@jacob86 He's so sweet, silly, happy, cuddly with me.

@thefixer Yes.

@tarper Regular vets near will charge that. What you need to find is a vet who does a lot of these surgeries. Try animal control or a local rescue.

@jyoooohs A friend has been a dog trainer for decades. She was always telling what to do better. I was appreciative of the help and tried so hard. She ended up with a reactive dog. Called me one night to apologize for always telling me what to do better. She finally was seeing for herself that...

@romans82 I text everyone our rules when they pull into the driveway. People generally do well with rules they can read. But we still run into the friend who thinks he’ll like them. No he won’t. He’ll act friendly until he’s close enough to lunge for your face. Head straight to the living...

@junipham I second looking into raw. If you're able to make it yourself you can make it for less than quality kibble by shopping sales.

@washedcleannyc Trust but verify.

@zibi2392039 You're welcome. Good luck.

@abid14385 Embrace the dog you have. We took nose work classes which should be designed for reactive dogs. I made life long friends. My dog won't go on walks but will sniff in a field. So I take him to fields. There are a handful of people he's safe with and we have dinner parties with just...

@thelordbeexalted91 My Pointer would run 5 miles at full run. Nap for 10 minutes and be ready to go. I don't know about Aussies. I hope someone who knows answers for you.

@zibi2392039 Don't assume the shelter will just hand her over without proof. Is she chipped? Bring that info. If possible bring vet records and put photos of her on your phone. Make sure to include some that highlight distinguishing marks and fur color/patterns. Don't expect a big greeting. She...

@hannah102 I do. Since I make my own food, I did check with my vet to see that the vitamins recommended in the recipe were safe. I wanted to make sure it was complete and balanced.

@laceflower That's been known to happen. I have to watch my stress level with my boy.

@edoward Doesn't look bad to me but I'm not a vet. I'd get it checked out but to me it's not an emergency.

@laceflower That frustration you feel is what she feels. You’re not an asshole, you’re stressed.

@joshuawithmartin Never use board and train. You need training as well.

@auddieme Exercise levels decrease with age but saying that fixing him made him lazy is BS. My dogs all have stopped playing with toys around 4-5 years old. They like puzzle games more at that point. Hiding treats, etc. Here are some puzzle toys you can buy. I just smear peanut butter on the...

@yole Read the ingredients of Science Diet. It's not a great food. (Chicken Meal, Whole Grain Wheat, Whole Grain Oats, Whole Grain Sorghum, Corn Gluten Meal, Chicken Fat, Whole Grain Corn, Chicken Liver Flavor, Flaxseed, Dried Beet Pulp, Pork Liver Flavor, Fish Oil, Lactic Acid, Iodized Salt...

@fluffypiranha These are the ingredients in the SD you're feeding: Chicken, Brewers Rice, Chicken Meal, Yellow Peas, Cracked Pearled Barley, Whole Grain Sorghum, Egg Product, Chicken Fat, Soybean Oil, Brown Rice, Dried Beet Pulp, Chicken Liver Flavor, Lactic Acid, Pork Liver Flavor, Potassium...

@genxgen229 I’ve never read pack leader into that. Just respecting what your new dog is going through and giving them time to adjust. While not a pack leader I do have to provide guidance. But I will go back a reread it. It’s been awhile.
