Then why did you say, "I'm curious as to the designation

Both have their share.
Yes, they do. I was thinking along the lines of the more severe side
effects, something like tardive dyskinesia and liver metabolization as
opposed to the milder, dry mouth, nausea or abdominal distress, etc.
Tardive dyskinesia? The rate of this in humans is extremely low with
SSRIs, much, much lower than it is with antipsychotics, and in some
reports it's not clear that it wasn't a pre-existing condition or a result
of a combination of drugs.
Liver metabolization isn't a side effect - it's what the liver
does to drugs (and many other substances).

Dogs have the same eatin disorders as people
for the same reasons.
are "FOOD MOTIVATED":
Subject: Re: Why does my Retriever push his nose around
his food dish-does a little dance with his head
and wait for release before eating. If the dog wants to play
with the bowl, take the bowl up. Wait a while and try again.
I'd suggest that if the dog continues,
the dog might miss a meal.
If you're concerned about the dog not eating,
put the dog is a sit-stay, put some kibble on
the floor and release the dog to eat.
The simple answer is, "don't let the dog do that."
The dog has trained itself (and you) that this is
an acceptable ritual. If it is not acceptable, train
the dog to behave differently.
Does the dog only do this at your house?
In the regular feeding room? With you?

Date: 2003-05-16 07:58:16 PST
Clearly punishing your dog isn't working. And probably
never will. So I'd suggest you try a different tactic. You
don't have to yell and hit in order to get your dog to behave
well. But you may have to be a little more creative.
You've gotten him afraid of you+cushion, but not afraid of
cushion. So remove the cushion, so that the temptation is
no longer there, until you can get other aspects of his behavior
working with you.
Does he have "interesting" toys to keep him occupied, like a
Kong stuffed with peanut butter, or a Hava-Ball filled with
treats for him to extract?
If your dog is only "good" when you're "not his friend"
it sound like you've managed to teach him to be afraid
of you.
If he's peeing when you're shouting, he's afraid of you.
That's submissive peeing.
Is that the relationship you want with your dog?
How much time do you spend together? How much
exercise do you give him? How many hours a day is
he alone? It sounds to me like he may be bored;
our GSD was pretty destructive at that age until we
rearranged our schedule and spent more time playing
and exercising her.
Have you tried obedience training? Did you take your
dog to any classes to train both you and the dog?
Having an ongoing program of *positive* (no punishment)
training with your dog might go a long ways in improving
his behavior and your relationship with him.
There are a lot of good books on training your dog out
there. I used and like Brian Kilcommons' "Good Owners,
Great Dogs", but there are others that are more recent
and that emphasize clicker training.
I'm not a dog trainer, so others will be along with
more specific suggestions for you.

Hi, Karlee -
Looks like your thread got hijacked :-(
I don't have a lot to contribute, except to say that some dogs
don't seem to have the play drive that others do. My male
chihuahua, Gordo, played with his sister as a puppy, but
wouldn't playwith us, except to fetch.
He's very submissive, and even the most gentle
approaches to play got him cowering. He and his
sister still play now and then (at age 12), but only
if they think no one is watching them.
Weird. He does like to chew on rawhide, however.
Is your dog's regular food kibble or soft food?
If you could induce her to eat a bit of kibble,
maybe that would be a start on the teeth problem.
She sounds like a sweetie!

old yellow lab who was neutered at 9 months,

Yesterday in the park we met up with a gorgeous
reddish-brown and tan mixed female (part lab, weim?,
something with pricked ears?). She was spayed and
a year old.
After the obligatory sniffs, she started to try
to entice him to play and body-slammed him
a couple of times. He started to try to hump
the little flirt - and not just the sideways air
humps that he tries on our GSD - he was
grabbing her around the waist.
I yanked him off and put him in a sit - several times.
But this shameless little hussy kept backing up to
him with her tail in sideways position - an invitation
if I've ever seen one!
Luckily, his owner thought this was all hilarious...
but we sure don't know what to do about Mr.
Hormones' behavior!

were out of the house we kept her confined in a pen in a small room, with
toys and chewies. One time when we came home
she proudly presented us with the pieces of carpet that she'd ripped up
(it was very old carpeting).
She was around ten months old. And one time we tried confining Oppie (Lab)
in the bathroom when we went out for a couple of hours.
We returned to a door that was deeply gouged with his claw marks.
He'd also tried to climb out the window (closed and locked) and bent up
the aluminum miniblinds.
Our mistake was that we hadn't adapted him to the bathroom.
Stupid Mommy Dog!
We took the tactic that other posters have suggested, that is, don't give
the dogs the opportunity to be destructive by confining them with
interesting toys and not much else.
Sometimes, despite your best efforts, they manage to destroy anyhow, but
mostly they'll sleep. The good news was that both dogs were out of their
destructive phase by the time they were about a year and a half old.

