Question: Our 5-year-old chocolate lab treats the swimming pool like it is hers. She wanders into it whenever she feels like it, especially after running hard or playing ball. How can we teach her the pool has a boundary and she needs to wait to be invited to go in? — Drew
Answer: Labrador Retrievers, as well as many other breeds of dogs, love to swim. It is the perfect way to relax and cool off, and it is a great way for them to exercise and entertain themselves.
Swimming is a non-weight bearing activity that helps condition muscles and joints and can help dogs with arthritis.
I recommend dogs always be supervised when in the pool. Dogs who have never been swimming should be fitted with a doggie life jacket for the first few times in the pool. Not every dog is a good swimmer. Unfortunately, every year many dogs drown in backyard pools. It is not uncommon for a dog to fall in the pool. They often try to turn around and get out at the same place where they fell in. Many dogs cannot climb out over the tile edge. They eventually get exhausted and drown. Always teach your dog where the steps are and how to get out.
Make sure to dry your dog?s ears after swimming and apply a good ear cleaner to help prevent ear infections. Occasionally, dogs may need to be restricted from swimming daily if they have skin or ear infections that need to stay dry to heal. The easiest way to accomplish this is by placing a pool fence around the pool and not allowing your dog access to this area.
You may need to leash walk your dog if the only fenced yard that you have is around the pool. If you want to try to train your dog to stay out of the pool, it will take a lot of patience and practice.
In a good basic obedience class, your dog can learn commands to sit, stay, come, leave it, off, and others. These commands will help you to direct your dog to stay out of the pool. Your obedience class trainer can help you with specifics. Clicker training can also aid you in accomplishing this.

Question: I?m worried about the strange behavior of my 10-year-old female, spayed Yorkie. She rattles the gate at night trying to get out so she can go out on porch through the doggie door. The gate keeps her with us and she has bedroom and kitchen for space.
She has always slept with us and now she has nights when she is unable to settle down. We took her to our vet a month ago and were told since she is a senior dog to cut back and change her dog food, which we did.
We switched from Cesar to Iams and she seems to like it alright. She also gets Royal Canine for Yorkies and a few treats. I should say I always let her out on deck before we go to bed.
What is wrong with her? I should also say we have always spoiled her and she is used to having her way.Thank you for any help you can provide as her gate rattling is driving me nuts. I would like to be able to go to sleep. — Norma
Answer: It can be very frustrating to get up night after night with a pet. You took the first step to get her a good comprehensive physical exam and change her diet. Since nothing major was uncovered at the exam, you need to have a Senior Wellness blood profile done with a urinalysis. Many older dogs have urinary tract infections or kidney problems. An infection can cause her to get sudden urges to go outside to urinate.
The sooner that the problem is found and corrected the better. Long-standing bladder infections can lead to more serious kidney infections if not treated in a timely manner. A simple urine analysis can give your veterinarian a good idea of what problems may be causing her restless nights. Urinary infections are generally treated with antibiotics.
Your pet?s blood test will help to make sure the liver and kidneys are still functioning normally. Often the results of the blood testing may uncover the need to change the diet to an even more specific formula and sometimes a prescription food is needed.
Even thyroid disease may cause changes in nighttime behavior.
Remember older dogs don?t like change. Try to keep your bedtime routine the same. Make sure she goes outside to eliminate right before settling down to sleep. Give her a comfy orthopedic doggie mattress and make sure the room is dark and quiet. A gentle comforting massage can help her relax and go to sleep.
Dogs can get cognitive dysfunction similar to what people experience as they age. They can have changes in nighttime routines, as well as a decline in other mental areas. It is important to do blood work and rule out other physical causes of these behaviors prior to treating for canine cognitive dysfunction. Remember not to scold her for her behavior. It will only increase her anxiety and make things worse.

Question: My cockatiel squawks relentlessly when I leave the room. He?s around 15 years old, and drives my wife of four years crazy. He is very attached to me and only squawks when I leave the room, and doesn?t care if anyone else stays behind to keep him company. A small flick of water off my fingers stops him for less than a minute, since he hates water, but that is very temporary. Help! — Tom
Answer: A screaming bird can cause lots of anxiety. Cockatiels are flock birds and your bird sees you as part of his flock. Sometimes the bird will bond with one family member like they are their mates. This tends to cause problems.
Birds need to have a balanced lifestyle. In the wild they would spend much of their time and energy foraging for food, some of their time would be spent interacting with the flock and grooming or preening. When the food supply is good and there is time left, then breeding and rearing of young occurs.
In a captive bird?s life, we supply them with their full day?s supply of food. They don?t have to work to find their food and it can be eaten in 15 to 20 minutes. Then the bird has nothing left to do with their time. They often resort to over preening or feather destructive behavior. They may get more vocal and scream to get attention.
Your bird is calling to get your attention. You need to start by giving your bird a balanced lifestyle. Convert his diet to pellets and then provide foraging toys to make him work to find treats and food.
Spend time with him training him to do different behaviors, including spending time on a portable play perch alone. Reward him for being quiet with a special food treat. Leave the room for short periods and return. If he has been quiet he gets a treat. Ignore the bad behavior by turning away or leaving the room. It is best to never punish an undesirable behavior, as it can cause more anxiety and other bad behaviors.
Make sure your bird is healthy. Take him to your veterinarian for a full check up. Disease and pain can cause unusual behaviors. For more in depth information on enriching your birds life and training for a balanced lifestyle see www.veterinarypartners.com or www.goodbird.com.

Question: About five months ago, I adopted two beautiful cats, a 5-month-old, and a 3-month-old. The older one is getting along just fine. But the other one is so scared of everyone; he hides all day long and does not come out to play. We have tried to play with him, with his toys and all he does is run away. When I try and groom him, he shivers so badly, it?s sad. He urinates on my daughters? beds when we’re not home. I’ve tried everything, but nothing works. - Deborah
Answer: Your cat sounds like a very stressed-out kitty. Many cats have a strong genetic predisposition to fearful behavior. In addition, often they have gotten poor starts in life with no socialization. These factors combined can make for a real fraidy cat. Follow the tips below to help him come out of his shell.
1. Give him some space. Give him time to himself in a room with a litter box, food, water and toys. Close the door and don’t let the other cat in at that time. If his favorite person can be with him at this time, all the better.
2. Give him safe passage. Make sure that he can get to all of his resources (food, water, resting spots) without encountering the other cat or any people that he is afraid of.
3. Enrich his environment with toys, hiding spaces and high resting spaces. This alone can really change a cat’s behavior. You can find two articles on cat enrichment on the articles page of my website: www.flvetbehavior.com.
4. Try a Feliway diffuser. This is a readily available product that may help to reduce his anxiety level.
5. Do not force him to be with any particular family member, feline or otherwise. Pulling him out and forcing him to be held or spend time with the family will only make him more phobic.
