[NAGDU] Wild to pee

[Cindy Ray]

Jet worked well; she had a lot of stress, mostly related to noise, but when
she was out, she was all business. In thunderstorms she would work but
hurry; I never had her out enough to determine if we were in real danger
then. If we were indoors she would be almost catatonic during the storms.
She drank to excess to the extent I had to measure up her water; she didn't
have the option so much when we were out. When I retired her, she didn't do
it anymore, especially after I found her a new home.

Subject: [NAGDU] Wild to pee

I am having some success stopping Krokus from dragging me to his pee spot by
holding the leash very short and encouraging him to heel firmly but quietly,
with quiet praise.

I'm going to make another appointment with the vet.  Last night, he peed a
bit in the house, because it took me a couple minutes to grab my coat and
shoes.  I was not happy.

 

If he's stress-drinking, wouldn't he drink more when we were out than when
we're home?  Out seems more stressful.

I had a dog who had to retire from stress, and he very nearly got us both
killed.  I don't want to go there again.

Tracy
