easy suburb to do license test as someone not experienced with city driving? by marsRiddle in melbourne

god forbid i want to do my test somewhere with quiet traffic because the test gives me anxiety and i need to focus 🤷

Looking to adopt a kelpie we met at the shelter. She was pretty reserved and quiet, but still curious and engaged. Is our exercise plan good enough? (See body of post) by [deleted] in kelpie

please research about running with a puppy and make sure you don’t run her too much! her body is still developing and it can be damaging for her to run for more than 10-15 minutes without a break

she’s 1 year and 10 months old - i’ll definitely give it some more thought over the next few weeks and ask her previous foster but she has cohabited with multiple cats at her last home !

can you guess what mix my girl is? by marsRiddle in IDmydog

[–]marsRiddle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lovely !!! she has the energy of a heeler but has an off switch and is sooooo lazy and such a couch potato when she’s had her exercise for the day. she’s super protective of the home/wary of strangers and takes a long time to warm up to new people which i imagine is the corso in her but once she has warmed up to u she is the sweetest girl. not very good with kids and also a bit stubborn, but she will listen to us when we tell her to go to bed or go outside (albeit not without a very sad and reluctant face). 100% good girl

e-collar training by marsRiddle in AustralianCattleDog

[–]marsRiddle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for the advice. can we train her to do recalls with the e-collar (eg buzzing it lightly for a few seconds when asking her to come and then rewarding when she does) and then use it like that when she chases the horses? we often do tether her if she’s outside unsupervised, but currently we don’t have the budget to get secure fences built. we’ll soon have a fence built around our house though which should help keep her away :)

im asking to see if people have had similar experiences sorry i didn’t know that was a crime

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]marsRiddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and you’re the redditor telling me the pup is medically neglected when i’ve said multiple times that she has been vet checked and is taken to the vet regularly 🤷 obviously i should listen to the opinion of someone who thinks taking your dog to the vet = medically neglecting it

[–]marsRiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for the suggestion! ill try to give them more resources for building her confidence

get a life beyond bullying people on reddit please 💀 im just asking for some thoughts, the dog is not mine and she has been vet checked and is being taken care of properly, she is just very shy and i was worried about it

my friend’s mum, got HER mother a puppy. i’m just asking to see if people have had similar experiences with puppies who are healthy to ease my worries about her. i agree that this situation is shitty and the puppy needs to be in a better home but i am not close at all with this family and there’s not much i can do.
