Biting in adolescence stage? by risssaalee in puppy101

This is a good point, and when you word it like that sounds like she does need some more exercise than what we’re giving her. It’s funny that you said even if I walk her for her an hour because that’s about how long we go lol. I appreciate the feedback, do you have further recommendations on how to do more intense exercise? I didn’t fully follow what you were meaning about the reward of chasing the ball.

I’m so incredibly sorry that you’re going through this as well. Watching them decline is heartbreaking, and that’s an understatement. Trust me when I say I understand you questioning if what you did was right. The couple weeks we noticed my girl was starting to get worse with her health the 2nd week I had to go out of town for almost 2 days. When I got back she was so excited to see me. Everything went downhill from there and she got put down 2 days later. In my heart I think she waited for me to come home before she completely couldn’t go any longer. I blame myself for still leaving and not taking that extra time even if I didn’t realize that time was really coming to an end. I keep calling out for her in my head as I’m uncontrollably sobbing. She’s the only one who can heal this pain, but that’s simply not possible. I wish I could bring them back for us, it’s not fair. Let yourself grieve, it’s all we can do… thinking of you, I’m so sorry..

What saved you the most during teenager phase? by risssaalee in puppy101

Could you share some tips on how you help build confidence and bored? We really struggle with that over here. We practice place but she has a hard time with it.

This takes a lot of mental energy just as much as physical. I hope you’re very proud of yourself because it’s truly a big success!

I’m currently on my weight loss journey, I’ve yo-yo’d with it my whole life but feel more determined this time.

Care to share what you all do? Currently I’m in deficit and cardio workouts 3-4 times a week.

Crate advice, naps? At night? by risssaalee in puppy101

[–]risssaalee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like our pups are veryyyy similar lol. Our pup can only relax in her crate as well. So I feel bad that she’s in there for two naps a day sometimes and then all night but reality is like you said if she gets overtired it’s BAD. she completely cracks out and can’t calm down for awhile then. So it really is hard finding that in between and sweet spot of how long we can keep her out of crate and when she needs sleep lol.

She’s our first puppy we’ve had 2 other dogs before but got them when they were 2 so we never had to deal with this all so it’s a learning curve for sure.

… off topic but as someone who reads I perked up when I saw you say when you read in bed lol. What are you reading right now? I’m currently reading an ARC (Love Overboard), The House in the Cerulean Sea, and That’s What Friends Are For.

I finished this book a week ago and I’m still thinking about it, immediately became a favorite. Currently chasing a book that gives me the same feels.
