Your best bet at this point is to consult a Canine Behaviorist. That's different than an obedience trainer. A veterinarian with experience/ continuing ed in behavior would be good too. Medications (Clomicalm, Elavil, and increasingly Prozac) do make a difference. So do many TCM (Trad. Chinese Medicine) remedies. Melatonin also works for many dogs. These medications work best when used with behavior modification techniques. Don't let anyone tell you that she's old and beyond changing or teaching. My pack is all older, I never had them as pups. Dogs will learn until the day they die. Good luck, and keep us updated on her progress!
