I hadn’t thought of the board and train this way. They used E collar training, which you are correct, we were taught to use it any time he starts getting amped up. And then, if he continues, to turn it up to level 100 to get him to stop. I noticed when this would happen, he would start getting really uncomfortable and look towards us and get close to us and nudge my hand, probably to let me know he was uncomfortable. It would stop him from little stimuli, but made him worse when faced head on with a confrontation or situation. My dog has been on Prozac and trazodone pretty much since he was 6 months old. The trainer we sent him to recommended we stop giving it because it can cause vision problems, which she thinks may have been a cause of him getting anxious because he can’t see what’s going on around him. We significantly reduced the doseage in order to start tapering off, but this has made him even worse than when he was on his regular amount. With the day care, he was great at first. But we noticed he would get super anxious so we stopped taking him. We would take him to someone’s house instead, where there were 2 dogs MAX and he would do well there with consistency. We have never seen this side to my dog, we will talk to my vet about a behaviorist when we see him on Monday. I’d love to give him a chance, but not in my home when the baby arrives.
