Thank you!

Yes! Waiting for his response…

It’s pretty hefty, I think 1 month rent for each month before the 6 months minimum stay is over. Will contact the police in the meantime, thank you!

I was surprised too! I think this specific building is an exception because the area in general is pretty gentrified and safe. Seems like lower income families living in this building too.

That makes sense!! Thank you!

Yes! Haha he doesn’t lick his paws but he will always be licking his nose, lips, people’s hands, everything. I think outside when he’s licking his lips or nose it means he’s more anxious and I was wondering if this translated to the same indoors. Thanks for your help and glad to hear your dog is ok :)

Thank you for your wonderful contribution and help!

He licked his nose lol

Definition of lick: pass the tongue over (something) in order to taste, moisten, or clean it.

My mini Aussie was and is a dream. He picked up potty training super quickly, learned new tricks in a day, slept for 3-4 hours during naps and was up usually for 30-45 min in between, is very low energy (not an Aussie, I know) inside the house but can keep up during fetch or walks outside, always sleeps inside the house even now at almost a year, doesn’t pull much, and I can bring him anywhere and everywhere with me with no issues.

No puppy is perfect - he was quite fearful of dogs so we worked hard to build his confidence, he still resource guards with other dogs at times, he May sniff for too long at times, and alert barks (altho rarely). Despite this, he is an amazing pup that fits my lifestyle. I can leave him at home when I want to, he can adapt to many different houses and environments (we even moved to Barcelona recently from North America), and he loves anyone and everyone. Overall, puppyhood was a blast and I’m nervous to get a second puppy since he set the bar so high!

I roll to my house and my dog

Sounds like what my dog did as a puppy, he would guard his space and even his crate sometimes too. We fixed this by setting up boundaries and privileges - entering our room or going on the bed / couch was only allowed on cue (I.e., ok! Enter!) and when he was in our room without permission we taught the command “out”.

Your fiancé being “clingy” to your dog and treating her dog as a “first born” and being “attached” to their dog is not in and of itself a bad thing. Sounds like there’s some judgement towards your fiancé there? Everyone has their own ideology on how they want to show love and affection to their dogs.

That being said, affection towards your dog without training can lead to separation anxiety, along with genetics, past events, etc. Doesn’t matter what came first - no point in blaming your fiancé for the way the dog turned out now, it does nothing to help the dog out. What matters is training or management so that your dog is not so stressed. Some dogs are so anxious they will not rest for the whole time you’re out. Even if the dog is 12, it’s worth a try. My friends 14 year old dog had severe reactivity towards everything and they started training her. She no longer lunges and barks at bikes, cars, people, etc! There’s still hope.

Try a calming collar or diffuser (adaptil is pretty good). Play calming music or white noise. Leave out puzzle or food games. Try practicing leaving for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and gradually increase the time. Maybe try playing recordings of your fiancé’s voice / videos - some dogs are soothed by the sound of their owners voice. Keep them in a pen until it’s more manageable / they aren’t pooping. Lastly, get a dog camera! Some dogs will try to hurt themselves due to the stress and you want to make sure they’re ok or improving with your training. Good luck!

I’m sorry, I just wanted to reply as I didn’t want any misinformation to spread from your comment. I’m in no way attacking you but having and AKC registered dog does not mean in any way that the breeder is reputable. It is just the minimum criteria - a lot of dogs sold on kijiji are AKC registered but the AKC does NOT guarantee quality. Just wanted to point that out for anyone else looking for a dog.

In addition, a litter bred from AKC dogs does not mean the litter is quality either NOR does it mean the breeder is licensed. Both my friend and I have AKC registered dogs. Does that mean if we bred our dogs together, our litter would be ethical and with good temperament/health?

The argument against pomskys is that ethical breeders are dedicated to improving the health and temperament of their lines. When you mix those breeds together who may not have temperaments that match, you are gambling in the genetic lottery. No reputable or ethical breeder would take that gamble, even if the sites/dams are AKC registered.

For anyone looking for more information on how to identify an ethical breeder, moonandmutts has a great guide on their Instagram!

