Mixed breeds can be trained to do anything that purebreds can do.
Dogs and cats can be given 1-2mg/lb of diphenhydramine (or Benadryl) every eight hours. Used to treat allergic reactions primarily, it also has some anti-anxiety and anti-vertigo effects. As a general rule, it is pretty safe stuff. The primary side effect is drowsiness, so do not allow your pet to consume alcohol or operate heavy machinery while taking it.

You need to talk with your veterinarian about this - it is possible some formulations of Benadryl could interact with your dog's thyroid medication and cause major problems.
You're better off using tablet or liquid forms of Benadryl with dogs so you can get a more accurate dose.
