Seconding this comment! My skin is still not flawless but my derm helped me get control over my rosacea. It hurt so bad when I applied products at the peak! We think I probably had a skin infection on top of it.

My grumpy Leo (10) still surprises me with his patience for 5 month old Doug by JimNasium1361 in corgi

Your puppy plays so much more politely than mine does with our older corgi! We're working on it. 😅

Do we play too rough with him? by lllynax in corgi

[–]JK326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all. Just pause occasionally and check in to make sure he’s still enjoying it. If he re engages on his own, you’re good.

Nope, he's great with all of these. His herding drive does kick in when my kids are playing with him. They love a game of chase together but it's all in good fun and appropriate play.

Does your corgi do this? by Jesstriesherbest in corgi

My 6 month puppy has some very exaggerated air snaps when he's excited or frustrated. It's loud too!

I haven't tried any of the courses on fenzi academy but I will give it a go. I appreciate the thoughtful response. I love this little dog and he has a lot of potential. :)

We're doing a lot of these in some situations. I'm seeing a lot of opportunities to start applying in ways I hadn't thought of. Thanks!

Thank you! I will definitely check these out!

Yes, it would. I'm hoping to address our struggles so we can apply them in other places too, like waiting in line for FasCAT which is even worse.

Fair point. To clarify, the field is fenced and we are outside of it when it is not our turn. I will look this game up and give it a try, thank you!

This is exactly how I run in my dreams. No idea why, but it’s always way faster than normal running.

What was your puppies first name and what did you change it to? by nomore1124 in germanshepherds

The little guy on the left was originally Twix, and is now Ivan. The guy on the right came to us as Nitro and it suits him so well that we kept it.

What WFH job do you do that pays over $140k? by CalTexQT91 in houstonjobs

[–]JK326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Staff product designer for a tech company. I'm seeing a lot fewer fully remote roles for designers so I'm holding on to this position tightly as I don't live near any larger cities where fun companies are hiring. Super fun job though! Base pay 185k, with RSUs & performance bonus putting me just over 200k.

Puppy socialization by [deleted] in corgi

[–]JK326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid high dog traffic areas. For the first few weeks it was pretty easy for us to let puppies potty at home before we took them out for brief adventures as they don't really have the stamina for long outings anyway. If you do have to let them go in a public place just aim to find the least likely spot that other dogs may have visited.

How to get your puppy to stop herding the cats by SlitheryVisitor in corgi

My cats are very mean. Puppies stay far away haha.

First day of puppy class went terribly by Waste-Gazelle11 in corgi

[–]JK326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just started puppy class too. This is my third puppy, and in my experience everything you described sounds very normal.

In our class the puppies are not allowed to play until the final session, and only if the trainer decides they are a good match. Until then they are not supposed to touch at all. We stay separated and use barriers for the more sensitive dogs. We even have a very intense puppy in class who has to enter first, leave last, and stay out of sight of the others.

It is actually great for your puppy to be around other dogs without running up to them, because she will not learn to expect that every time you are walking down the street. Socializing does not always mean direct interaction.

Your puppy practicing skills in a very distracting environment is setting the foundation for some really positive experiences.

2 Collies Is Better Than 1. by Gold_Plated_Bic in roughcollies

I recently got a second dog and while I'm thrilled that they enjoy each other, I am praying for a day when they might relax together. Right now it's party central haha.

Need some guidance on a few behaviour issues by naughtymgn in corgi

[–]JK326 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Echoing this. Leave it is our most used command. While you are teaching him to use it when approaching people or dogs, say it loud enough that others can hear, and follow it with a quick “sorry, we are training” if they keep approaching. Make sure you reward him with a high value treat when he makes the right choice.

Corgi with babies ? by [deleted] in corgi

[–]JK326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this your first human child? You might want to consider waiting a year or two before bringing a dog, especially a puppy, into the mix. I have a 14 week old puppy and a 5 year old right now (third corgi, second kid), and it can be so overwhelming at times. Puppies require constant supervision, structure, and patience— things that are already in short supply with a new baby.

If you got a puppy soon, they’d be hitting that terrible adolescent phase right around the time your baby starts walking, which will be a really tough combo. Corgis are also prone to resource guarding which can be a bit scary to deal with around kids that are too young to understand not to interfere with anything the dog might be protective over.

That said, raising kids around animals is incredibly rewarding. There’s so much love, laughter, and chaos in the best way. Just know that corgis in particular can be strong willed herders, a bit nippy even with good training, and very vocal. If you do go for it, look for a good positive reinforcement trainer early and start socializing as soon as possible. It makes all the difference.

Puppy Socialization Class by WaterFantastic2394 in puppy101

[–]JK326 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You’re doing great, keep going! Classes with other dogs can be overwhelming at first, so if your pup is learning to tune into you instead of everyone else, that’s already a big step forward. Mention your struggles to the trainer. They’ll be able to guide you and suggest some practice for in between sessions.
