    I am so tired and distressed that my 10 m/o is eating EVERYTHING

    @osuchrissyosu Agreed. I’ve thought about it. I’ll start today. At least it might just help him stop being obsessed by what’s on the ground constantly

    @emmy_88 Yes that’s the one I got. Specially made to avoid dogs eating poison baits.

    @jaimea1 Thanks for your answer. I do have a muzzle but he hates it. I’ve been trying to get him used to it. It also frustrates me to get to that point. But I guess I will end up using it if that doesn’t get better soon

    @blairusu I hope so too. Maybe doing the muzzle thing for a while might help him grow out of it

    I am so tired and distressed that my 10 m/o is eating EVERYTHING

    @imagebeastmarkbeast Protecting me around other dogs ? He mostly eats iguana poops. I’m in charge and used to dogs. I just get upset when he eats things that can potentially be dangerous for him. I don’t think that’d be unusual and anyone who’d remain calm or doesn’t seek advice after the...

    I am so tired and distressed that my 10 m/o is eating EVERYTHING

    @imagebeastmarkbeast It’s a very nice and long analysis of my relationship with my dog but keep in mind you actually aren’t here so it might be a little irresponsible to do this when you’re not fully aware of all the fact. My dog spent his first 9 months in the streets so maybe it’s not my...

    Thoughts on e-collar ? (Only on vibration mode) the vet recommended it but I am really reluctant

    @caveman I didn’t know those exist ! I was actually planning on looking for one that does not cause any pain at all. Just a nudge ! I’ll look into it.

    Thoughts on e-collar ? (Only on vibration mode) the vet recommended it but I am really reluctant

    @houston84 Well, the safest way is hydrogen peroxyde BUT we did it a couple of times and he hates it so much that last time he hide in a corner and looked genuinely traumatized and terrified so I don’t want to have to do it again if I can avoid it.

    I am so tired and distressed that my 10 m/o is eating EVERYTHING

    Hi everyone ! As some of you may know, we rescued Helios 2 months ago now. He’s 10/11 months old. He’s a nice dog, a little neurotic at times (barking, chewing on the couch…etc) but he’s getting so much better thanks to never ending training and education. There’s one issue I’m struggling with...

    Thoughts on e-collar ? (Only on vibration mode) the vet recommended it but I am really reluctant

    @bryttaaniarynn I just want to use the sound mode or the vibration to kind of get him out of the state in all fairness … IF I ever buy one. I would never subject my dog to any pain in order to train him. I’ve been using a muzzle but the thing is he can’t play when he has it on and ultimately I...

    @sheshell675 Ok I don’t punish my dog. I want to get him out of his obsessive state when an iguana comes around (

    Thoughts on e-collar ? (Only on vibration mode) the vet recommended it but I am really reluctant

    @bee_brian Excellent advice ! I’ve been practicing with other temptations outside (chicken bones, dead mice…) he does still seem very sensitive with whatever has been dead for a while. BUT he does seem to understand when : He sees a chicken bone, He pulls, I pull him back and say “no” very...

    Thoughts on e-collar ? (Only on vibration mode) the vet recommended it but I am really reluctant

    My dog is a ACD/ Pitt mix. He’s 10 months old and overall he’s a great dog. Obedient, kind to strangers, kids and other dogs. He’s getting better at not reacting with cats. I walk him 3 hours / days and train him everyday. I’ve seen such an improvement since he got here 3 months ago. Here’s my...

    How much exercise does an ACD actually need? How do you know if they need more?

    @bibleloverbill I felt so overwhelmed when we rescued my ACD mix. Some days I thought I couldn’t do it because I couldn’t understand what he wanted. But dogs are just like people, as time goes by, you guys will understand each other more and more. And as I can tell from my other 13 years old...

    @bibleloverbill Just dropping in to send a virtual hug and to say thank you, it seems like you’re taking extremely good care of her and it seems like you’re curious about what she needs which is already so much more than most dogs owners i see here in the caribbean. She’s a lucky girl !
