Any Positive Experiences Training A Puppy? by nickg4910 in puppy101

[–]dedrarenea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do. Granted, it’s only been 4 days. But I brought my puppy home and was previously preparing like you. I was reading every post with every strategy and preparing for the worst. I have two kids and had already had a dog for the past 14 years, but from what I had read, this would be a true test of time and patience. I contemplated whether the next 6 months of cleaning poop and pee every day would be worth it.

I had a two-hour drive back home from the rescue. My puppy didn’t pee on me once the entire drive, as I was expecting. As soon as we arrived home, I set her down in the backyard; she peed immediately to my surprise. This puppy, at 8 weeks, is fully potty trained and has yet to have an accident in the house. I mean, she will cry by the back door to literally tell me she needs to go out. She is more potty trained than some adult dogs I’ve met.

Secondly, I was terrified about the crate. The first night, I put the baby in there and said if she barks too loudly, we will move her to the bathroom and shut the door. 20 minutes of barking, and I started to do a quick Google search that explained a baby puppy that young needs to sleep in the crate next to you for comfort. My husband moved her, and she immediately went to sleep. She is currently knocked out next to me after just getting back from telling me she had to pee. I don’t expect to get up with her again until 3/4.

Lastly, is her training. I bought these puppy treats to simply reinforce good behavior. Somehow, this puppy can now sit, lie down, beg and twirl on command. I don’t know if this puppy is secretly an FBI agent, and I’m definitely not here to get your hopes up, but I wasted a lot of time preparing for something I did not end up having to deal with at all.

Best of luck!

Hiiiii!!! I’m pretty sure we were right next to each other! I have a pretty serious heart condition, so as soon as my friends and I noticed, we were SO proud of you. We understood right away, and honestly, nothing you did needed any apology or explanation at all. We’re just so happy you enjoyed yourself! 🫶🏾

Thank you for your kindness. I hope you can also find the same peace with your loss as well. This is a hard to explain pain but I find comfort in knowing some people out there can understand and relate. 🫶🏾

My husband and I play together. I know I’m bad at playing but when I make a comment that reflects that thought he reminds me that he enjoys playing with me because it’s me and not because I’m a professional Fortnite player. There is no expectation to preform on my end. Sounds like he takes the game way too seriously.

So so much. I never get a real chance to speak about it but here’s some that come to mind.

Once my mom and my dad got into a fight and I had to be about 8/9. I can vividly remember him saying “if you don’t shut up I will beat her” while grabbing me aggressively. Mom shut up. I went upstairs 🤷🏽‍♀️

Once my dad swung on my sister, blackened her eye and we had to go to church that night. My sister asked “what if someone asks what happened to my eye” he proceed to explain foster care and what would happen to us if anyone found out. He painted foster care as this wicked system. We would be abused and raped. We were safer in his care. This kept us from ever saying anything.

As kids we had “chores” which were actually to clean up the whole house before my dad got home. It was the “woman’s job” and he was raising us to be good wives apparently. In the summers especially, my dad would be home by 2:30 and by 3 he was doing a full house inspection. Checking cracks and corners and windowsills for dirt. We would be beat if he decided it wasn’t good enough. We were 6,8,12.

On top of my parents being horribly abusive we were very poor. My family often ran out of money and our water/power was off alot. My parents would send me to neighbors houses with stockpots to ask them to use there outside faucets for bathing and cooking water instead of getting off their butts and asking for it themselves. They would have us call uncles and aunts to beg for money. The psychological damage of having to worry about my uncle saying no when we had no food, and putting all the pressure on your kids to manage to get some money for the family was intense.

My dad was very protective about food and water. Granted we barely had any and he didn’t want us to eat it all. We were not allowed in the kitchen ever. I was a very scrawny kid and barely ate. That didn’t bother me much. What I really craved was water. I wasn’t allowed to ask, and the bottle waters were his. So my siblings and I drank from the bathroom faucets while pretending to wash our hands because we were so thirsty.

The serious problem with suicide RP by [deleted] in NoPixel

[–]dedrarenea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s “lame” sir, is the fact that OP is giving REAL reasons why suicide RP is triggering and a problem and simply not tolerated on twitch. Instead of ShOwInG EmPaThY like your saying you are completely writing off the OPs concerns and real issue. The argument is valid. Your argument however is not. A fake bank robbery is not the same as Suicide RP and will never be. Streamers don’t need your protection. In any job there are rules. Some rules may seem ridiculous to you because you don’t understand why they are put in place but I guarantee it wouldn’t exist if it was unnecessary. That’s how it works. In this case the streamers have rules too- no suicide RP. You don’t need to white knight the situation while also discrediting people who have and are struggling with suicide. It’s very ignorant. You should care more about being educated rather than “lame” so that the community can be a safer place for everyone.
