He jumped from a car going to Georgia. I got him from a kill-only but he jumped out windows and the open doors any time he could. I fixed him by showing him we are going together and showing him what else he can see i can open my front door he goes to the car and does not move before i would chase him for miles. Now he tries to bite and hates anyone that comes close to the truck even if he knows them not me but everyone else? He is such a good dog cocker spaniel but now he's mean." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/behavioral_issues.html&name=PETCALM_18288 /Pets/behavioral_issues.rss2 Wed, 29 Oct 2008 00:00:00 EDT [YEA] Shanaex1414 from Stockton, CA writes: "My shepherd/beagle Monty had such bad separation anxiety, he'd not only bark nonstop 6 hours while we were working, he'd also chew his fur and scrape his nose (either by trying to escape by licking/rubbing his nose). We tried crating him, tried molasses, and even tried giving him a kong wuth peanut butter or meat which he WOULD NOT EAT! Today, however, he's a brand new dog, and I DON'T have to buy another dog for him! I gave him a light dinner last night and no breakfast today, and he ate his kong! His hunger was maybe a small reason, but the main ingredient was a $9 bottle of the Richard's Organics at Petco. I think the bottle will last quite a while, too. The recommended Ignatia was $20 at GNC and non-refundable. Petco lets you return items that don't work. I gave him the ml dosage with the included dropper, and when we got home, he didn't even bark when we put the keys in the door! This is a completely different dog! I'm amazed.

If they get in the food bowl she's eating out of, if they wake her when she's sleeping, you name it! What's happening to my well behaved baby girl!" I have a siberian husky named Sasha who had terrible alpha issues and she was even becoming dangerous to live with! Today we no longer have any of those issues because I used to dog whisperer method! It sounds silly I know but it really works! Have you heard of Ceasar Milan? He is the dog whisperer and he really teaches you to understand your dog and why she is acting the way she is! He has tv shows on cable and has written several books and I'm sure you could also look him up online as well! His method worked wonders for Sasha and if you really apply what he's saying I really think he can help your dog too! As far as I know simple training with methods that make sense to your dog is the only way to help with behavioral issues without using drugs! I work at a vet clinic and I see a ton of people putting their dogs on behavioral correction pills and I think it's just sad! I really think that if you follow Ceasar Milan's training system you will see a huge difference in her behavior!! Good Luck!! "
