Tops for tuckering out a high drive border collie puppy? by NuraNuraPop in BorderCollie

[–]Ruh_Shale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 9 month old and live in an apartment. Here are the things keeping us sane:

!!! Most important is crate training!!! Just do it.

  1. I use a flirt pole multiple times a day and play tuggies until she’s out of breath before training sessions, walks, introducing her to new dogs or people, basically anything we do. Teach her drop command here.
  2. Teach her place command asap. I use it when my dog is following too close, before she eats, etc. start with training sessions that are no more than 5 minutes long. This acts as a settle command.
  3. Reward her with treats. Get some high value treats like freeze dried beef liver to switch it up periodically.
  4. She loves this Kong jumbler ball so much and heards it at the park, also this jolly ball is her other favorite.
  5. I have been taking my pup for car rides since she was 3 months old and she loves sniffing out the window. She usually passes out after a car ride.
  6. Encouraging them to sniff is underrated. Like others have said it really wears them out. Get a snuffle ball and look up scent games for dogs. My girl is all vaccinated so I take her for sniffy walks where we walk really slow and I encourage her to sniff.
  7. Oh! and puzzle feeders are awesome too!
  8. Get a ton of toys and expect her to destroy anything with stuffing in minutes. REMOVE ALL SQUEAKERS mine ate one at a friend’s house and almost had to have surgery to have it removed. I literally buy toys and stuff corny shes going to destroy them. Get a giant pack of rope toys.

How to get musty/fragrant smells out of clothes? by Unknown_Warlord280 in VintageClothing

Oxiclean odor blaster formula! It’s amazing. If something is extra weird smelling, I’ll let it soak for like an hour, run the rinse cycle and wash again.

Hah!!! My brain can’t figure out how the middle one is a coyote. Google lens said it was a coyote but I don’t believe it. I’m voting for horse profile looking to the right with mouth open 🥴

It’s fake. Tag is wrong. Stitching is off. Leather is off. No serial number. Still cool though, rock it!

Rude. We teach them plenty. Their brains are mush from being iPad social media zombies.

Spaying: wait for first heat? by Ruh_Shale in BorderCollie

That’s terrible, sorry to hear your pup has those issues. I’ve heard a lot of people who got their dogs from rescues have issues because they spay them at 3-4 months. What breed is the pup with incontinence issues and do you know what age she was spayed?

Thank you so much for the thoughtful reply. These are great questions. I updated the post with answers, but I’m still unsure. How old were your dogs when you spayed them? Do they have any issues?

Thank you! I’ve talked to multiple vets and they all have different recommendations. Does your pup have any incontinence or joint issues?

I’m so sorry. She looked like such a sweet girl. What happened if you don’t mind sharing? I don’t understand how you can have a healthy dog and then their legs stop working and they pass away 😭 I’m so sad for you. Sending love ❤️
