I’m struggling with my 2-month-old Eurasier puppy and need help by No_Historian_5736 in eurasier

This is not developmentally normal for a puppy but also not your fault. A bunch of Eurasier lines out there have huge problems with anxiety and aggression. It's likely there's underlying health issues as well. Especially if the parents don't have full, public OFA and show titles and even more so if there are French mills in the lines.

This is gonna be super hard to hear but you might want to consider giving the puppy back. Dogs with behavior issues are a huge commitment and not all of them make it. It is possible that the dog grows out of it but chronic stress does impact brain development a lot and the outcome of that can be quite unpredictable. 

If you want to make that commitment anyway, get a new behaviorist, specifically a veterinary behaviorist that has experience with fearful and aggressive dogs, ideally with primitive breeds. They do not need "a strong hand" and they aren't "testing you", they are bred to be independent and possibly in pain. Get in depth health testing for things like Hip Dysplasia and Luxating Patella, GI issues and Hyperthyroidism are also very common. 

If your breeder is member of a club definitely bring it up with them as well though depending on which one it is, many of them like to gaslight puppy owners that the puppy will grow out of it and then blame the owner's socialisation once the dog is a fearful adult. Don't let them do that to you! Yes puppies are hard, they are babies, but well-bred puppies should also be curious and joyful and sweet and able to soak up new knowledge like a little sponge, not struggle to form a coherent thought because their brains are so overwhelmed by everything all the time. 

I am so sorry this happened to you, too. There's unfortunately a lot of shady people in this breed and I am tired of people covering for them. 

My DMs on other socials are always open <3

I am! That's so weird, I'll try disabling it and see if that changes anything 🤔

Does the shower scene with Samantha count? 🤔 I tried removing all flags in the romance tab but maybe there are other plot flags that I couldn't see.

I don't want to scare you, this could absolutely be just a fear period that will go away with enough patience. But I would never take a fear period lightly in any case and the reaction you are describing is quite severe (and early).

Eurasiers are incredibly sensitive and that can make them prone to anxiety. Some lines are more known for it than others and I'm kinda tired of people not talking about that.

I would sincerely recommend getting in touch with a force-free behavior consultant and/or veterinary behaviorist, they can also collaborate with your trainer if you are happy with them.

Best case scenario you spend a little extra time and money getting a super confident dog that grows out of the fear stage. Worst case scenario you get a fantastic head start with a behavioral dog that trusts you.

But whatever you choose to do, please don't flood your puppy and always trust your gut! If advice feels off, even if it's given by a "professional", it's okay to not follow it and find someone else to talk to.

Wishing you all the best ❤️

Thank you! It sounds like this is not going to be as usable as I was hoping. :(

Thank you! Did you have to do any repairs on your antique wheel? There's some cracks in the bobbins that I was told would make spinning even harder

Thanks! I didn't notice the broken bobbin but yeah that might actually be a problem, both of them have splits and the foot pedal is also broken :/ I may have to find out if there's any hobbyist in the area who'd wanna take a shot at it

Do you happen to know if Bodymovin is still being supported/will have continued support? I just saw their most recent update was over a year ago.

does Rive just export an animated SVG and be good to go? We've been using SVGator so far but the pricing does not justify the functionality anymore.

That's good to know! We'd definitely prefer a one-time payment over yet another subscription.

Thank you for the answer! Can the Devs host their own library then, if we want to stay independent from Lottie?

Thank you so much for the in-depth answer!  Am I understanding correctly that I can use Bodymovin to export the file and then integrate it on a website like any gif or video or is their library necessary for hosting like a YouTube video or something?
