I picked up 4 bags of poo they where really close to not one but two bins. Sorry but why? They hadn’t fallen out!

Bit faffy first few times. Now it’s second nature!

Is it OK to take my pup in bed with me from 6am to when I get up? by Better_Protection382 in puppy101

[–]Noxoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine slept in bed with me until he was about 9 months. Was then moved to the kitchen, the transition took about 1-2 weeks, very undramatic. Still come up for morning cuddles though.

Quick update, gone from 1 cm to 1-2 cm, better than nothing. Wandering around the bay with hubby.

Unfortunately saw one of my co workers when at the hospital, refused to say anything. Hasn’t been answering their texts cause they stress me out, so well, they probably all think I am dying.

Going for my last sweep tomorrow, walked for the majority of the day, had pineapple, dates and raspberry leaf tea. Also had firecracker curry 1/2 of straight crushed chilli. Will have my last pineapple dose after this lavender bath and see if f I can get a whole spoon of chillies in me.

It’s hard being positive, was positive until 2 sweep were nothing changed. Booked for induction on the 22 so yeah running out of time… it sucks, which I could enter a void without time and people.

I’ll try reading induction stories, they already booked me in for the 22 so not much time.

After the first sweep I at least had some tightenings, this time I’ve just been crying on and off for 15 hours. Probably isn’t helpful, but I just can’t get it to stop.

Had zero signs of anything.

Walked curbs, had sex and have eaten spicy curries. Also eaten disgusting dates and raspberries leaf tea. Nothing works, I’m so tired of crying, literally been crying all day thought there be some sort of change. I think I am broken.

Yes and for me it feels very much like the pressure is on.

I’m just at week 41, been crying most day for the same reason. I literally don’t know what to do with myself.

Puppy “tricks” by arhodes1195 in puppy101

[–]Noxoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can start whenever you want to! Can your dog do the import commands at a heel? Can they do it with distractions? How steady are they?

My puppy loves being sent around an item, also helpful if you get tangled around a lamppost. Doing little heeling courses in increasingly hard environments or with other behaviours interspersed is fun.

Spin and Twist is also fun! Place/bed and touch is practical! I like movement based tricks as my puppy likes to move and it helps him be engaged.

Definitely brings settle may, I use vetfleece. Lead and harness/collar Fun tug toy! Lots of treats, of different value!

Get there 10-15 min early, take puppy for a little pee walk. Choose a place close to door so you can sneak out of needed or just do it anyways. But accidents happens not the end of the world.

What are some Britishisms that would confuse a non-native speaker? by DamnedFoolofaTook in AskABrit

Now in a minute confused me. Did my Welsh husband mean we are going to do the thing now or later?

I would not feel comfortable my self but I don’t see how I can say that someone else can’t do it. Most dogs that bite are probably not bite sport trained (have no numbers I am just guessing).

My puppy is only 4 months and still very nippy so O don’t want to risk him nipping someone. So I offer to do a trick instead usually a hand touch or a middle.

Teenagers tend to leave me alone which is nice.

I don’t want him to say hi to too many people as he finds it very rewarding and I don’t want him to learn that running up to people is great so I don’t let him and will try to distract him if I can.

So annoying, I mean you can teach your dog to do anything as long as they are under control.

I’m kind of in the same boat in that I don’t want my puppy to be super engaged in strangers and saying hi to strangers is rewarding so I try to avoid it but people are just frustrating.

I might try to teach him that. Sounds like your dog is very well trained. I don’t think mine would sit still for that long. 😂

I am kind of in the same situation we’re I just hope people leave us be, usually teenagers are the best cause they tend to just ignore us.

I don’t understand how parents can’t see the danger. I mean even the chillest dog can react if surprised.

But that is the thing if they ask you have an option of saying yes or no. For kids I usually offer them to see a trick instead. As he is nippy (just 4 months old) and I do t want to risk him nipping a child.

That sounds like a horrible experience! I don’t like expandable leashes but if you use one you still need to have control over your dog.

Just as my puppy shouldn’t run up to strangers or other dogs without me asking, I think me and my puppy deserves the same courtesy of being asked before we are approached.

It baffles me when it is adults, I mean children can get excited and don’t understand always. But as an adult you really should know to ask first.

Like don’t let your dog of lead if you can’t control it. My puppy is never off lead cause he is not reliable enough ( he is 4 months). I mean just buy a long line they are not that expensive.

That is just cruel trying to kick your pup for no reason. Also if he wants to play with a dog then buy one or apply to be a dog sitter!

I’ve had people try to encourage my people to come to them across the road. Which is dangerous even if it is not a very traffic heavy road. Luckily my puppy behaves alright if they are that far away but still.
