| commented answer | How do I stop my dog from barking when I am gone? I've had the same experience. I highly recommend citronella collars, I like that they only spray a lemony scent and I even tested it to my throat before I ever put it on my dog and aside from a spray of air and citronella scent it is harmless. |
| answered a question | How do I train my small rescue dogs not to be overly excited? Sometimes shelter dogs need a lot of work, I got my pup about 8 years ago from a shelter and she did some of the things you've said. I'd say until they grow out of this you might want to put belly bands/diapers on them both (as previously said above me). Its totally worth it to stick with the few years of adjustment and to get them to classes/and or training. I stuck it out with my pup through all of her ups and downs and she has been my greatest friend and a complete blessing, you're awesome for sticking it out! Goodluck. Also I think as they get more comfortable it should start to cease a bit. My first few years with my dog consisted of a lot of puppy pads, natures miracle, treats, training, and cuddles! :) |
