I Am So Frustrated!

Behavioral Issues
  • It's awful isn't it? Cleaning up after these furkids are sometimes worse than doing it for babies and toddlers. Last week, Daisy had a spell throwing up in different places - on the carpeting! I had to wrangle her out the door, but by then she was done. A week or two before Daisy's episode, Duke had one…Everything in his belly evacuated on the carpet - ewwwww yuk! I would love to replace my carpeting, but I won't - yet.

  • Vanessa,
    Is she eating the same thing as Chance?

  • They eat the same meals but I think this is from strangers giving her treats behind our backs at the dog park.
    Chance's tummy has been a little upset too but he unlike Kiya will hold it until we get home. :)

    That is very possible…. LOL... little beggers, people can't resist those faces...

  • My b's do respect the baby gates…but it took treat, squirt guns and time...

  • One word: Kaopectate

    Works wonders for tummy issues, as for behavioral issues…um I dunno

  • Immodium does the trick.
    And a crate of course.
    I have only two crates in my house.
    One for the girl pups and the penthouse for Tanky.

    Everyone is crated when I leave…
    though with this weather I am going to put a cedar bed in the dog house in the run so I can leave them in the ESCAPE PROOF dog run when I am gone (cement flooring and wire-fenced top with 1/2'' x 1/2'' around the run).
    I got new carpet last year and I don't trust leaving anyone in where they can touch it.

    Thanks, Kathi. I was wondering if I could give Immodium to dogs!
    Not that we often have problems, but it's good to have the "go-to" info handy as needed.

  • I did the yogurt mixed with there food and it did the trick! Not to mention they love it!!!!

  • However, I would not doubt if your bitch is coming in season that could also be the reason for the "runs"…. everyone needs to consider all things that are or might be going on when their pup is not feeling up to par.... I certainly have had maiden bitches have a tummy problem just prior to their
    first season...

  • they really are just like us :)

  • @Vanessa:

    they really are just like us :)

    Exactly…. note the name... "bitch"... :p

  • too funny!
    Guess we can just share a couch and eat a tub of Ben & Jerry's ice cream while watching re-runs of sex in the city :)

  • Fiji and I are in…:D

    @Saving so nice to hear there's other people with the same problem! We have been giving regular baths to our b, so I don't know if that really helped or not. Anyways, it took a while for me to bring Nova again to the dog park, because I was a bit afraid the same situation would happen again. I was there a couple of days ago, and no one tried to hump her. (I must say all dogs had same age approx.) Thank you for your comment replies! :)

    Sparkle Barkle came into heat in April. Logan went nuts! I was traveling so my wife was saddled with the mayhem. Mayhem doesn't begin to describe the situation. Sparkle should be coming in again within days, I hope, and unfortunately, he won't get any love this time either. He's gonna be a massive handful for at least a MONTH. I'm not traveling this time, so it's all on me. Cross your fingers for Tri females. I want three!

    Neutering is not going to help - training is. But a good trainer will train YOU to deal with the dog. If a trainer can get him to behave but you can't - there is little to be gained from paying out money. This is something you should never have allowed to happen, but since it has, I think you should deal with it and @JENGOSMonkey has given you a good idea to start you off. Withdrawing treats is a good idea, but also, get up and walk away. He could be biting to get attention and therefore you withdraw the attention at the first sign of a bite, with a firm NO.

    @DebraDownSouth: Have you thought about putting him in the bed WITH you when you sleep? He used to sleep with us when we first got him but we had to stop because it would worsen my allergies. Ever since he stopped sleeping with us i'm now able to tolerate being around him.
