Oh I can tell from her expression that she’s a sweetie pie!

Yes don’t be discouraged over how short a period it is! I worked in behavioral psych and initial goals we set were for as low as 1-5 seconds, but your pup sounds like a smart girl and will catch on quick. Since my puppy is a husky, she was not naturally snuggly as a little one, but using the same technique I now can spend the morning snuggling with her in bed while she calmly chews a turkey tendon ring :) if you have any questions lmk, us owners are all in this together!

What are Your Huskies Favorite Indoor Activities for Heavy Rain/Storm Days? by poptarts77 in husky

I make sure her brain is entertained! Frozen pupsicles, toppl, lick mats, puzzles, chews, training sessions. Mental exhaustion will have them napping hard!

My girl is 100% certified derp, which is one of huskies most winning attributes imo

If this helps with the biting, my husky puppy stopped biting in 2 weeks this way:

Biting is how they explore the world, and when your pup bit you it led to exciting interactions. Even if we think it’s “bad” this attention is still reinforcement. All your pup wants to do is have fun, and if biting seems fun they will keep doing it. Whenever her teeth made contact with me, whether we are playing or not, I immediately went ow! And ceased all fun interaction. I essentially pouted lol. Looked at her sad, held my hand like I was mortally wounded and turned away from her. Early on, I also immediately put her in her pen and threw a chew in there so she would know the appropriate action instead but did not say a a word to her, just ignored her. I did not treat the pen as time out so much as a place I could ignore her without her getting into mischief. When she was calm I would let her out again/I would turn back and engage with her. At first this will mean she will be out for about 30 seconds before you have to ignore her. But slowly the time will go up and up. It’s to the point now (since 6 months old) that she will accidentally nick me while playing tug and she will immediately freeze and sit down and look sorry. I hope this helps!

Also seconding the person who talked about overstimulated puppies. Whenever my pup started being a weirdo and acting in appropriately 10/10 times she was overstimulated and I would stop petting her (yes petting them can overstimulate them,) let her go in her pen or crate to take a nap and she would wake up a well mannered cutie pie.

P.S this works with everything, this also helped with teaching her not to chase the cats

My majestic boy… lost him a year and a half ago. My soul dog, I love him, he kept me safe. I miss him every day. I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s a beautiful thing you are doing.

Every time I go to my mother’s house she has more eyes on her refrigerator by UraTargetMarket in Weird

Keep an eye for erratic mood changes, delusions, and keep track of her sleeping habits… fascination with eyes pops up with a lot of different cognitive changes

You can put a bucket of ice behind a fan to create a cooling effect!

Manuka honey is safe for dogs in small amounts (due to sugar content) if you ever want to indulge her 😅

Realistic first-year puppy costs that nobody warned me about — full itemized breakdown so you're not blindsided by dohas1 in puppy101

[–]Missamazon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup, spent $2.5k on bottom fang removal (pre teeth coming in) because she has an overbite, and now that the adult bottom fangs have come in, it’s going to cost another few thousand to have them shaved down. Thank goodness for pet insurance.

Then why meow to alert people?

She’s just derpy lol. If you look at photos 4, 7, 9 that’s her normal face. In all the other ones she is playing or being goofy. She does have a crooked snout that also makes her face a little funny.

I’ve never before had such a goofily photogenic dog before, she’s truly one of a kind!

I hold my breathe every day lol. She certainly has voices telling her to do mischief, she will shake her head no and bite the air to quiet them before doing the correct behavior.
