He is 20 months that is correct

I like to think it’s not my handling cause he’s got this issue with my boyfriend as well. Not only that but we’ve gone the last 8 months or so with no issues and for some reason he started regressing again. We are very patient and nurturing and do everything right by him in every way possible...

Side note I forgot. The next level of fear is when I try to work him through it and walk by once he’s by it he tries to run and pulls so hard forward his prong collar has been cutting his neck often leaving little marks and it breaks my heart. I try so hard to just get him to stop and slow down...

Hello again everyone! I’ve asked this before back when onyx was 8 months old, questions around anxiety, but I’m back to get some additional help. We live in downtown Toronto, he’s been here since he was 2 months old and he’s always struggled with things like garbage cans, garbage bags, anyone...

Hmm not sure. Didn’t have it at bed time

Hi guys Wondering if anyone has ever seen a bump like this. Found it this morning under neath onyx’s right eye. Doesn’t seem the be bothering him when I touch it or examine it. Personality and behaviour totally normal. Just not sure what this is. Any help is Appreciated !

Hi guys! Just want to see if anyone can guide me a bit around how to properly address keeping an eye on your dobes health and staying on top of it. Onyx is a year and a half now and I just am curious when he should start going in to have his heart checked out. Is it at 2? His embark results did...

No we’ve been done posting for 3-4 months now. It just appeared after he went camping with my boyfriend so maybe a bug bite ? The vet was overwhelming me with information about it maybe is a hystiocytoma or a viral papilloma but didn’t even seem sure so I thought I’d turn to this forum which is...

Hi there! I found this white bump on my 9 month old dobies ear and don’t know what it is. It’s gotten little bigger over the last few days. Doesn’t seem to be bothering him too much.. he was scratching a bit today but nothing crazy. He doesn’t seem in pain when I touch it and the vet is unsure...

I take him to the park everyday to watch the people, the dogs and just take in the sounds. Something I’m doing to continued exposing him to as much as possible. When I sit down he lays on me as close as possible but his head is moving a mile a minute looking in every direction. One second he’s...

Thanks for all your replies ! Always helpful. In the moment it depends on what I’ll do. Not knowing what triggers him makes it hard to react or not react. Sometimes we are just walking and he starts losing it and pulling and pulling me with him like he can’t even feel his prong. If it’s a moment...

Hi guys! In need of some help with my 8 month old boy onyx. We have struggled with him and his anxieties since the day we brought him home at eight weeks something we thought would go away at first because he was just a baby, but still remains. He has these irrational fears of things that...

Yeah so he’s totally back to normal now. It’s been about a month since this all happened but he’s back on track and doing better than ever. We give him goat milk kefir with his breakfast everyday! We also continue to give the probiotics and have a gut soothe product on hand that has helped in...

Yeah ok perfect. We don’t force onyx to do anything he doesn’t want to. I can tell when he’s hyper and has to get his energy out. His day stats with breakfast followed by a nice walk or indoor games (if it’s raining or super cold) with prey drive toys, followed by a nap. After that we take him...

No cats! We watch him 24/7 but obviously t there’s always a chance of them getting into something. Giardia is a very difficult one to avoid. They lead with their nose and mouth usually follows. Vet says it could have been from anything. We live in downtown Toronto Canada so it’s a big and...
