sansoouser Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 I have 2 dogs a male and female, the female keeps clawing at the doors and escaping and running around. My dads friend thinks that if we got a puppy it would solve the problem because he had the same problem and got a puppy and it solved it, so if you have any other ideas please tell me. The amateur shoots his hands out ferociously, but lacks any true power. A master is not so flamboyant, but his touch is as heavy as a mountain.
chh Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 She's not in heat, is she? Not sure how a puppy would solve the problem...if she's not in heat my guess would be she needs more exercise and training.
Fenris-wolf Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 Hum. I don't think a puppy's a good idea -buy a puppy when you need one and have the time/energy to look after one! And I agree with Chh, she probably needs more exersize. If she's on heat... Well, is she neutered/is the male dog neutered/has she had puppies/how old is she... I dunno, eh. But if she is on heat, keep a close eye on her!! Or you might have puppies sooner than you expected. Of course, it may just be her personality, but even if that's the case you could at least alleviate it by taking her out more (ie: to the park/beach/for runs/playing games not going to the movies. Yeah, that was pretty cheap) Let Us Turn The Jump Rope In Accord With Socialist Principles!
sansoouser Posted July 10, 2003 Author Posted July 10, 2003 shes not in heat, and they have been spade and neutered, but it's just been lately when she gets like this, so I dunno.

TrUcUlEnTkNiGhT Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 make the female feel wanted...show attention to it...
Guest Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 I think the clawing is wanted to go outside for some reason. Try to figure out why!
Warp Spider Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 You could use negative reinforcement to stop it from clawing at the door. An electric fence assembly on the door. Or you could just monitor it and throw things whenever it's bad. Or if you have a low-friction floor nearby you can put it on there and spin it around really fast. Any of those would work.

Guest Posted July 19, 2003 Posted July 19, 2003 lol.. spin it around really fast.. I did that to my girlfriend's dog then threw her toy. Apparently my GF didn't think it was funny when her dog ran into the wall...
