Hi, my name's Kyle and I'm from Washington state, right next to the Idaho border. I have a "supermutt" named Bert, who I adopted from a shelter 2 years ago,...
Hi, I saw you had posted on the deafdogs Yahoo group too. I also have a deaf dog with SA. It took several months of long, hard work to get Dakota to the...
My husband and I finally took our dog to a behaviorist and as much as I was convinced it wasn't going to work- the trip was worth going because for once, I...
I just ordered a DAP diffuser a few days ago, so that's good to hear that it seemed to help. Right now I'm using a peanut butter and kibble mix in his kongs. I...
Kyle, Kimberly will be an excellent resource for you as she has much experience in this area. We also have others in the group with hearing impaired dogs....
Not enough exercise! I have a broken foot right now, so I do my best to tire them out with lots of fetch. Thankfully Ollie will do this for as long as I will...
A friend of mine puree's cooked chicken with the juices, takes a piece of cheese and plugs up the hole in the kong, and then fills it up w/ the chicken puree...
Hi Kyle, That's really heartening! Sounds like your pup is on the right track already! My dog is deaf also and I think that is def. an SA factor. The nice...
And also, I'm sure this was said by someone, or maybe even you, but how is he with kongs when you're home with him? Does he show an interest in them then? If...
He likes to chew on the kongs, and loves a treat filled kong... once I am home for a few minutes it's like he suddenly remembers that the treat filled kong is...
Hi, everyone....where do I even begin? I apologize in advance that this is going to be extremely long. When I got my dog Diamond in 2004, she was about 7 years...
wet canned tripe, cheese, treats, raw tripe, cream cheese. my dog caught onto the cream cheese and he stopped eating it. canned tripe wasn't good enough for...
Hi Amanda, Wow...have you tried using DAP? It's the one thing you have not mentioned. What about an animal communicator? i heard on another group, gold bead ...
... I'm guessing that I'm the person who mentioned the gold bead implants. :-) Amanda, when the medication didn't work, did the vet have you try to increase...
Yup, it was you Jeri, thanks for piping up lol Btw, I am curious....did you guys ever video tape your dogs? How did they ever turn on the stove?! ... -- Cindi...
I recorded Casper, but never videotaped him. But, since he's a Great Dane, who can easily reach everything, I think that he just bumped the knobs for the...
That's great that a behaviorist worked so well for your dog and your family. I took my fear-aggressive deaf border collie, Sky, to a behaviorist last year and...
... This is so wonderful to hear!! For those without a webcam, you might consider doing what I did, which was to just tape record the dogs. I had a digital...
Hi Amanda, I am so sorry to hear about your situation with Diamond. Someone had responded to your post, and referenced an animal communicator. I was the...
Nicole, that's great that you found the animal communication to be so helpful. It's something that I've done, too, and while it doesn't "cure" anything, it can...
Hi, thanks for the replies. I have not tried DAP, what is it? I believe the medication we tried was Clomicalm, we only tried the one type. I have been...
... Here is a link that explains it: http://www.healthypets.com/dapdogappher.html I did try it for Casper, and it didn't make any difference for him, but it ...
Temporarily ignoring whether or not crating is the best way to go... If an anxious dog may frantically dig and chew at the crate while inside, what type of...
Kyle... my two cents... My dog has a crate that I've modified. It's a regular wire crate (the kind with the plastic tray bottoms), however, I've changed it in...
Kyle, again, this is just my opinion, but I think it's important to be consistent about kongs only = crate/your absence. Even though you might think it helps...
wow...kinda funny to hear, but I'm sure you were completely frustrated! I agree, better safe than sorry! Fortunately, Samba does not have SA to that degree...
DAP is something that mimics a lactating bitch's pheramones. It calms the dog. i have yet to get one b/c I didn't want to order just one item! :) But it is on...
Following the combined advice of my obedience and agility instructors, I moved Ollie's crate to the bedroom last night and elevated it, such that he would...
