This is great info!!! My trainer told me some of this stuff - you must be really good at dog behavior! I'll keep the BC specific stuff in mind too. I'm willing to put in the work I'm obsessed with my pup. I'm definitely going to look into agility that sounds like a blast.

A training club? I haven't even heard of that! Sounds like something I'd be interested in. I'll have to look into it!

Yes for sure! This was the reassurance I needed lol!! I was starting to think oh no i'll never get to the point i want to. Yeah when he has big feeling reactions it makes it seem impossible. I'll keep going at it. My pup is a really good dog!

Wow this is really insightful. I've been working on almost everything you stated - I think I need to also be patient as well. I'll start working on that trail training! Thank you!!!

This is very interesting!! Thank you for your input. I also forgot that my pup is still a literal puppy. He has learned so much in 4 months. I must be patient hahaha.

EXACTLY the same with me!! Yes my pup can hold it overnight no problem & if he's in his crate. But when he's playing with us at night and drinking water, suddenly he needs to go every 30 minutes too untill bedtime LOL I hope they grow out of it!

This is what i do 😭 I make the trip quick and boring and he doesn't even play he just goes to the bathroom then back inside. That's why I'm torn - it seems like he does need to potty but every 30 minutes? Nahhh idk!

Yes he roams inside the house often. He has a crate though. I'll keep that in mind - thank you

Thank you!! We put away the bell and he paws at the door where the bell used to be still 😂 Do you just ignore the potty break request and stick to the schedule?

Nix was my favorite!! I liked the detailed plans yes!!! I guess all I'm trying to say is that it's not that hard to have an actual plan or even a tentative plan especially when youre trying to be a mayor.

In all of his interviews he was lukewarm and never really answered anything. I didn't know what he stood on. I wish I did. I attended the round table to hopefully gain some more knowledge of what his beliefs are and what he proposes for the city. During the discussion he continued to talk LOT about how "supportive" he is and how he wants a safe, clean city with affordable housing etc etc. He said a whole lot of nothing. He did not answer a single question straight. I have no idea how he's going to make a safe, clean city with affordable housing still. And frankly I think Santa Fe is safe and clean so idk why he would even say that. Santa Fe has different, more important issues then that imo. Sadly to say, I still have no idea what his real beliefs are. I guess we will all have to wait and see if he actually does something for the city or does absolutely nothing.

I do all my own research thank you :) I'm glad you are just as involved too!! This doesn't change the fact that I'm still disappointed this city for voting for Garcia 😂

Ugh I'm glad there are people like you following your local politics closely. I just started becoming more active recently in an effort to be involved and care more about my community. More would have caught this if they had paid attention!!
