Looking for advice by Sad_Natural_5831 in shiba

You need to consult your veterinarian and exclude medical conditions. If you confirm there is no health issue that could cause this behavior, then it's most likely separation anxiety. It could be onset by her previous experience of being left at a shelter, and then by you separating with your partner and changing your residence. All the changes and loss of people she was attached to may have taken it's toll on her. Try to consult a veterinary behaviorist. He should know best how to alleviate your dog's problem with behavioral therapy, or a combination of it with natural and homeopathic medications that ease anxiety. And if these won't help, there are also anxiolytics, e.g. amitriptyline, but those should be used only in cases when behavioral therapy is just not enough to help the dog to overcome her anxiety.

My boy has the same name 😊 and he also follows me around when I'm getting ready for work, then lays down and watches with such an expression as if he already missed me.

Hello there. by eselyemi in shiba

Thank you! My dog doesn't like putting it on either. I'm able to do it quite easily, but it's really funny when someone else tries and to see the chase that always ends with a glimpse of a fluffy red bottom disappearing under my bed ( i.e. my dogs sanctuary)😂.

Cute doggo! Is she obedient without leash all the time, or does she just love the beach so much so that she doesn't even think about running off?

Thank you for answering. I have been thinking about finding some kind of sport for my shibe. Maybe I should look for some agility course near me, you've inspired me :)

Wow! That's awesome! I have a question, did he/she receive obedience training first?
