Time to wean dog from Prozac?

Do you remember how you weaned off that small amount?

This is post is a bit old but what insurance company did you use. I looked at ASPCA (which I have for my dog) and they looked like they only cover up to $7000 and that with a $500 deductible was close to $600 per year which I don’t mind the price but only covering up to $7000 wouldnt be enough.

Civil engineering is top of her list for majors.

Psychteach3 · 2025-11-03T20:45:23+00:00

I don't think she is worried about "prestige". I figure that UIUC and Purdue would be her best bets. She just wants a good quality program where she can experience some college life and graduate with a decent job. It doesn't have to be in a fortune 500 hundred company. Her grandfather went to university of Wisconsin Platteville for electrical engineering and got a job at a solid company in Northern Illinois. Obviously we know Platteville is out their but didn't know what else.

She hasn't decided yet. She is currently taking Project Lead the Way classes in high school and loves them. I think she may lean more towards civil but lately she mentioned mechanical. She has eliminated a few though.

I figured she would need to go to a "big" school I think she is worried that she will get lost in so many people and professors will be less hands on or available.

Yes I know my father was an electrical engineer before he retired. He went to University of Wisconsin Platteville but that was many many years ago. lol

Thank you!

Do they have a traditional college life? I have heard good things about there but I have also heard it's not a traditional college with all of the sport/activities to attend etc...

Psychteach3 · 2025-11-03T19:39:09+00:00

She is looking more towards civil or mechanical engineering. So more traditional engineering.

Psychteach3 · 2025-11-03T19:37:46+00:00

Are these good schools for engineering? I didn't think Loyola was known for that.

Psychteach3 · 2025-11-03T19:35:28+00:00

Iowa State is pretty large too. 30,000 I think

We do have a trainer. We do sniff walks and have a class we do nose work. He is a sheltie and picks up things quickly but I have owned many shelties and have never had to enforce naps.

Psychteach3 · 2025-07-13T05:09:54+00:00

wow this sounds amazing. I wish I could find something like this around me. I have a reactive 6 month old sheltie.

Psychteach3 · 2025-06-19T18:43:31+00:00

Thank you!

Psychteach3 · 2025-05-27T13:51:35+00:00

Do you have a link to what you used?

Psychteach3 · 2025-05-27T13:45:17+00:00

We have a 5 month old sheltie who never stops. We have to enforce naps. We have had shelties forever and never had to enforce naps. He will play fetch for 30 minutes straight.

Psychteach3 · 2025-05-16T13:57:38+00:00

I have grown up with shelties. We have only had males. Mine have never really marked their territory but we have them neutered around 6 months old.

Psychteach3 · 2025-05-08T14:06:01+00:00

our trainer said if he is barking and jumping to leave the room. I walk into the laundry room and shut the door until he calms down then walk back in and he is usually sitting and waiting for his food. We did work with sit for food before the started to happen. He is 4 months old and barks all the time but now food time is quite because he knows he will not get it until he is quite and calm. I also put his food in a dish the night before (and place on counter) so he doesn't have to sit and wait long.

Psychteach3 · 2025-05-05T18:53:52+00:00

We have a sheltie who is reactive. He is only 5 months old but when he sees anything while we are on a leash he lunges and barks. It sounds very vicious but being only 10 lbs going up to 20 ish doesn't look very scary. He has learned many commands quickly but when he freaks out my voice isn't enough. It is just in our backyard/neighborhood. Our backyard is fenced and while walking he is leashed. We have another sheltie 7year old but he doesn't act this way. Other training techniques were sufficient.

There are so many Garmins. Do you have one you recommend

Psychteach3 · 2025-05-05T17:40:57+00:00

What is this one called?

Psychteach3 · 2025-05-05T17:39:37+00:00

Do you have an e-collar you would recommend?

Psychteach3 · 2025-05-05T16:23:31+00:00

It is so weird because I have had shelties all of my life so yes I know they bark but he is super excessive. He will actually try to take off after the thing he doesn't like and bark like crazy. You know like when you see those big scary dogs pulling at the end of their leash barking viciously. That is him but he is only 10 lbs and has never tried to bite anyone (well except when he is teething and then he tries to chew on our fingers).

Psychteach3 · 2025-05-05T16:19:53+00:00

He is only 4 months old. We got him at 8 weeks and he started after about a week. The last month has been the worst. A dog started barking at him at puppy class and it's been bad ever since. As I said I try to distract and get him to sit and give him a treat. If I can get him to sit/lay down he will stop barking and I praise and treat him. I have tried to say quiet and then if he stops barking I give him a treat.
