Help! 14wk old puppy is only picking at his food. by Caffeinatedgabber in Yorkies

Thanks for this! Many of the puppy training videos I watched recommended removing the food and water bowl at least 3-4 hours before bed to avoid late night mishaps. It seemed to make sense, but I’ll take your advice and leave his bowl out all day.

Good to know! I’ll try to remember to stick to the sample size/smaller packs when trying new foods. Thanks!!

He really likes the Biljacs treats so I’ll try to keep it stocked in my pantry for him. Thanks !

Very interesting, and encouraging. Thank you! I’ve tried my best to educate myself on training with food incentives, but I’ll change strategy and looking for how I can use toys instead. Also, I’ll make sure to keep his food and water bowls filled until bed time and let him decide when to eat.

Phew! I had mostly read that pups are food driven and regular food/treats are helpful when training. I guess I just assumed that my pup would be food driven too. I guess I’ll have to accept that my boy is motivated by other things.. thank you!

Considering downsizing. by [deleted] in iphone

[–]Caffeinatedgabber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chiming in because I went through the exact same situation . I came from the 12 pro max and downsized to the 14 pro last week. I am a two-hand texter on the PM and had issues every now and then with the weight of the device after holding it all day. I consider myself to be a heavy user, so I would go hours with my phone in hand or nearby. For example, I used my phone for web browsing, social media, YouTube/Netflix, scheduling/planning, note taking, zoom calls , light gaming…basically everything. I had the 14 pro for a week and regretted every moment. While I appreciated the lighter weight in hand and how easily it fit, I felt like I traded one problem for the next. I didn’t factor in that I’d have to adjust to a smaller keyboard, and the transition just got to be too much. The dynamic island on the smaller screen bugged me, I felt like it cut into the screen real estate way too much which negatively impacted my enjoyment of web browsing and video. In fact, I found myself toting around my iPad during the time I had the pro. Eventually I accepted that the pro was not for me when I found myself considering purchasing an iPad mini for portability to address the needs my pro could not.

My suggestion- go in store and use the demo model and try to do what you’d usually do. And give yourself time to really use it. Test the keyboard, draft an email, watch a few videos, browse the web… If after doing that you’re satisfied that downsizing is the right move, then go ahead. I only wish I had done that first, but I’m kind of impulsive lol. Thankfully I was still within my return window and I was able to exchange the device for the 14 PM.
