Despite being extremely inconsistent on actual flitting training true to yalls words of wisdom Freddie is generally picking up the vibe that mom at home isn't that terribly interesting. When I'm doing chores around the house he still continues to follow but I have noticed that just as some foods...

Just did something that I always wanted to do with Bax but never could because of his behaviors. I took Freddie to a dog friendly microbrewery and went out for dinner and drinks with my husband. Freddie was just perfect. Immediately upon entering I noticed there was another dog there...

Hey guys so I follow this guy rocky kanaka on YouTube. He’s a big name in like shelter advocacy in the states. Millions of subscribers. He also runs a dog bakery. https://www.shoprockykanaka.com/products/chicken-jerky-strips-dog-treats The treats are super clean. I love them because A. They’re...

So Freddie has a pretty solid case of barrier frustration on the leash and it is UGLY. he hurls himself at the end of the leash barking like crazy if he sees another dog. He has a history of being fostered with other dogs and even lived at a doggy day care for a couple of weeks so I’m pretty...

Can anyone provide clarity on how to use these different things? I want to work on Freddie’s impulse control so I’ve been doing a lot of it’s yer choice work with him which he loves and he’s brilliant at. But there’s a part of me that feels like the longer I wait to reward after the look away...

So. I think we’re on the right track but just checking. Freddie loves to play. But he has adhd I swear. About once a day he will become obsessed with a single toy and play like mad with it. For about fifteen seconds. And then like a light switch turning off he completely drops it and ignores...

Freddie just had a huge seizure. Vet office opens in literally two min so I’m gonna call in a second. Things he’s injested since the vet. Had his seresto flea collar properly fitted. Bordetella vaccine Apoquel Propelactin The only thing that Google is stelling me can cause seizures is the...

Just got back from Freddie’s first vet visit and figured I’d update y’all. A. Definitly will need a dental soon. He’s in danger of losing a tooth. Nothing scheduled and I’ll hit the fish skin chews and tooth brush training harder to see if I can prevent it. B. Definitly hyper mobile but not...

Is there a quick resources for seperation anxiety? I know y’all are usually quick with a link and I’m sure this topic has been posted on before but I can’t find anything. As soon as we step out the door Freddie starts barking and all evidence points to him continuously barking for the duration...

So Freddie is a little piggy. again he was found wandering the streets of New York City at a portly 11.6 kilograms (or 25.6 lbs in freedom units). he's currently roughly a good weight at what I believe is about 5.4 kg or 12lbs. So obviously the poor boy doesn't know the meaning of the word...

I've been posting so much (sorry about that) that I couldn't find the person who recommended it but my package of Skippers Flatties Cod Fish Skins came in today and it was a miraculous hit!!!! He gnawed away happily for a solid fifteen minutes on it. when the ends started to get soggy he'd hold...

Baxter was claustrophobic. I don’t know if I ever tried a crate with him and it was a disaster or if I just knew it was a bad idea and never tried. He hated tight spaces. Elevators. Cars. Blankets over him. Clothes. Hated them. Freddie however is a different beast. The rescue said he had a...

Looking for tips to clean Freddies teeth. rescue said they were a "stage 2 or 3 and will probably need a dental soon". they obviously have a ton of gunk on them. things I've tried: Hills sensitive stomach kibble not a factor. the pieces are so tiny he just swallows them whole no problem. no...

So freddie has bad teeth. i knew that. i wanted to raw feed him some chicken to help naturally brush his teeth. so I normally gave bax a full chicken thigh when he was raw fed but I'm only supplementing freddie so I gave him a tiny chicken drumstick (think like chicken wings) welp. he gummed...

So most of you know Freddie's story from the other posts I've made about him. new rescue. got him Monday may 20. so almost exactly a week ago. when I got him the rescue recommended switching him immediately to Hill Science Diet Sensitive Stomach Chicken Flavor. I do not know what they were...

So as many of you know I lost everything in the house fire including Baxter's coveted toy collection. I'm looking to restock from scratch and I'm looking for tips. I have always been a HUGE advocate for play time even with well behaved dogs and especially puzzle toys. Baxter LOVED his Outward...

Hey so I am firmly in the positive dog training no choke/prong/e collars camp. however. the rescue that I got solomon from insisted that I take him home on a martingale which is a collar type I freely confess i'd never seen before. when I went to sign him up for dog training the training...

On May 2 we suffered a devastating house fire. my then-fiance (now husband) Joel jumped through a second-story window and was admitted to the hospital for two days with severe carbon monoxide poisoning. our beloved dog Baxter didn't make it. we are absolutely crushed by grief with the loss of...

Hey all, little bit of a background about me. (Some of you may remember me from the postivily board. i was a regular poster there years ago. good to see JudyN still kicking around!) I have a 10-year-old rat terrier named Bax that came from a puppy mill. he's overcome so many obstacles and I'm...

So bax has been to every dog class under the sun at this trainer but we haven't been in two years. I decided as something "fun" id pick up a basic manners course. the day after the class he started pooping blood and one very expensive vet visit later i get the diagnosis. colitis. AGAIN. the...
