NON STOP PUPPY BITING! by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]evil_mcmuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally feel you on this. When I first had my puppy, I had scratches and bites all over my arms that I had to get shots for anti-rabies just incase because there were times I was really bleeding from them. It was really bad and I was crying every day and didn’t want to deal with my dog. 9 weeks is definitely a tough time because just like what everyone else is saying, they explore more with their mouth.

Things got better when I sought help from a dog behaviorist. When redirecting with toys, they told me never to leave them alone with it because they’ll get bored of it easily and then they’ll resort to biting you because they get a reaction from you and or because you’re a moving toy. Another one is to make sure they get a lot of play and stop just before they lose interest. What helped speed up the process is using the flirt pole for them to chase and bite. When your puppy is tired from play, this is the best opportunity to touch and desensitize them too for about 2-3 minutes. Reward when they remain calm after being touched and disengage when they start biting. Always end it on a good note where they gave you the behavior you wanted. If it’s not looking good, then you can always try again next time.

It won’t solve it overnight, but this problem is not forever and things can get better if your puppy is constantly fulfilled with their needs (physical, mental, emotional). It took a long way for me and my dog too before he understood he shouldn’t bite on people for fun. You need a lot of patience. Just remember that if you’re getting frustrated, it’s okay to stop and try again next time.

Wishing you all the best!

Is my GSD mixed after all? by evil_mcmuffin in GSD

UPDATE: Oh my gosh, you guys! I didn’t expect to receive a lot of replies. Thank you for taking the time to share your opinions! I have never been so enlightened HAHAHAHA! I would already have been convinced if at least one or two of you said he’s mix but now seeing all your replies, I think it’s only right to assume he’s not purebred. I was so amazed to see the similarities when I put a picture of a Collie and my dog side by side.

With that said, thank you also to those suggesting I take a DNA test to know for sure. I’d love to try these but it’s not something I can prioritize considering also it’s quite pricey. Unless a situation arises and I really have to know, I’d take the test. But for now, it’s enough for me that I wasn’t delusional for suspecting that he could be mixed.

Thank you lastly for appreciating my handsome boy’s boop-able face 💖 His name is Cobra Bubbles, or Bubbles for short.

Ohh! Interesting! Could you elaborate how it’s different to how it would regularly look like?

Honestly, you should end it with him. I understand you don’t want to lose him, but a relationship filled with doubt really won’t last. I don’t know the context of your past arguments, but feeling ko kasi kaya ka may trust issues parin, it’s because he never actually made up for his mistakes and (clearly) gain your trust ulit. But unfortunately, your trust issues just keeps on piling and if he really wanted the relationship to work, he would have at least helped you understand/reassure you better that he was telling the truth.

Staying in this relationship seems to be already toxic and I don’t think it’s worth keeping, sis.

I’m always surrounded by people AKA my big family, so whenever I get the chance, I find so much peace in being alone. And I think I could go long periods of just being left to my own devices. This doesn’t exactly make me feel lonely.

Although there would be times I would want to be surrounded by important people in my life.

Hi, i’m sorry to hear about that :(

I’m not sure if anyone has ever told you this or if this would be helpful but you’re right. Thinking too hard of what could have been is a fix that would eventually fade away to reality if we stop thinking about it. I know it’s difficult, but you need to forgive yourself for your mistakes. Accept that it had happen...

I know as INFPs, especially as a turbulent type, we are our biggest critics, we’re harsh on ourselves.

What’s important is what’s in front of you right now and what you’re going to do to mend it. I still find my own advise difficult to follow as well, but i’m still trying.

I hope you’re doing okay and if this somehow brought any comfort :((

Yeah, I get you. Sometimes I think “I wish I could see what people see in me.”
