I echo what Luisa is saying. The crate may not be something that is going to work for your dog. Some dogs get more anxious in the crate. Try baby-gating...
we found her on the street, so we have no idea what she lived like before, except that she was definately hit. the poor girl has cigarette burns on her...
Welcome- First I would have your vet do a complete medical exam to see if anything medical may be causing your pup so much anxiety. If health issues are ruled...
Hi! Thanks so much for rescuing your pit! I am a big pit fan. I adopted a pit mix, who was a rescue, a few years ago. Sabrina was probably hit as well (with...
I meant to add, earlier, that for a baby gate I use a window screen. They are lightweight (easy to move around the house), Sabrina's sacred of it falling on...
Hi. This is our first post here. We have a 7 month old beagle (we've had him for three weeks) who has pretty severe SA. We are in desperate need of a new...
This is almost exactly how my dog acts, a rescued beagle about 6 years old or so, I don't know exactly who's name is Sonny. He's the model of good dog ...
I was having the same problems with Monty (akita/lab mix). We put him on Clomicalm. He is the same dog, but calmer. He has had diarrhea on and off since...
Search the archives for "Gus." You'll find lots of stories about the antics of a beagle, medications, and things that have worked and that haven't worked. ...
Some dogs do better NOT being crated, with SA. But for the sake of your home, sometimes you need to do it. I know of people who used an aluminum crate from...
My Dillon cannot be in a crate--he hurt himself several times trying (and succeeding) to get out. I leave him loose in the house and since putting him on...
I personally have tried to leave my Sonny alone without a crate a few times before thinking maybe he'd do better outside the crate. I put him in my bedroom...
Hi, I just got (yet another) complaint this afternoon about my lethal white/double merle Aussie (Dakota)'s nonstop all day barking when I am at work. I've...
New to the group as of a few mon ago...lol...searched for greyhounds...I too work greyhound and boston rescue in Michigan...thank you for your hound work...I...
Welcome! Hi Kimberly First we here are all aware of the difficulties that you are facing. It can be very frustrating but many of us have had success stories...
Hi Kris I just sent out a lengthy e-mail to another new member; hopefully those tips will help you with your dog too. Good luck Mary Ann & Bits ... folks ... ...
Thanks for all your MANY, MANY suggestions. Most of them I have already tried. It's even more difficult for me because of my living situation (small...
Sounds like you have tried many of the recommendations. But there is a lot of trial and error with S/A dogs. I really am not sure how spraying Dakota with...
Hi Kimberley, You said that Dakota has always been pretty good and her SA is only a recent occurrence. I am very hesitant to even suggest this but I once read...
Well...we finally have made the decision to try Clomicalm. As Wicket has now started pooping in the crate as well as his normal urination. My husband is now...
Dakota is an odd dog. Actually spraying the vinegar/water on her when she barks in the crate is actually the only suggestion I have gotten that has worked (at...
LOL! I can't believe you mentioned a possibility of a break-in! Patricia McConnell just e-mailed me tonight saying that might have been a possibility. To my...
... I realize that you're concerned about a side effect of aggression, but you also want your dog to be able to relax while you're gone, rather than suffer....
Of course, Dakota is suffering. A normal dog who isn't suffering wouldn't be destroying my apartment or barking all day. But if she becomes aggressive again,...
We give Monty his first thing in the morning before he eats. It seems to have better results that way. We were giving it to him at night, and didn't really...
I give Magic her's at night so then it has a chance to get into her system. I use to give Zoe hers at night as well, and that worked out for her as well too....
... I don't think that anyone here who is using medication for their dog took that decision lightly. But, we're all battling a difficult problem, and want what...
I want what is best for Dakota more than anyone else. However, Dakota being aggressive again is not what is best for her or Mocha (my other dog whom she...
... Of course, that certainly might be. But, since this is a change in behavior, sometimes that's an indication that there is something is going on medically....
LOL! Thanks, I will look into any possible thyroid problems. -Kimberly, Mochaccino, and Dakota ... alone ... behavior, ... blood ... dogs/page1.aspx ... ...
