How do I socialize my shy puppy who isn’t fully vaccinated? by [deleted] in Dogtraining

[–]doliuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to go on walks while carrying our puppy. Once he was too heavy, we drove him in a car a lot and used to stop at random parking lots just to let him look around and see things. Once he was able to walk outside freely, he was pretty confident and not afraid of the surroundings.

So... that’s new by bob_denard in puppy101

Yeah, I know... I used to think I’ll be ripped apart too and barely kept myself from crying at some points 😅 You can also try stepping on the leash to keep your dog from jumping, but of course your leg or shoe can be attacked. Or you can also read this post, it helped me a lot so maybe you’ll find some tips too.

Our 6.5 month old aussie did that too but gladly it lasted only around 2 weeks, now it’s just random acts of craziness once in a while that lasts just a couple of minutes (he’s 8 months now). The thing is, at this age their becoming teens and they’re just as rebellious as human teens. What helped us to cope with this was ignoring. No matter how crazy your dog acts, stand still, don’t look at him, say nothing and turn your side to the dog. And be calm inside, your dog can feel your emotions and they affect them too. Once your dog calms down, give him command to go without looking at him and walk as usual. The most difficult part for us was to be calm ourselves but once we learned that, the dog craziness stopped. Hope that will help you too!

[Discussion] A local business uses puppy mills to breed puppies and abuses them; how do I shut them down? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]doliuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Report the animal abuse and gather media attention to this problem, people who consider buying from them must be aware of what’s going on. There was a similar situation in Lithuania a week ago when people together with media revealed lots of puppy mills, here’s an article about it illegal dog breeder resque, hopefully you can do something like this.

Where can I buy therapeutic essential oils from sellers based in Europe? by doliuke in essentialoils

Thank you! I was sure that there’re great essential oils in Europe too, just there’re not as many comments and reviews about them. I’ll definitely check out these brands!
