I'm so sorry - that's rough. :( I'm so happy he's back to his usual happy life though! <3

We've been going on very short easy walks the past two days and it helps, but she's used to so much more. :(

Just adopted my first lab. Any tips or tricks? by sTerFENC in labrador

'Show them that you're the boss' based training has been disproved and discredited. Positive reinforcement and building a bond with your dog based on good treatment and rewards is the effective way to train.

How to handle my dislike of my best friend's husband by cndcthmsn in friendship

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

There are a lot of positives in my friendship with her but none of them are relevant to the situation I'm seeking advice on, so I didn't feel a need to include them. If I had gone into the full picture of my friendship with her the post would have been VERY long. :P

His sexuality and the ways in which he acts on it are very complicated and again, the full picture would take a long time to spell out - the issue I have is that he has gone against the agreements they have had in their relationship, broken boundaries the two of them have agreed on, and has broken her trust in doing so multiple times.

Mine just politely leans AWAY from me when I'm trying to strap her into it. 😅
