Non the less the need to work may be expressed in guarding you and following you everywhere and you will need to be very careful of exposing the dog to people it does not like and thus you can not bring them everywhere you go and when the pet must be left home alone you must crate them. The most humane treatment for a catahoula suffering from separation anxiety is a crate and force the dog to sleep. And the best time to acclamate a dog to the crate is at about 6-8 weeks and thus avoid the loud and prolonged protests that results in not training your catahoula to crate early enough. One important thing to consider here is that not all catahoulas are the same and for pets I recommend a different bloodline than for working dogs. I have both in my kennel and spend a lot of time on the phone qualifying prospective pet owners from the working dog people. And Veronica, in your case, I also recommend getting a puppy a year or two before the older dog is gone because the puppy will learn so much from the older dog who already knows your commands, programs, and routine.Marcus de la Houssayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08397656387385012319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426305623207189198.post-674610642191382222008-12-04T07:40:00.000-06:002008-12-04T07:40:00.000-06:00Do you sell you pups to non-working homes?
