We've had some tiny wins with our training and anti-anxiety. I hate to admit this, but Lady has been put on anti-anxiety medicine. This will be short-term, but our vet recommended that Lady be on this medicine because she was chewing her feet up out of nervousness. A few of the benefits has been that Lady has been wanting to play more and isn't shaking violently when we go to Agility.

I think there are many factors that have led up to anxiety on crack and a few are my daughter's dog Hudson. Lady does not like him and when he barks, she runs for the closet in our bedroom. Another factor has been our cat Kasper dying, Lady has taken that hard.

One benefit of the medication has been that Lady does not break for the tunnels at class. She's actually run through tunnels and on to the next obstacle. I am more of a behavior modification type of person, but if the dog is doing themselves harm, there may need to be an intervention.

Hudson went to daycare one day last week and there was a huge difference in our dogs and the lone cat, in just one day. I suspect when Hudson moves out August 1st, our household will start to go back to normal. Hopefully, I will be able to ween Lady from her "Happy Pills" and we will not have a life long pill popper.

Friday we had a really good class in Alphabet drills. I had Lady jumping 26" and could not tell any difference in her speed. she was quick and she just sails. Now if I could actually be a better handler and not confuse Lady, we would be golden.
