Dog Behaviourist

Pam Mulvany if anyone has her number is brilliant.

She helped with our rescued dog.he lived till a grand old 14.

The key was not to put him in social positions he was not comfortable with. You control and protect him from those situations. You accept he will never be chill.

A previous guy who tried to expose him to more stressful situations to desensitise him made the problems much worse so avoid all ?dog whisperer? types.

There's a dog behaviourist that does a column in the SE22 magazine, sorry can't remember, it's Leonie something

Your ?alert? will put her on alert too.just a suggestion but put her on the lead when you don?t see the enemy breed and give her a treat, let her off again and then when you do it when you see an ?enemy breed? you will have slightly broken the association. Teaching the ?watch me? command also will get dog to focus on you not his worries.

There is an excellent website called Dogsey that has a forum as fabulous as the EDF - the people there were full of brilliant ideas and also made me feel normal with my sadly under socialised rounding-up anxious reactive collie cross,

    • Pickup your dogs shit off the street, it's so simple. Don't own a dog if you cannot do this basic service. Pathetic. Cleaning my shoes of dog shit for the 2nd time this month. What's going on? 
    • Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.
    • But we can train them to kill the foreign invaders, green sqwaky things, and the rats with feathers 
    • Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
