    Feeling like a failure - reactive doggo

    @freyrtheslayerwolfe Thank you so much!!! I really want to put her on a daily anxiety med especially after my own research feedback from all of you! It just hurts when people snap at me saying I shouldn’t have adopted a reactive dog if I wasn’t a professional. But I think my girl deserves love...

    Feeling like a failure - reactive doggo

    @fairydustlady Omg! I’m gonna get a scratch pad! She’s a pure bred Australian shepherd. I adopted her when she was 4 and she turned 5 shortly after. She’s 6 now. As we speak she’s doing zoomies with my other dog 😭 her hind nails aren’t as long because she loves to kick after doing her business...

    Feeling like a failure - reactive doggo

    @fairydustlady Thank you for your feedback. I also agree that she most likely needs a daily anxiety medication. I currently reside in NYC and finding a vet that comes to houses is hard here. I found one and she is in high demand so we will see what she can do. I have given her medications...

    @reah Thank you so much for the recommendations! One of my frustrations with my dog is in times of anxiety and stress she will REFUSE even a t bone steak! She loves to eat but only when she is happy. That is why teaching her commands has been so easy but grooming is hard :(

    @wrestman001 I’m tearing up. Thank you for the kind words. I won’t give up on her! I promise!!! I’ll definitely look into it! Just added the book to my Amazon cart :).

    @eugenspierer Thank you! I do fall for the puppy eyes a lot I must say. She paces a lot when she is nervous so sometimes I let her roam. She gets along well with my other dog and occupies herself with toys and my other dog when I am not home if I do not crate her as she is not destructive either.

    Feeling like a failure - reactive doggo

    @eugenspierer My boyfriend and brother are very good with giving her space. They don’t pet her unless she comes over and asks. And the second she steps back they immediately stop to let her decide if she wants more pets or to leave. I do not let Strangers pet her. As for crating I leave it...

    Feeling like a failure - reactive doggo

    @eugenspierer Not sure where you are but I’m in the US! :) There is a vet that does home visits near me. I definitely plan to have her come. I’m just a tad embarrassed cause I basically cannot control her when she’s aggressive and fearful cause she will bite everyone even me. I’m also...

    Feeling like a failure - reactive doggo

    @totallylovedbygod I’m considering having her on daily Prozac or something so definitely something I need to discuss. I did a televisit and the vet send me a few things. First Benadryl. My dog somehow got even more hyper on it. So I was sent another med and she got even more aggressive. Last one...

    Repost from r/dogs - was told my a fellow redditor to come to you guys! So here we go: Hey Reddit Family! I ask that you guys approach my post with kindness as I’m feeling very frustrated, sad, and helpless. I have 2 dogs 11M and 6F. Both are adopted. The 11 year old male gives me no problems...
