@johnemmanuel This is interesting to hear, and thanks for the suggestion! So the boarding option that fell through for us was a board and train option. They don’t have any of the immersive training available until next year, but we were at least hoping to board our pup with them seeing as they...

@anthonyhuber Thank you! We’ve tried CBD that hasn’t helped but I feel like that market is so hard to navigate and you never know if you’re getting the good stuff! Valium isn’t something we’ve tried but I might ask about it as xanax was unsuccessful. Thanks for the recommendation!

@anthonyhuber She’s actually kindly offered to look after our other dog, who isn’t reactive and gets along wonderfully with her pup. When I say that I mean they both tend to be loners, but they will happily lay in the yard together and perk up when a squirrel runs by. We stayed with my MIL this...

@heretolong It can be tough finding a boarding place/dog sitter depending on the level of your dog’s reactivity. My MIL used to dog sit our dog until he became selectively dog reactive and tried to attack her dog. He’s always been selectively people reactive but in the past did well with people...

@imagebeastmarkbeast I am prepared for that, but I would prefer not to. Maybe I wasn’t clear, I’m here for suggestions and strategies on dog care for reactive dogs. I’m interested in how other people do it when they go on holiday. It’s been a rough year and it’s only recently that we can’t leave...

@rose2100 Perfectly put

@campos Wowww. A Vizsla, two Dobermans, a Malinois and you want to add another Vizsla?! If I saw you walking all of those I’d think I was seeing a mirage or something, what a beautiful sounding pack! I cannot believe you’d post this and not post a picture of them, I’m going to need a dog tax...

@irishfn1 Oh wow that can happen?! What happened with your boarding experience? We used Rover before with a couple who had a dog, but that was before our dog became dog reactive which happened last year. They were lovely people but they’ve since got another dog and they aren’t dog trainers or...

@cobondservant I also adopted Pup 2 during the pandemic and she’s had to go a few times (she was spayed right before we fostered her but went into heat anyway which was bizarre and worrying because Pup 1 is a dude). Judging by how after the first time my husband had to literally carry her in...

@marysson I did say to my husband we should muzzle train and I ordered one off Etsy this weekend! However my dog is very, very suspicious and I don’t think we’d be able to get him to the point where he’d be comfortable enough to wear a muzzle in the next two weeks. It’s something that I wish we...

My husband and I have a vacation booked in two weeks; three weeks visiting my family abroad. I don’t know what I was thinking. My mother in law was our previous go to dog sitter, but over the last year our reactive dog has also become reactive to my MIL’s dog, who he has previously stayed with...
