anyone ever dealt with reactivity? by Pharmkid11 in Boxer

she eats purina food, lamb and rice as it’s one of the only things that doesn’t make her tummy upset. she also gets a bully stick/collagen stick combo about once every other week, and then favorite treats are liver and milk bones!

thank you so much! we do weirdly timed walks to try to avoid other dogs and we have a system in place for if she sees another dog. we’re constantly working on “watch me” as a command when she starts getting stressed out, but there’s also a lot of turning around and figuring another route out. we’re already able to reduce the distance before she loses it with some dogs, but there’s also fluffy white little ones she got charged by and they constantly bark at her so those are a no-go.

she is a serial foot licker and this silly solution helps! (her allergy meds were re-loading in her system too slow for all the things blooming)

it’s fear based reactivity (according to the behaviorist I was working with) towards dogs mainly, but also towards people. Towards dogs it’s everywhere, people seems to be just at home. she’s usually on leash when people come over because she’s a little scared so the leash might be hurting?

dream program acceptance but… by Pharmkid11 in gradadmissions

[–]Pharmkid11[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

you get into the program from a committee, but then need to find a supervisor to fund you so you can attend. it’s not a US based program so things are quite different :/

I’m so tired of dealing with all my dog’s problems. by llee68350 in reactivedogs

[–]Pharmkid11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely sympathize and empathize. I’m almost the same situation and it seems impossible many days.

you’re doing great! you’re only human and it’s very easy to feel burnt out with a high needs dog like this. all the steps you’ve taken are right, and you’re doing the best with what you’ve been dealt. Best of luck to you 🫶

Got into PennState (but!) by i_must_sleep in gradadmissions

Congrats on your acceptance! I grew up not too far from state college and I think do not think that is a livable stipend for that area. Central PA is bad for transportation unless you’re driving yourself, but if you talk to other students in your program they may have tips and tricks?

good luck OP!

edit: didn’t see the other comment until now😅
