[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were told she’s grow out of all the behaviors by age 2 but here we are still having major issues that all seek to point to anxiety: separation issues (like we go upstairs and come back down and she’s panting because we are finally back…. 5 min later, reacts to the small child next door riding his bike, and let’s forget about packages being delivered without her barking so aggressively she seems like an attack dog suddenly, can’t have the door or front blinds open, can’t have friends over because it gets her too excited, occasionally chews toys beyond repair, requires medicine for allergies otherwise she chews her feet, can only eat kibble or she has diarrhea, never sits next to us but instead wanders around looking for something to do or chew, and just generally never seems calm unless sleeping in her crate. She’s an 80 pound hound who doesn’t seem settled even with all that we have done to give her consistently, rules, and training. 3 long walks a day plus running a 5k a few days a week. Does this sound like a dog that medication can help?[/quote]
See a veterinary behaviorist and let them assess her. Some of this just sounds like being a dog like chewing up toys beyond repair (they're normally made like crap anyway), the allergies thing is a problem for a lot of pets not something prozac is going to fix, and if she can't handle anything else but her kibble don't feed her anything else some dogs are very sensitive to food changes-this is not an anxiety issue.