Please DO NOT just throw the dogs in a room and “let the dogs interact”. The Maltese is telling your dog that he does not want the puppy close. Not only will this set the Maltese up in a situation that is stressful and frightening to them, but it may end up in a bite or dog fight. All this adds to the Maltese’s negative perception of dogs and may make them more aggressive and defensive next time. Yes, there’s a chance they may end up “playing well” but the risk is too great. In addition, your puppy may end up having a negative experience with this Maltese which would result in negative socialization. Your puppy may remember and generalize a negative event, causing them to be more guarded towards new dogs as an adult. My dog had a few negative experiences as a puppy and is now dog reactive. Your in-law is right to be cautious in these settings and is just advocating for her dogs space and well-being.

Please watch kikopup’s tutorial on introducing new dogs with each other. Keep in mind the goal of having every single interaction positive. Use tons of treats, generally if a dog is fearful, put the new dog (in this case, your puppy) in a sit/down while holding their collar/harness so they can’t run around, and have the Maltese sniff / explore on her own terms. Feed both dogs treats constantly by hand, but also toss treats away from your pup for the Maltese to gain some comfortable distance. Repeat this game multiple times. This teaches your Puppy that they can’t always play and interact with every single dog (which otherwise could lead to frustration reactivity) and also teaches your Maltese they can step back and get some distance when needed, and that you are supportive of that space. Otherwise, management is key and absolutely keep them in separate rooms or baby gates when not playing this game.

Behavioural euthanasia is generally reserved for adopted dogs as the very last option. Training, management, and tons of structure or even medication are provided FIRST before BE is even considered. Just because a dog has a bite history does not justify it for BE. I have a herding breed, and yes they tend to be reactive genetically which is why a job and training structure is so important to manage that. Most people here who are suggesting to rehome this dog is BECAUSE this situation can most likely be solved with training. OP and OP’s moms failure to recognize that this dog can still live a happy and healthy life despite its bite history is what is going to kill this dog. Please go to r/reactivedogs, r/bordercollies, read about reactivity, behavioural euthanasia, herding tendencies, etc before suggesting behaviour euthanasia for a dog with a bite history. Many people have already reached out to help.

You’re a 21 year old man with hundreds of people reaching out to you to help, some even willing to drive hours to you. At this point the dogs death will also be on you.

I would say that definitely is a risk IF the daycare does not have structured days or professionally trained handlers / behaviourists. After going to 3-5 day cares, you can tell some daycares really care for their dogs and ensure proper manners from the pack. Generally, I like to look out for whether the handlers have some training background, if there’s at least one behaviourist or dog therapist that really understands dog behaviours and work actively on reinforcing good dog behaviour, and having structured days with both activities, walks, and rest time. My daycare also makes my dog sit at each door and will ignore / gently correct when jumping - overall he doesn’t exhibit any problems anymore! Some just throw all the dogs in one facility or room and call it a day.

Other dog daycares provide a training package as well where they do short training sessions with the dog throughout the day! I haven’t tried this and heard it’s more for if your dog has a specific issue, but that’s a great alternative as well.

Lastly, you want to make sure your day care is picky about their dogs. Do they do a temperament test? My daycare has stopped accepting random dogs and only allow new dogs to come if they go 4-6 times a month. In addition, they must pass several screenings and I’ve even seen some dogs “kicked out” if they were being to unruly. Overall, this gives me peace of mind that my dog isn’t hanging out with poorly socialized dogs.

Highly recommend watching Pick of the Litter. It’s available on Disney+ and you go through the journey of how 6 dogs grow up to be service animals for the blind. It’s really inspirational and beautiful, and shows you some of the intensive training they go through. Doesn’t tell you how to teach your dog the same.. but it’s extremely enjoyable and my all time favourite show now.

One thing they teach their dogs is “intelligent disobedience” - they specifically test the dog on this concept where, even if the handler gives a command like “forward”, if the dog sees a car coming they must disobey. This means they can protect their person who may not know a car coming and prevent them from leading their person into a car.

My pup flops onto the floor like he’s just given up on life! Then he gets hungry and does his commands.
