answered a question Best remedies for hot spots?

When my dog had one we used Tea Tree Oil (you can get it at wal-mart). It does not smell the best but it seemed to help her more then anything else we did. Also bathing her with the tea tree shampoo helped (you can also add the oil to her dog shampoo). I hope this helps!!

asked a question Why does my dog sleep in and eat her poop?

My dog is a 6-7 month old lab/pit/shepherded mix (as per the shelter). She was extremely sick when I got her (she was treated for parvo but did not have it and got better). I taker her out every hour for a walk so she can go poddy, additionally if she is gassy or wipers at the door I take her out. She has several behavioral issues such as, eating everything, peeing/pooping off pee pads, eating her filled and empty pee pads, biting me, getting extremely rough while playing, and going crazy on the leash while walking. I have been working with her to stop the negative behaviors (they started all the sudden without warring). I have tried kenneling her at night and when I leave for work, giving her a routine,and locking her in the bathroom for punishment. I should also note I play with her until she goes into her crazy semi-aggressive mode and starts to biting/jumping on me hard (often hurting me and making me bleed). I am not sure what else to do. But not with her eating and sleeping in her own poop (this started today) I am at then end of what I can handle. Since I rent an apartment I cannot afford for her to completely destroy my place. I have also used every carpet cleaner to take the smell out, At the time of cleaning I will not smell a thing but it always come back. I love her with all my hart and want it to all work out.
