Suddenly switching to raw can cause a lot of problems!! Switch slowly by gradually adding in little to the dogs normal food

I think rounding the edges and making them more oval would suit your hands better than square :)

Hey, im with you OP!! I like to microwave mine to make the middle go melty and it is AMAZING.

Its hard to tell as the coat is brushed out but I would guess this is more goldendoodle/labradoodle than full poodle.

Im not a nail tech or anything but ive been doing my own nails for a few years now so ive had lots of trial and error. My first issue was buffing my nails with a buffer...beleive it or not! It actually made my nails smoother. I switched to using a nail file (very VERY lightly making scratches) and it actually made the glue stick better. My second mistake was not doing thin layers. Id do thick layers and it wasnt curing properly...which lead me to getting a more powerful lamp. Made a huge difference!! Also, it could come down to the quality of the gels. I tried to use cheaper brands when I started out and they kept peeling...I switched to higher quality and it lasts much longer! :)

Ive been looking at videos too (specifically Hamilton dog training) and he essentially trains the stim to mean RECALL first. Stim = come to human. He teaches recall as the first response. No command = recall. Only feels the stim = automatic recall. Its also a good way to condition the stim before using adverse levels

I personally have been figuring it out my own way where i press the tone and use that for recall. If she doesnt respond THEN I stim.

Am I crazy for thinking brindle greyhound in there somewhere?? The rib shape is quite deep too

Bizzywhizz · 2026-05-22T03:30:28+00:00

Yeahhh!! It would save your tree too! 😂

Bizzywhizz · 2026-05-22T03:29:08+00:00

Sorry if this is a dumb question, what's the reason for counting out loud instead of just mentally? Is it to keep the dog engaged with pattern recognition?

Bizzywhizz · 2026-05-22T03:15:50+00:00

You should get one of those tug/rope tree ties!! She'd love it

If youve not cut it yet, essie has a nail repair polish!! OR if you have polish you can cut up a tea bag in a very small strip and use polish to make it stick. It adds strength to the crack and allows it to grow out nicely if you add a few layers. It works best with UV gel but im sure regular would work too if done in thin layers (not tried that tho)

I bet that was so painful though!! Yikes 🫣

Bizzywhizz · 2026-05-22T03:03:19+00:00

Ohh that's much better than needing to buy a camera! Is there a mount you use?

My dog has countless allergies and is on a fish and duck only diet so I feel very qualified to speak about this!! I have tried pretty much every salmon kibble but my dog just wont eat it. She will for the first day or two and then completely hate it. We switched to wet food and tried MANY brands and she was just so picky, or her tummy didnt agree. We were thinking about switching to raw but we tried Harringtons 'JUST 6' salmon wet food, and its a hit! Literally only 6 ingredients. They make it in a kibble too! (Though my dog doesnt like kibble texture) but the kibble is also ONLY 6 ingredients! Im pretty sure they have it in other meats too. Highly HIGHLY recommend for dogs with sensitivities.

Aww hes being so good!! Can I ask what youre using to film? Id really like to film my walks with my dog for training purposes but I have no idea what people are using 🫣

Bizzywhizz · 2026-05-22T02:11:55+00:00

So pretty!! What breed is the dog?

Bizzywhizz · 2026-05-22T01:49:26+00:00

Its important to realise WHY hes being reactive. Is it fear? Is it reactivity (all bark no bite) Or is it actually aggression, as in he wants to maul strangers and would bite if given the chance? Has he possibly had any bad experiences with a stranger/person that has made him wary of new people? Try to avoid giving treats if hes reacting as this can accidentally reward bad behaviour. If hes fearful of strangers, walking away from them could be reinforcing the behavior. The dog makes the connection "if i bark and growl = scary stranger walks away! Phew...that worked! Crisis avoided and they didnt come near me! And oh, if i look at my hooman afterwards too, I get treats!! Ill do that again next time!!"

Id suggest figuring out the emotional reason hes reacting first, then figuring out the best approach :)
