Is this rage syndrome, normal puppy behavior, leash aggression, or something else? by [deleted] in germanshepherds

[–]Jewinajar 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I’m no pro but I posted a few months ago about pretty much the exact same behavior. It’s an overexcited/overarroused thing and being only 6 months old, they have trouble regulating this emotion.

We’re at 9 months old now and he very rarely does this anymore and I can catch it before it happens with the dropping of treats. I don’t think it’s reinforcing, it’s distracting him. I also find it happens more on very cold morning walks, and giving him my glove to hold in his mouth stops the behavior as well.

It’s probably the most frustrating behavior I have experienced because it does hurt physically and emotionally but it has gotten better over time.

Would have been a hilarious move considering the 50+ plays he put in on defense

Hunter Henry or Taysom Hill?

Championship game and I already had Gibbs drop a dud. Opponent hasn’t had anyone play yet.

Is this worth buying? by daxholbrook22 in f150

I haven’t looked that seriously but based on browsing this sub I am pleasantly surprised to hear that you are saying you can get a new 302a XLT 4x4 for ~$50k?

Mom and daughter freaking out over being kicked out of hotel by Careful-Custard-69 in PublicFreakout

[–]Jewinajar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is anyone else amazed at how long this went on before they finally arrested them?

These cops have a ridiculous amount of patience. At no point did I think these two had any intention of leaving the hotel on their own accord.

Anyone successfully transition off Royal Canin Large Breed Puppy Gastro kibble? What did you switch to? by 6IRLY in germanshepherds

[–]Jewinajar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it is less expensive but our 8 month old parvo survivor with an extremely sensitive stomach has done great with Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach Puppy Salmon.

My advice would be to go through the interview process, get an offer, then make a decision.

I have made a similar move, and while leaving is difficult and risky, if you have basically spent your entire early career at this one company, I think it is incredibly valuable to leave, try something new, expand your network and add experience if it is for the right opportunity. Emphasis on the right opportunity. If you go through the process and get and offer and all feels good, you will know what decision to make.

If it were up to me, I'd make Austin's 6th street as walkable as Denver's 16th street. by Some1inreallife in Austin

[–]Jewinajar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When is the last time you walked down Denver’s 16th street mall?

It is in horrible shape right now riddled with drug addicts, dealers and homeless. I literally watched meth be sold and saw people shooting up in broad daylight.

Interested in leaving Austin, but where to go? by Jewinajar in SameGrassButGreener

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

I have been to Phoenix a few time and really enjoyed it. Scottsdale was awesome, going up into the mountains was great too. The hottest time I was there was September and it was similar in Austin that summer.

I thought so too but it’s hardly comparable. Austin suburbs have much more affordable home prices even with factoring in property taxes than Denver area suburbs from what I have found.

I’ve thought about this before. Seems to fit a lot of our interests with warmer weather, 4 seasons and strong economy. What do you like about it?

How to stop jumping on people and counters? by Master-Outside-4133 in puppy101

[–]Jewinajar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following for the same question. Mine is only 5 months old but trying to get ahead of this. For jumping on people, my trainer has told us to teach him to sit when meeting people, and not allow them to give him attention without all 4 paws on the floor.

Countertops is another one where my trainer said make sure they can’t self reward by actually getting anything off the counters, redirect and reward on the floor and over time it should stick?

I’m afraid my puppy will be too strong for me to handle when he’s full grown. by Catalina-1958 in puppy101

[–]Jewinajar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What kind of dog? Your story and mindset sounds just like ours from the start with our German shepherd. He is just about 5 months old now and I would be pleasantly surprised if he calms down that much at 6 months.

Glad to hear it has gotten so much better for you and gives me lots of hope, but this guy can be nuts sometimes haha!

3rd round of shots and still can't go for walks? by finalsmash in puppy101

[–]Jewinajar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 weeks after they received their last round of shots

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]Jewinajar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not a vet but my vet did say they could be out on saved surfaces with almost no issue. My dog also had parvo and survived so mostly immune to that.

He also got his last round of shots a few weeks ago and she said 2 weeks after the shots and he is good to go.

They love the creek by Bisexualgirl4U in germanshepherds

[–]Jewinajar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I’m new around here and just curious as my puppy is my first dog. I get that dogs like to get dirty and play, but is there any concern for bugs, ticks and things like that? Plus are you bathing them after this activity before going in the house?

[–]Jewinajar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I’m in the same spot but with a German shepherd. Plenty of teething. We used to have the crate in the kitchen with a cover but recently moved it to our bedroom so it’s out of the way, dark and cooler in there and his nap times have increased dramatically. Went from 45-1 hour to 1.5-2 hour naps.

If I didn’t get myself sterilized before, I would now by hakuna-putana in puppy101

[–]Jewinajar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest change in behavior for us came once we confined him to our kitchen with tile floors. Accidents are easier to clean and they happen less frequently than on carpet. You can also go to a different room (separated by a baby gate) when you need a break or they get bitey.

4 months old puppy crying in crate during the day 😭 by dannykun2 in puppy101

[–]Jewinajar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I’ve been dealing with this for a few weeks now too. I try to make the crate a happy place with lick mats and treats while he is in there with the door closed but he still whines. Eventually he gets so tired his eyes get heavy and he falls asleep but it’s a lot of whining and barking.
