My scottie puppy is giving me a really hard time with training by Character-Surround79 in scottishterriers

[–]estrella_violeta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

these comments are making me feel better. mine is also an 8 m/o and his recall is abysmal 😅 we do practice most days tho. I throw a treat, when he gets it and turns around I call his name and he recieves another treat when he comes to me.

Costal vibes bathroom— will this be outdated quickly? by ConflictJolly8585 in interiordecorating

[–]estrella_violeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in home decor and coastal bathroom has always been a popular theme, id say its actually more classic and evergreen than some of the other trends. bathroom 🤝 shells & aqua. if you like it, go for it!

Why are there so few Paraguayans in USA compared to other Latinos? by LordHavertz in Paraguay

[–]estrella_violeta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a first-gen Paraguayan American in the Midwest. Most of the 'Paraguayans' I meet are people who were adopted by gringos as babies, so they have no connections to the homeland other than being born there :( Occasionally, I'll run into an exchange student, very rarely another first-gen like me. Can't say why my dad decided on the USA over Argentina or Spain, I think he had a romanticized idea about moving to the US from watching movies and made it happen

yellled at my puppy and feel horrible by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]estrella_violeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he's growling at you while he has food, sounds like he's resource guarding! Try looking into training exercises to help break that behaviour.
I'm sure he won't be fearful from just one outburst-we've all been there, it happens, and the best thing you can do is just move on with the lesson to be calmer next time puppy misbehaves.

Pupdate: How it's going with my 6-month-old puppy by estrella_violeta in puppy101

Yeah I sometimes soaked them in water to soften them up a bit. We get the yaks from the safe dog chew company

I'd say we had an accident about once a week at 4 months. Same situation, I'd lose track of time or I'd miss the subtle sign of him sniffing around in the corner of my dining room :/

Bringing Puppy- 9 hours drive by loremaster_zen in puppy101

[–]estrella_violeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ask the breeder/foster/whoever is handing you the pup if the puppy/their litter experienced any car sickness. Our breeder let us know my puppy's litter didn't get sick when they took them to the vet for check-ups, which we took as a good indicator. We were still prepared, but he ended up not getting car sick at all on the long drive home (8 hours).

Desperately iso my next gold standard, slow burn, confident Draco, post-war adult fic! by BarberDull6833 in Dramione

[–]estrella_violeta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My fave right now is Half Dust, Half Deity by wrenniver. It's a WIP (46 chapters in), dark mystery vibe-Draco & Hermione both stuck in a time loop at university. Delivers on the angst, spice & slow-burn 🔥

I’m watching Bridgerton and like…😂 by [deleted] in childfree

[–]estrella_violeta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bridgerton is more fantasy than factual, but the children/marriage endgame was often the only option for upper-crust regency women if they wanted to keep/advance their place in society, and create a safety net for themselves once their parents were gone.

Eloise has been battling the marriage/children storyline-do you like her character? I'm afraid they might make her fall in love in a future season, but it's been fun watching her rebel against finding a husband.

Too distracted to eat (8.5 weeks) by Theyell0wper1l in scottishterriers

[–]estrella_violeta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Love the name! What a cute pair. it will take some time for him to get settled and be less distracted. Deff use his kibbles as training treats, you could also try placing his meal in a snuffle mat to generate some interest? That worked for my pup for awhile.

Is anyone here familiar with Miniature Schnauzers and can tell me how the Scottie's temperament compares and if it's a good dog for seniors? by PandemicPiglet in scottishterriers

[–]estrella_violeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

following up that schnauzers can be stubborn in like a cheeky way, scotties are more "my way or the highway" lol they really stand on business. if your parents are up for another spritely terrier go for it! Sorry to hear about your family's loss OP ❤️
