Be sure to check her feet afterwards. I still feel guilty years later after engaging in a similar activity. My dogs feet got shredded. Now I use booties.
Right after you were talking about Flin Flon, Saskatchewan and drove by that service station? Those trucks were hiding a monument and rest area saying you were crossing the border into Manitoba!
The puzzle will be more use to him when he gets a bit older, but I wanted him to have a custom puzzle for his first birthday since he has a rare name. The puzzle is kept up, so he doesn't touch it unsupervised. I appreciate your concern, but he is safe! His first birthday has a lot of presents to carry him into his first year, not all immediately for him at his current level.
Yes, I have a dog that barks excessively at mailman. I used to have a small dog, and a small dog was much older than my red healer, and he taught booger boomers, my red healer, to more like mailman, I've tried treat, he doesn't pay any attention as long as a male man is on the street, I've tried his squeaky toy to get him to go fix the ball. He wants nothing to do with it. As long as a mill man is on the street. He chips it up the whole time. The mailman is on my street. What can I do?
So your problem is not an uncommon one! Your dog cares more about the stranger than a toy or a treat. The best way to practice this is to engineer a situation under your control. Get a person you know that your dog doesn't- or dress up someone he does know in unfamiliar or unrecognized clothing. Practice this exercise, but have the person not approach the house at first. Maybe it's just up the sidewalk or even on the street. The idea is that you make the experience mild enough that your dog is able to be distracted from it. Slowly work up to having the person approach the house only when your dog has practiced an easier situation successfully. I hope that helps!
He makes such a mess when he eats, it's easier to let him go wild in just his diaper. Then he goes right in the bath after dinner and gets into his snuggly PJs!
