Conversations with Dog

Does your dog scratch so much that you had to remove his collar to avoid listening to the tags jingling every few seconds?

The season for fleas, ticks and worms is here. What can you do when your dog comes in contact with these common creatures? What tools are available to support your dog’s body and skin? How do you remove these pests from your dog in a way that works for everyone? Suzy will offer questions and ideas to help alleviate skin irritation and parasitic intrusion so that your dog can enjoy the summer with ease and joy.

Sabine has been on the show before about her dog Kindra and the reaction she has around kids. Sabine is reporting about the behavior and how it is changed and there will be more tips and tricks for the fearful/ aggressive dog, that reacts to people.

Molly is a big car chaser, is this behavior something that can be changed? What is required to convince Molly that chasing cars is undesire and dangerous?

My dog Paco, passed away last year. He was 13yrs old, a great dog that had a great life …and above anything else he LOVED to ride in the car. I took him everywhere.

I have a new dog now, Sadie, a Sheppard mix that I found at the local pound. It was love at first sight and we are having a great time together, except for one big thing. Sadie has yet, in the six months I’ve had her, been able to ride in any vehicle without getting sick. I so want to be able to take her with me when I go out like I did with Paco, but it is clear that it is no fun for her yet. My question is this, are there ways I can work with Sadie that will help her to be able to ride in the car without getting sick? Also, I have thought that maybe I need to relax into allowing her to be a stay at home dog? Can you help us?

Join Suzy this week as she addresses these questions.

Leila is wondering what is possible to change all the barking from Nettie Lu, her 10 year old. She barks at the younger dog Fina at every opportunity. What is causing this excessive behavior?

Fina also has an issue with the fence and especially the squirrels behind it. Is there a way to change that behavior?

 

Please join Suzy and Leila in the discussion about what might be apossibility for both of these dogs!

Jamie writes: We've only had Koda for 6 months but she's about 4 years old, we think.  She is a great dog in every way except she doesn't do well with other dogs and it seems like she has personal space issues with them, and she guards her food and water from the cat.   

She  went after a dog that came up behind her a couple of different times, and growled at the cat (who she normally is fine with) when he came into the room while she had a rawhide bone.  

She is never otherwise aggressive, seems fine with children and all people, even large groups.  I would love to help her get over these behaviors - she's really a sweetheart but we really want her to be ok in these situations.

On this pre-recorded show Sabine will tell us about her dog Kindra's habit to dominate and bully some dogs. There seems to be no commonality between the attacked dogs...

or is is just not waht you would expect? Could entities be involved in an issue like that? Would you like to know more about what influence entities can have on our animals?
