I don't think lopping his nuttz off will stop the whimpering. If I was in that boat I'd cry like a baby.

My 1 1/2 year old dog often makes high pitched whimpering sounds like a squeak toy. For example, dinner time is 5:00. Beginning at around 3:30 he starts whimpering and continues until he's fed at 5:00. Another example, when guests come and he's told to go lay down in his bed, he will whimper...

I haven't checked in for awhile. It was nice to see more posts on my thread. As an update, the problem is solved. Actually, it's a beautiful sunny day today, I was out with him an after lunch, a dog walker passed us, and he just sat quietly until the dog/walker passed. I confess...I'm not an...

Children are attracted to eating lead paint because it tastes sweet. Could be the same with a dog. One possibility.

I do appreciate your help and I hope I can look forward to more of your input in the future. We don't always have to agree in order to get along.

Do you have a pre-1970's house? I think the lead paint ban was '78. Just a thought.

He's so cute and sweet tempered he attracts major attention wherever we go. Especially young women, he's definitely a chick magnet - too bad I'm so old - but even like a contractor in line at Home Depot last weekend was fascinated by him and we spent some pleasant time talking about his dog and...

What I mean is he howls. He doesn't seem to be in pain or agitated. He sings along, but off key, and waaaay behind the beat. He doesn't seem to have any concept of the blues notes or the pentatonic scale. I'm used to rehearsing all afternoon and I don't want to put him in the garage like he's...

Thanks Gonzo. What I did seems to have worked quickly to break the pattern. A walker with a German Shepherd passed us this afternoon and Paki didn't even look his way; we just kept walking. Yesterday a contractor brought his Springer in the truck, no problem. And, last Friday, my tree guy's two...

These are three great ideas. I think some dogs are confused by the very linear motions electric chairs make, which are very different than the movements of a person walking, and also bothered by the electric motor's whirring sound.

Hi Maxy, I'm in Massachusetts too. He's an English cocker spaniel about 14 months old. He may be a little immature in his development; he only started lifting his leg very much a month ago. He's a friendly, outgoing dog, warms up to people quickly, not hyper at all. He's just starting to...

I'm just curious what kind of door you have? I have a full plate glass front door. When my dog decided to bark at everything/nothing outside, I taped a big piece of paper over the bottom half for a month to break the cycle. He got off that kick, I took the paper off, and when people come to the...

Fransheska always offers excellent advice. I'll add that clearing your mind before you start, being a calm presence, and anticipating a more positive outcome, helps to not recycle past anxieties.

I don't use a power chair. But, I've been using 3-wheeled, electric mobility scooters pretty much all the time for about 15 years and Quickie ultra-light manual chairs for out in my truck. Since I became a wheelchair user, I've had some very negative experiences with other people's dogs...

The first thing that set him off was the trash barrels. He won't go near them now. Apparently, he's receiving direct messages from outer space that trash barrels are very dangerous. Next, the garden wheelbarrow. We walked past it a hundred times over 2 months, he even peed on it. Then someone...

I got a couple Martingale collars and I really like them, the kind with a metal ring on each end of the cloth webbing strip and the chain runs through the rings, leash attaches to the chain. They're really much more gentle on his neck, when he does pull the pulling is less frantic, and very easy...

Thanks for asking Brattina. I changed his water to pedialyte and fasted him for a day. Then only a little plain yogurt every couple hours for a day (he threw that up once), followed by a day of plain white rice w/chicken broth. He's back on his regular food and okay now. He might have eaten a...

He doesn't eat that fast, for a dog. I get him very calm & focused before I put the bowl down on the floor, and then about 2 minutes of sit stay before I let him eat. I'll try the yogurt, I have it in the fridge. and the 24 hours would def be breakfast time tomorrow. Thanks everyone. You...

He's a year old and everything else is normal, urine & stool. I didn't see him eat anything. I taught him "leave it" as soon as I got him and don't allow anyone to give him food. There's a lot of crows out now and quite a few fox feces in my yard. He sniffs the fox feces but I don't think he...

He threw up at 3:00 in the morning last night, mostly wet and a few food chunks, then was fine all day. Then he threw up his dinner in a mass around 6:00pm this evening. Just now, 9:00 pm he threw up some yellowish liquid with a little food remains. It's been raw, wet and old out; the...
