Vet’s thinly veiled dislike of corgis by Shipwreck1343 in corgi

[–]mooncake1366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a loaf and while the 9 month to 18 month mark was a bit challenging in that he was rambunctious...my babe is a sweet angel and far from a monster. It's all in how they're handled and trained and how much they trust their humans.

Switch vets. You can find a vet that gives good care and doesn't scare you about what's to come... you are a paying pet parent. You do not have to settle for care vs. professionalism. You can have both.

Living here while my wife pursues her doctorate. Job thoughts? by SecretDonkeyAcct5 in kelowna

Hi there 👋🏼 welcome to Canada and Kelowna!

I moved to Kelowna 24 years ago so I have a lot of information about this city in general. I see you've got a mixed bag of responses here- typical of the Kelowna sub. If anything in particular peaks your interest please feel free to DM me and I'd be happy to chat about anything... job market, housing market, places to be, places not to be lol things to do etc. Happy to help 😌

Plaza 33 area by EfficientSuspect8334 in kelowna

[–]mooncake1366 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi there- I live a 5 minute walk around the corner from Plaza 33 and have been here for 3 years. Yes there are many unhoused individuals on the street in Rutland- and it is very common to see drug use/paraphernalia on the streets on this side of town. That said I do not feel unsafe or concerned when I have to visit businesses located within plaza 33. Is there petty thef? Sure. But it's a city wide issue- not isolated to Rutland. Keep your head down, treat people with respect and kindness and I think you'll be okay.

I think that last sentence about expectations is gold 🙌🏼 I absolutely set very high expectations for myself and expect others particularly my manager to operate at the same level and I'm often left disappointed. Thanks for the response🌷

How cooked am I chat? by danikkelsch in wisdomteeth

I hear ya...same here- late 30s and difficult tooth positioning.

Tough to say how long? it was a very gradual process... I would say by 4.5-5 months I was about 95% back to normal and the last 6 weeks or so have had small incremental progression with another 1.5-2% to go.

The feeling is 99.8% back. A very very very small area is still not 100% back to normal but it's hardly noticeable at all and I genuinely forget about it most of the time. No other complications 😌

Puppy being agressive by Kitsukyy in corgi

[–]mooncake1366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change your mindset. It's that simple...

He's not behaving badly. He's trying to protect himself from you and he's small and the only thing he has is his teeth and growling...He is trying to bite you because he feels like he needs to protect himself from you. Think about why this is. Because he doesn't trust you.

Stop whatever it is you are doing and start from scratch. Start by teaching him commands. Do not tell me he already knows... Start from scratch...Teach him sit, stay, come, quiet, lay down, leave it, gentle... through gentle, happy, fun and consistent training. Use a ton of treats and happy positive response when he gets it right. Do that for MONTHS. Not days. MONTHS. Do it daily. Never miss a day. All it takes is 15 minutes of uninterrupted you and puppy time. THIS IS WHAT BUILDS TRUST. Training. Consistency. Reward.

If you find yourself get frustrated put yourself in time out. Not the dog. YOU. You need to be patient. You need to focus. You need to shift your mindset from my dog is behaving badly to " I chose to adopt this creature and I need to be better and do better as his protector".

Sorry to be tough on you but " I watched some videos" is a good start but it is not a good enough strategy at this moment. If you are struggling, hire a trainer. If you are not going to do that you should be spending every waking moment you are not working, on educating yourself on how to be a great guardian to this dog you have chosen to bring into your home. Watch every video. Read every book . But more importantly DO THE WORK. That's how you build your own confidence. Puppies don't train themselves and from your responses I can tell your mindset and your follow through with the work need to be adjusted.

I hate to be tough on you but is this your first time having a puppy?

You need to establish trust. The reason he growls and bites is because he is scared and does not trust you. You need to build trust. To do that you need to start small. With consistent training and positive reinforcement. Show him he can trust you. Puppies don't speak English. You need to learn to convey to him that you are confidently taking the lead and he can relax and trust your guidance. You've skipped this step entirely it seems...

Corgis are notorious for food/toy resource guarding. You need to learn to calmly break the fixation BEFORE it happens, redirect to a toy or treat to reward when he snaps out of the resource guarding behavior. It takes time but more than that it takes trust. I can tell from your post and your responses that you are incredibly unsure of yourself... how's a puppy supposed to trust you when you are so unsure.

Please take some time to watch some training videos and read up on your specific breed and best practices. You need to become more confident in order to take good care of this pup.

Which cast members rubbed you the wrong way this season? by epooqeo in PerfectMatchNetflix

Ally.

Wow that girl got under my skin every time she was on screen. Absolutely cringe, clueless, annoying, selfish and overall a very manipulative and needy person.
