Helping a Fearful and or Aggressive Dog

Dr. Sarah Video: Training your dog.

Courtesy of Life's Abundance and the May 2015 Newsletter:

Sometimes, dogs behave badly. Going nuts when there’s a knock at the door. Over-reacting to the tiniest of threats. Freaking out over having their nails trimmed. Worst of all, if the proper steps aren’t taken early on, behaviors like anxiety and aggression can become the norm, rather than one-off instances.

In this episode of Pet Talk, Dr. Sarah and her canine assistant, Alma, demonstrate two effective training techniques that can be used to overcome unpleasant reactive canine behaviors. We’ll be covering the topics of desensitization and counter-conditioning, plus why it’s important to set realistic goals. And above all, try to have fun whenever you’re training … your dog will thank you for it.

Preventative care for our companion animals means more than just vaccinations.

Dr. Sarah goes over veterinarian annual exams and the detail it can include.
There are also semi-annual exams depending on the age of your animal.

Some of the points in this video that you and your veterinarian will discuss: -


- Does vaccination have to be given every year? -
- Has anything changed with your god and or cat? Eating, drinking, mobility, going to the bathroom etc.


The exam itself includes - Tip of the nose to tail exam!


So much goes into the exam to determine if anything might be going on.


Early detection of something now could be better than dealing with it when the issue has caused pain or problems later.

Another great video by Dr. Sarah courtesy of Life's Abundance and the January 2014 Newsletter:

Summer isn't the only season it can be dangerous to leave your pup in the car.
Since snow can cover scent - always keep an extra eye on him/her as they may not be able to "smell" their way back.

A canine coat might be a great idea as well as boots

Be careful when your dog wants to roll around in that snow b/c glass or other dangerous thing could be under that snow you can't see.

A dry winter air means always have clean fresh water water and so much more!
