Akita / Aidi Mix Health Tip

Acupuncture can be a nice add-on therapy for pets with mobility concerns.
I have had multiple patients find some improvement with acupuncture treatments, in addition to the standard medications and therapies. I do not recommend this as a standalone treatment, but do discuss it with owners as another treatment form. Surprisingly, most dogs will lay still for the needle placement and tolerate the entire process very well. Prices will vary pending on your location..

Akita / Aidi Mix Training Tip

Counter conditioning works on changing a dog’s emotional response to another dog approaching his food. Although guarding food is a normal behaviour, it doesn’t mean you have to accept it because it can lead to dangerous situations. How can you have one dog feel happy instead of aggressive when another dog is getting food next to him? If two people work on this at a time, and both dogs are on leash far enough apart, you can give a treat to the docile dog and immediately after to the aggressive one, until you notice that the latter is anticipating a food treat when the docile gets one. Once you see that the aggressive dog starts looking happy and relaxed, move the dogs closer.
Counter conditioning and desensitization techniques are frequently used together.
You can desensitize your dog by gradually exposing him to its triggers and creating positive associations with them. Give your dog a reward when exposing him to his "menace". if your dog is triggered by another dog being fed near him or a person approaching to his plate, sit with your dog while the other dog is in view. When your dog is calm, reward him with a tasty treat.
If any of these does not work, specialists are the right people to handle the problem.
