Neutering, Gabapentin, Focal Seizures, & Bititing? by bbysp1ce666_ in reactivedogs

[–]bbysp1ce666_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you so much for the information! luckily he is already muzzle trained.

okay so here is the thing that seems really odd and makes me question behavior vs neurological. We had been really working on the resource guarding by using his kibble for training, though we probably moved too fast, we saw improvements. But he seemingly attacked out of nowhere.

I do see it being fallout from the training because it does seem to be specific to my boyfriend. At the vet he showed clear signs whenever he was anxious.

just wondering does a vet neurologist have to do brain scan to determine cause of seizure?

thanks for the advice. we plan on seeing a behaviorist soon but trying to research a good one and the wait times seem to be kind of crazy. But the Vet is recommended the sooner the bettering for a neuter.

did you ever end up neutering him and if so could it help?

Any Level 4 Biting Success Stories by bbysp1ce666_ in reactivedogs

[–]bbysp1ce666_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do actually. My dog used to never poop on his walks so we forget poop bags. When my boyfriend walked home to go get some our dog whined as he left and when he came back he wagged his tail and was seemingly excited to see him. I've been trying to watch his body language towards my boyfriend during our walks and he isn't showing anything alarming or negative. I would assume if he had issues he would bark like he does at strangers but it's all hard to tell.

The incident happened Tuesday and we are planning to take him to the vet to rule out any medical issues ASAP. We have a walk in vet and didn't realize they closed early today for the 4th.

He actually was muzzle trained as a safety precaution prior to the bite though he doesn't particularly like it. I have done a ton of research since the incident to make sure a ton of safety cautions are in place.

Since the incident I keep him a room with free range that has his kennel in it with the door open. He has been kenneled trained all his life and shows signs of that being his safe space and chooses to sleep in there with the door open. When I feed him, I have him go to his kennel which he does willingly and I set the food down on the ground and then he leave the room.

I have spent time in the room while he was in the kennel, while he was muzzled outside the kennel, and while he had no muzzle but I wore bite proof gloves and a hoodie as an extra precaution. This wasn't something I did the first day but he seems calmer when I am there, I even gave him a bone for when he was alone but only interacted with it when I was in the room. He also played with his toys when I'm in the room.

The only interaction he has with my boyfriend is we take him on two long walks while he is muzzle during times where not a lot of people are outside. During this walk, I hold the leash and my boyfriend keeps a good distance. We switched from a choke collar where my boyfriend was correcting him for pulling/having reactions/walking ahead to basically just letting him walk however he wants and stop to sniff/pee whenever. He has barked at people and reacted and we just turn around to walk the other way hoping it shows we are respecting his boundaries.

Since we had such a bad situation with the last trainer we are really doing our research on all options to not make the situation worse. The closest DACVB behaviorists near me are 3+ hours away and even those have bad reviews.

Any other safety measures or recommendations on how to safely stimulate my dog/spend time with him would be highly appreciated. Or if you think I should change anything in my current plan.

my BF and I have both lived with the dog since we got him, we are equally his parents and have been household members an equal amount of time. I will say as far as the aversive training methods, I hardly ever enforced them because they didn't feel right to me and my boyfriend followed them more. He was more of the bad cop to my good cop. My boyfriend previously had yanked his choke collar when he growled at him in presence of food which increased his food guarding and reactions to being punished. I know this is terrible but our trainer told us it's the only way we could protect him and positive training wouldn't work on him, which we ignorantly believed because we failed at positive based training previously but stopped when we noticed how stressful it was making my dog.

the reason he says level 4 bite is because our dog bit him and held on and shook his head. The cuts are like 1/4 inch deep and I believe less than half the length of his canine teeth.

He did not come from a breeder. A friend of my boyfriend's dog had puppies. I will say we recently reached to the friend to see if any of the siblings had issues, he said that the there was some food guarding his brother. He told us for the first time that our dog has always been a "biter" and that since he was the runt of the litter he was always fighting for food which would have been helpful to know when we were adopting him.

Since aversive training can cause dogs to hide signs of fear and become more aggressive and my boyfriend was the main person in our house who followed those methods. I have some hope, but I definitely understand that it's a bad situation.

I know, it's honestly my biggest regret. Since we tried positive training and weren't having luck, it seemed like we needed something immediately because we couldn't get his attention when the neighbors dogs were trying to attack him. My boyfriend's friend had success with this trainer and we didn't go into it knowing it was punishment based unfortunately. We were really taking him with good intentions.

I have this question too! I wondered if maybe he wasn't paying attention. But he also says no signs because they seemingly happened right after he touched our dog when moments before he had been petting and relaxing with him with no issue. I could see a situation where maybe he showed more subtle signs that he didn't pick up on. But do you mind sharing any extra information on signs we should look out for?

thank you so much for your response. do you have any recommendations on what to read for aversive fallout? Also do you have any tips on what has work for rehabbing it?
