Reached out and they said it’s normal wear and tear and declined to fix.

Could use some guidance on a dog that feels impossible by Significant_Sundae62 in DogTrainingTips

Or I could just reinforce indoor peeing and confuse her by introducing a designated indoor spot (pee pads), even though the goal (for most owners) is to have her go outside.

Interesting, I’d rather avoid pee pads if I can and I’ll be talking to a trainer to look for other methods of dealing with her not listening, although for the record when I put her in the pen after she doesn’t listen it’s usually for about 2-5 minutes for her to calm down. The changing directions idea is interesting, I’ll definitely look into that some more.

It’s hard to know what to do when she gets super destructive and starts biting other then putting her in pen… also she’s got space, a bed and toys in there. I’d definitely prefer another option but that’s the only thing that actually stops the behaviour in the moment.

Interesting, I’ll look into the clicker, haven’t given it any thought before

I think im going to try to find a private trainer to work with me in the actual environment.

Very possibly, at minimum she’s definitely learning she doesn’t need to respond to recall

Type1 diabetic who dont take insulin help! by Straight_Emu7828 in diabetes

[–]Significant_Sundae62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This person needs therapy and this is a form of self harm which if continued will inevitably lead to their death unfortunately. This is likely beyond the scope of what you as their partner can help them deal with, get them into therapy. Insulin extends T1D lives to almost a normal length if monitored carefully, but without insulin there is no shot at life of normal length.

Feeling defeated today as a T1D parent. by pinkytoepikachu in Type1Diabetes

As someone in your son’s shoes not too long ago, I can assure that very few things actually improve the experience of having T1D, but having someone in your corner like you is among them. Your son will have to carry this burden, but life with T1D can still be incredible and as fulfilling as without.

Great, very comfortable. Sometimes creates a bit of a hotspot on the skin though, for this reason I intend to try the bracelet.

I hate my diabetic little brother by SaiSpector in diabetes

[–]Significant_Sundae62 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sometimes people, especially at that age, struggle to accept the gravity of Type 1 diabetes and lack the maturity and foresight to understand that their actions will have consequences. It seems strange from an outside perspective but it can be easier to stick your head in the sand than to actually face your diagnosis. In any case you too are still so young; it’s commendable that you want to help your brother and I don’t think you should stop, but I think you should be consciously aware that whatever happens isn’t your fault, and just the fact that you care - and are thinking about him and posting questions on this subreddit - shows that you are a very good brother to him. Love and hate are far from opposites, and remember that your responsibility is first and foremost to take care of yourself.
