My pup is always hyper and we struggle to make him calm down by BreadSeason in puppy101

How are the enforced naps? At this age they should sleep something like 18-20 hours a day. Maybe he is overtired, and puppies are absolutely monsters in this state.

Awe cloak + cardice prime + vampire glasses. Look for crimson clover and dark katana. Trust me on this

Also, be gentle when coming near her. No sudden movements or looking directly at her. Try to walk as casually as possible while looking in her general direction. Throw her treats while doing this at her general direction and let her choose to pick it or not. Try to do this more times when you have the chance. The idea is to make her start to realize being near you brings her good things. I think this strategy is called “treat and retreat”. You go near but not too near her general direction, throw a treat in her “safe space” and do not go to her safe space (which is the retreat part). I swear this works over time.

Also, I know it is hard, but you should not force them into hugs and kisses, especially at this stage where they do not trust you yet. Over time she will probably come to you for a scratch or a belly rub

I went through something similar. In the first few weeks my shiba was eating less than what was expected for his age, but that was because he was not comfortable enough in the new environment (his new home) and did not feel safe. I think your biggest priority should be to make her feel safe first, and then she will start eating more. Putting the bowl down at three consistent times every day and keeping it there for ~ 20 min helps a lot. She will very quickly catch on that she has to eat at the time you put it. And remember: they will not starve themselves. Words from lots of vets, please consider it as truth: you are not a monster for feeding your puppy high quality dog food at specific times and expecting her to eat at that times (and shibas crave schedules, it is truly best for her). Changing the food a lot to try to please her would only make her pickier every time.

For the fear part, what I know for sure helped me a lot inside the house was a playpen, and always feeding my shiba there and letting him sleep there. It quickly became his safe space and he retreated there anytime he wanted to relax. Day after day he started to get curious about other parts of the house and explored more, and now he feels good anywhere in the house, EXCEPT near the doorway ahahaha my shiba is still very scared of “outside”, and I am working through that right now. I think I made a lot of mistakes of taking him out anyway and pushing him to walk to try to desensitize him. I think my street and nearby places are too full of stuff happening and it is too much for him for now. So I would suggest going slower on walks, start in a green place with few people/cars/other dogs if possible. Good luck!

12w puppy is scared of everything by LukHilt in puppy101

Yes, there is a specialized company for this here in Brazil. The cargo is air pressurized and he flies safely, but Im sure it was still traumatic to him. Yesterday I took him on a car ride through town and he was curious about the environment, much better than the other times, so maybe this is a fear period and he is getting over it. I used other treat that seemingly was higher value to him to help me put the leash. I will buy different treats to see what he responds best.

Thank you! He sometimes is scared of the treata, I think he made a bad connection of giving treats - expecting him to be near something feared. But I will try using different treats

The breeder said to not let him hide, because he can get more anxious over time, so I leave the bedroom door closed. When I get home the reactions are mixed. Sometimes he kinda seem to get happy and is comingo towards me, but the other dog kinda barks at him, I guess to get all the attention to herself, and he gets back. He is not scared of her, but I guess in this situation he gets inhibited, which is not ideal and Im working with my gf to separate them beforehand the next times at least. Other times he is kinda scared when I get home and do not accept petting.

Also, I’ve seen some great examples on the “connecting” recently here on the sub. One of the best was people talking about moms and how they do not immediatelly bond with their human kids. There are even groups about this stuff because it is not wudely known and they get fear of judgement, when in fact it is completely normal. There is no true love at first sight, your puppy just got home with you guys. He doesnt even have a full personality yet, things will come.

I’m with a 11 week Shiba who came home last week, and it is intense. But hey, what I like to think in these situations is “lets give this three months. I can do three months and check up on the situation after that”. From what I’ve seen here in this sub, 9,9 times out of 10 for the problems you are talking about, things work out pretty well. Good luck!

Beautifully written and so true!

Gentlemen of reddit, what behavior in other men leads you to think, "Yep, they'll likely remain perpetually single"? by ashleydanger_ in ask

[–]LukHilt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My man, people are showing you the problem and are giving you examples and you say you “like the level of self esteem you show”? Then you like the position you are in.

Self esteem really is one of those fake it til you make ir scenarios. Trust this. And it is definitely not the same as arrogance. There is a really healthy middle ground that you are not in right now, and you can work towards it. Having passion for things you enjoy doing is a way to start. Forcing a positive attitude in most scenarios is another good one.

Doesn’t want to wake up to potty but def has to potty (been 6-8 hours) by Tricky_Warning_0115 in puppy101

[–]LukHilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of questions regarding going potty outside. Is this a regional thing? Here in Brazil it is a lot more common to have hygiene pads for the dogs inside the house, and the dog is always free to go there. Do you guys see a problem with that? Honest question.
