    Diagnosing a Shih Tzu's barking: data gathering and the play ritual

    The call opened with a quick consult on a dog passing yellow, fat-laden stools, where Sunny explained that undigested fat (not worms) was the cause and fat had to be cut from the diet. The main session was a case-study exercise where members practiced diagnosing a Shih Tzu that barked continuously at her human, using a structured data-gathering framework built around the six rituals (walk, socialising, discipline, play, affection, feeding). Sunny showed how the group jumped to labels like attention-seeking or demand barking too quickly, and walked them through reading the barking and timing as clues, revealing that the real issue was insufficient and badly timed play for a young, high-drive dog. The call closed with breed history on Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso instincts and housekeeping on the new call schedule and pending evaluations.

    Stress, gut mucus, neutering myths and building dog confidence

    This call covered why household chaos and grief show up as pacing, chewing and licking in dogs, and how fear and stress squeeze the gut to cause mucus or blood in stool and UTIs. Sunny answered detailed questions on neutering myths, thyroid and dairy, insulin and weight loss, choosing air-dried or freeze-dried food, and how a healed gut and serotonin build a dog's confidence and change its drive. Members also discussed reactivity training with treat timing, reading excited body language safely, and managing a sensitive dog around Diwali.

    Fear-induced gut squeezing, resource guarding and fast-eating dogs

    This Pro call was an open Q&A led by Sunny where members brought individual dog issues for live troubleshooting. Topics ranged from fear-related stomach upset and vomiting, tick and parasite handling, reading a dog's body language in a trancing video, obsessive play and pack calming, to reverse sneezing, kennel cough follow-up, dog park fights, and a detailed resource guarding case study on feeding two dogs together. Sunny repeatedly tied physical symptoms back to fear, anxiety and intensity in the dog's emotional state and pack dynamics.

    Kidney stones, hill dogs, bear encounters and inherited instinct

    This OhMyDog Pro call opened with Kashish describing her dog's suspected UTI and kidney stone symptoms, leading Sunny to prescribe kidney tests and explain how excess calcium and cholesterol cause stones and muscle tremors. A large part of the call covered Bhavna's move to Uttarakhand, where she is preparing her dogs Doodle and Gulab for a jungle environment with bears, leopards and working village dogs, prompting deep discussion on leash training, genetic memory and instinct versus learned behaviour, including the caterpillar-to-butterfly memory experiment. The group then discussed how breeding for work shapes mating-driven instinct, Ashita's questions on Singapore's debarking practice and how dogs process trauma differently from humans, and Manya's questions on puppies eating cat faeces, post-spay growling, and the risks of casually giving deworming and tick medicines like Bravecto and Simparica.
