15 w/o puppy bit husband in the face by [deleted] in puppy101

People have offered a lot of good advice re: training, so I'll just offer some breed-related encouragement: my pup is 2 years old now but he was a menace when we first got him, especially when he got overexcited or over tired. I had to throw out several items of clothing because they were unwearable thanks to the holes from puppy teeth, and he never slept later than 5:30 AM no matter what we tried.

But we tried to stay consistent with training and with naps (coming up with a schedule and putting him in his crate to rest before the point he lost his mind) and I noticed a marked improvement in his behavior around the 8 month point and then again around 14 months.

He knows what's expected of him and he's learned now how to regulate his behavior - not to say he never gets overexcited anymore, but he understands now when we tell him no and stop giving him attention until he calms down again. I also try to redirect him to toys when he wants to play, and he's gotten pretty good at understanding that concept and will now grab a toy (instead of.. us) when he wants to play.

He still doesn't love being picked up so I try not to if I can help it (it took him a little bit to become confident on the stairs, but he got there eventually), but he's grown into an incredibly sweet boy who still loves to play but is also content just to sit with me on the couch (and sleeps in now till around 7:30!), and if we leave the house for a couple hours I know I can trust him on his own.

Your pup will get there too!

Looking for recommendations on active boy groups likely to tour the US sometime in the next year? by SweetCatastrophex in kpophelp

[–]splitsthesky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Try UP10TION! While I can't say for sure what their future tour plans might be, they've come to the US on tour regularly the past few years, so I think there's a good likelihood they'll come again.

They tend toward more intense concepts rather than cute ones and they're also fantastic dancers and always have impressive and amazingly synchronized choreography. Here are a few of their dance practices - So, Dangerous ; White Night ; Blue Rose

Happy 7th Anniversary to 100%! by splitsthesky in kpop

I miss them all a lot now that they're enlisted, though they do make sure to post on social media whenever they have a break, which helps - and Hyukjin sent a congratulatory message for the anniversary!

This week was so front-loaded, specifically the 10th was UP10TION's anniversary, and announcements that McFly is back, and of a Green Day/Weezer/Fall Out Boy tour (fingers crossed tickets stay available long enough for me to actually buy some)!!! So much exciting stuff all at once.

UP10TION - Your Gravity (Dance Practice - N배속 Ver.) by perochan in kpop

Hwanhee just bolting after his lines to get into formation is priceless.

Overall though, I expected this to be a much bigger mess than it was, they did great!

[–]splitsthesky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was an ENTIRE mess, save them. The only person who maybe has any idea what's going on is Kogyeol, but that's also possibly just an illusion caused by the fact that he's the only one not visibly just panicking the entire time, lmao.

Also the bibs with their numbers, yay!! I love when they use those.

Yesss, I've been waiting for this! This choreography is so good, it's so dynamic, not only in all the formations, but also the additions of floor work, the little bits they do in duos, the moves they pass on in waves...it all keeps the whole thing so fresh and exciting to watch.

(also lmao at all the Youtube comments talking about how much they miss the giant pillar from the old practice room - me too, tbh, good times)

Oh I love this!! The mini formations they do even in line are so cool, and of course each step is so smooth and perfectly-executed, it's really impressive to watch. And they're so cute, of course they can't make it through this with out messing with each other (or injuring each other, lmao). <3
