PROBLEMS WITH DOORBELLS?

Does your dog bark, show aggression or other unacceptable behavior when the doorbell rings?  Maybe there's something here to help!

Pet Fear Faders offers a CD of Doorbells and Knocks to get your pet accustomed to the sounds.

The Marin Humane Society
has some ideas to address this challenging problem.

The Dog Who Loved Too Much

Dr. Nicholas Dodman 1996/1997. Dr. Dodman has given us a very readable book that is different from common training books in that it isn't a "how to" book for come, sit, stay commands. Rather, this book covers case studies of dogs with behavior problems divided into three overall categories:

• The Aggressive Dog,

• The Fearful Dog

• The Obsessive/Repetitive Dog.

• separation anxiety in both young and older dogs

• thunderstorms

• fears from unusual sources - miniblinds?  trash collectors?

• fear of people leading to aggression
