re: Anyone here ever put their dog on Prozac?

quote:gotcha. well, assuming she's getting plenty of exercise and without knowing the dog first-hand and having a feel for her as an individual, the next few things to try are as follows: more exercise at the right time of day (because your level of exercise may not be to the level she wants/needs), simple obedience training (because ob training flips a switch on a dog's head), punishment upon entering and seeing she's misbehaved (will trigger the snowflakes but it works), or, i guess, prozac.
My dog gets lots of exercise. She gets walked every morning, and I usually let her run and chase geese on the golf course when there are no golfers. Her energy level is endless.
but something is definitely missing from her routine. rarely -RARELY- can canine behavioral problems be attributed directly to the dog and ONLY the dog. almost every single time it's the human. you have a standard as her owner -and rightfully so- and she is not holding to that standard. figure out what you all are doing wrong and you'll solve the problem long-term and without the hassle of giving a dog prozac.
assuming exercise is plentiful for the particular dog in question, your other option is to take into account her age: a 7 month old dog (especially with lab blood in her, aka, loves to hold and chew shite in her mouth) who's well socialized and who has plenty of exercise is a totally different dog than one who's 12+ months old. maybe give her time while also finding out what it is she needs to help her and you on the way to being a good pup and master. age is important.
and never underestimate the effectiveness of a simple, somewhat gentle chucking under the chin when she's fricking/has fricked up. it works wonders, and it's not unnatural for a canine to take such punishment.
