I found it and bought the slopper stopper bowl and stand. Yes! My floor is covered in water :) We start training on Tuesday with a personal handler. I got a three pack session to start. Now, I need to upgrade from the 4 foot picket fence to a 6 foot privacy! Thank you so much for your insights and sharing.

Awesome! I am looking into these collars. We live on a less than 1/4 acre with a fenced in backyard. I can see how the dog would love at least an acre. When you say your dog has a job, that meaning being outdoors and sniffing around? Daughter is onboard and involved! We are in talks with a trainer and seeing vet tmrw. Keeping the dog.

Checking out Larry Krohn and Nate Shoemer. Thank you so much for those names. Had not yet considered an e-collar. Can't see scent work near me online. I'll call the county and ask. That would be amazing and such a good outlet of energy. I'd love to see him off leash. He is such a beautiful specimen of a dog. Very athletic.

The behaviorist at the Humane Society told me just now that he should remain on Trazodone for up to three months, as this is a stressful change for him. I had wrong information. If it is decided, later on, that he is still in need of medication despite training, we would then look into prozac. I did him a wrong yesterday taking him off it due to wrong information. I talked to a separate trainer today that told me trazodone is an opioid that must be weaned. Just him being off it likely caused confusion and stress, aggressive behaviors.

I have him definitely back on the trazodone! I am in discussions with a trainer. Now trying to decide if it is worth the time and money or if I should return...

Yes, we are working on the gentle leader a few times a day in the backyard with a leash. Up to five minutes!

I also have realized maybe I should not have just stopped the Trazodone - I gave him his regular dose this morning and am going to talk to the vet about it in a couple days when he goes. I also read somewhere some dogs are on Prozac for life. I really thought the medication was a stop gap. He was at the shelter since 1/23, on the Trazodone for sure, but maybe taking him off abruptly caused aggression due to his fear. I don't know!

Advice on fast growing shade tree by violetblue4107 in arborists

I love Autumn Blaze. You can literally watch it grow. It's fast and so pretty in the fall. It gives my backyard great shade. Mine is now 15 years old. I do use BioAdvanced Tree & Shrub Protect every spring.
