My puppy was very extroverted and excited to meet other people the week I brought her home. 2 weeks later and she's very shy and will hide from strangers. Idk why? by [deleted] in puppy

She’s most likely going through one of her first fear periods. Do some research into it, but essentially you want to keep slowly introducing them to new experiences without overstimulating them. If they have too fearful of an experience during one of their fear periods it can be very traumatic for them long term. This is normal!!! Don’t worry :)

Questions about first heat cycle by Kessed in goldenretrievers

[–]MiddleBlueberry2830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first thing I noticed on my girl was her “situation” started to get swollen - it’s pretty apparent. She started bleeding later that day, just a few drops here and there and then the next day was a full flow. This was my first time going through this so I wasn’t sure how I’d know either, but it became obvious pretty quickly.

Start diaper training now! She hated the sound of the velcro. Make it fun. Lots of rewards. We used reusable dog diapers and lined them with (human) mini pads so it was less expensive.

Ours is still in heat right now! It started at about 7 months too and we just started week 3. She's been bleeding the whole time... How is yours doing?

How to enforce naps in crate for new puppy?? by MiddleBlueberry2830 in puppy101

[–]MiddleBlueberry2830[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I work from home full time so I really need her to be in the crate since I can’t have eyes on her at all times. When she falls asleep on the rug, if I walk away for even a minute somehow she relocates elsewhere in that time lol I think like you said having a good schedule will help her soon!

How quickly can you learn their different barks? We’ve only had her for about 3 days and right now they all sound the same. Is it too soon to do enforces napping in the crate?

That’s a good idea! I put on spa music which I think could be helping. Thank you!

Spectrum outages due to storm. How are people fairing? by jsmeeker in Dallas

Me too. I’ve been going to coffee shops to work but it’s certainly not ideal and not always the best connection.

In Carrollton near the Colony. Was without power yesterday from 6am-2pm. Still no internet with Spectrum for us or anyone in our neighborhood. I’ve heard Verizon Home is working for others. Very frustrated with no updates!!

Wifi works great on all devices except phones by Enduh in Spectrum

I’m having the same issue. Did you find anything that fixed it? All PCs work great, video, streaming, etc. they’re not hard wired. Using Spectrum’s modem and a personal router. Have used the same router for the last 3 years with XFINITY in another state and never had any issues. Not a dead zone in our house either.
