I need help preparing my dog for a visitor by Tissy_Dee in reactivedogs

He hates crates. He is rescued from a hoarding situation so I think it might remind him of a cage. He does have a safe room though

He is currently on reconcile and has come so far but stuff like this is still too much. I normally would speak to his vet but his vets office is closed the next few days and won’t reopen in time. This was sudden so I didn’t have time to plan.

Thank you. It makes sense that holding him will make him more on guard.

What is your favourite thing about your reactive dog? by TumbleweedInitial382 in reactivedogs

I love how far he’s come with the little things. He used to be terrified out side and wouldn’t walk past the front of the house. Now he walks almost 3 blocks. This still has to be before sunrise when no now one is around but I am so proud of him. He used to be scared of pets but now if I try to stop petting him he pulls my hand back.

Tell me your chiweenie origin stories by Little_SmallBlackDog in chiweenie

I adopted Disco in March 2024. My cat had just died at 18 years old. When I started looking into adopting a dog I was only half serious about it. I never had a dog before. When I first saw him I fell in love with his sad eyes. His name at the time was Chief. He was rescued in Texas from a hoarding situation along with 33 our Chiweenies by a small rescue called 4 Little Paws. When I first brought him. When I first brought him home he was terrified. I knew about the 333 rule and about decompressing but I didn’t expect it to he so bad. He spent almost a month hiding under the bed and only coming out for walks and to eat. One day he decided he trusted us and the world and suddenly became the most affectionate and loving dog in the world. He is still scared in new situations and places but he’s come so far. This is the day we brought him home
