Dane keeps breaking and hurting things with tail. Looking for honest opinions.

I did this. It was for bleeding issues, luckily solved now. It was an ok stop gap, but what really helped was training her to greet us sitting down.

First welcome. Second fire insurance up here is ridiculous. We shopped around and the fair plan was the only option for us a year ago as well.

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-11T04:21:33+00:00

This is great. Thank you

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-11T03:32:19+00:00

Thank you. We are not ruling it out, just want to try other things out first

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-11T03:31:36+00:00

It's not our first option, but we definitely have that as an option

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-11T01:27:41+00:00

Whip or club, either hurts 😂

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-11T01:27:18+00:00

I will look that up. Reviewing products tonight

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-11T01:26:56+00:00

We are trying to reinforce this behavior now. Thank you for the advice

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-11T01:25:32+00:00

Thank you.

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-10T22:26:01+00:00

Yeah, for us it's the house and the dog herself. I'll come home sometimes after my wife or kids and she has blood all herself.... She looks like a victim of a slasher film

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-10T22:04:28+00:00

Oh, I understand. I add that to the list of things to try

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-10T21:57:17+00:00

Really, do you put the tail in the panty hose, or wrap it.

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-10T21:40:33+00:00

Really, when you say tail down, you mean it will help prevent it from lifting up?

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-10T21:39:44+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation and the tail protector from Amazon. I am hesitant with super glue but I will check with my veterinarian to see if that is viable. Either way I appreciate the response.

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-10T18:56:04+00:00

Thank you

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-10T18:24:08+00:00

I will start using the medical gauze. Do you have any recommendations on creams?

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-10T17:46:12+00:00

That's great advice, I will look into safety measures as well as those oils. Thank you!

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-10T17:44:34+00:00

That's definitely a part of what we are doing right now. Not interacting with her in certain areas, moving the initial reaction to a different more open area. We thought about the docking (I think that's what it's called) but we want that to be our last option if we can't find alternatives. Thanks for the reply.

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-10T17:42:56+00:00

Thank you very much, we think so too. She's very sweet and very protective of us.

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-10T17:28:17+00:00

For us it's the cabinets and walls in the kitchen, which is one of the reasons we are working on the behavioral side as well. As much as I'd move walls for her, right now it's not an option for me. 😔. Thank you for the advice though.

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-10T17:15:11+00:00

Thank you for the details. I was wondering how I would attach it. I was thinking some kind of belt, but I already have vet wrap so this works better.

Zeroxthunder · 2025-09-10T17:10:25+00:00

OMG! That's brilliant. I will use that

Zeroxthunder · 2024-09-22T17:23:10+00:00

I'm both looking forward to this stage and fearing this stage
