@amarekanne It really doesn't matter. Aim for before, but your goal is to associate the cause of the bark with good things, so the bark is entirely irrelevant to what your goal would be.

@jbob1724 APDT doesn't test their trainers. CCPDT does.

@mim4you For the sake of argument, how do you find a reputable trainer if not reviews? While you've stated what not to do, how do you find one? There's another one in Texas that is similar to this, the trainer said it was aggression. He's operating again and had no charges.

@imagebeastmarkbeast You're in a sub where people will occasionally suggest biting a dog's ear to assert dominance. Of course people are going to confirm. You could always try dropping the lingo and phrase it as a question.

@gnobody I'd be concerned once it gets warmer. It can be deadly to leave a dog in a car if it's too hot.

@christopherb As a note, puppy101 does not remove mentions of r/reactivedogs on our sub. I have removed one and only because the person also added that they weren't allowed to promote aversive tools on puppy but could on reactivedogs.

@rcetc That's not true per veterinary behaviorists. And, nobody says don't leave them alone, just don't shove them into a situation that they're panicked and leave them there.

@papajoefreeman I'd be more worried about you than the dog. How are your toes?

@sweetjane4ya Clear your (mental) cache.

@southernrunner In all fairness, they do. A few of their team helped me with my PTSD dog. They're among the people who I feel I could get reliable and relevant help from and they're very compassionate people. What reality do you suppose they're missing?

@radioactive7 I don't give my dogs bully sticks, but not due to blockages. They're fully digestible from my knowledge and every vet seems to have a different stance on it. It's weird to say they're bone-like. I don't believe bully sticks have a bone in it. They're literally a penis muscle from a...

@wandalouise Rawhide is digestible. Those look good to me.

@kaykay8 I'm confused how they leave their dog for 8-10 hours while living in a car. Then again, I don't want to know.

@notw530 More importantly, you should return before there's cries. Keeping it at a set random time risks leaving the puppy in a state of stress which we don't allow here.

@jennifer1990 Sometimes it's not about winning, but getting the care you need when you need it without needing thousands in your savings account.

@mfhorn Separation-related stress is another reason that people tend to frown upon leaving puppies alone.

@taradawn I think I misread something somewhere. I swear I saw they got a doodle for $500 LOL.

@samuel4christ IAABC accredited professionals largely do virtual, and they are specialized in behavior problems like this. What happens if she can't see you? Things like crate covers?

@kamm I use the first party app for modding so I don't mod from bed or while I'm out and about much because it's that punitive. Another thing: The app isn't disability-friendly. Those who rely on screen readers such as those users and mods at r/blind will no longer be able to use Reddit at all.

@larsonmcl Well, the thing with overstimulation is, it's dog-specific. If your dog is overstimulated, then there are triggers that may need to be avoided. Honestly, based on this, you may actually be doing too much, which is leading to arousal. What happens if you skip daycare or the dog park...
