stressed before you get it in her it doesn't work as effectively. ...
Thank you Julie and Mary Ann, I know part of it is that we are so tired and feel a little like we are losing our minds! I am going to ask the vet about the...
I sure understand about being tired, and it's so difficult to know that your dog is struggling with stress.... As others have already said, since this is a...
Hi there! I'm so sorry that you are having such a tough time with Avery. I know how much stress these behaviors can put on you. It really stretches you to...
Thank you Chris! I tried DAP a few years ago with the diffuser and it never seemed to do much for her thunderphobia. I might try the spray but it is so ...
Casper has now gone 8 weeks without a seizure, and, even more amazing, his separation anxiety (SA) has completely disappeared. I can now leave the house...
Congratulations! That is incredible news. I can't remember if you have said this before, but I am curious about how you learned to choose and cook herbs for...
Jeri, when are you writing a book with all these wonderful techniques and recipes? And I echo Julia- tell us more about choosing and cooking herbs. Mary Ann &...
I'm just about done with a 4 year Masters degree progam in Oriental Medicine. Graduation is in a few weeks, in fact. :-) I passed all of the national board...
Thanks for all of this great info, Jeri! I am going to talk with my vet about cooking herbs for Sabrina. I compiled Jeri's posts on this topic below, in case...
Do you sometimes feel that trading stocks isn't going the way you think it should? Just when you think you're getting the hang of it, the market comes along ...
Hello Everyone, I just joined, and everyone here seems very nice and caring. I was hoping to get some opinions on my new dog, Mikey. Mikey's last owner tied...
Hello everyone My name is James O'Heare. I am writing a new book (to replace The Canine Separation Anxiety Workbook) and wanted to check out this list and see...
Hi Susan and Welcome! Congratulations on your new addition and on your obvious patience! I'm sure you will find this group to be extremely helpful and quite...
Hi Luisa (and Bo), Thank you so much for your kind response.? I can already tell that the folks here are very?genuine. I don't think Mikey's SA is the worst...
