I need something that has to be homemade with limited resoucesHow about a mummy? (wrap myself in toilet paper?)
no you shouldnt shave her, just keep her off your clothes, it seems you let your dog have free reign, remember your the owner not your dog, and for the seperation anxiety, they have medicine for it at the vet
she is going to bark when you are gone nonstop unless you get a bark collar, although that is a bit inhumane -so you are not allowed to have a dog in your apartment, yet you have one -your dogs sheds and you don't like this, yet this didn't occur to figure out before you took in the dogyou need to think things out a little better
Yuck, don't shave your dog, BRUSH IT for about 30 minutes a day until the shedding season is overThe coat is the dog's insulation against the heat AND the coldCutting it off will only make the dog more uncomfortableSevere separation anxiety is usually treated with prescription drugsSee your vet.
We have 2 female Australian Shepherd puppies and LOVE the breed! First off, do yourself a favor and purchase a Furminator! Yes, they're expensive, but they work so well and the shedding goes way downBathe her at least once a month and groom her dailyUse the Furminator once or twice a weekTake her to the groomer regularlyOur puppies go to Petsmart to get baths every weekend and they're fur looks greatSecondly, start working on mat trainingMy parents have 2 female Aussies and each room they go to has a mat or basketThey know as soon as they go into the room where to goIt majorly reduces the fur everywhereTo do this, she obviously needs to know stay which she won't grasp until she knows sit and downI would say that she is extremely confused as to why she is sometimes allowed to follow you but not all the timeIt needs to be one way or anotherWhen you're not home she needs to be in a crateShe may be feeling like she has too much independence and might not feel secure enoughCrates are not cruelThey protect the dog and your thingsTake her to the pet store and let her pick out a few thingsWhen you put her the crate, give her one of those things to keep her occupiedKeep bedding out of the crate because a lot of times they can get too hotLastly, how much exercise is she getting? It doesn't seem like she's getting out enoughAussies HAVE to have socializationThe become restless and bad dogs if they don'tWhat you're seeing might just be the beginning of things to come if you don't start getting her out moreIt doesn't matter if it's a stander, miniature or toy Aussie, they have to get outIf she has all her shots/vaccines/rabies, take her to a local dog parkAussies need at least 45 minutes of exercise everydaySpend some money and take her to a really good trainerThey'll be able to figure out exactly what you need to do to help yourself and herHope this helps and good luck! :)
Ok, wrap yourself in aluminum foil and go as a baked potato or dress all in white and wrap your head in a white towell and be a Q tipYou could always make big letters and glue them to a big garbage bag and be a bag of mm's.
