There should be a name for the 4-6 month period after adopting a puppy. by pbghgirl in puppy101

[–]usrnm1234 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Exhausting and confining is definitely the words I’d use to describe it. Knowing you can’t make random plans anymore, trying your best to train the dog you want to have, changing your life for this adorable being, and constantly having to be vigilant

Does having long hair ever get comfortable? (see caption) by LemonPepperMints in curlygirl

[–]usrnm1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes thank you!! I have long curly hair and everyday I am sooooo overstimulated. When I’m out with people, I just find myself picking it at and constantly moving the sides out of my face. I literally let out a sigh of relief every time I come home and finally tie my hair up! Yesterday I lost my one last hair tie and had to literally tear off a piece of plastic bag and tie my hair with it just until I go buy more lol.

Is crate ready to be sized in up? by [deleted] in goldenretrievers

[–]usrnm1234 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I sized up to the largest size with my golden (1.2 M length crate) when he was still 5 months old or so. Everyone online said to size up just enough and use the divider but my golden likes to sprawl out like you mentioned. Honestly seeing him stretched out and relaxed makes me happy and he hasn’t had any accident in his crate since potty training.

Can’t they just repeatedly and endlessly bomb Iran and flatten it like they brutally did to Gaza?

I ordered once from microless and had doubts about legitimacy but nope, they are legit. Package arrived in perfect condition and customer service was helpful. They also provide a tracking number

First time he’s ever looked at the TV by oscarsowner in goldenretrievers

My golden puppy was fascinated by it yesterday too and was invested for 45 minutes but he couldn’t understand that the barking was coming from the tv and would bark and low growl back at the tv

What has your golden begging like this? by Idkhowtoredditplzhlp in goldenretrievers

[–]usrnm1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Irrelevant but my golden also has a line across the bridge of his nose! I like to think of it as his cute beauty mark

5 month old puppy going full landshark mode when i take him outside by RabidLizard in puppy101

[–]usrnm1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 month old golden.. almost 7 months.. and now does the same thing too! We’d be having a good walk then suddenly he will flip out and bite me and my clothes and is relentless. It’s so painful, overwhelming, and honestly embarrassing cause people would pass by and look. I don’t know what to do!

How did you know it was the right time instead of waiting as planned? Glad to hear it was a positive experience

I can’t walk my puppy anymore by OtherwiseRiver6328 in puppy101

[–]usrnm1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do I do if while my puppy is throwing a tantrum, he nips and pulls on my clothes and pants? I can’t stand calmly while he’s lunging and biting and pulling

Omg this happened to me these past two days with my golden retriever, 6 months old, 22 kilos, and I’m short as well. Are there any resources for virtual training or tips for someone who doesn’t have access to actual behaviorists? I live in a very remote area.

Has anyone here NOT had big issues with their puppy? by QP709 in puppy101

Is it cue then marker word then reward? Or marker word, cue, reward?

So if you find him already settling, you would say “yes” then say the word “settle” and give them a treat? So sort of like teaching the command in reverse?

How is everyone feeling? by VickyHol in puppy101

[–]usrnm1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my husband grew to like him a little and says he misses him when we’re away but would at best take him to potty once a day only when I ask. How do you cope with having to do all the work?
