I found myself thinking about Cesar Milan and his negative training methods. I cannot watch him....I just want to scream when he makes a dog cower. There was a thread on here not long ago where someone had a food aggressive dog and everyone was suggesting ways to change that behavior. I told the person to leave the dog alone when it eats. Heck, I might bite someone if they get in my food when I am hungry! LOL...just kidding...but seriously, what is the problem? If they are that stressed out....messing with them is only going to exacerbate the problem. And, it does say exactly what I thought regarding meds. SSRI's for long term and benzos for short. The other article didn't have much to offer...or did I miss something?? I do think it is always good to try some of the holistic stuff for behavior issues...certainly cannot hurt. Most of the information about them is anecdotal ... and honestly I have not had success with any of them....but I haven't used them often either. I am going to bookmark this one article .. really found it interesting! Thanks, Phil. I hope that Bella gets some relief from her meds....did you look at the link about DAP? You might want to add that...get some diffusers??

YT 2000 Club Member | Dog behavior People should study the breed of dog before they get one. Yorkies tend to be active and they bark .both of mine are barkers. When someone comes they go crazy. That's a yorkie. A great watchdog. I would not medicate my dogs unless it got pretty bad. I hope you can train your dog's and accept some barking. That's what they do. |

For the record, OF COURSE I accept some barking. I've had other dogs before. Barking is one way that dogs communicate. It is NOT normal for a dog to bark continually and work itself into a state of frenzied panic that lasts for four hours while a worker is trying to install cable TV. Although I explained the situation at the beginning of my thread, perhaps the person replying didn't read it or didn't understand the situation. Like I said, ignorance. The good news is that the Prozac resulted in some improvement. Instead of being inconsolable while our furnace was being inspected, Bella was consolable. It's not just for me, it's for her well-being as well. After the second two-month prescription runs out, the vet wants to see Bella again to re-evaluate. I'll question the vet more pointedly and report back on what she says. | |
