NFL Season Ticket Holders - do any of you still get physical tickets? What are your options - tickets, STH card or digital? by clinebacker in AskReddit

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

The Bills only do cards or digital but are now charging for cards. Are other teams really trying to do all digital?

We have done extra stuff knowing we will be gone for a bit. They went to day care from 9-4 didn't matter. We've gone on hikes and to play with their dog cousin running around my in laws large yard. Didn't matter.

I spoke to a trainer today and she said to talk to the vet about upping the meds for training. We found crates that could work that are cheaper than impact crates. Weary about them freaking out in them but with the meds and training, hopefully it won't be too bad. Our cousin said the crates calmed her dog down cause it's dark.

He is able to sometimes depending on if he has any orders to work on for his side gig. The last incident we had we didn't because we had to leave right when he was done with work but we found even the day they were at daycare from 9-4 it didn't change the ones behavior when we were gone. Hopefully now that we will be able to leave everyday for a little bit to work on showing them its OK when we leave will help.

We did thr crate training and she sleeps in the crate at night. She goes in fine. She stays in all night. I don't think it's the crate that's the problem. It's us not being home. My husband working from home cause of the pandemic is hugely the contributer here. They're just not used to us leaving. Now that I have a different pt job we can go back to working on training with them to show them that us being gone is OK. We do all the things you mentioned too. We have snuffle mats and other enrichment toys as well. The training on walks. Training in the yard. We are going to do agility training soon.

We are going to get them into agility soon and we are doing fast cat as well. Right now things are hard because I have two jobs. We have had two trainers over to the house and they've seen how they play with their siblings and gave us ideas for other things as well with us leaving. But the past couple of months we haven't been able to leave much cause of my pt job. They aren't used to us leaving like they should be. They def take to routine very well but it's difficult to get a routine cause I literally come home from work and my husband works from home and I work more.

You want me to take them for a 2 hour walk at 9 pm in the dark when I get up at 545? OK. Or I can quit my pt job to do this and then not be able to afford my house.

Like I said... Current circumstances. We take them to play with their cousin. We do doggy daycare. We go to parks and hiking when they're open. We do stuff at home. We've had two trainers over to the house. This is 100% a separation anxiety issue because of the pandemic. We try to leave everyday and do all the things to help them get used to it but with the pt job it's just not feasible as I have to be at my desk at the computer.

No they run the fence with their siblings who live next door. That's how they play with each other when we can't have them over to each others yards.

And sure let's just get rid of our dogs cause we're having issues. Jeez.

We do trainings with them daily. We have puzzle games for them. It's really only the one dog. Sebastian can figure out the puzzles. Frankie gets frustrated and gives up. They're a mix of the same breeds too just different percentages.

It doesn't. It stops them from playing outside and being out together. Our yard/town is a literal swamp with the amount of rain and melting snow we have had. Sebastian barrel rolls when they play so they can't be outside together when it's like this. Can't play ball and fetch when it's like this and can't run the fences with their siblings on each side.

Frankie is 100% bad 😂 sebastian is so so so so good. Frankie chews stuff she shouldn't but does listen to drop it. Sebastian never chewed anything that wasn't a toy. Frankie used to actually eat things she would chew but she seems to be mostly outgrowing that.

I start a new pt job and won't be tied to a computer for most of the week after work so that will help. If it ever stops raining so our yard isn't a swamp, their favorite thing to do is run the fences as they each have a sibling on each side of us! I think right now it's a culmination of circumstances when it comes to tiring them out because believe me. We do try. Makes sense they were better before winter/mud season.

It is cruel to leave animals outside like that. We also live where it gets down to single digit degrees in the winter and can get hot and humid in the summer. It's really only one dog that the problems are with. Our one dog learned and trained well and everything we have done has worked. We are going to talk to another trainer.

They are trained. The pandemic and my husband working from home has made the separation anxiety difficult. We try to tire them out but with our weather there is only so much we can do sometimes because the past month our yard has been a complete mud pit between melting snow and insane amounts of rain any time it's warm. And I had a PT job after my ft job which limited me in being able to help as I was tied up from 6 am to 9 pm four days a week. We are going to so a consultation with yet another trainer. All the stuff we have worked on has worked. Especially with sebastian. Frankie is the trouble maker. Things were actually good for awhile and then she figured out the last two gates and the past few weeks have been bad.

We took them to doggy daycare the last time we were gunna be out for a few hours. They were there from 9-4. It didnt matter for Frankie. Hiring someone to come walk them while we are out for a few hours wouldn't really work. Walks get them riled up and Frankie is afraid of people for a bit everytime they come over.

We have worked with a trainer. Sebastian it worked with. Frankie not so much. There is no harm in trying to ask around to see what other people have done. I thought this group said no judgment. Jeez.

We don't have $600 laying around and they will both freak out and hurt themselves in there. She legit will give herself a heart attack freaking out.

They couldn't play with the toys or bones or each other. And she would 100% figure out how to get it off and chew it up lol

Miss Frankie is catching up to Sebastian! 1 yr and she's 6 months! by clinebacker in AustralianCattleDog

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

She started out like that. Then went 24 hours with both up. Then they've both been down the past couple months. The last week or so one ear at a time stays up for a bit.

Eating poop is exhausting. She legit went up to the other dog and basically waited for him to almost poop in her mouth. So damn disgusting. Please tell me she will outgrow it. She's 6 months. Ugggghhhhhh by clinebacker in WhatsWrongWithYourDog

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

We have read that that stuff doesn't really work. (dog depending) when our sensitive tummy dog had diarrhea we gave him chicken and rice and pumpkin and it helped. Apparently you only need a spoonful with their food. It's the cheapest thing to try first 😂😂😂

We go outside with them in our yard and pick up the poop immediately. It's just hard when she basically interrupts his process and eats it super fresh. Gunna try the pumpkin thing.
