When Patty tried drugs with Maya she had a lot of bad side effects like refusing to eat, hyperactivity, and other strange things. So she had good reason for wanting to try alternatives first. Patty is an incredibly devoted? pet owner and I wish more people would invest that same amount of time and focus into their dogs' well being as she has. Meds are a fine tool. But when used alone they aren't a magic bullet. Nice work. It's a ... By: sabumitz. on 28 Mar 12, 21:55:32 Nice work. It's a pity though for people who have dogs who would benefit greatly from the use of meds to lower anxiety and stress to? forgo them because another dog who might have also benefited from them, didn't get them, and improved anyway. As the owner said, she was expecting a miracle from them, and didn't get one. That doesn't change the possibility that they were providing relief for her dog and can be a lifesaver for others.

Each time she checks in, she's getting two rewards: a treat and a release cue to "go sniff." She's on a long line here and could ramble around pretty freely if she wanted to. What she chooses most often is a lovely position at my side with eye contact--which is a foundation skill for Loose Leash Walking.

Her only problem: she's 100+ lbs and still thinks she's a puppy. It has taken two months to teach her this much self control. This video shows a redirection strategy I made up to help with mouthiness while putting the harness on.

By: thistlemiss. on 16 Jan 12, 21:49:58 There isn't a lot of information about C.A.T. outside the dog world where it is somewhat controversial. But you can google Kellie Snyder and Jesus Rosales Ruiz who invented it, and find their videos on Tawzer video. I recommend that you give your ig a few weeks to adjust to new surroundings and settle into a good routine. Then spend time each day hanging out with him without picking him up. Just get him used? to you. Then try this C.A.T. approach. Gradually begin picking him up. hey well done on ...

By: thistlemiss. on 26 Dec 11, 01:47:59 Sorry if I didn't get back to you. It sounds like your iguana needs a lot more time to get used to you. If she holds perfectly still and seems really "calm" when you touch or hold her that could mean she is shut down but still very fearful. Then, as soon as she feels? free again in the cage, she panics. Thank you!? By: thistlemiss. on 26 Dec 11, 01:46:17 Thank you!? Thank? you so much ...

By: 33AnImElOvEr33. on 21 Feb 11, 06:04:56 haha well I know it has a lot to do with his environment. When I got my baby, he was more green than he is now, but since I didn't have any green in his tank, he turned sort of brown from the rocks. He's very? pretty. I don't know how old he is, but he is still very tiny. I cannot wait until he is older and a lot bigger. except he really likes to climb on my head... so when he gets older, that will be very difficult. haha :) how old is your iguana?

The iguana needs a really consistent routine first. Once you know what time of day your ig tends to go anyway, you can put him in the bathtub right around that time. Once he goes in the water, then give him some freedom in the house. You can also try using a large cat box full of water and set the box down wherever your ig tends to go until he gets in the habit of going in the box.
