drharps Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Our trainer thinks that getting our dog anti-anxiety medication would be helpful in getting her to calm down so she's easier to train. Our dog can be reactive on walks and in the yard to strangers, and is almost constantly panting when relaxing in the house. The trainer said getting her medication to help would put her in a better state to learn what we want from her. Obviously this will ultimately be our vet's call, but I'm just curious what people used that worked, and what their dog exhibited before and after using the medication. (i.e. how did your dog change when you began giving her the meds?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahA14 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 I have no experience,but seems like everyone uses CBD these days for anxiety (and everything under the sun). Worth asking a vets opinion. My vet vet said it would be worth a try (for a different issue) with my senior dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Coyote Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 You could try melatonin. Just be sure and read the ingredients to make sure there is no xylitol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcy1009 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Hi @drharps , I have a post going about my 5 year old girl , Laika. She suffers from severe anxiety/ panic disorder/PTSD , and I'll be updating the post again tomorrow after we see the vet again. There might be some useful information for you in the thread. Hope everything goes well for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
