Ashley Labelle Just need to know I’m not alone lol

Anonymous they can certainly be a challenge, but if you work his brain, he’ll be quite a bit more manageable. 🙂 what sort of training do you do with him?
-
Ashley Labelle Not much lately but I could run her for 10 hours and she still goes she doesn’t stop and she’s close to psychotic and I mean jumps 2 feet in the air every 5 seconds lol.
-
Anonymous yeah…work on training. just a half hour of training will wear her out…i’m serious! 🙂 plus, poods are SO smart that she could pick up something useful. what does she know beyond basic obedience? have you considered something like nosework or lure coursing?
-
Ashley Labelle I don’t do much really and if I knew what that was I would try it! I have 4 dogs and it’s a full time job lol I was trying to find a trainer in my area but there’s no one 🙁
-
Anonymous well, fortunately, you can train nosework at home! you can also train basic obedience at home. a good source for training courses would be Denise Fenzi’s online sport dog training: http://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/
nosework is scent detection, and it REALLY wears their brains out! http://fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/courses/15
good luck. i know how tough dogs can be – we just have our doberdork, because i honestly would NOT be able to handle trying to train two dogs, let alone 4!

Ashley Labelle Our other dogs are older and pretty good and calm. She’s young and just out of control! Thanks for the link 🙂
My Standard Poodle Scratches Her Head And Snout Until It’s Raw And Bloody… Could This…
My standard poodle scratches her head and snout until it’s raw and bloody… Could this be a skin condition? I feel so helpless and don’t want her hurting herself anymore 🙁

teresa vogt Not a Vet, just looking thru the questions.. I have had Cats that would do similar to the back and tail.. it was thought to be an allergy.. some one cortisone shot later she stopped the chewing and rubbing we now give her a mild half childs dose of antihistamine.. Pets can be allergic to Fleas, Grass it is as wide as humans.. the shampoo used, it could also be a sinus flair up causing the need for the poodle to try to get the irritant out.. you might look at is there something that happens before she starts her active irritation like walk and sniffing.. rubbing face on Grass anything like that Wait for a Vet to give advice as to meds or dosages etc.. it may also be some type of scabies or other mite infestation.. I may be just missing it by a mile, I just wanted to offer my 2 cents worth..

Ashley Labelle I was told to give her Benedryl as it was probably an allergy. But it’s been continuous
My Standard Poodle Is A Little Over A Year Old And A Couple Months Ago…
My standard poodle is a little over a year old and a couple months ago I noticed her head was bloody. After having it cleaned out thinking she just scratched it on something… I noticed she would get irritated red areas on her head. And then would scratch and leave it raw and bloody… It’s happened multiple times now and this morning again when I woke up her head was full of dry blood and wounded. Could it be a skin condition? it’s only on her head and snout that this happens

Dawn Ferara, DVM It could be an allergy or a skin condition Iike a pemphigus however, a vet needs to examine your dog to make a proper diagnosis.
Good Luck

PK Dennis Just as Dr. Dawn mentioned, it would be an allergy, reaction to fleas, something going on with her thyroid, etc. Or it could be mange. I was just reading up on sarcoptic mange since one of my boys is showing signs of this — and read that it is often one of the most difficult things to diagnose. And as a result, it is suspected that this condition is severely under diagnosed! This article recommended that if a dog is severely itchy, with no fleas present, then they should treat for sarcoptic mange. Then, if that does not solve the itch, only then start working on the assumption that it is an allergy.
So, if you don’t have a flea problem I would take her to a vet and discuss sarcoptic mange.

Joe Mccollum You can try over the counter Benadryl. One milligram per pound. And a sock to cover it.
If you have a dog shampoo you could try to rinse the foot which might also calm the itch.
I would be getting to the vet NOW.
