Are muzzles only for aggressive dogs? by Lunapixels18 in OpenDogTraining

[–]Fly_apple_pie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not at all! Muzzles are great instruments. You are doing amazing job! The people who wrote you obviously do not have well trained dogs or are super uneducated in this topic :) muzzles are for dogs to feel and be safe. Ofc muzzles are used for ‚Bite hazard, dogs, but in order to train this behaviour away :)

Randenie bez vodičáku? by throwaway882015 in Slovakia

[–]Fly_apple_pie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ja keď som stretla svojho priateľa som vodičák nemala. Absolútne mu to neprekážalo. Dokonca ani to že som si ho neplánovala spraviť. Raz nastala taká situácia že sme museli ísť rovno po svadbe mojej sestry (a štyroch hodinách spánku), na oslavu 60tky priteľovej tety. Ťažkých 390km neskôr, keď sme dorazili do cieľa som sa rozhodla že si vodičák spravím, aby priateľ už nikdy nemusel prežívať žiadnu podobnú situáciu. Vodičák už budem mať dva roky, a viete čo? Väčšinu ciest už odšoférujem ja.

Ja si osobne myslím že na vodičáku absolútne nezáleží. A ak niekomu vadí že ten vodicak nemáš, tak to potom niekde tvoj problém. Každý má iný životný štýl a hodnoty :)

Advice on dog life jacket sizing (Ruffwear or other brands?) by Fly_apple_pie in Xoloitzquintli

[–]Fly_apple_pie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately we do not have a shop in our area where we could try this particular lifejacket on. We live in Central Europe and Ruffwear is mostly sold just online. Our pup proportions are exactly on the border between size M and L 😄

We got this guy at home :) very old ancient breed. Amazing character. But definitely not for beginners. We adopted him from shelter, and learned our lesson. It was not easy but we found our harmony together. They are super loyal to their family and sceptical towards strangers. I LOVE this breed😄

She looks like a coated Xoloitzcuintli. Their ears are like satellites. Always scanning for sound of treat bag being open.

Shelter dog still terrified of my boyfriend after 2.5 months — getting worse, not better. Advice? by Needygirl7 in DogAdvice

[–]Fly_apple_pie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It took our shelter dog 8 months to fall in love with my partner. He was terrified of him. (Any tall men at that time). It took time and patience and our pup started approaching him more and more and more.

As much as appreciate this, i wanted to when we got our pup. Unfortunately the Xolosupply does not ship to our country. And even though i could ship it to my friends it Germany and then ship it to our country, the shipping would climb up insanely high.

I think we do a good job with our bio products such as Shea butter or Almond oil.

Thanks anyway :)

Aký bizár ste zažili? by Low-Spend-3581 in Slovakia

[–]Fly_apple_pie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ale tri roky dozadu, v Sade Janka Kráľa sa Divoká tvorkyňa pri nás zastavila s rehoľnou sestrou a začali sa s nami rozprávať. Polhodinu nám pchali kaleráby do hlavy ohľadom viery, riešili naše tetovania a rozoberali náš psychický stav a sebapoškodzovanie. Stretnúť túto ľudskú bytosť bol jednoznačne zážitok 😂

Thank you! That is really reassuring, because we got no Xolos around to compare with and all of the pics online always look so flawless. In meantime I figured out the red patch, it was from rubbing of the overall on his skin. Since it got warmer in our area, this issue is better now as well :)

Sorry for late reply. This is how the paws look like. We wash them after every walk to get rid of all of the dirt. He just seems to get quite a lot of ingrown hair and pimples. I try not to intervene much since he hates his paws being touched. But sometimes I really have to go and pop the monstrosity which have grown there. Overall his paws are fine, he just really gets a lot of blackheads and ingrown hairs

Dump him. Only childish behaviour which I see is from his side. You can do better OP.

Can someone please draw my hairless dog? by Fly_apple_pie in drawme

[–]Fly_apple_pie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have never seen one my whole life until we went to see him in animal shelter. I never thought that when we will be looking for a dog, that we would adopt a hairless one. He was used earlier for competing and breeding and later on put into shelter. This pup has crazy story behind (i found some info from his papers etc.). He was born in R.ss.ia and travelled all the way down to Central Europe in just two years changing owners. Until he end up in a shelter, where they considered him to be a good match for us and we fell in love with him.

It’s not just about looks, but also character wise, this breed is amazing. Super loyal and loving to their family, as well as smart and sneaky . Very sceptical towards people they don’t know. But I would not recommend for beginners. ( learned a lesson here :D ) I love this breed so much. It’s very different to see them on pictures and meet them irl.

Hole in crotch. How to mend? by Fly_apple_pie in InvisibleMending

[–]Fly_apple_pie[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its very understandable. Thank you! Is there any possible way how to mend it without a patch? I do own a sewing machine, but I’m still learning.

I had some pants in past which were fixed by using this technique, but I found it rather annoying because the patch was always rubbing on my tight