Also, make sure that her nails are kept trimmed short enough that they

a finicky period.
Yeah. That was pryor to his POISON eatin stage.a finicky period.
Chile duly observed this, and one day when Dylan didn't eat her breakfast,
Chile did. We caught her just as she was licking
the last molecules out of Dylan's bowl. Despite the look of utter
bliss on her face, we thought she was going to explode!
Chile has since told me that that was the only time in her life
that she actually got enough to eat.
Despite their complaints and doleful, waif-like, edge-of-starvation
looks, we keep them where we can see the outlines of their ribs.

Here's HOWE COME your dogsare "FOOD MOTIVATED":
Subject: Re: Why does my Retriever push his nose around
his food dish-does a little dance with his head
Before and after eating my golden retriever pushes his food dishes with
his nose-around it- as if he is doing a little dance. Does anyone know
why this happens?? its really weird, it goes on for like 10-15 mins.. Any
suggestions???
If it bothers you, take the food dish up. Have the dog sithis nose-around it- as if he is doing a little dance. Does anyone know
why this happens?? its really weird, it goes on for like 10-15 mins.. Any
suggestions???
and wait for release before eating. If the dog wants to play
with the bowl, take the bowl up. Wait a while and try again.
I'd suggest that if the dog continues,
the dog might miss a meal.
If you're concerned about the dog not eating,
put the dog is a sit-stay, put some kibble on
the floor and release the dog to eat.
The simple answer is, "don't let the dog do that."
The dog has trained itself (and you) that this is
an acceptable ritual. If it is not acceptable, train
the dog to behave differently.
Does the dog only do this at your house?
In the regular feeding room? With you?

HOWEDY funky foots,
So what are GSDs really like and why is it that some of you have become
addicted to them?
addicted to them?
GOT ADDICTED to SEALING and EATING POISON.
I've had one, Dylan. Where to begin?
Let's BEGIN with the day Dylan ATE POISONand GOT DEAD on accHOWENT of you couldn't
train him NOT to STEAL STUFF and EAT POISON.
She had a mind of her own,
That so, funky foots?was smart, loyal, demanding, funny.
AND DEAD.She adored kids and put up with a lot of their pulling and tugging. She
was very gentle with our Chihuahuas and let them chase her. She
roughhoused with our Lab until both were exhausted. She was
an alpha,
BWEEEEEEEEEEAAHAHAHHAHHAAA!!!was very gentle with our Chihuahuas and let them chase her. She
roughhoused with our Lab until both were exhausted. She was
an alpha,
and it took a couple of years of training to persuade
her that she wasn't going to push me aside -
INDEED? Is THAT HOWE COMEher that she wasn't going to push me aside -
she STOLE and ATE POISON?
but with maturity she became a wonderful companion.
You mean DESPITE DYIN at 9 years from EATINSTUFF SHE STOLE and of curse, overcoming multiple CANCERS?

I second the training recommendation.
Of course! That's what helped you out sooomuch with your own problem dog. Or more
correctly, that's what CAUSED your problem

And would add, give him a lot of exercise!
Yes, use excessive exercise to control out ofcontrol behaviors cause you don't have effective
training methods.
Your description fits our girl Dylan (not white, BTW) to a T.
Very interesting. White GSD's often have a"genetic component" to their hyperactive behavior.
We trained and trained and trained... several trainers, methods, lots of
time spent with her.
Yes, an excellent idea, furpaw. Tell us HOWE youtime spent with her.
were taught to jerk and choke and confine and
intimidate and excessively exercise your dog every
day for years, to FORCE IT to do as you make IT.
Some may say that the methods weren't effective or applied properly.
Wel, let's just DISCUSS what you did, and EVENYOU will be able to see and understand the insanity
of your so called training methods that caused the
problems you've dealt with UNSUCCESSFULLY.
Could be - we were novices
No. Could be you relied on DISINFORMATIONfrom our lying dog abusing Thugs.
That's what COULD BE.
when it came to training a very dominant dog.
What DOMINANT? That's BULLSHIT. Dogs don'thave DOMINANCE issues unelss someone is
PROVOKING them. And then it's not dominance,
it's FEAR.
We kept looking for nonpunitive methods that would
get her under control.
BWWWAHAHAHAAA!!! You didn't FIND any, did you.get her under control.
Convincing her that she was NOT Alpha took a lot of work.
Yes, because you fought with, choked,crated and intimidated her.
By the time she was about three, she had turned into a real sweetheart.
There ya go! And your trainers TOLD you it mighttake three years, instead of three days as in my methods.
Getting a second big dog (male, nondominant, extremely playful) as a
companion and playmate no doubt contributed.
Because your training methods DIDN'T help.companion and playmate no doubt contributed.
Maturation no doubt contributed.
BECAUSE YOUR "TRAINING" METHODS DIDN'T WORK.And training certainly contributed, even though the results
weren't always immediately obvious.
Ohhh, you said a mouthful. Using the lousy methodsweren't always immediately obvious.
you used caused other seemingly non related behavior
problems that you and your so called trainers aren't
bright enough to trace to the vicious methods you used,
RESULTING IN The Puppy Wizard's SYNDROME.

