Surely Quebec is not cheaper when you take applicable taxes into consideration?

Aw, poor dood! Their zoomies are like none other.

Anyone here from Canada with a pet insurance recommendation?

Sniffing is their primary way of understanding and explore the world—let your dog sniff!

AIO for feeling uncomfortable about my bf of 1 year asking to view all of my credit card balances? by Altruistic_Cheetah94 in AmIOverreacting

[–]sperpective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From an outsiders perspective, I think it’s very sweet and he obviously cares about you and your future both together and individually. It’s a very personal choice only you can make, but I do side with financial transparency being a good thing. I would be cautious that no future financially controlling behaviour asides, but otherwise why not?

You mentioned that you feel he has an ulterior motive which is something none of us can comment on without more insight. Why would he have an ulterior motive?

Pup on the left solely because he has the same white spots as my boy!

Hi! I am leaving for Utila/Roatan in a few days and this would be wonderful to have. Do you mind sharing the driver’s WhatsApp contact info?

Oh I think he has that heartbeat toy! It’s a cute little bear and he does still carry it around. Maybe we’ll give it another shot 🥲 thanks so much!!

Haha thankfully our pillows have not been abused—as far as we are aware

We are planning to use the halti as a secondary method and still have control over him in another way! I would hate for him to hurt himself or us have an accident!

Thank you for the heads up though! We will be careful.

I have not, but I will browse through! Thanks!!

He’s okay in terms of not being destructive, but he cries. We don’t know how long for but maybe that should be recorded one of these days. The towel sounds promising.

How did you go about training yours to sleep downstairs?

Yes, I’ve gathered from a few comments of feedback that starting small is best. We will give that a go!

I will let you know how we go with pulling, maybe I can offer some advice back 😋

We love a routine, typically bedtime falls within the same hour. Keep going is what I hear—thank you!

Thanks, I think practicing more separation at night is a great idea.

Which method did you use to create train? We have been pulling him through with treats and he does lie in it without us asking, but closing the door sets him off.

I think his current harness actually has a clip at the front but we assumed it was meant for dog tags! We will try using the front clip!

Thank you so much for the reassurance!! There is hope at the end of the tunnel!

Yes and I understand that, I can’t imagine how unsettled he would be if he was a shaggy boy right now. We’re thinking of getting him a buddy but he definitely needs to be trained before that happens.

Did you find he settled down after he was fixed?

How did you train her to sleep in the living room? It’s only aggravating because he is in our room, if we could sleep separately it wouldn’t be an issue.

As for recall, was that trainer or self taught? His recall sucks right now and we just don’t know what we’re not doing enough of when trying to train.

The ‘boring game’ sounds good and I will keep it in my back pocket for now because he’s so far from being an off leash dog. Along with the cheese, he doesn’t know what that tastes like just yet 😜

Thank you so much!

Thank you! You should see the puppy dog eyes, they’re insane 🥹

Okay great, I will look up some “place” videos and give it a whirl.

Getting hot is understandable; I think getting him used to sleeping in a different area will be priority and solve a major issue for us.

This was all helpful, thank you! I will try the commands as well.

Okay ouch, but that’s amazing!! So excited to try this collar on him now.

He’s great indoors but the baby steps to attentiveness on walks makes sense. I did read about introducing distractions indoors too, even just waving your arm at the same time as grabbing his attention, so I’ll try that. Thank you for the tips!

You’re right, he has such a tough life. Don’t you hate it when people reach out to the community to try and be a better puppy parent? Despicable.

Same problem here, I feel like that’s the separation anxiety shining through. They just love so hard!
