Stalking/Splooting: We live in a very busy dog-friendly area. She becomes laser focused when another dog is near, I lean into her and/or make a sound which never works. She slowly gets down low and then flattens her body to the ground. I attempt to p
It's hard to tell from your question if this is a true problem (meaning an unhealthy/pathologic behavior) or a nuisance behavior. If she's relaxed and friendly with other dogs, it may not be a behavior you really need to change. Since it's bugging you, you can try using toys to distract her instead of food. The key is getting her attention before she focuses on the other dog. If toys don't work, and you feel it's a problem, the next step would be having an appointment with a good trainer or a veterinary behaviorist. Here is a good place to look: https://avsab.org/directory/ Best of luck!

I rescued sally from a wheat field almost 2 years ago. I dont know much about her, except she doesn't like open field and needs a fenced yard, doesn't like tires/loud vehicles, and is obsessed with children. I was able to calm her down quite a bit an
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! This is just behavior commonly seen with her breed as they are dominant and challenging and require very strict and consistent training. These types of behavior can improve though this does require in person training with the help of a qualified dog trainer. I would encourage you to contact a dog trainer that can work with you and Sally in person to really take care of this behavior. The sooner these behaviors are dealt with, the more likely it is that you can improve and resolve them. Good luck and have a good night!

Poor daisy! I recommend feeding royal canin calm food and using pheromone products also to help the transition of a new house and new dog and also create a safe indoor kennel with a covered crate, soft bed and pet remedy spray so she has somewhere to go if she needs to. They should make friends over the next few days and once they do the presence of a calmer dog is likely to help

Thanks for using Boop by Petco. This sounds like it could be anxiety related, probably due to (or worsened by) the recent trip. Try separating them for a day or so, then taking them for a walk together. If it continues for more than a day or so, talk with your vet about anti-anxiety medications which can help tremendously with this sort of thing. Best wishes to you, Charlie, and Grey!

My dog got spayed today and keeps escaping from her e-collar. What is a better alternative to the e collar I can purchase today at a Petco near me? Zip code is 92704
Petco should have an inflatable collar that works like an e-collar. It looks a lot like an inflated inner tube and it helps keep her from being able to turn her head far enough to reach her incision site.
