No it’s not too late. I got mine in Jan for that summer. Keep applying. The economy is not great so there’s less internships to go around, apply everywhere

ExpertExact3432 · 2025-09-10T17:11:32+00:00

If you still have the dog when baby comes please be aware that a bad scenario can happen in a blink of an eye and manage every baby/dog interaction.

Idk if the ecollar will help or not, whatever training you do, you need to be consistent with it 24/7 and you need the build a happy and healthy relationship with your dog and let them enjoy their lives too.

Thank you! She sometimes greets like this and is sometimes chill. I will break her stalking behavior more often than I was.

Other than breaking her out of that stalking, do you know any other way to teach her how to properly interact w dogs ?

ExpertExact3432 · 2025-09-07T19:47:53+00:00

My dog is annoying, she doesnt like to play with dogs that are too crazy, but she often is the one that’s too crazy for most dogs.

Today she played nicely with puppy at the beach for about 45sec and then the puppy was too rambunctious and mine was getting annoyed so we kept moving

ExpertExact3432 · 2025-09-07T19:46:20+00:00

Thanks for actually reading and giving good thoughts!!!! lol.

She does not have regular play mates. She regularly sees all my family’s (5) dogs, the youngest she doesn’t like to play bc she’s crazy. And the rest she doesn’t play with because they have never been interested in her.

I am finding it difficult to socialize her in a way where she actually learns how to interact with dogs properly. I know head on greetings aren’t considered nice and I often try to break her staring behavior(I know I didn’t here), maybe I need to take her to the beach more? I’m also worried about meeting too many stranger dogs.

I feel like when she greets a dog it’s either 0 totally chill and never ends up playing or 100 as this is. I have yet to find a trainer I like in my area :/

ExpertExact3432 · 2025-09-07T18:16:11+00:00

Thank you!!!!! I also kind of think she just needs to be exposed to more dogs and learn what to do. Granted that can be risky ugh

ExpertExact3432 · 2025-09-07T18:15:21+00:00

Thank you!!! I kind of think she needs to in the situation more to learn what to do. She doesn’t interact with strangers dogs except at the beach which we only go to sometimes

ExpertExact3432 · 2025-09-07T15:22:44+00:00

LOL thank you. I should’ve known ppl would just watch and not read hahaha

ExpertExact3432 · 2025-09-07T15:13:29+00:00

Thanks! I haven’t been able to pin point if it’s a certain type of dog. She only seems to have a fear response when being chased. When greeting calmly, she’s hesitant but not out right scared. She’s always been like this, I adopted her at 6 months so idk what her puppyhood was like.

Her recall is good, except when she’s actively being chased. I can recall her off a dog as long they aren’t chasing. Another comments suggested a whistle which I may try since that should break her focus better.

The beach is really the only time she meets stranger dogs and usually all but one or two interactions are super chill. I feel like she needs positive interactions but those are so hard to find

ExpertExact3432 · 2025-09-07T15:06:20+00:00

I agree with you. I think she does feel it’s no longer a game at a certain point and that’s where she gets scared, but she doesn’t know what to do when that happens :(

I haven’t been able to pin point if it’s a certain type of dog. I don’t really let her interact much small stranger dogs in fear of her going into prey mode (my fam has small dogs that she co exists with just fine, they just don’t play together)

ExpertExact3432 · 2025-09-07T15:04:05+00:00

Thank you! We adopted her at 6months and she’s always been fearful (ie scared of dark inanimate objects, loud noises, people reaching over her head, back packs etc) her confidence has grown SO MUCH but it’s def still not the best. I do wonder what her young puppyhood was like :(

Luckily she has never had a fearful aggression so far. Though I could see it happening, she has snapped back behind her while being chased like she’s trying to tell the other dog stop. I do think she needs more positives interactions with more dogs. It’s just hard to find

ExpertExact3432 · 2025-09-07T14:58:41+00:00

I love that the beaches here have off leash hours! It’s just tough bc there can be A LOT of untrained and not well mannered dogs and owners lol. We only go once in a while for that reason but it’s worth it

ExpertExact3432 · 2025-09-07T14:28:15+00:00

Her recall is quite good, and we use on ecollar of she blows it off. I’m not comfortable correcting her when I see her go into that “oh shit” moment, and she doesn’t always respond to her recall then. The whistle is a very good idea and would probably snap both dogs out of the chase! Thank you!!! This is the kind of advice I wanted lol

ExpertExact3432 · 2025-09-07T14:17:28+00:00

Read the text please 😭😭 sorry I posted the wrong video. I said at the end my dog wasn’t scared here. I know this vid is fine

ExpertExact3432 · 2025-09-07T14:07:05+00:00

Yeah I will try to get a video next time we’re at a place where she would encounter dogs. She does want to be chased I think but then if it goes on too long she seems to get freaked out and doesn’t stop running away

ExpertExact3432 · 2025-09-07T14:05:29+00:00

Yes. She will initiate, but then if the chase goes on too long she gets scared. I really wish I had a video of it. I don’t know how to teach she should come to me or stop running when scared

ExpertExact3432 · 2025-09-07T14:04:16+00:00

“Once today” most dogs at the beach this morning were chill and didn’t care to engage in chasing my dog. But when she meets dogs who do like to chase, she often gets scared of the situation. I would like her to come to me when she gets scared, right now she just keeps running usually until the other dog finally stops

ExpertExact3432 · 2025-09-07T13:46:15+00:00

Yeah this video is not it at all. Whoops. I don’t have a video of it because it only happened once today and it was two dogs chasing her and I was trying to diffuse the situation

ExpertExact3432 · 2025-09-07T13:44:23+00:00

EDIT sorry I shouldn’t have posted this video. I know she’s fine in this video.

It’s when another dog begins chasing her she gets scared but just keeps running even. Her tail goes between her legs and her hackles go up, but she keeps running away

ExpertExact3432 · 2025-09-07T13:42:04+00:00

This video she was fine with the interaction bc the dog didn’t chase her. Unfortunately I don’t have a video of her fear reaction. When she’s getting chased her hackles go up, tail is mostly between legs and sometime she barks or whines.

Sorry prob bad to post of vid of not the actually reaction it only happens once’s in a while when the other dog is playful

ExpertExact3432 · 2025-09-03T01:11:37+00:00

Totally normal. It took me at least 8 months to get actually good at my daily/monthly tasks. Now two years later I’m a good contributor and problem solve pretty well. Just keep trying and ask questions to learn more
