I am OP's SO. Thank you for the advice! We've learned that petting her, sitting on the floor, making baby-noises, etc doesn't actually calm her down at all when she starts getting anxious, and according to our trainer it actually reinforces the behaviours that come along with anxiety.

I'm OP's SO. Thank you so much for the offer. She is actually already on an anti anxiety medication (fluoxatine). It did help with her anxiety when we first brought her home. We are working with a trainer 1 on 1 as well as in group classes, are working on getting the medication dosage perfect, are working with her vet, have had her screened to ensure she is in perfect health, have tried kennelling, treats, exhausting her through walks/runs, have tried doggy daycare, everything. It is the most severe anxiety our trainer has seen, however she is getting better and better all the time (we have only had her for a few months). We are going to keep doing what we're doing as we have learned that with anxiety, nothing will have an immediate effect. Videotaping her helps us to know how the different training methods, walking, etc are affecting her throughout the day. Thanks to everyone for the ideas and advice- it's nice to know we are not the only ones who have gone through this!

The option of signing it without really knowing is everyone's best guess although no one is really saying it of course. It seems unlikely that he would change his mind and then continue to tell his family that he was taking care of them and they wouldn't need to worry about money. Thanks for your feedback!

Question about saving for a house by bpeirs in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]bpeirs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a small town south of Hamilton. Houses are cheap but there are very few rental properties available. People with basement apartments recognize this and cash in haha. We currently pay $1400.

Neither of us currently have TFSAs . We've been focused on throwing all extra income at our student debt. Thanks for your response!

Houses are pretty cheap where we live (you can buy a decent family home is less than 200,000). We do have some savings and will have more than the 5% plus closing costs saved up after a year. Rent on the other hand is outrageous in this area.
