Sorry I haven't been around lately, things have been very busy. I just thought I would pop by and give an update on Spencer. The most amazing thing happened...
That is so wonderful! Congrats to you! :) -Kimberly Mochaccino (hearing/sighted shepherd/chow mix) Dakota (deaf/visually impaired Aussie) ... just ... go ... ...
Hi everyone, I am the proud owner of a 14 month yellow lab/Great Pyrenees mix named Callie . My husband and I adopted her from a Lab Rescue and thought she...
Katie, I think many of us can certainly relate to your feelings. Is doggie daycare a possibility? That was one of many things we did with our Chow Thunder. ...
... If it's a word of encouragement, I'll mention that Casper was worse than your girl, and I can now leave him at home, with no destruction, no barking, ...
I have a "devil in white fur" too. Her other name is Dakota. :) I've been dealing with her severe SA, all day barking, and massive destruction since July....
Hi Katie and Welcome We all feel/felt your pain so hopefully we can help you and your pup. It sounds like Callie is a HUGE dog and capable of moving ...
Hello everyone, My name's Marina and I am the owner of a 2-year-old male smooth fox terrier, Kiri. I have a big yard so he stays there when I am away at work...
... Any chance of your vet cutting you a deal for day boarding there? The vet behaviorist that I took Casper to gave me a special rate for day boarding Casper...
... Yes. I still flip the fuse off for the stove, (electric stove), whenever I leave, just in case. And, Casper still claims that his cooking is better than...
That's an interesting possibility. You have some good ideas, Jeri. The only thing is I spend part of my time in Queens (during the week) and part of my time...
Hi Marina Kiri sounds like a very active pooch. Lots of energy. What you describe does not entirely sound like separation anxiety but more like a behavior...
I agree - your dog needs obedience training. That's a ton more easier than dealing with separation anxiety. Lucky you! Get a trainer... or a dog training...
Thank you Mary Ann and S. Marina ... ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your...
Hi Marina, I think everyone has given good advice... just wanted to let you know that my dog petey-cockapoo- who has SA would exhibit this kind of behavior...
Thank you everyone for your recommendations and encouragement . I did try to use the DAP diffuser , but she literally ate it .(I'm not kidding , she got it out...
Well, today for the VERY first time I came home to a clean, undisturbed apartment! I watched the webcam.... guess what????!!! Dakota did NOTHING all day!!!...
Congratulations! We really should establish a folder for these kinds of messages. Just to give the new members (and ourselves) hope. Have a good weekend...
A folder for all the "success" days/stories would be a great idea! Especially for the newbies (in the beginning it can be VERY depressing and frustrating and...
Yeah!! I think that we all understand how wonderful you must feel. That's fantastic news, and I hope that Dakota continues to do well. How long has she been on...
Thanks!!! Dakota has been on Clomipramine for almost two months (took long enough). I mean, it's just one beautifully excellent day; I don't want to get my...
Actually, there IS such a folder!! It is in the 'files' section called 'Success Stories'. So far there are only 2 documents in there, but it would be GREAT...
Wow that's great! I had no idea. Maybe we should all be more conscious of adding things in there. I know Jeri could write a book. Also Nicole could write...
... There is also a spray, so if you want to try DAP again, you might want to get the spray. There is also a DAP collar, but you might not be able to safely...
Hi My dog no longer has any sep. anx. since I got him a buddy many many mos . ago. However, the 'buddy' is a border collie and is an anxious dog. I am thinking...
I don't usually read the email on-line, so I wasn't aware of the folder, either. I'll try to find some time to add Casper's story to the success folder. It...
Hi Jeri, Thanks for the great advice. My husband and I try to put things away early in the AM while Callie is eating . She usually associates the "cleansing of...
Can you add something like valium, rather than up the dose of Clomicalm? Sometimes a combination of drugs works best. I tape recorded Casper, so I could easily...
I started Doko on the pills 3 weeks ago - as he was getting worse. He whines & whimpers and shakes even when I am sitting on the computer! This week, he...
