| to up tight I hope someone can give me some advice, I have three babies mom, dad & baby. The dad is a very nervous little guy, he loves to play with the other 2 but he is much calmer when he is separated from them. i have talked to my vet and they said you can give dogs prozac to calm them but that doesn't sound like it would be a good thing. i have seen in the pet supply stores sprays and medications that claim a nervous pet does anyone know anything about these products and are they safe. It would break my heart to know he has to be so nervous for the rest of his life and the thought of finding a new home for him would crush me, but if that is what i would have to do to make his life better i would. someone please help ! keep my babies together. |

| I wouldn't medicate him, but that's just me, and those herbal supplements honestly scare me, because I don't know exactly what is in there, how it works, and how much is toxic. You could try doing obedience and/or agility work to boost his confidence, and always make sure he has a quiet place that he can go by himself to chill out. Good luck.

| Oh Good God no .... Medication? It sounds like this little guy just hasn't been socialized well Is he good in your lap and with strangers? and is it just other dogs in general that makes him nervous? Why not try habituating him with the dogs First have him with you and introduce another dog into the room away from him on a leash don't do anything and treat him and slowly bring the dog closer and closer after a few trys take the other dog off the leash Generally show him that other dogs mean treats and attention
