This is very interesting.
Demi experiences such intense excitement during dog class that she scratches non-stop during the sit and down stays. The other week, she actually broke out into a rash that disappeared within minutes of leaving class.
She's been allergy-tested and she isn't fed wheat or corn. I think it's positive stress that's causing the problem. Her excitement level in class is extreme. Her little tail wags so fast it's a blur the entire time.
I wonder if Rescue Remedy might be a good thing to try. Does it make the dog sleepy, or just calm?
TIA! |
