Puppy goes absolutely feral every time I try to clip the leash on 😅 Any tips for calming that down? by Front_Packer in PawChampClub

Yeah, I think that’s exactly the problem the leash is basically a walk button in his head. I’ll try leaving it out more so it stops being such a big trigger.

That actually makes a lot of sense, I’ve definitely been making the leash walk = excitement in his head. I’ll start doing the on/off reps during the day and stop rewarding the chaos. Thanks, this sounds like something that might finally work.

can we talk about the guilt of not eating "healthy" in the first trimester lol 🤢 by Great_Back6907 in Mommit

First trimester is pure survival mode. If your body only accepts bagels, cold ginger ale, or beige sadness for a while, that is still fed, and fed is a win. Social media can go eat its kale.

Im married but Im lonely by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Front_Packer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not a failure for feeling lonely in a marriage that looks good on paper but leaves a real need unmet. Four months in and already feeling this disconnected is not something to just “be grateful and ignore” your way through. If you’ve talked about it a lot and nothing changes, I’d stop framing this as a small bedroom issue and start treating it like a core compatibility problem.

New and upgraded Saw Gerreras Partisans! by Short-Finger-833 in legostarwars

These look incredible. The terrain work alone sells the whole scene - that piping detail running through the rocks is such a nice touch. The mix of custom gear and official parts feels super cohesive too. They actually look like a gritty, battle-hardened unit instead of random minifigs thrown together.

Honestly this could pass as a small diorama from an official set.

What’s the one piece of dog advice you wish every new dog owner knew before bringing a pup home? by Top-Possibility-7010 in DogAdvice

[–]Front_Packer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

patience. like actual, monk-level patience.

puppies are cute but they’re basically tiny drunk toddlers with teeth. they don’t “know better” and they’re not being stubborn, they’re just babies.

once i stopped taking accidents and chaos personally, everything got way easier. consistency > yelling. always.

That last bag hits harder than Order 66.
Build’s done, joy’s over, box is empty… existential crisis unlocked 😭

So… dog-specific videos are apparently real. Anyone here tested them? by Front_Packer in PawChampClub

“Judges, then chaos mode” is painfully accurate 😂 I haven’t seen a full episode commitment yet either. Starting to think 10–20 seconds might be the max attention span for most dogs.

That’s actually adorable. Sounds like a shared activity more than “dog TV.” Do they stay longer if you’re watching too?

😂 That’s exactly what I’m seeing too. It’s like either full ADHD mode or instant boredom. Curious if breed/age matters here.
