He's started this since I started tracking Reka. And he just can't stand it
when she goes and he must stay home. If i take other dogs tracking and he
does go, he screams in the car until it's his turn. Once he gets his turn,
he's always satisfied. His turn is always last, because his track is the
first track laid of the day, and he's the last dog to run it, keeping his
anxiety levels high the entire time we are tracking. Usually involving 4- 8
hours. Holding anxiety that long, sustained is not good for any dog. Any
suggestions? This is getting to be a wearisome habit, and intervention is
needed.
Why not put this in behavior where more people will see it?
Anyway, you may consider a bark device for the house. Boxes that make
sound, collars - many choices. Or for the tracking events, a remote
collar you use. It would require some learning of the collar of course,
but I have used one in such situations (over excitement with events) and
it was the saving grace. I had just not conquered Franklin's squealing
and not only do I not believe in hitting with anything, but it would not
have been a good choice for him - he was a fairly soft dog but drivey at
the same time. The collar, used low level for training to self control
and calm, was a very good tool for us.
