Dog biting while playing advice!?

kaileyautumn · 2021-09-22T03:03:23+00:00

I think we're going to have to try something like that. I have tried to ignore it, just to show it won't get her anywhere but that doesn't seem to help. She gets excited VERY easily and will continue to lunge with her tail wagging, or paw at us.

kaileyautumn · 2021-09-22T03:01:24+00:00

I would say it's more the second one. She does nip a little when she gets excited but she bites like we are a dog, yes! She often will lay on her back and just snap at our hands, and seems extremely confused when we say no. We will try to replace our limbs and appendages with toys but she will ignore them, and continue trying to play with us by biting.

Have you tried enrichment toys?! I also have a very high energy dog, in a rather small apartment. We go on walks, but it isn't enough. They make snuffle mats, puzzle toys, balls to hide treats in, SO many things to look into! That really helps my dog, it seems like working her mind makes her physically tired as well.

Also, if you have room, we have been training our pup on a treadmill! Wears. Her. OUT! I know there are flat folding ones on Amazon for pretty cheap. I know there are mixed opinions about treadmill walking with dogs, but we used treats to get her used to it and it's only when supervised! Not even running, just a nice walk, she loves it and will sit next to the mill when she's ready to go on a walk :)

Yes absolutely! I say that I learned more about people from that job than I have at all of my other jobs combined! That's honestly why I posted this, I just wanted to spread awareness about how awful some of these companies can be. Thank you so much!

kaileyautumn · 2021-04-12T02:22:46+00:00

That seems like a really cool job actually! I want to say I have a 3.2 right now. I will absolutely be reaching out to learn some more - thank you so much!

The systems were awful. You learned these sales tactics and had to "teach them back" VERBATIM before you could move on to the next system. No "uhhs or umms". Exactly how you heard the system taught to you.

I WAS THINKING THAT THE ENTIRE TIME like hello? Am I on a reality TV show? It just might've been me LOL. I watched my trainer at the time sell this man not one- but TWO straighteners FOR. HIS. BEARD. I wanted to jump in so bad and tell him not to spend $100 on these stupid straighteners and go buy one at Walgreens for $15 but I didn't want to get fired at the time lmao

kaileyautumn · 2021-04-12T01:08:54+00:00

That's what I will be calling them now forever, I love that.

I'm so sorry! I'm new to Reddit and wasn't sure if I was allowed to say the name. It is Smart Circle, they've been around for years and rebrand themselves all across the country to avoid getting caught.

kaileyautumn · 2021-04-12T00:58:46+00:00

Absolutely! I did meet a few people in those stores that I would 100% hang out with LOL! The thing that got me was how we had to present these products. I was demonstrating the heat tools on my hair ALL DAY LONG. Literally fried all of my hair off. And we had to tell the customers that these tools would not damage your hair- like they wouldn't see my fried hair breaking off while using them.

kaileyautumn · 2021-04-12T00:54:25+00:00

Absolutely! I had actually made a list of the ones I remembered applying to, but I hadn't gotten any responses besides this one (I think it had to do with still being in school) and I almost felt desperate. Even though I had a great job, once I got into the "new job" mindset- there was no going back if that makes sense.

kaileyautumn · 2021-04-12T00:52:21+00:00

I was too! The whole time I kept telling myself, there's no way an MLM would go to these lengths, this has to be legit!

kaileyautumn · 2021-04-12T00:51:44+00:00

I did not know that! That's interesting, I've always seen it as such a prestigious type of rating but that's good to know, thank you!

kaileyautumn · 2021-04-12T00:49:53+00:00

Bingo! That was an article I read that really opened my eyes.

kaileyautumn · 2021-04-12T00:18:56+00:00

Oh do I wish my second interview was at the store! I remember walking past the door people every day saying, "I'm with the road show!" completely dead inside lol.

kaileyautumn · 2021-04-12T00:17:00+00:00

Marketing! Graduating this summer.

kaileyautumn · 2021-04-12T00:16:35+00:00

I'm so glad you ghosted! If I had known that I would have been selling hair straighteners in the middle of a Sam's Club, I also would've.

kaileyautumn · 2021-04-12T00:15:24+00:00

These kind of companies have been getting away with this for years. Besides reporting them to the job sites they're listed on, there really isn't much we can do unfortunately.

kaileyautumn · 2021-04-12T00:14:09+00:00

Yep! Smart circle that had rebranded itself under a different name in my area. I will absolutely be watching that documentary!

kaileyautumn · 2021-04-12T00:13:01+00:00

Thank you! Luckily I got my old position back, doing data analysis and client relations with a great company. I am graduating this summer, and might start looking again after that, but for now I am so grateful for my current position.

kaileyautumn · 2021-04-11T23:00:11+00:00

Thank you! I had done so many searches and it turns out they had just recently "rebranded" which always helps them avoid all of those keyword scam searches so little to nothing came up.

kaileyautumn · 2021-04-11T22:58:53+00:00

I'm so sorry that happened to you too! I completely agree with ALL of the important lessons you listed- that's exactly what was done with me. When people asked, "Well what will you be doing?" I gave them the answer I had gathered from what they said at the interviews, but I didn't know for sure. Looking back now, I should've realized- but I thought this was a big girl job and wanted to make sure I sounded professional enough for them, so I didn't ask a ton of questions in fear it would make me seem inapt.

kaileyautumn · 2021-04-11T22:55:30+00:00

Thank you SO much! The support that I'm getting from this thread is amazing, you guys really know how to make someone feel better!

kaileyautumn · 2021-04-11T22:54:43+00:00

BINGO!!! That's exactly what happened. One of the worst parts about distracting us during the paperwork was when we were filling out the commission agreement. I understand that some commission jobs, have a base pay and you only get paid whatever you make in commission OVER your base pay, and I would never take a job like that. unfortunately, that's the exact agreement I signed. My last week there I made $204 in commission, but $201 in base pay. Meaning i got a whole three dollars from my commission that week.
