Hi everyone ! Our German Shepherd Jade is the joy of our lives but
she has a problem that I can use some help with.
Jade is almost 3 shes never been spayed. Jade is VERY nervous she
paces and runs in the house trying to escape when ever she hears
a truck or bus in the neighborhood. Most times I cant even hear any
thing at all but her ears will stand up and shes off running to get
away from something. If it is a VERY CALM day with No Noise outside
I can walk her perfectly on a leash . SHe walks at my side and wont
pull at all. If she hears any little noice like a truck anywhere in the
area she FREAKS!! SHe pulls, jumps trying to escape. I use a pronged
collar on her for walks, even that dont slow her down. I try to snap her
chain to get her attention but I can only get her attention for a second
She is fixed on the noise that she fears and getting away. I worry
that she is not enjoying life as she should, she should be playing instead
of pacing in fear. I worry that someday she willl get off her leash
or get loose and run in front of a car or something. Lately It has
gotten worse and I Cant even take her for walks. Now all I
can do is take her around the yard So when she starts to panic
real bad I can make it back in the house with her withoout one
us getting hurt. We love her so and want to break this fear
in her. Does anyone know if spaying will calm her down or
have any ideas I can try with her. Thanks Star
