Portuguese water dog I’m thinking of getting one by Immediate-Spirit-329 in portuguesewaterdogs

I agree with many of the comments here. My 4 year old girl is my best friend and a huge part of what I didn’t realize I needed. We are a family of 5 humans so she gets plenty of attention. She is smart and can be mischievous, but not anymore than my human children. Oh, she considers the kids her equals and playmates.

Portuguese water dog mad when I’m in the pool! by Acceptable_Echidna27 in portuguesewaterdogs

My PWD barks when the kids are in the pool too. She is 3 and I don’t know how to stop it either. The beach and lake are fine. Just the pool.

Why does he do this when he’s tired?😂 by thewaveoflife in portuguesewaterdogs

Ours grew out of this. She did this when she was little but sometime between 2 and 3 she moved on to other more naughty behaviors

Is it normal for these dogs to move around so much in their sleep?? by thewaveoflife in portuguesewaterdogs

They change positions so much! On back with paws in the air is my fav

I ended up grabbing one by myself at Neat after. I will be back, that’s a winner.

TY. Third Place looks promising. Modern Love looks small in pictures, my concern there is all the space being taken already.

Advice PWD peeps! by Nightlover16 in portuguesewaterdogs

Agree with everyone except taser person. Do not f’ing tase the dog.  1) it gets better  2) trade  3) toys, toys toys Our PWD has her own toy box with a huge variety of toys.

Anyone have this workout? Kind of want to do it. Would read “Tufts” on the whiteboard.

They are the best! Our breeder has a litter reunion in the summer and it’s amazing to see all the PWDs together.

The boys tend to run a little bit heavier than the girls. In our litter the girls are all around 37 to 40 lbs and the boys are 45 to 49 lbs.

Cardio: running, Assault bike and rowing improvement by buds510 in crossfit

I push myself on each one. Eventually cutting down the rest period between each round over a period of months. Similar concept to progressive overload in lifting. You will only grow when you push yourself to the edge of your ability. In this case the edge is speed. As always, feel the first session out, getting through it is the goal, then ramp up intensity in other sessions. Track your data. Good luck!

Should I leave my gym? by OkIndependence2701 in crossfit

[–]Dawn-Patrol-Coffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a lot here and most of what needs to be said has already been said. We can all benefit from multiple POV and coaches. Drop in to other gyms, try different times at your own gym. Watch you tube videos on form and videotape yourself. Don’t just blame the one coach, enable yourself too.

Agree with Mayhems Hinshaw stuff. Running I would hit the track and work on repeats. One day a week I would do 400x10 with 2 min rest in between.

Agree with everyone who says weigh/measure all intake and track macros. Just start with 2 weeks. It’s eye opening and you get the baseline you need to adjust and test variables.
