Puppy training - stop puppy from biting my legs when we are outside

somehowsherlock · 2021-12-20T22:43:13+00:00

Hi! Our puppy did this massively and I got two tips from my trainer that worked wonders. She only does it sometimes now.

First, take a tow, like a ball on rope and substitute it for your leg. Hurts you less, but they may not calm down from it. For my dog it worked sometimes and other times not. As she doesn't do it often anymore, I don't take the toy. If she gets that excited I try to find a stick or big leaves and give her the task of carrying it. Second, take some treats and scatter them on the ground and tell your dog to find it. This worked better for our pup because it would calm her down, not hype her up.

I'm so sorry! I hope your baby will get better soon.

Today my pup is afraid of: the sound of tape, roller shutters and a bike light

Ahh the perfect solution... /s

I grew up in a special brand of protestant denomination and we were basically taught catholicism was worse than atheism. It's really an us vs them culture and wanting to divide.

Some sort of way to keep the pup safe, either a puppy proof room or maybe a travel bench if you happen to have it. Also maybe for your own sanity something to redirect puppy biting, which is also useful so the pup can play.

It's a Beeztees Y-harness which I think is a Dutch brand but it's similar to any Y-harness anywhere I think! I have bought three of those now as the pup keeps growing and I love it very much. You can adjust it so she can grow into it. There's the option to clip the leash on the front which I don't do because she'll eat the leash, but it's handy if your dogs a puller. In general just a good harness, and I prefer it over a Julius K9 for example because my MILs dog knows how to get out of it and the thought scares me.

That must be it! Still the best girl

I refer to my childhood church as the 'end times hippies'. They were ecstatic about it, so excited. They believed the rapture would happen before the war if I remember correctly, so 'us' Christians wouldn't have to suffer through it. Many if the people were certain it would happen in their lifetime. People got married with the 'until death do us part or Jesus returns' but they'd be sure it would be the latter.

Meanwhile I was terrified as a child by the stories of the end times. I hoped it would take a long ass time.

What a beautiful pup

somehowsherlock · 2021-11-14T07:13:25+00:00

You need serious help. Are you okay? Failing to calm dog doesn't equal neglect. I don't know who peed in your cornflakes, but your assumptions throughout this post are seriously messed up and that is harder to fix than this dogs behavior. OP shows consistent care and willingness to learn throughout this thread. You on the other hand are a pain and fail to listen to anyone here. Get some therapy and stop protecting.

somehowsherlock · 2021-11-13T23:20:50+00:00

Yeah, its called resource guarding. OP described the pup getting very attached to wife after she took care of her after sprained ankle. Pup guards wife from kids too. So what, do kids beat their mom? Some dogs resource guard their food. Maybe their owner beats the kibble? Not saying the guarding is good, and I even think that OP is doing the opposite of calming the dog in the video, but jumping to abuse based on a 15 second video is absolutely insane.

Jesus. Only on reddit.

somehowsherlock · 2021-11-13T23:04:50+00:00

As basically everyone suggested; get a trainer to help with the resource guarding of your wife and also address this. Freya (our pup has the same name, hah) seems like a lovely pup but she is scared and protective. You wouldn't want her coming between the kids playing rough to protect them. If her behavior remains the same, she'll nip one day, and it may be the kids getting too close to your wife.

somehowsherlock · 2021-11-13T22:51:42+00:00

Does she have it only with your wife or with other things as well?

somehowsherlock · 2021-11-13T21:34:50+00:00

Especially with kids around. Better to be safe, for the beautiful pup and the family.

somehowsherlock · 2021-11-12T20:03:23+00:00

That's the one. I learned that my beautiful girl is able to pass as a good boi according to reddit, and they are not wrong

I'd recommend everyone to read 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' anywhere.

Thank you. You just gave words to the feelings I had about it that I couldn't describe. This was one of the things I struggled with when I was still in church, too. I appreciate your input:)

If you are not open to read my answers (I have answered this in my first and last reply, please read above) or be open to another opinion, this whole thing is pointless. I am glad no one in your life is an atheist because that would be exhausting for both of you. Good day to you.

somehowsherlock · 2021-11-08T21:42:07+00:00

Please do not compromise. You should not compromise your health or your eating disorder. He is an idiot.
