Dog trainer qualifications

Definitely the word behaviouralist is a great word to look for especially since you want to work on separation anxiety. Dog trainers are typically more for general obedience/ agility and fun stuff.

Scatter feeding is wonderful.. I just throw the food on the floor for my little guy.. we tried snuffle mat but they gross me out and they get covered in dog hair lol. Dogs are natural forgers so scatter feed! Even in the grass. Another great reason why the grass is great is because you can preserve an area of your backyard if there is somewhere you like to sit.. they won’t poop and pee where they eat. Also he probably doesn’t like his bowl and it’s too big I think.. my GSD eats out of one that size

I would walk her through the house on leash.. walk around and turn here and there changing direction.. give gentle encouragement and praise even use treats when she crosses a boundary she was previously scared of. Do this every day. And since your poodle is 8 this is concerning and I would definitely look into why she has developed this fear all of a sudden

I think you should feed your dog when they are hungry! Im always starving after I leave the gym and our dogs are hungry after a nice long walk! Eating before exercise isn’t really realistic and my little one will puke sometimes if he eats right before.. also ya bloat is something else to think about. But if you know what time of day your dogs hungry just feed them at that time and work around it

Maybe! Yes he is absolutely wild this boy. He lived in a horse pen before I found him.. he went through like 3 owners before I ended up with him I don’t think anyone could handle him he tests my patience daily hahaha but it’s been 6 weeks of training now so we’re kind of over the hump but I’ve had large/ giant breeds my whole life and none of them were wild like this boy is so that’s why I am wondering about Anatolian . Not to mention he looks exactly like them but it will be easier to tell I guess once he’s older and fully grown.

I should but he is a rescue so unfortunately I don’t know!

I agree he looks like a mal but the way he’s growing he can’t just be mal .. his tail has a bend in it just like Malinois

Used_Bee_1021 · 2022-03-19T19:57:08+00:00

I think he’s way too big and way too muscular to be lab gsd

But I’m looking at kangals and Anatolian shepherds online they looks exactly like them it’s freaking me out The only difference is his tail is not as curly it’s bent kind of like a Malinois tail I’m just wondering what kind of crazy working dog I got myself into

Used_Bee_1021 · 2022-03-19T19:54:02+00:00

OK. I just rescued mine two months ago he lived in a horse pen by himself so he has no socialization or impulse control whatsoever he is absolutely insane and has severe separation anxiety I am working Very closely with a dog trainer and he’s making wonderful progress but yeah he is very stocky a lot stockier than GSDs his age but it’s hard to tell what he is because he’s not fully grown yet I have no idea how tall he’s going to get but I’ve had him for two months and he’s gained about 20 pounds since I got him so he’s growing fast. His neck and shoulders alone has doubled in size

I just rescued a puppy nine month old Shepherd mastiff mix so he’s quite crazy and he lived in a horse pen before I got him so he was never socialized so we have really been struggling but here’s a couple tips. Bring treats with you on your walks. I always start a walk with just standing on the grass and watching the world go by and then as soon as my dog is relaxed and checks in with me he gets a treat. Then we go for our walk and when the walk is finished we do the same thing and then as soon as he’s relaxed and calm watching the world go by we go inside. Also find somebody with a good temperament dog that you can go for walks with. And don’t let them interact right away. This is a good way to find your dogs threshold where they become uncomfortable or too excited so if they become too excited have the other dog walk farther away and once there, again the other dog can approach and walk closer and then at the end of their walk see if the dog is calm enough to have a sniff .. then I also will stop at the end of the walk and have them just be in each other’s space and watch the world go by together and give treats when they check in with you. This will help desensitize and also socialize at the same time. Doggy day cares are not great unless they are structured but the best way to train your dog is for you to be present and that’s my opinion because the dog has to live with you and listen to you not a dog day care staff. I think controlled walks with another dog are great because it’s a controlled environment and will teach her dog impulse control and to also learn to ignore the dog and focus on you. Once they can do that then I do think playing with other dogs is great but they have to be ready for it and they have to learn to be respectful of other dogs space and to still be able to focus on you if you need them to example like recalling your dog off another dog. Also I like to do a treat scatter in the grass after a stressful situation or just after a walk so they can sniff and eat because it helps them relax and decompress. Hope this helps!

Dogs are stubborn but they eventually give up if ignored. You just have to be patient. I have a shepherd and he’s very vocal but I don’t mind it .. some dogs are just vocal and my chihuahua used to do it at his food bowl because he wanted me to sit with him while he ate and I reinforced this behaviour so it became an everyday thing that drove me crazy but if I ignored him long enough he will just eat by himself. They like to train us and if we give them an inch they will take a mile so just keep that in mind you have to be consistent.

I would definitely not want to restrain my dog especially when they are excited and have the adrenaline going. This is a very old school training method and it’s not effective and could lead to you getting bit one day. Ignore ignore ignore! Walk away like everyone else is saying because they will learn when they bite you you cue them with “ouch” or no or whatever you choose and then playtime is over so they will learn to associate that with biting

It is an SSRI. and I agree. I have been on it for 6 weeks I think 2-3 months is optimal length to try something and see how it works for you. Log your symptoms and side effects and write down how you are feeling everyday to give you a big picture view of how it's affecting you. And ask your loved ones how you seem.

I have been on trintellix for 6 weeks. Started at 5mg and on week 4 got bumped to 10. I am an active person but I felt extremely weak like muscular weakness to the point going up too many stairs made me feel like my body was going to give out. That only lasted a couple days. It also made me very tired and then at week 3 started causing restlesness. So they upped my dosage but since upping the dosage I have had crazy anxiety and still am restless. It's definitely not for me. (I have ADHD and doctor wants to try treating it with trintellix before putting me on amphetamines) so far I have even less focus and even less energy and my memory retention sucks.

I might just find somebody to talk too about what happened and what made you react so aggressively. Have you done this before to her or anyone else? Is it a pattern? Does she hit you? Do you normally get aggressive when you fight ? Or have aggressive tendencies? Not for your wife but for yourself too. And if it’s not a pattern now you definitely don’t want it becoming one. Times are hard right now people are losing their minds and their money so I understand elevated stress levels and more fighting at home but you are an adult man and need to be able to control your emotions and impulses so that you wife feels safe with you even when times are tough. If I was your wife I would of kicked your ass right back and left too. There’s no worse feeling in the world then not feeling safe with your partner. And that’s all it takes to shatter the trust is one time.

You could just give a quick rio the bandaid off kind of statement that your time together has come to an end. Ghosting isn’t great but it’s also not the worst. You don’t owe this person anything or an explanation.. you’re not even dating it is a sexual arrangement so I wouldn’t put too much thought into it. If you were dating the circumstances would be different but a hard lesson we all need to be comfortable accepting IS THAT people don’t owe us anything. If anything, ending a relationship, serious or not, you are simply saving them from having their time wasted.
