hello everyone, i need some advice about my dog it's a little long sorry. my dog was born in my house with 11 brother and sisters, we kept 2, a boy and a girl. my sylvester died 2 years ago and it seems like ever since then bomba (female dog) is always afraid of everything and acting strange. when i walk her to the park she walks by my side on the way there but on the way home she pulls like crazy and gets this weird nervous looking excitement and won't walk straight and i take her to the dog par and she won't socialize. when the oven beeps she gets scared and jumps on everyone and it's just constant fearfulness and she doesn't want to be alone, shes constantly following someone and she tends to get in the way when one of us is trying to cook in the kitchen or do anything so sometimes we have to keep her in a room because she's always right under our feet with my mom my dog won't walk right at all with her she always wants to be in front and when my mom takes her to the dog park she refuses to leave her side and is even more fearful. I've heard that after awhile dogs move on but shes always so anxious fearful and shy and i don't know what to do, maybe she doesn't know what to do with herself? they were together since birth so it must've hit her hard. i don't know what to do for her anymore any advice would be awesome, thanks for listening
I'd assume its because she's alone...she has separation issues from her brother who she'd been with since birth. Did anything ever happen to her like getting hit by a car or coming close to it? We had a dog that became that way after coming close to getting hit by a car. I'd suggest taking her to the vet and see what they say....sometimes they are really good with mental problems pets have.
I don't think she ever had trauma like that, but when my cousin moved in he brought his little pitbull puppy becaause his parents hated it and it was so small it had to stay in the house because we have coyotes. My dog got so jealous that she would find any way to get in the house so she basically made herself an indoor dog. She's had a pretty good life though but now it's based around fear and anxiety and the vet just told me to give her attention which I have =/
ask your vet. to put the dog on xanax. i used to work as a dog groomer and we had alot of dogs on it for anxiety
