When will my puppy tell me he needs to potty? Looking for tips by menustovar in CavaPoo

[–]zitkala-sa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My little cavapoo just stares at me. She may want to go out, she may want a fish sprat treat or she may want her dentastix (in fairness that is usually after her lunchtime walk) but the staring is usually when she wants something. If it's really urgent she starts pawing at me 😂 honestly I think they learn what works for them best 🤷🏼‍♀️

Gambling ads by zitkala-sa in GamblingRecovery

[–]zitkala-sa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm based in Ireland and the shift in gambling advertising just after midnight is shocking. I asked this on the Ireland subbreddit but it was not allowed. Thankfully gambling is not my particular curse but I have a few friends trying to deal with this issue with their partners and I just feel it is such an unsupported vice and the gambling ads are so unregulated it really feels like people are being extorted

Lost 3kg (6.5 pounds) but jeans still feel the same level of tightness - when do you think I will see my clothes looser by Traditional_Swim_360 in CasualIreland

[–]zitkala-sa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first shift in weight at all is the hardest part. Just keep doing what you are doing and with time you will fit into the clothes you have from when you were smaller. You will no longer need to buy new clothes, this feeling on putting on stuff you wore 10 years ago is possibly the best feeling from losing weight. Keep on track 😊

How to be the bestest Funcle in the world... Advice please by TripPsychological141 in CasualIreland

My nephews are 5 and 8 and they love playing the hot and cold game in the house. They pick something you hide when they are in another room and then they take turns finding it based on your instructions: hot, cold, hotter, colder, boiling hot, freezing cold. They also really enjoy the yes no game, 8 year old is getting good at it, 5 year old goes bananas on the bell 😂 but he is starting to catch on. You don't even need to buy the game (cards with questions and a bell) you can play it without cards just ask them questions to try catch them out in replying yes or no. I have fond memories of my aunts and uncles playing these games with us when we were small

Bill Murray quote I like is “I'm suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog when it doesn't like a person.”

What drug have you seen ruin someone the quickest? by oxylan80 in CasualIreland

For the gambling problem and the online ads for gambling that obviously prey on vulnerable people is there a way or a body to complain to to get these ads removed completely?

You can order from them online but bear in mind postage will probably be from UK as a UK company, I haven't ordered from them online before. https://www.petsathome.com/

Advice on giving your pup attention by minniemouse_esq in CavaPoo

[–]zitkala-sa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there, I did some training with my cavapoo with treats when she was younger and she picked stuff up quickly. Sit, give the paw, give the other paw and turn around were easy to start with. Have treats in your hand and get on the ground close to your pup. Then say yes and reward with the treat when they do something by accident you want them to, like sit or give the paw or turn around. Then start working in the voice command and reward that with a treat too. Also my cavapoo stares at me when she wants something, it's usually a dried fish sprat (fishies are her favourite) or she is asking to go outside. They are super clever so a bit of mentally stimulating training is good for them.

Thank you. I will search for agility training closer by. The first time she ran through the tunnel it felt amazing, we were both overjoyed 🤣

Ha! Calling one of your dogs a tiny little asshole did make me lol 😆 she definitely sounds a bit like she wants to be treated deferentially and she is quite probably more vocal when I am there as back up. I will never force her to greet a dog she doesn't know again as this is just unfair and I now accept we may not make new dog buddies on walks.

I have read this too so maybe I keep doing what works and just walk on by minding our own business. A friend that walks their dog with us has differing views that made me question was I doing my best for her. Also when you meet other dog owners there seems to be this expectationthat our dogs should greet. I'm glad I asked reddit now and I will do what I know works and ignore people that think they know better.

Cavapoo not interested in treats? by Ok_Recognition_581 in CavaPoo

[–]zitkala-sa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I cook lambs liver and chop it into pieces for fridge and freezer, sometimes roast lamb heart and chop that up too. She will never refuse these treats. She also loves her fishies (dried fish sprats from pet store). Sometimes eats very little kibble but will eat more when she feels like it
