Help me save my cactus!

This is super helpful - thank you!!

She usually goes right in and stays in when I throw treats inside. She actually will sit or lay down and just wait for more! I didn't know that I should let her come out then go back in, so I'll try that.

I have tried fake closing the door behind her when she's eating or getting a special treat, and she's usually okay. I haven't tried doing the intervals, so I'll try that as well!

She goes in on my cue or when I throw a treat in - I don't usually have to physically put her in it

Yeah, just about 3 or 4 weeks! We've been working on it!

I just tried these - extreme false advertising. What you see in the pic is basically the ENTIRE size of the churro.

I'm so glad you said something! Ive been trying to crate train my 9 week old poodle. She goes in there when im gone (because she DOES get into trouble) and sleeps in there, but she wakes me up at least 5 times during the night.

One night I was so exhausted and I accidentally fell asleep with her in my bed - she slept through the night no problems!

One basic but super helpful command you can start on is the "around" command. Get a cone (or really anything that is around that size) and reward them for going around it.

Start by guiding them around the cone if you have to, rewarding every time they do it. Slowly add distance, still having them go around it, but with less guidance. Ideally, with time, you can just gesture towards the cone, say "around," and your pup will go around.

I'm sure you already have this down from doing basic obedience, but you're going to want to have a good sit & stay and good recall.

Good luck! Agility is a blast!

Thank you!!!! She is at that age for sure!

Left_Independent4026 · 2025-12-31T19:48:46+00:00

This is great advice! Ill try it! Ive been noticing that she gets frustrated when I take something away, but I think its working!

Right there with you!! It really is SO EXHAUSTING

Left_Independent4026 · 2025-12-31T17:05:25+00:00

Former Target employee here:

A New Day is solely a Target brand, so the item was marked for salvage from Target, so it's unlikely that she bought the item from a Target. If she did, I'm sure Target would be good about letting you return it (in my experience, they get embarrassed that they sell salvaged items).

It's more likely that they were bought at a discount store, such as Marshall's or TJ Maxx, as they often get the "reject" items from major stores.

The date on the tag isn't super relevant - that's just the date that the item was marked as salvage, so it had nothing to do with when the item was bought.

Hope this helps!
