@nomoreexcuses24 What are you doing for exercise and mental stimulation to balance being confined so much? Also how did you crate train? Sounds like fall out from the “cry it out method” ?

@rlneub That’s so amazing!!!!

@rlneub Ooo that’s a good idea. If it doesn’t help or you want an added layer of protection I’ve seen lots of companies that make custom onesies for dogs that are super light and UV rated! Threadz n tailz is a great one, you can find them on IG!

@shpchvr Positive reinforcement works, by definition it works. It works on you, it works on your dog, it works on wild animals. If it’s not working, what you’re doing isn’t positive reinforcement. I know you say you don’t want to hear it, but to fix things you have to know specifically what...
