I just asked a previous question about my dog crying alot after 4th of July and I got a response saying how daisy could be anxious and how a sentry calming collar could help, I was wondering if this would be helpful? If so what else can I do to help
That was me who answered your question! You said one of the things that Daisy does is bark a lot when outside alone, and as you can see from the package, it helps with excessive barking. The collar releases calming pheromones when in touch with her skin, which can help with her current behaviors, which can be stress related from anxiety. You can keep going outside with her if it makes her happy, but I imagine you don't want to do that all the time. Try the collar first to see if it helps.

So we are going to use a remote collar to train the puppy to never chew the chainlink fence she doesn’t do it often . A trainer on YouTube Solidk9 training recommended. I think it’s better to have a mild stem correction than broken teeth one day. Als
Sport dog is a good brand with several levels of correction. This will not be effective for chewing unless you are always there to correct her. If she chews when you are not home there is no way to know or enforce or correct this. For any training you have to ask them to perform something they know, such as sit. If they do not do it you push the button. If they do well then you reward them. Keep them on a leash while training. When you ask them to come, you pull the leash. If there is no interest then you correct them. They will learn to associate the two things together quickly to respond

I have a 10 month old Border Aussie who is struggling with Separation Anxiety. If he is left home alone or confined to a room alone, he will non-stop bark. What can I do to help with this? We’ve tried tricks like not letting him see us leave, treats
Poor boy! I would try a calming collar like sentry or adaptil. You can also try essential oils that are calming. I would talk to a good company like DoTerra to get more information on which oils are safe for pets. Also, I would talk to your vet about starting him on a anti-anxiety medicine like fluoxetine and hire a trainer to show you the best ways to train this out of him. It is usually recommended for them to be on some type of medication while re-training them. Finally, if you don't want to use medication, you can try to find a holistic vet to try Chinese herbs and acupuncture. There have been some good success with this as well. I hope this helps!

Is there a special food or supplement I could give Copper for anxiety? I cant even let her out on her leash without her barking at people, or take her anywhere cause she runs. I have tried walking her to wear her out, but she just barks at everyone a
Hi there. You could try a daily natural calming supplement such as Zylkene or Composure, if you want to. An Adaptil pheromone collar can also be helpful for mild anxiety issues. If these things don't help, you may want to consider seeing a veterinary behaviorist to discuss a more comprehensive treatment plan for her anxiety issues, which may include prescription medication if needed. You can search for one in your area here: www.dacvb.org

Just got my Newfie and to keep it concise, I am curious as to strategies for starting a bigger dog off the right way other than diligent training. I live with roommates and want to start my boy off the right way. Thanks!!!
Congratulations on your new pup! You can visit the following link for training tips and how to deal with common behaviour issues http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=T&C=33&S=1 also try Adaptil, a calming pheromone that can help reduce anxiety in puppies and dogs www.adaptil.com . Training is still needed with all puppies and dogs, and enrolling Sitka in a puppy training class is a good way to help socialize him correctly in a safe environment. You can also find a trainer who can do sessions with you at home if scheduling is an issue for training classes. Neutering is also a good idea to help reduce roaming, marking behaviour, humping and aggression. Good luck.
