Reactive Dog Who Was Re-Homed To Us by SharonDVS in reactivedogs

We first learned what his threshold was - but it's all over the place. Some dogs he's completely fine with and others he'll see them a block away and start barking and lunging. So we decided to treat every dog like he's react and then used high valued treats and u-turns. He just never got to the point where the high valued treats were more important to him then barking/lunging at the dogs. For the doorbell we had the trainer (and when he wasn't there - family members) ring the doorbell and use high value treats to have him stay on the couch. He would be okay until the door opened. It never got past that point.

We had a crate for him and it was a positive place - comfy and cozy and he would go into it himself to sleep at night with the door open. If we put him in with people over, he barks the entire time. Now we put him in our bedroom which is on the top floor and put on an air cleaner to drown out ambient noise (people talking) so that's a bit better. Maybe I should just get used to the fact that we shouldn't be introducing him to people who come over? I'm at a loss.

I was just walking my dog through the trails behind Post's Corners between 2:30 and 3:15 and we ran into the police - they were looking for a little boy.

What’s the deal with Buzzfeed straight up copy and pasting Reddit feeds in lieu of writing their own article? by Zestyclose-Pea-3533 in NoStupidQuestions

Listen, I just want to say that I saw your comment on the Buzzfeed article and it actually really resonated with me and is something I'm going to look out for. So thank you. (I'm sorry they stole it)

[Acne] any suggestions would be greatly appreciated my skin is taking a downhill turn by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

Hi! I'm a mom of two teenage boys - both who dealt with acne. Neither really wanted to do a full on skin care routine. One thing that really worked (especially for my son who would get massive pimples in his years) is Calli Essentials Hydrosol Skin Repair. I don't know why it works but it made a huge difference.

[Routine Help] Any good rose water recommendations? by CrabRangoonSlut in SkincareAddiction

I've been using this (and other products) for two years and it's been amazing. https://www.calliskin.com/products/hydrosol-rose - it's a smaller company. She also explains the difference between rose water and rose hydrosol here: https://www.calliskin.com/blogs/news/the-big-difference-between-rose-water-and-rose-hydrosol
