VETERINARY ASSESSMENT ALWAYS HELPS TO RULE OUT DISEASES THAT CAUSES A CHANGE IN BEHAVIOR

***FORCE-FREE DOG/CANINE KINDERGARTEN FOR A YEAR TO THREE YEARS IS IMPORTANT FOR THE DOG'S SOCIALIZATION WITH OTHER PEOPLE AND DOGS.***

PROFESSIONAL OBEDIENCE CLASSES, WORKSHOPS FOR SIX MONTHS

A PROFESSIONAL DOG TRAINER WHOSE NON-ABUSIVE, FIVE HOURS PER WEEK, FOR SIX MONTHS MAY BE EFFECTIVE

PLAYDATES WITH OTHER DOG OWNERS WITH A HARNESS AND MUZZLE TO PREVENT AGGRESSION TOWARDS THE NEW DOG FRIENDS, THREE TIMES PER WEEK, TWO HOURS PER PLAYDATE SESSION

SPAYING OR NEUTERING THE DOG WILL LOWER AGGRESSION AND TERRITORIAL BARKING

SYNTHETIC PHEROMONES TO MIMIC A LACTATING MOTHER DOG CAN ALSO BE USED

THE DOG MAY NEED TO BE PUT ONTO PRESCRIPTION ANTIDEPRESSANT EAR DROPS BUT PLEASE CONSIDER THAT AS AN OPTION BEFORE VOCAL CORD SURGERIES OR NON-APPROVED, SHOCK COLLARS SET AT INHUMANE LEVELS

HIRING A FEMALE, MINORITY DOG WALKER WITH OLDER CHILDREN TO WALK THE DOG WITH A HARNESS AND MUZZLE FOR AN HOUR TO TWO HOURS PER DAY EVERYDAY, FOR SIX MONTHS CAN HELP REDUCE TERRITORIAL BARKING. AS THE DOG ATTENDS OBEDIENCE CLASSES, THIS WILL DISCOURAGE HIM/HER FROM FEARING, AND GETTING AGGRESSIVE TOWARDS NON-CAUCASIAN PEDESTRIANS

IF YOU HAVE MORE CHEW TOYS, A STIMULATING, INSULATED, FULLY WIRED, WELL-LIT, COMFORTABLE DOG HOUSE, WITH A COMPLETELY ENCLOSED PORCH, AND A PREDATOR/COYOTE-PROOF, LARGE CHICKENS'  MOVEABLE TRACTOR HELPS.

SKUNKS, PORCUPINES, PREGNANT AND NEWLY-BIRTHED RACCOONS AND MOTHER RACCOONS POSE ANOTHER RISK TO DOGS LEFT OUTSIDE FOR TOO LONG, WITHOUT SUPERVISION. MOTHER BEARS AND CUBS MAY BE A SERIOUS THREAT TO DOGS OUTSIDE ALSO.

AN AGILITY COURSE/DOG PLAYGROUND PLACED IN THE YARD, FAR AWAY FROM THE FENCE, MAY ALSO LOWER THEIR BARKING AND JUMPING AT THAT FENCE WHEN PEDESTRIANS WALK BY.

SETTING UP A RESTRICTED ZONE FOR THEM (WITH DOUBLE FENCING 3 FEET APART) MAY BE NECESSARY.

THE DOG MAY HAVE BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS DUE TO BEING ABUSED BY RAPIST, SEXIST, RACIST, CLASSIST, DISABLIST HUMANS, TERRITORIAL CATS AND OTHER DOGS/CANINE VISITORS IN THE HOUSEHOLD.

SOME DOGS ARE PHYSICALLY AND SEXUALLY TRAUMATIZED FROM THEIR PREVIOUS OWNER(S) OR SHELTER/"DOG PRISON" EXPERIENCE. THOSE DOGS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GO OUTSIDE WITHOUT THEIR OWNERS AND HAVE SEVERE SEPARATION ANXIETY.

SOME DOGS MAY NOT RESPOND WELL TO CRATE TRAINING. SET UP A LARGE CRATE LEFT OPEN WITH SYNTHETIC, LACTATING DOG PHEROMONES NEAR THEIR FOOD AREA AND PUT DOG TREATS, CHEW, SQUEAKY TOYS INSIDE FOR THEM TO FIND THOUGH.

SOME DOGS CAN GET EXTREMELY DESTRUCTIVE TOWARDS FURNITURE, KITCHEN CABINETS, FLOORING, CARPETING, IF NOT PUT INTO A SAFE, "COZY ROOM," WITH FOOD, WATER, LOTS OF TOYS, A DOG BED/CRIB MATTRESS WITH COMFORT BLANKETS, ***AFTER BEING QUICKLY JOGGED/WALKED FOR AN HOUR THREE TIMES PER DAY***
