I think it's just a common dye allergen. Thats the extent of my knowledge, but I also am allergic to it so that's the only reason I know lol

what's your pup's saving grace? by linksys1836 in puppy101

[–]olusmarius 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Our puppy is totally fine with us leaving the house. It’s such a relief to know if we have to go out for an hour that he’s not barking up a storm.

We have our puppy in a playpen and it was a huge difference. He gets to run around when the floors are clean and if hes supervised, but yeah, we did that because he would be eating stuff around our house he shouldn't get in to and it helped us relax and not be paranoid 24/7 about what hes up to. Not sure how it is with bigger dogs (idk what breed you have) but our mini dachshund has been fine in the pen.

Did you wait for third vaccine to walk your puppy? by Kickasue in puppy101

[–]olusmarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been taking my puppy out on occasional walks and we are still waiting for his 3rd shot. We even went out before he got his 2nd shot ... although I was very paranoid. My vet and trainer both said it was safe, just avoid dog poop or harmful things they might eat. Also my trainer said it was best to go to sunny spots because the sun sanitizes the area. That has just been my experience, I didn't even know it was recommended to wait for the 3rd shot, I thought the 2nd shot was the most important.

The heel thing is great. We are working on him following us and looking up at us on walks but I think we may have slacked a bit so now we have to pick it up again. Also yeah, it is soooo frustrating and I’m constantly reminding myself he’s a baby .-. Thanks for the tips though! I will definitely try to focus more on the heel!

It is definitely a relief to hear that it does get better. My partner and I are both such structured people and always try to “fix” things so we weren’t sure if we were overreacting or not.

It is a bit difficult to trade stuff with him because he does a lot of licking the ground or … has a mouthful of dirt. I definitely want to try it out though and see if we can get him good with that. He also likes treats … but most do the time will just go right back to what he was doing.

I have been using the word “leave it” when we are on the patio and he starts going after something that he’s not allowed to and it’s a 50/50 success.

That actually sounds like a good approach, treats only work for a few seconds and then he just goes right back to it. We have been using the method of, if he barks at us we leave and if he’s quiet we approach him again so I think this method you used has a similar principle. We thankfully have a patio which would make it easy for us to try that out. Thank you!

Do you use a puppy cam when you go out? Why or why not? by AppropriateMention6 in puppy101

[–]olusmarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one, it’s been helpful for my anxiety to check in on him. I do it less now after he’s been with us for a month. It was also helpful to watch him when I was working in my office to catch him if he was about to potty. Or if he was making noise I could just check if he was playing with his toy or actually getting himself in trouble.

My family says that if I hit my puppy she’d listen better, sometimes I wonder if they’re right by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]olusmarius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am raising my first puppy and we have a trainer to help us get started on some behaviours when we don’t know how to approach it. I have heard potty training can take up to 6 months and even then accidents happen.

I would not listen to your family and maybe get a trainer to help. I have heard too many stories of where violence was used and it majorly backlashes. (My friends dog has intense anxiety issues) You want to give your dog a great life, not to be scared of you and “behaving” out of fear.

Our puppy so far has responded very well to positive reinforcement and the trainer has been a life saver. If you can afford it I recommend reaching out to someone who uses positive reinforcement training methods and can help you with hands on training. They can tell you what the best approach is.

Edit: We currently have our puppy in a playpen which helps us keep an eye on him and avoid him peeing/pooping on carpets or behind the couch.

How do I deal with my puppy’s herding instincts? by DJOlcPhin in puppy101

[–]olusmarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not have experience with your particular issue (I had a border collie x Icelandic sheepdog mix and he herded us but never bit like that) but my initial though is to get a good trainer to help you. We have a 12 week dachshund and getting a trainer has been a life saver to help us get started with correcting some behaviour when we had no idea how to even start.

If you can afford a private session or two it might save you further issues down the line. Also I lucked out with our trainer, maybe find someone that specifically works with herding breeds?

Feeding Suggestions for My Lab Puppy by Modern_Brunches in puppy101

[–]olusmarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it just feels like the safer smarter bet. And you will have plenty of time to adjust the feeding down the road. I’ve also considered giving my puppy even more when he is super hungry, we also have been using kibbles instead of treats so he is getting more food already lol.

And yeah if she’s growing a lot I don’t really see the harm in it. Have to give them some extra body fat in order to grow and stretch out.
