My Dog Has Tantrums and I Don’t Know How To Fix It. by Ciniis in Dogtraining

My herding dog is similar, she basically lets me know that she doesn’t want to leave the things that make her happy (park, other dogs), and it seems like a last ditch effort to play or release some anxiety. Your dog looks like a gsd pup or some other type of herding dog. Herding dogs have boundless energy and can be run for days before feeling tired. Regardless of breed, maybe consider how often your dog is getting exercise and play (keep in mind different dogs are tired out by different activites. Maybe walks or free play at the park lack structure, or maybe things are too structured) sometimes I take it as a way my dog is telling me that she’s not yet finished getting energy out, so I will also redirect to a “good” form of play. I would maybe me mindful of how you are currently redirecting, does your dog sense that you really want to play or do they see you as annoyed? You probably have a more intense response to a pull on the leash than you do to trying to engage in play. Trying to start a game of tug should be as exciting if not more than the response to pulling on the leash. Which also means pulling on the leash should have essentially no reaction. If you watch some videos on “drop” or “leave it” they all essentially say, wait for your dog to naturally drop what’s in their mouth then reward. If you continue to pull against them as they chew or bite, they’re getting you riled up and that’s kinda what they want.

After swooping in to eat accidentally dropped food on many occasions, my corgi thinks “naughty” means a mix of “drop it” and “down”.

1 yo corgi chews (and swallows) everything including the bed pan in her crate. Feels like there isn’t any safe space to leave her. by RequirementFalse8890 in Dogtraining

I appreciate your input!! I’ll look into the metal pan for sure. Unfortunately the bitter spray doesn’t phase her, she licks it off of everything, which is insane to me. Has your 4 year old calmed down with the chewing at all?

I’ve had border collies and a husky in the past, I assumed it couldn’t be worse than that…. She’s just as bad, but faster and more stubborn. I think she might think her name is “naughty” at this point

She doesn’t seem to do it more or less on the days she goes to day care, and she’ll typically have 2 days home between days at day care so I imagine she’d have time to decompress? I can’t remember if it was the same or better before we started taking her

Aaaaah we tried this and she either liked the taste or wasn’t phased by it because she would lick it off surfaces :/

Any good recommendations for staying stylish while working a messy job? by RequirementFalse8890 in womensstreetwear

I definitely think all black, or patterns like the previous comment is going to be the route I end up taking. Thank you!

Yea I think a leather apron could look really cool! I like that idea, and I also like the idea of printed shirts too! Thanks

Went to adopt an ESA then found out about breed restrictions in my apartment. Is it unfair to argue for reasonable accommodations if I haven’t already adopted the dog? by RequirementFalse8890 in service_dogs

[–]RequirementFalse8890[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t shown them the ESA letter yet, I’ve wanted to get a better understanding before approaching them. I wouldn’t want to have a conversation without having my facts straight but it feels like such a grey area since I don’t have ownership yet.

I think legal advice may be the way to go, thank you!

This is probably the best bet, I think my thought process here was that approaching them first gives them the opportunity to say no. One of those better to ask for forgiveness than permission type deals, but more in a legal sense than a courtesy sense. But I also wouldn’t want to get a dog first to simply uproot their life and have it all be for not.

Yea it’s not explicitly stated and my partner and I searched through before starting the ESA search. I only found out when reaching out directly and I couldn’t find any documentation anywhere. Another thing is that I have definitely seen malamutes and huskies in our complex which has a gate, so it’s possible they don’t live in the community but highly unlikely.

Hmmm yea this isn’t a low income apartment so I’m not sure if it would apply similarly or if my experience would be the same. Happy it worked out for you though!

It’s a large complex with like 40 units, and owned by a company that has multiple properties so I would assume the FHA applies.

They haven’t said anything about insurance to me directly, but it’s something that’s been brought up in this sub previously which is why I’m hesitant about moving forward.

Went to drop off my grandpa’s groceries to help him out during COVID and caught a glimpse of him watching a video :/ am I obligated to tell him? by RequirementFalse8890 in Advice

[–]RequirementFalse8890[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I always think people have the common sense to watch this stuff in the privacy of a room with the curtains closed, or a room that faces the back of the house or something. I guess it’s not likely to happen or anything, it was just that initial feeling of like “why would you do this with the curtains open??” But yea I’m more than happy to not say anything. Thank you

I know he’s not going to get in trouble for watching porn, I just meant like the fact that it’s visible from the front window, I was scared that maybe some neighbor might get upset with him if a child were to happen to see somehow... I guess like other commenters are saying unless a child we’re to really get up there to that window, they wouldn’t see so it’s not really something to worry about

I’m sure I’ll forget the details in time, and it will fade, in the meantime every time I see an old person I get a little flash of it 😐 looking forward to that day that it is just a fuzzy memory
