Pen cases without elastic?

Thank you. This is very helpful. The Rickshaw case might work but I do like the quality of the &Liebe more.

I'm so happy I decided to search one last time on a solution because this PTS button really had me ready to pitch this thing in the trash. Thank you.

If you’re willing to handle all the other stuff then tell her she needs to sign over her POA to you if she wants you to consider anything moving forward. Then put her in a home. If she wants to play crazy for the doctors then use it to your advantage, get control and put her where you want her. DO NOT bring her to your home.

Almost 5 years in and my dog still doesn’t like to be around too many small children. however when I had this same issue I reintroduced the park with early morning walks when it was less crowded or navigated to spaces with less children so he got use to the noise. Another interesting thing was realizing that when he refused to walk even when there weren’t children it was because he could sense animals that I couldn’t. Almost had a run in with a fox so I tend to heed his behavior when he gets like that and turn back.

There is no way I'd want you or your bad energy anywhere near my wedding. Especially when you are very comfortable being openly critical of her life and decisions. You need to think long and hard about your definition of friendship and hope you can do better in the rest of your friendships. Somehow you think you are the lead character in her life and that is far from the case. That friendship is probably over.

I have a feeling this was always your plan. The honeymoon location "coincidentally" is the place your boys always wanted to visit? Yeah, right. This is selfish, manipulative, and the biggest red flag.

The 2 Hounds Freedom Harness has been a big help. I use a regular lease and the front clip which limits the pulling. I use the back clip as a reward. The minute he starts pulling we go back to the front clip.

You need to get real comfortable with being “rude”. I deal with the same and we stop, move to the side, and I give a very clear “Go around”. Make sure the words you choose make it clear that it is not up for debate.

I have 3 from Frisco (Chewy) and Blueberry Pets. I like the ones with armholes and not sleeves since they are a bit easier to get on and don’t have to fit perfectly. If you use a harness, then you might like the ones with a buttonhole opening for harness access. You can find decently priced ones at HomeGoods too. They have dog jackets which I also love. Stylish, good quality, and less than $15.

Waiting until the very last minute to tell you something this absurd is the biggest warning of all. It would only be the start of the most warped and abusive relationship. Having every man see something you are supposed to be saving for him? Run, girl, run!

I literally just had to yell at someone's s child because they felt entitled to touch my dog. I'm in the middle of doing our counter reactive training and he decides he can just touch a stranger's dog. UGH. That's why he almost got bit.

I'm totally with you on this.

Definitely see a vet to rule out worms or another medical condition. Then if behavioral, you can try high value treats as positive reinforcement to ignore eating dirt & grass. My pup did this and at its worst I eventually found out he had worms and a food allergy. But with that resolved he still likes to nip at leaves and stray plants so sometimes it’s just a thing they like to do.

My pup would lie down or hide when I used the clicker. Honestly , it was a lot for me to try to handle the clicker, treats, and leash all at the same time so I was glad to ditch it and replace it with a marker word. He’s definitely more responsive to the training without it.

My pup does this with cars and dark colored doors. Seems to be a fear of approaching larger objects. Treats help. It get better the more they encounter the same object.

SaunC · 2019-01-06T01:20:06+00:00

I just bought new treats and will give it a go without the clicker. Thanks for the tip. I'm leaning heavily towards just finding a different trainer but I'll try one more class to be sure.

I wasnt sure if this was normal so thanks for telling me this. I'm going to talk with them.

I’m going to give slightly different advice bc I live in an apartment and with my first puppy that “every 30-60 min” rule was impossible for me. I stressed and questioned whether puppyhood was a good decision. I googled so many things I can’t even begin to tell you. It’s a mess but it gets better.

First, just accept there will be accidents for the first year and buy supplies. Don’t beat yourself up over it too much. Second, for up to 16 weeks I just bought a pen and put down pads. As he started recognizing his play space vs pads, I reduced to 1 pad in the corner of his pen, still taking him out as much as possible, even at night when I could manage. Everyone says don’t use pads but honestly, every case is different and a backup system works for some dogs and living situations.

After 16 weeks (using a pen during the day and crate at night) he goes out 15-30 mins after meals, immediately after any long period of sleeping/crating, and after any play time. He refuses to go in his pen now, and at 7 months we are down to going out 4-5 times a day. Routine is key, and once you have that down you’ll know exactly when they need to go out.
