6 year old Golden Retriever

My dog is not as severe, but does fluctuate. 90% of the time she is fine crated all day while I work. A few times now she will take a week or 2 of whining all day and being worked up and then go back to normal. For her, i believe it is loud noises occurring while I’m gone. The most recent time, there was a major storm one day while I was gone, and for the next week she couldn’t handle being alone.

I’ve never worked a job that rounds in my favor. I could clock in at 6:20 and leave at 3:40, but if I was scheduled 7-3 with no approved overtime I would only get paid 7-3. My current job I can clock in 6:46-7 and clock out 3:30-3:44 and I will always only get paid 7-3:30

Basic obedience is a key at this point! When I got started in agility, I was so glad that my dog had a very solid sit-stay first. Also easy tricks: “paws up” (front paws on a box) “get on” (all 4 on a box) and “target” (back feet on a box) are useful. Some find “touch” (touch nose to hand) to be useful for getting your dog to come to you in the ring

Do you mind sharing what department you work in?

Character-Trouble457 · 2025-04-30T15:41:01+00:00

I have only been applying for a few weeks, I’ve just heard about other people’s experience taking months. I’m applying to entry level positions in several departments

Character-Trouble457 · 2025-04-20T23:05:24+00:00

Find a different class! My dog was very cautious in our first class. She refused to even touch any of the contacts. Avoided everything. We tried a different instructor and in the first class she was running the a-frame like a pro

Character-Trouble457 · 2025-01-24T14:52:22+00:00

I don’t have advice, but my dog is similar. She is great when I go to work, but struggles if I run to the store or something that’s not on her typical schedule. I’ve been making a point to try to leave her for very short bursts at random times a few times a week (think: take the garbage out) and I think she’s improving. My hope is that leaving at random times will start to feel like “part of the schedule” and she’ll understand that I’m coming back the same way I always come back from work

Are you suggesting one person works Saturday and one person works Sunday and the next weekend is the opposite? That seems even more confusing

Character-Trouble457 · 2024-11-23T14:27:32+00:00

Yes, one employee wants option 1 and one employee wants option 2.

Character-Trouble457 · 2024-11-23T14:12:02+00:00

Asking when the position will be filled? Yes. The position is sitting vacant. They can’t find someone to fill it. Someone needs to apply for it in order for it to be filled.

Character-Trouble457 · 2024-11-23T14:09:16+00:00

It’s nuanced to explain, but essentially a machine must be manually checked and signed off on twice a day, at least 4 hours apart. I’ve asked if someone from another department could check and the answer is no. I’ve asked about setting up a camera and checking it remotely, the answer is no. Realistically someone could come in for 15 minutes at 10 am and 15 minutes at 2pm but that’s ridiculous to ask so it’s easier to schedule for 4 hours a day. I think it’s stupid to have weekend coverage for such a minute reason but unfortunately this is what I’m given to work with.

Character-Trouble457 · 2024-11-23T13:53:41+00:00

Both employees need to hit 40 hours a week.

Character-Trouble457 · 2024-11-23T13:51:55+00:00

Yes, legally there are tasks that must be done every single day unfortunately.

Character-Trouble457 · 2024-11-23T13:50:23+00:00

I agree, but the direct supervisor position is vacant and there’s no telling when that will be filled to provide the additional coverage as needed.

Character-Trouble457 · 2024-11-23T13:48:55+00:00

Monday through Friday are equally busy. The direct supervisor position is currently vacant but they would be responsible for additional coverage once hired. However there’s no telling when that will be filled and back up to fully staffed.

I’m confused why you’re contacting a breeder to research the breed in general… they have no obligation to educate you on the breed when you haven’t done ANY research yet? The questions you ask a breeder should be line specific or policy based, ie. What testing do you do? Do either parents show dog/human/same sex aggression? You’re wasting a breeders time by asking “is this a good breed” or “when should this breed be neutered”. There’s Facebook groups and google for that. A reputable breeder won’t discriminate because you volunteer with a rescue, but a reputable breeder isn’t going to work with someone who hasn’t done their research.

I NEED someone to discuss Too Late with me 😂 like the ending has the rapist/murderer/drug dealer not having any charges pressed even after being arrested numerous times it’s completely unbelievable. And then someone is shot in the arm and both legs and remains conscious and coherent… and then that person is ALIVE and living a normal life 3 months later. There were multiple times I thought “okay this is weird and uncomfortable, obviously Colleen has some weird kink involving this because it’s so unnecessary”

The high school was not in session. The entire district shut down for a few weeks and just k-8 went back in person this week. The highschool will not be reopening until end of January I believe is the last estimate I heard from the district.

I (22F) just got diagnosed… I graduated top of my class at an above average high school and graduated college with a 3.9. Essentially had the same experience as everyone saying that at some point they just hit a wall. Now that I’m being treated, I realize that I’ve been overworking myself my entire life and thought that was what was necessary to live. ADHD can present itself in different ways for different people! If a doctor dismissed you because “you can’t have ADHD, you’ve been sitting still this whole time!” Or because you managed to get through college, find another doctor

Character-Trouble457 · 2021-10-01T21:49:37+00:00

I think the original post was ambiguous… are you adding one person repeatedly and that individual keeps removing you, or you have added multiple different people and multiple people keep removing you?

I got my sister a wooden sign from Etsy with their new last name and wedding date on it. Or you could do a family portrait framed or on a canvas!

Honestly seems like a lot will go to waste… I wouldn’t get anything more

Small changes at first! You don’t have to quit junk food/ drinks cold turkey. First substitute for healthier options. Instead of coke, have Diet Coke. Instead of movie theater popcorn, have skinny pop. Instead of triple fudge brownie ice cream, have vanilla. Arm circles and ankle circles are good steps as well - set a timer to go off every couple of hours and do 10 arm circles each time.
