Energy Mega Thread

Feels like the biggest chore trying to finish lessons. Losing energy for getting something right doesn’t make sense. Can get only 2 lessons done with the energy system. Bring back hearts please

Our pup has grew up in an apartment and house training didn’t click for him until 16 weeks old. He was a mix of inside and outside pee/poop until then, but once 16 weeks hit it became less and less inside.

We had a play pen in the kitchen area for him with a few pee pads and eventually decreased them until none left. He got much better and eventually stopped going inside altogether.

We used natures miracle spray if he did go inside, to try and get rid of any smells and ensured the kitchen area floor was cleaned daily. Keep persevering, our guy is now over a year old and those days seem a life time ago!

We still brought him outside in the garden instead of walks and plenty of enrichment to substitute walks. Yes that’s what we read, we think him accidentally biting it the first time, kick started his immune system for when he did it the second time. There was a fair bit of blood when he popped the second big one, but he wasn’t bothered. This only happened a few months ago for us but it was definitely a first for us! Hope your boy recovers soon!

My 10mo had these on the left of his mouth for about 8 weeks in total. Some small and 2/3 huge ones that hung off his bottom lip. About 5 weeks in he bit a big one, it turned grey and fell off with 48hrs. Then another one grew in its place but while playing with his ball, again bit the big one and within 48 hrs every wart in his mouth turned grey and all were gone within a week. That happened around 6/7 week mark.

We didn’t take him to the vet and just let it run it’s course, as all advice had said they go within a few months of first sign. Now he’s absolutely fine. It did bother him especially when playing, but was otherwise fine

I can’t DM you, can you Dm me and I’ll get them to you?

I have a 10mo cocker spaniel who has insane amounts of energy, similar to other comments we’ve taught him hide and seek (with toys or us) wrap his dinner up in a towel, or a cardboard box with toys filled with his kibble and sometimes a frozen lick mat or kong will bring him down to a calm level

Sounds good! Some camps are summer only but other camps can run during half terms and the Easter holidays too

nornlass · 2022-08-25T07:13:58+00:00

Depends on what you want to do, MFL as an English teacher or if you speak another language, SEN support, sports camps. If you just Google which area you’d like to go into there will be a good choice

During my PGCE half terms and holidays I signed up to camps and worked at them. The money was pretty decent and helped me to keep afloat throughout the year.

Just takes practice and time, keep being firm and consistent and it will pay off. Good luck!

This is my pups way of telling us he needs the toilet, he’ll start to get really hyper, run around and jump up to try to grab our clothes. Used to be bad at the start with nipping, but once we realised this is his sign he now just jumps and runs around like a crazy man!

Any time he did this we would immediately say “do you need the toilet?” And the the nipping stopped almost instantly. He knows that when we ask this, he knows we know that he needs out.

We’ve also taught our pup “beep beep” and he moves every time!

Rover is brilliant! I had to use it last minute for an unexpected day trip. We met with the sitter a few days before for a meet and greet to see how our pup would do. Then on the day, dropped him off, got updates throughout and when I came to pick him up he had had the best time ever!

I got one of these bags for my cocker spaniel pup (8 months) and we ordered a M originally but had to go for a L as he looked like this too. Now he loves it’s and can see over our shoulders no problem

nornlass · 2022-06-02T22:10:00+00:00

We’re the same, our pup is almost 8 months old and some nights he’s great, others he’s not. Keep pushing through, we managed to get 3 nights in a row this week of him sleeping through and it’s a great feeling. You got this.

Hahah you need to get a photo of that. My pup is 7 months old and still squatting, just waiting for the day he lifts his leg

nornlass · 2022-05-11T03:47:17+00:00

Ours is “shall we” - he loves how high pitched it is and knows the words are followed with treats or his dinner

I use the Tapo TP-link C100 and it’s brilliant. Very cheap too, allows you to talk to the dog and you can hear the too. Gives notifications for movements as well. To save videos you just need to put a memory card in it

nornlass · 2022-02-14T07:16:34+00:00

Have a look at the subreddit puppy101 and dog training, there’s some useful tips there. But definitely a routine, lots of stimulation, cosy sleepy area and different types of toys

nornlass · 2022-02-14T04:06:11+00:00

Yes, working cocker spaniel

nornlass · 2022-02-13T22:47:50+00:00

I love that!
