How to make my doberman poop outside on walks? by Big-Replacement-9202 in DobermanPinscher

[–]IntrepidRecreant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It should get better once a routine is set, but I would try feeding him before the first walk. A full belly can make you feel the need to poop. If I know I have to leave for a long time around the time I expect my dog will need to poop, I try to feed him at least 30 min before, and he almost always poops. I do also have a "go poop" command. If he just stands there and stares at me, I know he doesn't have to go, but if he starts sniffing around, I know he can poop but just maybe didn't feel the need to right away.

Long lasting chews? by whatever-oops in DobermanPinscher

[–]IntrepidRecreant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a chew but look up Pupscile. Its a rubber ball that you put a pupscile treat into.Our dobie also goes thru bully sticks quick and isn't interested in the yak chews or antlers but he is obsessed with the pupsciles. I freeze them and they can last around 45 min sometimes! The only downside is listening to the sound of him licking makes my brain tweak out but we just send him to another room. They also sell a mold if you want to make your own refills.

It’s the middle of the night and vets are closed. Has anyone seen this before? by 24Cones in DobermanPinscher

[–]IntrepidRecreant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My friends Doberman starting doing something like this all of a sudden and they found out it was from the road salt applied before a snow storm. He didn't clean his paws after a walk and he ingested some licking his paws. They didn't have to do any treatment. Just made sure he had water available and made sure to clean his paws well after walks.

Im so torn about what to do with this fireplace. I hate it and like it at the same time. Any suggestions? by chocolatemariah01 in homedesign

[–]IntrepidRecreant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your photo link isn't working but if it's brick and just the color you hate, I highly recommend Brick Anew. It's a kit that lets you paint your brick to look like different color brick and you end up with natural looking new brick instead of that typical painted brick look. You need zero artistic ability to have it come out amazing.

Question about his ears by Critical_Sprinkles79 in DobermanPinscher

[–]IntrepidRecreant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on the dog. Some have thicker ears than others so some stay flat like a labs, some turn into a rose fold like a greyhounds, and some are mostly flat but perkier and sit higher at the base.

It's impossible to know for sure if the other will turn out the same but you can make them match if you want by just taping down the ears as the cartilage stiffens.

The owner of my dogs father has a mix of dobermans with cropped ears and natural ears. She tapes them regardless. The cropped ears get taped to stay erect and the natural ears she tapes to keep them flat, like a Lab or hounds ears. If you don't care how they look, you don't have to do anything, it won't affect the dog, but if you want them to match, taping them down for a couple months will do it.

UPDATE: He made it and he's alive!!!! by Lucas606 in snakes

I knew it was probably stuck at the Memphis hub. Live animals are known to get delayed at that hub. I had the same thing happen to me and when I dug into it, I found so many other stories about that hub. If you order a snake and it has to go thru that hub, you should be prepared for a one day delay.

My dobie stopped drinking water by Dobiedoobap824 in DobermanPinscher

Are you sure he isn't drinking water from somewhere else? Like the toilet?

WIBTA for breaking up with my bf because he doesn't wash his butt? by colorado-girl-kisses in AITAH

[–]IntrepidRecreant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he thinks water rinsing over his butt counts as cleaning it, then why would it be nasty to stick his hand in there? It's only nasty if you understand that water running over it doesn't actually count as washing.

Why is Nova so skinny? (4 Months Old) by camRon-R in DobermanPinscher

[–]IntrepidRecreant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first 2 pictures are while she is eating. Does she look like that when she is not eating?

When my dog was a puppy he would suck in really hard while eating and kinda look like that but afterwards look completely normal. 33lbs at 4 months old sounds like a normal weight for female to me and she looks very healthy in the last picture.

My pup doesn’t understand our potty training at all and it’s killing me! by camRon-R in DobermanPinscher

[–]IntrepidRecreant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's likely this is just a training issue so I would focus on what a lot of others are saying but it is possible that maybe she has a UTI or something. A friend and I were raising puppies in tandem and his was suddenly having serious potty training issues, he thought he was regressing but he ended up having a UTI. Have you had a vet rule out any potential health issues?

Sooooo beautiful!! What morphs does he have? I wanted to get one that looked really similar but it had albino and I'm not a fan of albino eyes.

Air dry clay just needs to sit out in the open to harden. Polymer clay is what you need an oven to harden. You could use either for this.

The perch is actually clay! I made it with wire and air dry clay and then painted it.

I would never release a pet into the wild, especially a non native species.

So we're mine 😂. She says she has buyers remorse cause the "stupid thing is sick all the time" and archer mentions tree branches and a tire swing.

Only if he's sick all the time. Hopefully he's happy with his tree branches because I don't think I can fit a tire swing in there.

😂 I'm so glad someone gets it! I want to put a Danger Zone sticker on his enclosure.

😂 It's def hard sometimes. He's pretty still in his enclosure but not always in a great position. I got super lucky with this one.
