@angelicwind I was just kidding! I figured it was likely a one time thing. Got to live the wet, soapy bathroom floor after a bath. Makes cleaning the floor easy though!

@habanero I took my dog with me last week to our local pet store (not PetSmart). Wasn't sure how it was going to go but figured if there were a lot of dogs in there we would just leave again. Turns out there was only 1 other dog, and it was a puppy in the cart. The puppy barked at my guy a...

@angelicwind Or just, and stay with me here, shut the bathroom door.

@elizabethgirl The Webmaster is definitely the way to go. They are made to help life dogs over obstacles when hiking so they are hard to get out of.

@jeremiahforchrist My guy was bit by another dog that latched on didn't want to let go. Other owners picked up their dog and started pulling. I realized the other dog had more harness than muscle of my dog, so I reached down to unclip his harness. It got the other dog to let go of my guy, but...

@eilightened My boys didn’t do well on Purina Pro plan, but do well on Purina one digestive health. Younger one has a sensitive stomach and a chicken sensitivity.

@skylar222 I've been walking in a direction before and someone turns out in front of us going the same direction, but just a bit ahead. If my dog is dead set on going that direction, we tend to just go in that direction but I'll slow him a bit if we get too close to the person ahead of us...

@steve12 “Thanks! So are you!” But make sure to sound cheery when you say it.

@katty3333i Pre-COVID my vet would encourage owners with new pets to stop in regularly just to say hi and get on the scale. The dog would get pets and treats and learn to associate the vet's office with happy things instead of being poked and prodded. Now that COVID restrictions are mostly...

@rbl72 I had some lady going off on me once, I can't even remember what about now. I just stared at her for a minute like I was trying to think of something, then pointed at her and exclaimed "that's it!" very excitedly. That of course threw her off, and she wanted to know what I was talking...

@searchinggod I LOVE shutting people down when they try to say something about my dog. Sometimes, I ridiculously passive aggressive about it too, and will just start talking to my dog in a loud voice as we walk away from the person. "I know bubs, that person is a complete idiot who doesn't...

@hesta Great reason! My friend’s dogs do best on Purina One digestive health. Since we spend a lot of time together with our dogs, including travel with the dogs, mine are on it too. That way if one of the dogs eats another dogs food they aren’t going to have stomach upset from it. Plus, we can...

@mattyp Your best option will be to look for trainers in your area, those with reactivity specialists would be your best bet or a behaviorist. Separation Anxiety/crate training: Just like with any dog, start small and work your way up. Put him in the crate with a high value treat and go to...

@reshma Thank you for finding him and loving him! He sounds like such a sweet boy!

@word_cuts_deep The prescription food can be given long term, it will get expensive though. I have a dog with a weird food relationship, likely due to his first owner. Basically, he needs to be actively hungry to eat. When we go out to hike or walk or play I bring food with us. We will take a...

@unquirer You should meet my dog

@cobondservant My boy has had to go to the vet a couple times since COVID. First was an ear infection and he wasn't sure about the going in without me. Second was to get neutered, he was drugged up, and he knew something was up. Started his big bark when I gave the tech with leash and ended...

@christianaspie8701 As the owner of a large, high energy dog, going on a walk without my dog has never even crossed my mind. Its possible they are of the same mindset, and just don't understand that some dogs don't need or want to go out that often. If it was up to my dog, we would spend all...

@sheepofthefold I don’t care what people say about “big pet food” my dogs are getting food from a WASAVA recommended brand with research to back it up.
