Our mini schnauzer is just over a year old. She has always been a bit highly strung from being a puppy but her anxiety has got progressively worse. She's absolutely fine and totally loving with people she knows but if a stranger comes near her, or even looks at her in the wrong way she goes nuts, properly snarling and barking. We have to be really alert with her when we are out on walks as people do think it's ok to just come up and try and pet other people's dogs even though she wears a 'nervous' harness and we ask them to stay away.
So at the vets today he recommended a local behaviourists and also suggested we put her on anti anxiety drugs (I can't remember what the drug was called) as well as a lot of behaviour modification training.
I was just wandering if anyone has any experience of these, did they help, did they have any side effects?
