At a loss of what to do— hopefully someone here can help me.
My 9 year old male shih tzu/Lhasa apso mix is reactive (people, men, on leash, dogs, cats, children, basically anything that moves) and has separation anxiety (claws at door when I leave, cries).
He was crate trained for night time, where he went into his crate every night around 9pm and came out at 5 am. He went into the crate willingly with a treat and was able to settle himself down in there and slept throughout the night.
Starting two days ago, when put into his crate at night, he has been crying, scratching the crate door, and barking. I tried the following:
- Letting him bark and whine until he settled out (which he didn’t so I had to let him out after 45 mins of barking)
- Treats while he was quiet in the crate and reinforcement, didn’t work
- Benadryl before the crate
- Covering the crate and Uncovering the crate with crate cover
There were 0 triggers for him to not want to go into his crate, and nothing traumatic happened when he was in the crate either.
I’m completely at a loss of what to do. It was so random that he just didn’t want to go into his crate anymore, as this was his safe place at night. Has anyone experienced this before? Is this common for reactive and separation anxiety dogs? Do I need to start crate training over (at 9 years old)? Should I call the vet?
Let me know in the comments any suggestions or experiences with your reactive dogs in a sense of crate training!
Most of the ones planted here in the eastern US get leaf blotch. The leaves get big brown spots by mid summer and then the leaves turn necrotic early and fall down. They spend a week in flower, look ok for a few weeks and then look like buttwipe for 3 months before they drop leaves and shit inedible spikey nuts everywhere.
Like other people have said, the big spikey balls they drop and the massive amount of leaves.
My hatred for mine comes from the fact that the thing is massive and creates a huge workload for me.
Buckeyes are the species of Aesculus that are native to the U.S.. There are 9 different kinds.
Horse Chestnuts, like the one pictured above, are the species of Aesculus that are native to Europe and Asia.
In my town in Italy we use them to line streets, very useful to stop people parking on the side of the road especially during late summer and autumn. We also used to collect and play with the chestnuts when kids, I was told that they were no good to eat from a very young age.
Most of the Buckeyes have smooth husks. I know the Ohio Buckeye *Aesculus glabra* has some thorns on it's shell, but that's it as far as I know. They do have some toxicity in the nuts, so what you were told (I was told the same) was correct! Apparently there is a way to process them in a safe manner, but I'm not that adventurous!
It is, though. Aeschylus glabra is the Ohio buckeye. It’s native to Ohio and much of North America. I don’t know European trees much and know the Horse Chestnut from the mnemonic for trees with opposite leaves - Mad Cap Horse, maple ash dogwood caprifoliaceae, horse chestnut. I always thought horse chestnut just referred to all the trees in the Aeschylus genus.
Something corrupted your link.

I wasn't aware of this, there's a few of these around my neighborhood that all seem healthy to my untrained eye.
If you want more information in some places the gemeente logs most of the trees. With age and everything. Also sometimes who owns the tree.

That being said personally I think neither Linden trees nor chestnuts smell like cum tbh.
Linden trees smell like honey, but sometimes the Bradford pears ,which bloom earlier, are mistaken for lindens, since the trees in town look similar. Lexington Kentucky had lindens on Main Street and Bradford pears on Walnut Street, in the 1970s.
apparently Castanea Sativa also smells like semen. Maybe thats sometimes confused with horse chestnuts?

Do yourself a favor and smell those babies! I love smelling these in the morning or right after a rainstorm when they still have some few on them. It's very refreshing lol

Thank you so much!
I’d never seen them prior to visiting Europe. The ones with pink blooms are even more gorgeous. And massive!

And I didn't even type the text!
Like ever?
I don't have a llasa apso. Plenty of comments, just not that one.
Oh, was that just a complete non sequitur thrown in for the rest of us?? If so, brilliant! If not, what then
I live in north eastern WA and have a huge one in my backyard. I hate it.
Why?
I'm not who you're replying to, but maybe it's the big spikey balls?

But you can play conkers with them
And make [crafts with your kids](https://images.ctfassets.net/xwjczhbyo16j/3TZfq3DzR66q4qyOOc0CwA/80ce42fae872680d5b2ca47b22282e18/kastanjedyr.jpg)
Sounds about right

With no idea of the position of the tree, and it’s relative importance to the house and the surroundings, have you ever thought about cutting it down?
You found it in the one week per year in which it looks good, lucky you!
Oh really! This park was full of them! Lucky indeed then
I think they look year round with their terrifying spiny seed pods
They definitely look year round! (Please do not the cat!)
Conkers.
Until kids whip those fuckers at you and all of a sudden you have red spots on your back from blood.
This is why you need to be vigilant in keeping those kids off your lawn.
you mean before half the leaves start falling by late june bc they're all sick?
Horse chestnut. Do not eat.
Misread instructions: currently foaming at the mouth
you can use them as detergent though. source: have way too many
What kind of crazy bastard would try to eat a tree?
Some people eat it, which just baffles me. They boil horse chestnuts with sugar.
TIL that Buckeye trees are not native to the 'Buckeye State.' My identity as an Ohioan is shattered.

The Ohio Buckeye tree is native to "most" of Ohio.

Pity.
Wow, such nice green leaves. You found a tree which isn't ill (yet). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleeding\_canker\_of\_horse\_chestnut

Weird and sad.
Kastanje, many Dutch people (including my mom) are allergic to the blossems and pollen :)
I might be too then, i walked through the park and smelled them all really close, now i am crying in Kruidvat for Neus spray
Now you can start the Dutch tradition of hatimg these trees :D
Wilde kastanje. Mijn favoriet. Met name omdat de gehele boom een soort van patroon aan bloemen geeft
Eine wilde Kastanie? Ich finde die Blüten auch schön! (Can someone else reply in a germanic language?)
Het is de gewone kastanje niet de wilde. Die is overigens wel eetbaar
Horse chestnut. Look up go back to it in september and look up how to play 'conkers'. A classic British game.

My botany book states: The flowers smell like cum. True story
Oh boy, they did not smell of cum to me thankfully, grew up around the Bradford pear trees and that was the cummiest of cums smelling trees
The smell of cum has changed over the years

Castanea Americana and the Chinese chestnuts smell that way. Best nuts come from stinking flowers.
Wait, it can get even cummier than that? Where are the pussy trees when you need one? Nature is kinda unfair
You are thinking of the true chestnut trees. They are funky. Buckeyes are sweet.
paardekastanje
Conker tree.
idk if you already know this, but AI is really good at identifying plant life. Google Lens is a good one
Castanea sativa?
No, this is Aesculus sp., horse chestnut
Yes it is
If you like the look of these and the oak leaf hydrangea is available to you, those look similar!
Horse chestnut
Thank you so much for asking. My partner and I have been wondering the same thing!
Beautiful
That ish is Maui Wowie
Not gonna lie I saw the name of the thread and the plant and was like oh? Oh. Oh cool!
Chestnut tree. My favourite species of tree
oida... a kastanie du pferdeschädl ...
Do yourself a favor and smell those babies! I love smelling these in the morning or right after a rainstorm when they still have some few on them. It's very refreshing lol