Subject: Re: dog ripping up cushion
Date: 2003-05-16 07:58:16 PST
Clearly punishing your dog isn't working. And probably
never will. So I'd suggest you try a different tactic. You
don't have to yell and hit in order to get your dog to behave
well. But you may have to be a little more creative.
You've gotten him afraid of you+cushion, but not afraid of
cushion. So remove the cushion, so that the temptation is
no longer there, until you can get other aspects of his behavior
working with you.
Does he have "interesting" toys to keep him occupied, like a
Kong stuffed with peanut butter, or a Hava-Ball filled with
treats for him to extract?
If your dog is only "good" when you're "not his friend"
it sound like you've managed to teach him to be afraid
of you.
If he's peeing when you're shouting, he's afraid of you.
That's submissive peeing.
Is that the relationship you want with your dog?
How much time do you spend together? How much
exercise do you give him? How many hours a day is
he alone? It sounds to me like he may be bored;
our GSD was pretty destructive at that age until we
rearranged our schedule and spent more time playing
and exercising her.
Have you tried obedience training? Did you take your
dog to any classes to train both you and the dog?
Having an ongoing program of *positive* (no punishment)
training with your dog might go a long ways in improving
his behavior and your relationship with him.
There are a lot of good books on training your dog out
there. I used and like Brian Kilcommons' "Good Owners,
Great Dogs", but there are others that are more recent
and that emphasize clicker training.
I'm not a dog trainer, so others will be along with
more specific suggestions for you.

Hi, Karlee -
Looks like your thread got hijacked :-(
I don't have a lot to contribute, except to say that some dogs
don't seem to have the play drive that others do. My male
chihuahua, Gordo, played with his sister as a puppy, but
wouldn't playwith us, except to fetch.
He's very submissive, and even the most gentle
approaches to play got him cowering. He and his
sister still play now and then (at age 12), but only
if they think no one is watching them.
Weird. He does like to chew on rawhide, however.
Is your dog's regular food kibble or soft food?
If you could induce her to eat a bit of kibble,
maybe that would be a start on the teeth problem.
She sounds like a sweetie!

I wrote a few weeks ago about my problem with my new 10 month old Boston
Terrier, who is now 11 months. The problem was he was "humping" my two
Pugs. It's subsided a lot.
He does, however, still try to do it to dogs at the park. I have him on a
15 ft. lead, so I can monitor his behavior. Is there any trick to making
him stop this unacceptable behavior?
Again, he's MUCH better at home.
He gets a LOT more supervised time with the other Pugs and he's behaving
for longer periods of time.
The squirt bottle works wonders with him.
I can tell he's going to be a great dog. I've had 3 Bostons in the
past and I've never had this problem. JJ is larger than most Bostons,
he's 28 lbs and will probaby get a little bit bigger, he'll fill out. He's
handsome, he's extremely playful.
If he were the only dog in the house, he'd be a wonderful little guy. I
believe he's also trying to establish some "top dog" issues.
One good thing is none of them fight, they're all GREAT dogs. Two Pugs and
a Boston is a handful, but once JJ gets over this...um..."hump" he'll be
great.
Advice about the humping in the park would be much appreciated.

Yesterday in the park we met up with a gorgeous

something with pricked ears?). She was spayed and
a year old.
After the obligatory sniffs, she started to try
to entice him to play and body-slammed him
a couple of times. He started to try to hump
the little flirt - and not just the sideways air
humps that he tries on our GSD - he was
grabbing her around the waist.
I yanked him off and put him in a sit - several times.
But this shameless little hussy kept backing up to
him with her tail in sideways position - an invitation
if I've ever seen one!
Luckily, his owner thought this was all hilarious...
but we sure don't know what to do about Mr.
Hormones' behavior!

HOWEDY funky foots,
Doesn't it ever EMBARRASS you that your own
dogs have had EVERY behavior problem in
creation cause you don't have the intellect to
HOWEtwit the cunning of the domestic puppy dog?
Looking for more suggestions on how to appropriately correct
misbehaviors as well as moral support.
FWIW, our GSD, Dylan, was very destructive when she was a pup. When wemisbehaviors as well as moral support.
were out of the house we kept her confined in a pen in a small room, with
toys and chewies. One time when we came home
she proudly presented us with the pieces of carpet that she'd ripped up
(it was very old carpeting).
She was around ten months old. And one time we tried confining Oppie (Lab)
in the bathroom when we went out for a couple of hours.
We returned to a door that was deeply gouged with his claw marks.
He'd also tried to climb out the window (closed and locked) and bent up
the aluminum miniblinds.
Our mistake was that we hadn't adapted him to the bathroom.
Stupid Mommy Dog!
We took the tactic that other posters have suggested, that is, don't give
the dogs the opportunity to be destructive by confining them with
interesting toys and not much else.
Sometimes, despite your best efforts, they manage to destroy anyhow, but
mostly they'll sleep. The good news was that both dogs were out of their
destructive phase by the time they were about a year and a half old.
Good luck with yours... FurPaw
