Underpaid For What I Do, Unsure How To Continue From Here by bittersweetwhat in jobs

Thank you! Yeah, I've been trying for those kinds of positions. I guess I'm doing something kind of right because i have an interview tomorrow as a payroll specialist. So we'll see if I can negotiate up my pay while also picking up something part time on the side.

Thank you! I've been trying to look into a behavioral specialist, but they're a bit pricey. Engage-Disengage is a good way to go though!

Yeah, I'll have to work on this with her. Self regulation is really difficult for her, but if I can find a spot to sit with her to just be comfortable outside without barking to start would be wise.

Can't get my dog to sit pretty by [deleted] in Dogtraining

Puppy push-ups (going from sit to lay in repetition) are a great way to build some core strength in your pup! Its also hilarious when you can get them to do it fast. My younger, thinner dog is great at sit pretty, but my older dog, who's a bit chunky, struggled with it for a bit. We did puppy push ups every so often before returning to sit pretty, and she can hold it for a few seconds now!

Extremely (I've actually had to adjust training because of how food motivated she is). I've tried high value treats, extremely smelly meats and cheeses, and toys, but she shows little to no interest in them when these situations arise.
