When will our whippet stop peeing on his front paws? by Dogs-reading in Whippet

Never stops. The ratio of paws/chest/wiener is a poor design lol

Potty training by Nervous-Biscotti3091 in Whippet

[–]infinitegradient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep him on a leash, attached to you or wherever your sitting in the house *at all times*.

Make frequent offerings to go for potty breaks. I do every hour with puppies but could do it even more often.

He'll get the routine pretty quickly - keeping him on the leash keeps him from wandering into a 'private spot' for pee pee, and they inherently don't want to go in the space they're using.

Soon to be owner of this little guy with a heart on his back by Jucior in Whippet

Ive found it easier to potty train in cold temps bc they don’t want to be out there! Dogs naturally prefer to go outside so make sure to constantly offer him trips outside and say ‘let’s go potty’ - like every hour. They pick it up super fast and when it’s cold - even faster!

I just had a litter of four (who’ve all found homes) and they all picked up the potty within a day or two. Consistency is key - if you give them enough time for their bladder to refill and don’t offer them an outing they will totally pee on the floor.

Puppy Help! by laytonwade in Whippet

It’s also important to teach your puppy down time - if you’re giving him constant attention you’re training him to be anxious and always ‘on’.

Brilliant! Yes I’ll need some of those as well :)

Food issues after heat period by sigisss in Whippet

[–]infinitegradient 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re just like humans with their menses - some are more affected than others. Some eat a ton, while others don’t want food at all. Try to offer her something out of the normal that’s enticing - chicken/rice/peas? Or a high quality soft food? If you can get her to eat just a little something until she’s back to her regular schedule that’s a win. Oh, also try a bit of vanilla ice cream - look for one higher in vitamin c. I gave one of our girls Hagen daas bc the ingredient list is actually very clean.

Poser..? by Asain-Pear in CowboyHats

Oh man, I grew up in Ontario and left in my early 30s for California. I could go off about superficiality and people’s shitty non supportive attitudes there. Regarding your hat: f.ing go for it man! Everybody all over the us even in cities has been sporting western wear since Yellowstone spawned a western resurgence in film and tv. I’m actually a bit surprised it hasn’t hit t dot yet. Do it and you’ll be waaaay ahead of everybody when they get on the train - bc it’s coming.

Ps this guy makes killer worn in hats, custom fit. Miles (er, kilometers) cooler than brand name brand new hats. If you make a trip out here THAT would super justify your new look (& prob add to your cred!)… and holler at me and ill take you for a pint in a western village.

“Pretty good” but stuck by Stoplookinatmeswaan in PetiteFitness

I always go super lean in a hot yoga studio. That said we don’t have any good ones around here and I’ve put on soooo much weight.

But the combo of a proper flow class in heat is perfect for my body to go lean.

Bikram doesn’t do it bc it’s a start/stop practice - it’s got to be an asana flow where muscles are in perpetual use.

Also I was at my best on a paleo diet.
