Hi Irene,
There is a lot about our everyday world, like staplers, that dogs find incredibly scary and frightening. You can certainly help ease your dogs anxiety by showing here that she can trust you to keep her safe and these things are in no way a concern to you at all. The other behaviours you mention are actually also really common behaviours that we deal with on my website TheOnlineDogTrainer.com where we show you very clearly how to respond…maybe take a quick look…its a $1 trial for 3 days…all the best Doggy Dan

I have a Finnish dog dog 14 months old, she was very afraid of rockets on New Year’s Eve. She turned off and did not move from her hideaway, so I put on her collar and tightened it so she started walking. She has had big problems now with all kinds of sounds. Today she responded when I used a staple gun, she shut down as on New Year’s Eve. What can I do? Tried calm freezer and walked into the garden and walked, stopped, start and change.
I also have other problems with her that she only attempts young dogs and puppies and she pushes down to the ground and groals. Older dogs can she play with.
She whines as I go to town with her. She barks out birds and other dogs and barks out people at a distance.
If I have her loose at home she runs about 200 meters but comes when I call out, i do not like she running so far away, so now I use long lines.
At home, I have been able to stop her from barking on birds since yesterday. It works well with food, have tried to eat above the food bowl.
Myself i’m whiplash injured so i do not have the energy when she pulls so i have a leash around my waist with a flexi leash. What can i do?

Hi Michelle,
It will make it a lot easier to perform a Calm Freeze if your dog is wearing a collar but you may only need to have them wear it when you are home with them. If you prefer that they not wear a collar, and you need to use a Calm Freeze, then you can use a soft slip-lead to place around their neck and hold it shorter in length to prevent them from moving around too much. Once they are calm you can remove the lead and go back to what you were doing. Hope that helps, Doggy Dan

Hi Ken, I am always extra cautious when giving medications to pregnant or lactating dogs and so I always speak to my Vet for advice and for peace of mind. So I recommend you run this one past your Vet for their professional advice. Best, Doggy Dan
