Question: We have a 18-month-old Lab and he is very nice dog. But we are having trouble with him getting up on the bar. He is happy dog when we got him and loves his walks. There is anything that we should do to keep him off the bar and be a happy dog? — Chris
Answer: A Lab is a pretty big dog to be climbing up on the bar in your house. If you want to stop a behavior, first figure out why it is happening. In this case, why is your dog inclined to get up on the bar? He could be looking for food, trying to see out of the house, chasing a cat, trying to get away from another dog/animal, or height seeking because he is afraid of an outside stimulus.
You can figure out the “why” of what is happening based on when it occurs, which stimuli are present when he does this and if the bar is near a window where he can see out. If you can’t figure out why he is doing it, just videotape him and you will have the answer.
Once you find out why it is happening, just eliminate the reward. For example, don’t leave food out on the counter, confine him to a different part of the house or close the blinds. You can also move the bar stools that he may be using to launch himself onto the bar. If he has an anxiety-related problem (e.g., thunderstorm phobia), see your veterinarian about which course of action you should take.

Question: I have a 6-month-old puppy who has been through two sets of puppy classes. She is a Schipperke. Sometimes, when she encounters people and/or dogs, she barks like crazy, growls and works herself into a frenzy. Sometimes, she notices them, but does nothing. There is no rhyme or reason to the people or dogs. The instructor at my dog training facility says not to worry right now, that she is young. Should I be concerned? How is the best way to handle this behavior without reinforcing it? – Lori
Answer: Leash reactivity is very common. Some dogs are fearful and they react to repel stimuli. If this was the case with your dog, she would show fear in other ways as well. For example, when people reach for her, she would put her tail down, her ears back and cower. Some dogs are frustrated because they want to get to the person or dog to greet them, but they can’t because they are leashed. As a result, they get agitated and start to bark.
In either case, control is the first step. To get control, work on your dog’s basic obedience and use these exercises when she sees any stimulus that she might react to. For example, try to get her attention so that she doesn’t start barking in the first place. The next step is addressing the primary problem. If she is fearful, but not aggressive, you should work on socialization. You can find lots of information on socialization and training on my website at http://www.flvetbehavior.com/Web/Resources.html.
If she is frustrated, you can work on teaching her how to greet other dogs. Once you have good control over her, make her interactions with people or dogs contingent on another behavior. For example, ask her to sit before she is allowed to greet any person or dog. Make sure to implement this no matter what situation she is in, even at home. It will become her default behavior soon. Then, when she sees a dog or person that she wants to interact with, she will sit. If you need help beyond, your dog may be appropriate for the Reactive Dog Class that I teach. You can find information on it at http://www.flvetbehavior.com/Web/Classes_clinics.html.

Question: I have a 3-year-old Golden Retriever named Bart. He has gotten three hot spots over the last few months and I had to take him to the vet each time. They seem to happen every time I go out of town. A friend of mine comes over and takes care of him while I am away. He likes this person and seems to do well while I am gone. Is it just a coincidence or could something be causing the hot spots?
Answer: Hot spots are large, moist areas on the skin that get ulcerated and infected. They become itchy, gooey messes very quickly. It is known as ?pyotraumatic dermatitis.? They can come up very quickly. Anything that irritates the skin can cause a hot spot. Frequently, they are caused by insect bites like fleas, ticks, or bees. They can be caused by a matted coat, or moisture or saliva build-up under the thick coat. Anything that makes the dog itch can cause a hot spot to develop. Some dogs seem to get hot spots any time they are stressed. Certain breeds are more prone to hot spots than others. Dogs with dense thick coats are more likely to get hot spots.
Hot spots are treated by clipping the hair coat over the infected area and gently cleaning it with an antibacterial scrub or shampoo. The area needs to be dried out and often a spray is applied that has an astringent effect as well as an antibacterial quality. Your dog may need antibiotics and an NSAID or steroid to heal the area. Never apply ointments to a hot spot. Your dog will also need antibiotics to treat the infection.
To prevent hot spots, make sure your dog gets brushed and combed daily. Trim or thin out thick or matted hair. Keep your dog free of fleas and ticks. Keep your dog clean and dry. Dogs that swim frequently may be more prone to hot spots.
Your dog may enjoy the person who is taking care of him while you are gone but it is not the same routine as when you are home. He is missing you and may have a nervous itch, which can lead to hot spots.
