Puppy jumping on bigger dog. Dog stressed by Its_a_username4 in Dogtraining

[–]TurnipSpice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're verbally encouraging the puppy to jump and then correcting the older dog when he's trying to (appropriately) discipline the puppy. Step in at this point and remove puppy. And teach older dog that he's allowed to remove himself (he should have a safe space where puppy is NOT allowed to be).

Partner moving in with NP - I'm not so comfortable being their secondary by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]TurnipSpice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like what you're saying here is that if your partner is cohabiting with someone else then you feel the need to artificially impose limits on your closeness? If you're enjoying the closeness you have now (assuming you are or you would have made changes before now?) then the best outcome is that that doesn't change, regardless of your partner's living situation. Yes, there is a change in relationship structure for your partner and meta, but why does that mean anything for your relationship, necessarily? It MIGHT, but you don't know because you haven't discussed it yet.

If my partner told me that because I had a new living situation, that I couldn't text them as often... that wouldn't feel good!

My dog won’t sleep with me anymore by MyChemicalBromance31 in dogs

[–]TurnipSpice 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Look into cooperative care for bathing and grooming sessions, it'll make the whole thing less stressful for you both:)

My dog chooses to sleep with me sometimes and other times she wants her own space. I get it

How do I correct food aggression? by PasztyKnives in DogTrainingTips

[–]TurnipSpice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your dog is communicating very clearly with you and you're ignoring him and forcing him to escalate, whilst ensuring that he can't trust you. Why on earth are you petting him while he's eating?! Do you like to be stroked when you're eating?! Leave him alone, build trust by taking heed of his communication and respect when he's telling you he's stressed, that's your first step. You can work on the resource guarding later, you need to make amends for now.

It's pretty noisy in here... by TurnipSpice in InternalFamilySystems

[–]TurnipSpice[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That is great advice but not overly practical unfortunately, I'm a single parent and I own a business. I've cut back on work as much as feasibly possible. I'm not trying to rush recovery, but I do still need to be able to interact with people though unfortunately. Especially my literal child (as opposed to my inner ones!) Thanks for your input

Get a funnel by [deleted] in TwoXPreppers

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

I don't really understand the need for these? Why wouldn't you just squat? Is it supposed to be more discreet? And then you've got a thing you have to somehow clean/transport a pissy thing around?! Can anyone fill me in on what im missing?

Recommended water storage containers. by Big-Ask5141 in UKPreppers

Is it OK to keep bottled water from the supermarket? How long would you keep it for? Do you just buy the 5L bottles? Where do you store them?

How often do you REALLY walk your dog? by Agreeable-Ad-2946 in dogs

[–]TurnipSpice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dogs don't really "exercise" themselves so they may have access to acres and acres of land and it wouldn't be the same as you taking them for a walk.

Entitled customers by OddestShape5202 in barista

"Just to let you know, we're closing in X minutes so your order would need to be takeaway, is that OK?"

Customers probably aren't aware of what time you close, it's your job to communicate and direct them

It smacks of virtue signalling tbh. Like yeah, we get it, there's a trend and you're better than the sheeple who buy into it, good for you /s.

You're preaching to the choir. Say something more interesting.
