This is Cornelius Scott and he’s 9. These pics are for tax because I need advice.
My husband and I have been struggling a ton recently as he is increasingly obsessive. If he is not actively being petted, chewing a bone, on a walk or eating he is either begging for water or begging to go outside and repeat. If I don’t jump out of my seat immediately when he signals for outside he pees on the floor out of spite.
Our vet thinks it’s behavioral and related to anxiety. We take him for 30 min walks 1-2 times per day, do enrichment activities and make sure he is adequately cuddled. He is on a daily calming aid, and trazodone as needed.
This is our first time having an aging dog and we are struggling with how to make him less obsessive and more able to relax.
