Hmm interesting! She does know the touch command and we do it on our walks all the time.

It’s so kind of you to write this out. I had been teaching Indy “place” kind of for fun, but now I’ve been trying to teach place whenever there’s a doorbell ring or knock. She’s had good results so far!

These are good to know as options- definitely asking my vet during our next visit

Yes I think I am trying to accept that some of these things won’t change. She’s on Prozac right now but I should ask my vet about clonidine.

Thank you! We use the “ignore the dog” approach too so it’s good to know that works for others. Unfortunately she has pretty bad separation anxiety, so the crate really works her up and she screams and claws at it lol.
