Vaccination Issues?

[Mark Christians]

Hi Everybody,

 

I'm new to the forum, so sorry if this has been covered already.  I just joined and am trying to learn as quickly as I can.  Can dogs have issues with their vaccines?  One of my dogs will never look me in the eye, and I was wondering, can his vaccines cause autism?  I've gone to a trainer, but she was useless.  What do you guys think?

Those are not signs of dominance and aggression~ I am sorry but you are way off here with your dog.

Your dog is SUBMISSIVE. Not sure why the first trainer was of no help and I want to try not to place blame on you but could it be possible that you want something so badly that you refusing to listen and train your dog. Your dog does not have autism. You would have more luck winning the lottery than getting a dog with autism. I seriously am not trying to mock you or belittle your ideas but it just isnt possible.

I suggest reading a few of Ian Dunbar's books and seeking a good obedience trainer.

It sounds more like you need a trainer who can explain basic dog psychology and behavior. Projecting a human pseudo-diagnosis onto your dog and insisting he is dominant and aggressive when he clearly isn't, won't help you or the dog.

There does seem to be an awful lot of strange anthropomorphizing going on here, along with the comments in this discussion that the dog is "trying to tell you his food is causing him problems."
"Doodles rule and other breeds drool. HA!" ?????

I can't help wondering if these posts are perhaps not being made by an adult?

[Eva (Lilo and Rocky)]

I had the exact same thought Karen... or someone is trying to post pseudo/ridiculous stuff for whatever reason to make us all really angry and wound up.

Hi guys,

I'm sorry if I sound crazy, but there is info out there about autistic dogs, here is a link to some. I can't help but think about my dogs a lot, and the things I see really scare me. Please don't think I'm some nut job, my "wife" already tells me that enough.

You sound like you're pulling our leg, rather than crazy :-)

Before you can expect to find someone to help with your dog's supposed "autism"...first you need a confirmed diagnosis of "autism" which I think you'll be hard-pressed to get as NOTHING you've described about your dog suggests anything out of the ordinary at all. Let alone something as obscure in the canine world as autism. Your dog is fine. Train it and it will come when called, look you in the eye on command and whatever else u want.

What a fine fact-based, scientific resource you have found here! "Answerbag"! Filled with data from clinical studies and reliable information by experts in their fields...NOT! An internet Q & A site with answers by such noted authorities as "Anonymous" is not a good source for anything.
There is "info out there" about the most outlandish things you can imagine.
I'm sorry, Mark, but quite frankly, a statement like "I can't help but think about my dogs a lot, and the things I see really scare me" made by a supposed adult scares me. (Along with the fact that you put the word wife in quotation marks. What the heck is that about?)
I really hope that this is a prank and you don't actually have doodles or any other kind of dogs.

[Mark Christians]

My wife and I are having issues, seems weird admitting that to a complete stranger when I haven't even told my family yet, but what the heck......... Why do you think it is weird that I am scared about what I see with my dogs. I have one that has food allergies that I can't seem to get a handle on, and one that is having dominance/aggression issues and in my opinion (I know that you disagree) has autism. I'm looking everywhere to see what I can learn to fix these issues.

Because what you "see" with your dogs is perfectly normal dog behavior which you choose to misread in a very bizarre fashion despite what everyone here has told you, and is certainly nothing to be scared about. There are thousands of people here and no one has ever had these strange ideas before; it just doesn't seem adult or rational. It sounds like a child or someone who is pulling a prank. And this last revelation about your supposed marital relationship confirms this in my mind.
How old are your dogs? What are there names? Most people give this information before anything else. Are they labradoodles, goldendoodles, minis, F1s, what exactly? Who is their breeder? Can we see a photo of them?
You aren't going to learn anything anywhere if your mind is already made up and you are going to insist that you already know your dogs have allergies/are autistic in spite of everything that people who know more about these things tell you. If you actually do have dogs, I feel terribly sorry for them, because you don't seem to know the first thing about them.
Go ahead and take medical advice from "Answerbag" and strangers in the park. I'm finished wasting my time.

[Mark Christians]

Sorry I didnt give you enought info. You seem to either be one of the rudest people I have ever met, or you have no social skills. Why are you ridiculing me? I didn't know that proper forum etiquette was to first tell my dogs names and ages. They are both two year old goldendoodle brothers named Popito and Chi-Chi. I'm not sure what F-1 means, and I'm sure that you have a snarky response to that to make me look even dumber. I got them from a puppy mill that was going out of business in central Illinois, can't remember the name off hand. I don't know why you seem dead set on picking apart every one of my posts to laugh at me, even saying my "supposed marital relationship." I came to this forum to learn and to connect with other doodle lovers, but neither of those things seem to be happening due to your rude behavior.

none of think you are a nut. The person who wrote that article might be. You on the other hand just need to read up on animal behavior and do some obedience training.

You have a submissive dog~ you can overcome it and turn it around.

[Eva (Lilo and Rocky)]

well, for all I know you could have posted this question yourself, and "answerbag.com" is hardly a reliable scientific source. I'd say that we stop this discussion now, since you are obviously either pulling a prank here, or are totally ignorant about dog behavior. If it's the latter, I truly feel sorry for your dogs and hope you will a) start listening to your wife, and b) consider educating yourself beyond going to questionable websites. Feel free to call me crazy!
