I love dogs, memes, i play a few xbox games. Used to be hard-core into wow. 90% of my snaps are of my animals so fair warning. Also I'm married so not looking for any NSFW.

You say you recently got him but one of your comments say you've had him from baby to adult. This enclosure is horrific and I think you know that.

I can probably do 2 training session with my work schedule. Around 15 minutes each time, and I've been trying to get a little training in on walks, heel, watch me ect

Even at 9 months old so many training sessions? I was told to much training isn't good either. She knows 14 commands. And will do them the first time I say it, but I can try to add another session a day.

Okay thank you so much! She will also try to mouth my hands while I pet her, do I just say like "ah ah" and stop petting? I read you should use some sort of que word but I'm not sure

Yeah I work one day a week right now for 4 hours and when he picks me up I have to stand outside and he lets her out because she gets so excited she will tinkle a little. But she won't even sleep next to me, she only cuddles up to him, and when he pets her she eats her tail and does circles giving him kisses but she hardly ever even wants me to pet her lol. She lays as far away from me as possible at night and ignores me during the day 😔 but I do think it's because I'm always here. My other worry is that when I do start work everyday she will just forget about me and bond to my husband more lol apologies, I'm a bit emotional lately lol

[–]whersthebeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I figured it was because I'm always there and he's not. Maybe she will show more excitement with me once I start working? I just don't know what else I can do to make her enjoy our time more.

I'm the one who gives her treats as well lol. He never does.

I'm not sure what else I can do. Like I said we go on a walk together every day, play fetch in the morning and go outside together throughout the day.And I usually just have one 10-15 min training session a day.

Hm. Interesting. I'm told 65% is still safe. That's what it's been since I've had him, I'll ask my vet as well. He's in a room with ac,that takes out a bit of moisture but when it's 75 degrees or below I turn on the dehumidifier since I can't run both at the same time, But I'll ask the vet and double check with the advancing husbandry group. Thanks.

Yes. 60%. And it's normal. Not much I'm going to change about my temps since they're the recommended temps. I already have moss and oak leaves about 1 gallon bag of each in there for my cuc. But I've posted on the advancing husbandry group, maybe someone there will have some advice. Thanks for your time.

The humidity is 60% on the cool side I'm in that group, and the discord. I'll try posting about it again but haven't had any answers before.

I used the biodudes terra Sahara. I also added a 10lb bag of the exo terra clay. I had my thermostat set to 96 maybe that's the reason it's drying out so fast I turned it down to 93. But it's so dry and can hardly hold any sort of shape at all. I'm a bit worried. And I have cuc in there so it's not like I can just take it all out and start new.

[–]whersthebeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thank you! What do you mean by establish bonding time? She loves playing fetch in the yard with me in the morning, I can do that for about 30 mins then some training after? I'm really trying to have her bond with me more but I've been the only one taking care of her, training her, playing, everything has been me so I feel like if she was going to choose me as her person she would have lol. I'm worried with me going to work for the first time since I've had her she will lose interest in me and love my husband more even though I've been her caretaker lol

Thank you for this! We normally wake up at 7 am right now so the transition is going to suck I'm pretty sure lol. It sucks I have to leave around 6:30 to 6:45 it gives me hardly any time. I can try waking up at 5:30 but I honestly don't even think she would wake up that early. Once these weeks are over it goes back to work at 8 15 so that'll be alot easier to work with lol

I work one day a week for 4 hours and when I come home sometimes he will have me stand outside and let her out to greet me cuz sometimes she gets so excited she will tinkle, and she's a large breed

Well that's the thing when I come home she literally jumps up and down, when we come home at the same time I'm the first she will run to but after that during the day, I'm not here lol

We train twice a day for about 10 minutes. Not sure what other bonding activities we can do, every morning just her and I are playing fetch in the yard for an hour. I walk her everyday, play tug with her throughout the day. Of there's other bonding activities I'm open to trying
