Just some options...our breed is very prone to SA.. This is what we do as a rescue shelter home: 1.) lots of exercise...walks before you leave. No talk, no touch, no eye contact.  2.) Kongs filled with something she loves, frozen so it will take longer to get out of the Kong. (search Kong Recipes in the search box, as I have posted ...

Hi guys. My dog, 5 year old Lhasa Apso has separation anxiety pretty bad. She gets really stressed when we put her in cage when we leave the house, so much so she has actually bent the wire and separated and bent the metal wire.  The vet recently gave us xanax to try and calm her down some, but it doesn't seem to be working.  I need to ...

Hello Bomb.. Dogs to react differently in different situations. Sometimes one rehomig is one too much as we had this happen with one of our most solid dogs. We were shocked at the reports...took him back into rescue after the family made attempts to work it out, and started the following.  He had been on Clomicalm brand name for clomporzine ...

Have a little 16 month old poodle/bichon . When we get into the car she jumps in and is great until we start moving. She pants, talks, yawns. I have a CRV, so we aren't too low. When were are in the truck she is a lot better. After we roam around for 30 mins or so she starts to calm down and it's great from then on. I hate torchering her for that ...

Hello, I am new here and have been reading and looking for a suggestion or information about anxiety - not the dog's, mine!  I am wondering if my anxiety disorder will make it impossible to be an effective leader for my puppy Bosley.  He is a very smart, very handsome 7-mo Sheltie.  I have been working with him daily, and either my ...

Hello all. I am new to this site, and need some desperate help. Me and my fiancee have a soon-to-be two-year old basset hound female, who has some issues that stress me out. Number one, she always whines when I leave the room to go to the bathroom or get dressed, etc. And sometimes it's at the point where I just can't leave the room because I ...
