Stressed

arousal, excitement

Agitated and stressed older dog can’t leave puppy alone.

Twelve-year-old Cockerpoo Charlie has become increasingly agitated around the puppy as each day goes by. Fortunately the 11-week old puppy is resilient. He’s a Cavapoochon.

Aggression

Aggressive When People Leave

The dog thought I was leaving. She changed in a flash into a snarling, barking, biting dervish.

arousal, excitement

When people come to the front door

A lot of incidents happen in doorways. Over-excited dogs may jump up at people, dogs may control entrances so another dog may not dare walk through. Over-aroused dogs may redirect onto one another resulting in fighting when someone walks through the door, and so on.

Chaos with hyperactive dog

Chaos Jumping all over people, flying behind them around the backs of the sofa, leaping up at faces when they are standing, stealing things then destroying or eating them, tail-chasing round and round, and suckling his blanket. Staffie Marley is a loveable but exhausting, hyperactive dog. When they are out Read more…

Stressed dog, a toddler and a new baby

They also have a toddler and now they are expecting a new baby.

When the little girl runs about Jack can become quite aroused. He grabs her clothes and sometimes lightly nips her. They need to keep a close eye on him. The temptation then is to tell him off rather than to call him away and reward him for doing so

Constantly chews herself

Jack Russell Bella constantly nibbles, sucks and chews herself – or scratches. 

She has many seasonal allergies and allergies to food, but the nibbling and sucking was something else. The intensity and manner in which she chews herself looked to me like she was deliberately shutting out the world.

arousal, excitement

Staffie’s extreme reactivity and fear of bangs

A person like Dudley would be on the go non-stop. They would nev
er stop talking, chewing their nails, demanding attention all the time. They would be unable to listen properly because they were so preoccupied, jumping into the air and screeching at sudden sounds and being inappropriately demonstrative to strangers.

Aggression

Border Terrier a bundle of worry

I was called because they no longer take her for walks due to her ‘aggression’ towards other dogs. This I’m sure is due to terror. She nearly strangles herself lunging at them.

Behaviour and Training

Depressed but comes to life when all alone

For the past two or three months Daisy has become a different dog. She looks miserable and has shut down. She has little interest in food or play. She seldom gets up when people come home. She’s constantly depressed.

Springy stressed and hyperactive Springer Spaniel

Sophie is a 7-year-old Springer Spaniel. She is stressed and hyperactive for much of the time, panting, pacing and crying. This can continue for hours and she only really settles within the confines and restrictions of her crate. It can be very tiring for her family. Springer Sophie and ‘training’. Read more…
