@pacificjordan Nah, I’d just post wanted posters with increasingly terrible sketches Reward if found: one pristine tennis ball

@pacificjordan If it was me and you had replaced the ball, I would tell everyone how a dog performed petty crime on me lol

@sottaceto My fav self defense move is deliberately plopping their butt on your shoe.

@mishkan Omg… that opening sentence LOL. I almost want to cry this is so sweet!!!! Pls tell her I said hi!!!

@limobustruckfleet On top of the good advice let me say this: Take time to yourself. This is stressful as hell and a long (lifelong for doggo) process. You can’t try multiple things at once and speed it up. Responsible trainers do not guarantee or estimate a behavior change, that’s a...

Today i heard a dog coming near the path we were on so I kinda yelled out stop to my dog. I forget how loud I can be. Unfortunately the other dog owner’s heard and stopped as well. They thought I was talking to them… they looked a little surprised and maybe irritated that some tiny girl (I look...

@ncnctv Some are but far less than marketing would have you believe. Grain free rose to power when all the humans thought they were allergic to gluten. Human trends get mirrored in pet food because it’s easy money.

@bushido8000 Rule of thumb: give tripe on stainless steel NOT silicone. Things we learned the hard way lol

I have crowdsourced some great ideas from this sub for pill administering. We have done everything from “oh no I dropped the chicken oh noooo” to buttered pills to melted cheese. Hopefully this helps someone lol. (Crowdsourced ideas post, first follow up post) We appear to have landed on...

@marissa777 Okay that is kinda funny so now I’m grumpy laughing lol I trust Purina in as much anyone can trust a massive company lol. They also have great selections—I’m partial to size formulas (ex: large breed vs small breed) but they even have stuff like “shreds” which has been good for my...

@jessemini14 Love this for you!

@marissa777 Don’t take food advice from a trainer, that is SO FAR out of their purview. If they aren’t a vet specializing in nutrition they need to pipe down. I get really upset when trainers do this because they genuinely have ZERO training in this and literally anyone can claim to be a...

@surendered12345678 Yes, this was going to be my suggestion!

@zakknight Thank you! My dog is just so big and intimidating I love when other dogs want to say hi lol. Gonna have to brush up on my language skills 😩

@algernon22 He’s been on traz for over a month now and doing great! Leash reactivity massively improved. We tried fluoxetine twice and never made it past 2 days. It was bad. My understanding is that there is a loading period for this sort of stuff and side effects are expected. But I personally...

@brothersnook Awesome! I would argue that the stop tabs make it less of a hazard.

@richard1970 I hate that you’re right about this lol. My dog is pretty OK being neutral but interested but if I give him the OK to go ahead, he does get very excited. Do you think that counts as over excited per your behavior team?

@algernon22 We saw the opposite. Fluoxetine increased aggro behaviors and traz did the opposite.

My boy has been doing really well with his leash frustration. He has the hardest time when other dogs clearly want to greet him. I don’t want to overstep anyone’s training or create a dumb situation by being dumb. I also don’t like people in general. But it would be really cool if he could just...

@brothersnook Yeah it’s really only an issue if the dog pulls (I imagine with regular-ish dogs that it’s a surprise squirrel or something). My dog only really pulls around triggers but it’s enough to make me cry lol. And I even wind the leash under his front leg so I kinda pull him down, rather...
