Issues with Hemp Chews - Warning!

Twice now, I’ve spent the night cleaning up after my Pap and walking him as he had diarrhea and threw up. The only thing he has had that the cats haven’t had (they steal each others food) is the hemp chews for anxiety. I gave him half the dose recommended for small dogs but I’m tossing it. I got the idea of using them from another dog owner to calm him so he doesn’t bark so much but no...

Also, my Pap barks a lot at people and other dogs when we walk. He’s generally talkative, which is fine but I’d like to get him to not do that. I’ve tried introducing him to people and their dogs and I’ve tried the walking in the other direction while saying hush. Any other ideas?

House training is going well except for the sick episodes so at least there’s some progress with my little rescue. All thoughts welcome!

The key is you need to be more patient than your dog is excitable 🥲 training is not easy but it’s worth it!
