    I don't know what else to do, I'm sad, disappointed, I feel like a failure

    @thedaughterofgod I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you very much for sharing this! It really helps. Your dog sounds great. We all have this idea that all dogs need to be sweet and friendly to other dogs and be able to go to a doggie park, and it's really putting pressure on me. We are still...

    @smallgirllovesgod Thank you! I will try the peanut butter and the hot dogs, for my other dog we tried several high value treats and it turned out nothing was more valuable than a ball.

    @imagebeastmarkbeast Thank you. That's really reassuring. More often than not, I feel like I'm doing everything wrong and I keep second guessing myself. Everyone always recommend the harness, and I have to admit it did wonders for K, but P never really felt comfortable.

    I don't know what else to do, I'm sad, disappointed, I feel like a failure

    We recently took in stray, about 1 year old, let's call him P. Originally I was going to keep it until someone adopted him but my 5 year old dog, "K", really liked him, K really didn't play with other dogs but with P it's like he's a puppy again, they are together all the time, share toys. P...
