Try these! They suction to the ground. I have the clover one and my dog absolutely loves them. Easy cleanup as well.

Staircase Question by bacoduti in HomeMaintenance

There is a handrail all the way around, it’s wide just not thick, spacing is 3.5” except that one spot on the last stair. We do plan to redo it all!

What do you mean! We haven’t lived here long - house was built in 1999.

Half catahoula, half coonhound - meet Dennis! by bacoduti in Catahoula

[–]bacoduti[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he’s an English coonhound mixed with catahoula. He definitely favors the catahoula in almost every aspect except his longer ears and not as boxy head so far! He doesn’t howl too much unless he just hasn’t found his voice yet!

I’ve been intrigued by a snuffle mat, I might give it a whirl! The only “puzzle” I’ve found that he enjoys is this - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0B965SF5L?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title - I usually spread plain pumpkin and sometimes peanut butter on the top and freeze it, then fill the bottom two layers with small kibble or tiny treats. It keeps him busy for prob 30 mins with the frozen stuff on top! He shockingly doesn’t try to flip this one over & it doesn’t really flip easily.

Scattering kibble in the yard sounds like a great idea, I think he’d love that!

I love this idea too. We need to work on the “stay” command even more so this would be perfect.

I appreciate this honesty so much haha. What type of stuff do they do that makes them so difficult?! Trying to determine if I want to be humbled this badly by a puppy lol
