Dog / Poodles - Answered 1212 days ago

I adopted a female Toy poodle that's about 2 and a half years old, who runs around the room every day. It's cute and I don't see anything dangerous about it so I leave her alone, but should I make her stop? Is there a possibility of some disorder? She usually doesn't run around whenever we go to the park - she shrinks behind me and just barks.

In home it is cute roaming around but when it goes in crowd it is scared of people and start barking and hide behind you but With patience, training, practice and kindness you will help your pet relax, understand you and do what you ask. Many dogs bark out of fear. your dog barks may be due to boredom, excitement, guarding, etc The training methods require no more than treats and practice. However, if you find it difficult for your dog to relax or learn, then you may need to visit your vet for meds for aggressive dogs. These will only be needed in some cases and your vet should work along with your training plan to reduce medication as the dog progresses. Understanding fear and stress in your dog Almost all dogs are afraid of something and most of the time this is not a problem because it does not show very often. Methods to decrease your pet's stress levels 1- Keep your dog away from the fear-eliciting stimulus for at least a week (to help those stress hormones dissipate). If necessary keep him home and take him out only to quiet places or at quiet times. Do this until you see some progress This is very important to solve your barking dog problem. 2- Use canine massage: This might seem a little silly, but it is becoming very popular and you can learn how to do it yourself. The idea is to switch from "petting" to "massage" and incorporate it into your daily routine. It will increase flexibility and circulation as well as reduce stress, just like it does in humans! The best part is that you will bond with your furry friend even more 3- Play with your dog: Playing tug-of-war, fetch, chase and other games strengthens the bond between you and your canine friend and makes him feel relaxed and full of the good stress hormones. Training exercises can also be used to enrich your dog's life. 4- Try dog relaxing products: these are natural remedies for aggressive dogs to help them calm down, they can help solve a fear barking dog problem. They are design based on physiology, anatomy and the study of canine behavior. The ones I recommend here are useful and have helped lots of dogs. Note that all of these products will help but will not solve the problem on their own. I hope it will help your problem Stay safe and healthy

Its just a normal behavior of pups, if you make her exercise and walk her around by your own, may be it will overcome the fear of crowd. Moreover she is a young one so it might develop some fear of crowd so in that case roaming her around will work a bit

She is just fine and happy in the cozy comforts of your home and enjoys your company and is excited to be with you , play around , so you must not worry as for hiding behind you in parks ,it's a sign of anxiety and somewhat fear of strangers and you must take her out more often and let her socialise and get acquainted with outside environs and she would eventually learn to be people and dog friendly

What is Hiding? Dogs hide for a multitude of reasons, and in most situations, it is nothing more than an occasional inconvenience. In many cases, it is perfectly natural for a dog to find a cozy space to nap or a place to hide from things that frighten them. If the behavior becomes chronic or interferes with the dog's enjoyment of life, then behavioral conditioning or medication may help alleviate the behavior. If your dog is hiding and showing any additional signs of pain or discomfort, they may be ill and require medical intervention. Common reasons may be: Abuse Illness or injury Noise anxiety Protection and safety Solitude Storm phobia Stress Visiting strangers What to do if your Dog is Hiding If your canine companion is simply looking for a small place to get away and rest for a while, there really isn’t anything you need to do as this is perfectly normal behavior for most canines. If your pet is hiding out of fear, however, your first instinct when you see your pet cowering in their chosen hiding spot is to comfort them. Some veterinary behavioralists recommend ignoring the dog until it is calm in order to prevent the behavior from being reinforced, while others condone comforting the animal in a calm and reassuring manner. If your dog appears to be in distress or in pain, your veterinarian should be consulted to determine the next course of action. It is important in these situations to coax your pet out of its hiding spot gently if at all possible. This is to avoid either injuring the dog or causing the dog to bite in fear. If the behavior is interfering with the dog’s enjoyment of life, a behavioral therapist may be able to help you to create a treatment program based on counter-conditioning training. In severe cases, medications may be prescribed to help alleviate the dog's anxiety

You shouldn't bother about making her stop. You should put your mind at rest, your dog is just fine and there's no possibility of some disorder from your rendering. Such habits are common and typical of puddles.

Running around for toy puddles is no problem at all, it's rather very normal. Outside the park, the dog might not be used to that enviroment and hence is scared

Hello, Thank you for caring about your pet. But for toy puddles, such behavioral habits are not problems at all. It's very normal. Outside at the park, it might be shy or scared of the people around as they might not be familiar. But nothing is wrong with your pet, it's all good. Only ensure you make your environment safe and free of harmful substances that can pose any danger. Best regards

Hi Sandra. There is nothing to be worry. It's normal for poodle to have behaviour like that. You already do right thing. Keep your chocolate, candies, cookies and human medicine in the safe place. If you have another question, let me know.
