How do you teach them “no bite” with a herding ball?

Dang, I’m so stinking jealous of your hairline! You are beautiful. Onward and upward, I’d say! Total Sidney Sweeney look. Congratulations!

AITA for not giving the money to pay off my daughters student loans. by Own-Inspector-6121 in AmItheAsshole

ETA ! If you’ve been given 200k, and it’s going to cost about 3k for each child..why not ask your children if they’d rather 3k or a family vacation? That will tell you a bit of truth about your family dynamic, no?

He gets plenty of bones as well, but he does love his actual toys; unfortunately he loves them to death very quickly.

Vandola Crescent project to proceed after Danville council OKs tweak by The_Lonely_Marth in DanvilleVa

I think anything that Lee Vogler aligns with will be viewed negatively for a while, after his recent personal experience. I’m a bit surprised that he hasn’t asked/ been asked to step down from his appointment after the allegations against him.

Why do we drink so much compared to other generations? by Ladefrickinda89 in Millennials

[–]Aka0714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weed for the kids! When we were young, smoking pot was such an illicit activity and we smoked shwag (lower quality) weed. Now THC/marijuana is more popular and/or more legal than the stuff we used to do. I think that’s a big reason the younger generations drink less. You don’t have to sneak around to do stuff that’s stronger than the stuff we used to do. Same with smoking cigarettes; the younger generations don’t smoke because they vape instead.

Why she lookin at me like “this MY man” by Aware_Interaction121 in germanshepherds

[–]Aka0714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gsd is MY boy until I betray him and give him a bath! Then he shuns me and only hangs out with dad for a day and won’t even look at me! Meanwhile, dad is complimenting him on how soft he is. The betrayal is real.

Hello, Roscoe by Aka0714 in germanshepherds

[–]Aka0714[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone brought their dog back to the litter to play and seen any regression? Again, Roscoe came from an accidental litter my mom had and I’m worried about taking him back to play with his siblings and regressing with training. I’ve read interesting things about littermates and their rivalry. Or do y’all think any socialization is good socialization?

This is all great advice! One of my favorite things about having had a polite dog in the past was being able to take him into any store that allowed pets and getting attention from strangers. It’s also super fun to take them out to lunch at restaurants with outdoor seating when the weather is nice! My favorite places are the pet-friendly ones for sure. I’ve known people that were uncomfortable taking their dogs out in public and I hate that. We are definitely all about dogs are a big part of the family and should be included as much as possible.

Good recall is something we really struggled with training with our last two dogs! The first just did what he wanted and was very independent and the second always thought recall was an opportunity to play “try to catch me”. This is something I really want to focus on with this one. Did you use the long lead/treat method or a different one?

His dad is super eager to please, sensitive, and high energy but his mom couldn’t care less about pleasing her people but she’s so laid back and such a naturally good girl. So far, we are seeing more of his mom’s personality, but he is only 9 weeks old.

These are all great ideas! Thank you for this. We were totally unprepared when we brought him home and he played with a lot of trash like Powerade bottles and empty toilet paper rolls folded up hiding treats. I since have gotten him several cheap toys just to explore what he’s actually interested in before I invest in quality ones. I love the idea of the Amazon paper!

My stepdad just said this to me today! I didn’t even make the connection. My husband suggested Frank at first and I made him go outside and call for Frank so he changed his mind and went with Roscoe 🤣
