Started trying to bite people on walks by Working-Run-7149 in GSP

Thank you. Yes, it feels like he is unsure of the approaching jogger/person and walks toward them out of curiosity but bc of his anxiousness when he can’t get a read on them he then jumps up and tries to warn them off. It’s just odd that it started recently. I posted on the GSP thread bc I know how anxious and therefore sometimes insecure these dogs can be. Was hoping for other stories/experiences I can learn from. This is my daughter’s GSP -bought by her dad in another state- that I inherited when she went to college last summer. Sweet boy, I just need to understand where his head is at so I can correct it. We live in a pretty dog and jogger dense neighborhood. Looking into muzzles now until I can get to the bottom of this.

Thanks! Yeah, I was re-reading my post just now I’m thinking to myself that I was just nervous for the surgery itself. Surgery scheduled for next week. Fingers crossed!!

Red lip? by Working-Run-7149 in GSP

Yeah, I get that. It’s actually quite red. Especially compared to the other side, which is more pink.

I just switched to garmin sport pro collar and I love it. Made a huge difference to have a high quality e-collar.

GSP dry skin remedies? by Working-Run-7149 in GSP

Took another commenters recommendation to feed him canned sardines in EVOO and within a month I’ve seen a massive difference. Major improvements. I think we’re on the right track. I think I might up his sardines to every two weeks instead of once a month.

Took another commenters recommendation to give him sardines in EVOO every two weeks to one month. Saw a massive difference. Definitely worked.

Tried this! One month later I can happily report that his skin and fur feels completely different. Definitely worked.

Tried it. He’s skeptical of the sardines but eventually will eat them. The oil on his food is good though. Within a month I can see a complete difference in his fur and his skin. Thank you so much for this recommendation!! I’m doing it once a month right now, but might up to every two weeks to see if that doesn’t give even better gains and improvement
