I feel bad though. Here is my boy and I have been correcting him at classes and when we are working for scratching because I thought he was doing it to blow me off.
What are others experiences with allegies?

Oddly enough...FOUR different dogs that I walk came down with a mysterious ear infection at the same time. My first thought was spear grass since the fields were just mowed, but all of them just had a very minor infection...just some redness...It cleared up within three days after putting drops in.I'm guessing it was seasonal and caused by the long grass/hay being mowed and blowing up spores.
I also gave Toby corrections and hired a trainer to help me once when he was showing aggression towards my roommates. We were quite tough on him. Turns out, he had an enormous hot-spot under his whole head and neck area and was in a lot of pain although outwardly there seemed to be nothing wrong. I figured it out when the thing burst and he ended up in hospital overnight. Boy, did I feel GUILTY.I learned my lesson to always get a check-up when a dog exhibits sudden strange behaviours,just to rule out a physical problem.
I hope you find the answer to your problem and I hope it's easy to fix!!
