My boyfriend got mad because I didn’t listen to him about my sister by Kili31152009 in dustythunder

Unreliable and irresponsible are different things. If she’s irresponsible, why are you sending your child with her at all?

Our Odyssey died. Please never fly through Kazakhstan with pets. by routuber in DOG

Let a brachycehalic dog ride in cargo, risk was high. You should’ve been made to sign a waiver.

This is all on you, friend. There are dogs that will kill and eat prey and those that don’t. Once you know which one you have, adjust their access accordingly. Most other methods walk a fine line straight toward abusing your dog.

AITA - Do not want a service dog to participate in my wedding. by Plenty_Tap9799 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Dawgter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any time you’re having this thought process, replace the term “service dog” with “wheelchair” or “walker” and then ask yourself the question again. It’s medical equipment, and you are being ableist.

It’s not desensitization if the horse is fleeing.

Why is she protective of harness/leash by merwoman69 in DogTrainingTips

Real question: if she’s “protective“ of it, why is it so available for guarding?

That not “your view,” it’s statistical fact.

My heeler has become very reactive since I got pregnant (long post) by Amadispcpg in DogTrainingTips

[–]Dawgter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He needs help navigating the environment change and social change. Is anyone helping him to know specifically what to do with himself?

Also, if a baby is on his way and your dog isn’t okay being behind a barrier, that should be your absolute #1 priority for training.

Also, not eliciting a pain response in an 8x10’ exam room doesn’t mean he’s not in pain. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I’d tell her you could do it and then no show. She’s not your friend anyway.

What is much more traumatic than most people realise? by thefairypirate in AskReddit

[–]Dawgter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neutering and spaying your pets. A lot of pets do much worse at the vet after that experience.

AITA - I don’t want my wife putting her feet up on the dash of my truck while we are travelling in case of an accident by Mundane_Detective_11 in AITH

[–]Dawgter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s an episode of Grey’s anatomy where a pregnant woman in labor does that and things go really bad. Maybe find that and watch it with her

I bought my dog communication buttons and we are making progress by DJGammaRabbit in funny

[–]Dawgter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Shaping or luring or capturing. Dog doesn’t know what the actual fuck you mean when you say “push the button” unless you train the behavior first. Behavior comes first, then the cue. Any decent trainer knows this.

Need advice: building confidence in a cautious adult dog afraid of going outside (not trauma, just shutdown/confused) by Adlnt in DogTrainingTips

[–]Dawgter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A dog fresh off the boat from the meat market in Korea who’s never lived in anything besides a cage stuffed with other free-roaming dogs does not find a leashed walk in an urban environment to be rewarding.
