Im also having a problem with my dog and strangers. Shes normally good if she sees them from about 30-40 feet away but if they appear suddenly from begins a door or around a corner she freaks. It's bad enough that she wad cuddling with my dad on the couch after we had been at his place for a few days, he went inti the hidden and when he came back she barked, lunged forward, and bit him on the thigh. I tried using the behaviorist finder links but the ones i found in Charlotte either had dead sites or werent doing human aggression training anymore. The one that wasnt doing it anymore told me under no circumstances use an e collar on her which infuriates me. My dog was feral until about a year old, then she went to training, and im her third adopter. I adopted her when she was about 4. The initial trainer that got her to be normalish with people spent a year training her and did it with an ecollar to snap her out of her fear/aggression charges at people and she had made worlds more progress since I found out who did her initial training and got the ecollar like they suggested and they spent a while teaching me how to use it properly. According to them when she left them she would occasionally bark at strangers but never lunge. Does anyone happen to know of a good trainer in charlotte? I'd go to her first trainers but theyre insanely expensive. The rescue also stiffed them on months with of work and didnt keep up with her training at sll. She became extremly seperation anxious before i got her. Tears up carpet and door frames, hurt herself on her crate trying to get free after about 5 minutes. Shes on clonicalm to help me desensitize her to that and is up to about 15 minutes before she starts rummaging through the trash and tearing up boxes. Shes fine in her crate with me in the other room for several hours she only freaks when she KNOWs ive left. Kong with oeanut butter helps but not enough. And with how badly she shakes when i put her in the tub for a bath i think she was abused in one. The rescue originally only told me she was given back because she didn't get along with the first people's kids and then got into a fight with a cat the 2nd person got after getting the dog. She only lasted a week or two at those places Stravag fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Sep 9, 2019 |

There are Pixie plushies from Pixie and Brutus. Kedah let me put it next to her then bit its head to establish pack position.

I get my dog's meds from chewy. Theyre legit. The price is normally better and you can make any order an autoship for 10% off or whatever and then delete the autoship after the payment goes through

Someone recommended I try yak cheese sticks, and she loved them... For the 32 seconds it took her to demolish. Made all the funnier by the label on them "Long lasting chew!".

She also figured out how to unscrew the lid to a peanut butter jar to lick up about a quarter of a 40 oz jar Stravag fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Apr 24, 2020 |

It tooks days of only feeding Kedah in her crates before she was ok with being in there without crying and she was 4 year old when i got her. I still can't leave her in the crate in the bedroom and go into the other room for longer than 20 minutes before she cries. I also haven't been working on it for a bit but i would suggest food in the crate and progressively leave the pup in there after its done eating for longer and longer if its at all food motivated. Also have a special toy in the crate its only allowed to have there

Have you tried biting him on the ear real quick? Kedah was getting out of control about a schnauzer on a walk so i nipped her on the ear. Next time we passed that dog she sat and stayed sat when i told her and it took a couple days before she started being reactive to dogs again at her usual level

Even rescues can be several hundred depending on age of the dog and appearance so unless its literally a kid with a bunch of pups on the side of the road youre probably going to pay. Just try not to give a breeder 5 grand for a puppy unless thats really what you want for some reason.

trip9 posted:This makes sense, thanks! I would take my Dutch Shepard for a ~4 mile walk in the morning plus a ~4 mile walk at night, as well as a mid day short 15 minute pee break and half hour bedtime pee break and honestly that was probably the minimum for her. She was also riding in the car with me for 10 hours a day watching everything. I would be prepared to extend how much you walk an aussie

There are lots of apartments or even towns that are no pit/pit mix of any amount allowed. Dog will be impounded and possibly put down same day. Bsl sucks

It depends on area and people. In Texas they kill them then tie the bodies to a fence and let them rot for some reason. Saw a fence that had about 75 bodies strung up like that once

I didn't get it then and 5 years later i still dont. It was a little ways outside of odessa or one of the other smal towns out that way. Maybe it was some insane warning to other coyotes.

 I would try holbrook next i guess. The home depots/lowes around didn't have what you needed either? Try the one in clifton park it may have a better stock cuz rich people. Did you try both curtis lumber locations?

Kedah was a dutch shepard with not much floof around her face, but she would only drink water like she had been lost in a desert for a week. Splashed water everywhere. I eventually got one of those big messy feeders with a high lip and the resevoir for catching food and water from sloppy pups

Halloween decorations were out at Lowes so I taught her how to push their buttons real quick to the delight of the other shoppers and employees. She conned so many people out of treats.

That is a very cute firefox you have there. And it can take several weeks or a month for a dog to start to feel comfortable depending on their history. Some fosters/ adopters ive seen stories from had to remove the tops of crates to carry the dog outside for bathroom breaks because they didnt want to leave the den so if he leaves when hes near the door he has less of a hurdle to clear. When I brought Kedah home the first night she jumped onto my bed to be near me but i could feel her shaking against my leg like she was worried. It may be a little bit before he picks up this is new home and he can get comfortable.

Find a toy he really really likes and only give it to him in the crate, as well as a shirt/ towel that smells like you. There's also the air diffuser stuff that can help with anxiety

It took me a year to stop looking over my shoulder in the car to check on her after Kedah was gone. Took another year before i felt like i would be able to handle a dog again. Take your time you may not be quite ready yet

i own every Bionicle posted:I haven’t, do you have a link? It’s probably something I have to make sure he tears apart correctly rather than just letting him go to town on his own but I’d be interested in trying it. I don't have a link i just see ads for them every so often and thought it may be an idea for him

Yeah the amount of people that would walk up to me and corner me against the spycar when I was about to unclip Kedah as shes furiously trying to lunge and barking nonstop at them asking dumb questions for 10 minutes and then would say some bullshit about how they dont feel safe around her in the nc/sc/tn area was insane
