Hi I need some helpful advice on where to go online for tips on how do deal with an extremely anxious dog.
Bit of background ddog is 4 y.o Jack Russell terrier. Had since puppy was great wee thing until about a year ago when she got bit and has since developed a fear of other dogs loud noises basically everything.
She barks and whines when out walking when she sees another dog coming and if a dog runs up to her she looks like she would actually bite so I have to move her away as quick as possible . Now resorting to walking her in quite areas. I know isn't helping but I don't want to her to bite another dog.
Her behaviour in the house has gone completely aswell she follows us everywhere will not sit down. She has always been crate trained and if we put her in there now she barks and scratches to get out. She actually sounds horrendous like screaming.
The vet has recommended a behaviour therapist and one to one training but we can't afford it atm. ( Saving up)
I have two children and worried about her. Especially my one year old as she has snarled at her a few times.
Sorry for essay. But do you think there's anything that can be done in the mean time while we save up ? Like someone on YouTube or a good site anyone has tried . I'm desperate as my partner wants to send her back to the breeder but I love her and don't want to part with her.
Thank you for reading.
