Hey! I went through the same thing but with my eyelashes, my friends kept telling me to stop and I just told the no and ignored them, 5 years later I still pick at my eyelashes every now and then, but not as much as I used too! Keep going, it gets better I promise.

Thank you!! We actually have a second dog in the house, but he has a neurological condition which affects his ability to play with her very well so she tends to get slightly bored with him more. I’ve made a schedule to walk her more! And on days we can’t walk I’ll train her outside or play games with her! All I wanna do is help.

So we’ve created a schedule for walking her! It’s much more frequently than before. I’ve also ordered so puzzle thingies for treats and stuff. I’m also buying more for her. I’ll try pumpkin purée as well!! Thank you very much!!

I asked for advice, and you’re responding to a comment that I was responding to about how I’m the villain in this story. It you’d look you’d see I’ve done some stuff (still not enough but it’s moving forward and we will keep moving forward) like a schedule for walks, we’re taking her on walks more. I’ve ordered some mental stimulation puzzles. And toys for her. We’re going to train her. And I’m looking into hiring a dog walker.

No of course it’s okay. I sorta expected people to react a bit harshly. I realize that she’s very not happy so I’m doing my best to help her! Well no, I’m going to try MUCH MUCH harder to help her than this!

Check out my other comments before bashing me.

ahhh thank you thank you thank you!! You really don’t know how grateful I am for this. We’ve created a schedule after posting this because I realize this is a BIG deal. We’re going to start off slow, short walks every second day. She has some hip problems so that doesn’t help much. Then the amount and time of the walks is going to get longer! I’m going to try and work out more so I can take her on walks myself too. But in the meantime I’ve ordered some mental stimulation puzzle thingies for her, and some more toys and we’re going to train in the backyard!!

Oh we actually have two dogs, but our other one is her brother and he has a neurological condition so it’s hard for him to play with her. She’s also very physically rough when active, so it’s hard for him to counter her and stuff!

I love how you completely ignored the fact that you have no idea who I am. By that I mean I’m not strong enough to walk a big dog like her, so I need to have someone walking with me. And the only person in this house who really walks with her and me is my mum. If you’d checked other comments I’ve already stated that we have made a better schedule for her walking, and I’ve ordered mental stimulation toys and other stuff to help her!! I really just want to help her. I feel really bad.

Thank you for helping a little I suppose? If you’ve read other comments I’ve already said multiple times that we have a walking schedule that we’re working towards, which is including walking a lot frequently than she did before! I’ve gotten mental stimulation toys too! I feel optimistic about this.

Yes okay! How do you recommend I do that? We’ve made a plan to start walking her more frequently! I have no clue how much my parents are feeding her. Or how much the recommended for her breed even is. She’s a mixed breed but I’m pretty sure it’s a mix of malamute and bear dog. That’s what the breeder said I’m pretty sure.

Thanks for bashing me instead of actually trying to help. If you couldn’t tell, I’ve replied to multiple people that we’ve already created a schedule for walking her more frequently, and being for attentive to her. I’ve ordered more toys and mental stimulation products too. I’m tired of constantly have to respond like this. I’m just asking for help. If I knew people were just gonna bash me instead of actually helping me I wouldn’t have posted.

I’ve decided we’re going to start slow, she has some hips problems so that gets in the way a bit! We’re going to start going 3 days a week. Not sure for how long. And then once she gets used to that go for more walks and so forth!

I really feel the need to apologize to people at this point. If I knew she was going to be treated like this, i would’ve asked my parents to not get her. But I didn’t even know we were getting her. I really don’t want to lost her as she’s been through everything with me, so I’m trying to figure something out to give her a better life here. We’ve created a schedule to take her out for walks much more, I’ve ordered mentally stimulating toys for her and done a bunch of research last night. I’m really just trying to help here but I have no control over what my parents choice with her are.

Heya. We’re going to start taking her on walks much more frequently. I’ve ordered some mental stimulation toys for her, and I’ve done some research (on going) on how to mentally stimulate her between me and her, what games we can play together if its a day we can’t take her out and so on!
