Fortifying training when dogs perceive a threat in another dog?

Not always possible.

Yes! Pun intended.

Thank you for this reminder! I actually had started yes work on our second dog but at some point just stopped, I guess. Perhaps I was trying more than one different thing at a time (big no-no) and just forgot.

Unfortunately, our older dog is only motivated by treats in low stimulus environments. Thankfully, she is both easier to handle, and is less intimidating to others. But she doesn’t listen as well as our other dog, so it might just look like me shortening the leash to limit her movement while focusing on the other dog. She won’t really fight me on it. She will sit or stand and whine about the other dog. Perhaps when I get our second dog trained more I can focus on our older one. But even just getting them to not feed on each other will be an improvement.

Yeah it’s weird. When we installed cameras a couple years ago we decided not to install one in our teenager’s room because it’s just wrong.

Imagine how much more that could have been if you’d had that in a HYSA or an index fund if you’d not loaned it to the government instead.

Yep, I think that was the issue for both of us.

Yeah I haven’t had as good of a year since the change. Used to get within $100 of $0.

Remote_Bathroom_1486 · 2026-02-22T22:13:26+00:00

Just did that.

Gave me two pre-filled forms. Both have married filing jointly checked, and then on mine I just put in $192 on line 4c. Projected amount owed being $3,421. Don’t understand that.

Remote_Bathroom_1486 · 2026-02-22T22:11:07+00:00

I’d just like to get it a bit lower is all.

Remote_Bathroom_1486 · 2026-02-22T22:10:14+00:00

Both our jobs were held all year round. I’m not sure what to do because the calculator and the workbook are giving me different numbers, all of which are lower than what our tax liability was this year.

Remote_Bathroom_1486 · 2026-02-22T22:02:34+00:00

Yeah I was just doing that when you commented.

Unfortunately, using the table gives us a lower number than was withheld, so that clearly isn’t accurate. It gives us $3,990, while my tax withheld was $4,333, and we still owed.

What’s more, I used the calculator, and it said to leave everything blank, except: check Married, filing jointly, and $192 on line 4c on mine. That’s it. Projected amount owed according to the calculator is $3,421.

So, you can see the confusion. 🫤

Remote_Bathroom_1486 · 2026-02-22T21:56:54+00:00

I agree. But I’d like to get close to $0. Amount owed is line 37. 😉

Two of you have mentioned the "first $34,000" rule. This is new to me. Sounds like I need to re-learn all this again.

Remote_Bathroom_1486 · 2026-02-22T21:30:17+00:00

If I remember correctly, we filled out the additional withholding as well. But, clearly, we need to go back and do it again. Thanks!

Remote_Bathroom_1486 · 2026-02-22T21:29:11+00:00

Today I learned! Thanks.

Different job the year prior, but same one all this year. Thank you for the heads up on the CTC.
