I'll take him on walks and to the park to play, stuff like that. Other than that, I'm leaning towards a couch potato type than isn't crazy hyper indoors.
thoughts on taking a five year old pure bread who pretty much fits you description? also would have to have some kind of signed contract that you wouldn't randomly freak out some weak and stab and kill him because i have some concern that you might do something like that.

If you don't have a solid idea of what you want, it should take at least a few weeks to decide. You're going to be spending a ton of time and money on it so you should take a good look at a lot of breeds and their downsides since they all have them.
I love English bulldogs but you should do a lot of research on their respiratory issues, exercise limitations, general smelliness, etc. Boxers and Labradoodles are both good choices, but make sure you have enough time to deal with their energy. With a lot of dogs, just walking them won't actually tire them out like you'd think. My plan with my German Shepherd was to walk or run her at least once a day. Turns out that does almost nothing to release her energy so I now have to play frisbee with her 5-6 times a day to keep her satisfied. I work at home and spend 24 hours a day with her so it works well for me (gets me out of my chair) but just something to consider.
Based on what you said you may want to look into soft coated wheaten terriers.

Are you opposed to smaller dogs? That would open up the "couch potato" list. Also, think about whether you really need a puppy since almost any breed you get will be pretty hyper the first few years. You might be surprised what they have at the manhattan pound. Every time I go in there I find a few dogs that I would take home with me if I had the room.

They don't bark. With any other breed, you run a severe risk of getting some annoying dog that never shuts up when you leave it alone.

They are really great dogs, pretty smart, fairly energetic but also have no problem just chillin on the couch for hours. My only complaint is last year he tore his cruciate ligament and that cost about 3 grand to get fixed.
Really easy to train, never barks, cute as hell especially during the puppy stage.
would highly recommend them

Thought about adopting a pit, there's a shitload of them out there. But then I remembered that I don't like dogs that will occasionally freak out and maul a kid.
never had a problem in 4 years. the key is to be responsible, I never let him be around new people without me there, especially kids. But really, he loves kids just licks the crap out of their faces.

I think that most pit bulls are pretty nice dogs. The problem is that a larger than average percentage of them are pretty aggressive, and they can rip your face off.
Post by: KCFDcat on September 18, 2011, 09:58:31 PM
Yeah, I wouldn't get a dog that people are going to be afraid of. Mutts are pretty hit and miss. They are great when you get a good one, though. Collies are pretty smart. Retrievers are great if you don't mind the shedding. I like Basenji's, but they are kind of like cats, so I can see why some people don't like them. Boxers are pretty good dogs when you are around, but I don't know anybody that has a boxer that's not a real shithead when it gets left alone. Never get a Chihuahua or Poodle. I also hate Dalmatians with a passion.
Just my 2 cents.

It's all about ownership. A pitbull needs an owner that it can look to for guidance and to be strong, if you can't do this then you probably shouldn't be getting any kind of dog. just imho

Yeah, you gotta be the alpha dog or they will act out in all sorts of ways. Little dogs usually have a higher incidence of this because people think it's cute when they do crap that would earn a big dog an ass beating. And most people's problems with dogs stem from them not exercising their dogs enough. My aunt's boxer is a rough ridin' spaz because she never walks it and he stays in a crate all day during work/school hours.
yeah, this is where my job comes in handy, I'm home for 48 straight hours and at work for just 24. So when I'm home he's never in his kennel, unless I go out for something. and when I'm at work, he's only in his kennel until the wife gets home from work, then she usually takes him for a run or something.
Also, he's pretty good about entertaining himself in the backyard. He will just run in circles for 20-30 minutes, then come inside and sleep for 4-5 hours. then repeat.
Even though I'm technically breaking the law by having him in the city, I've never had any problems. I even walked him right by some animal control people a few months ago, and they just told me he was a good looking dog.

true, but it has historically been considered a defect if a pit is human aggressive, meaning they don't allow that dog to breed. obviously lately irresponsible breeders have not upheld this. but, if you get a dog from a reputable breeder with a proven bloodline it really shouldn't be a problem

So, we rescued a dog and were told he was a yellow lab / golden retriever mix (pretty much looks like a smallish lab). After looking up rhodesian ridgebacks, however, I think he might have some of that in him. Looks almost identical in the face. Hmmm.

Labs are hands down my fav. Another good choice for a medium/large dog would be a greyhound. They don't shed and are very docile and loyal. We had them when I was growing up and you couldn't ask for a better pet. They can handle the heat and would be perfect to take on your runs. Although they are built for speed, they are not necessarily a high energy dog (in other words, they are not spaz's). If you're looking at doing the rescue thing, you could take one off of a track somewhere.

It's possible. Our dog is half ridgeback, half mutt. He has some basset hound, pit, and something else in him. His ridge is only present when he gets excited or on the hunt.

Looking for a dog. Thinking about adopting but want a young one, nothing more than 6 months or so. Looking for something similar to a lab in size, been looking at coon hounds or Vizlas or something around there. Dont need a hunting dog but do have some land that i could take it to so It could chase rabbits etc.I would get a short haired dog and hook him up with a bitchin house to stay warm in the winter. Putting a long or even medium length haired dog outside during the summer is cruel imo. I'm assuming you don't live in a cold state.

Live in KC. Been looking at Rhodesian Ridgebacks but apparently they are about $1,000 and I dont feel like spending alot of money on an animal. Dont need a purebreed or anything as I have no desire to show or breed them. Would love a Ridgeback lab mix.

Looking for a dog. Thinking about adopting but want a young one, nothing more than 6 months or so. Looking for something similar to a lab in size, been looking at coon hounds or Vizlas or something around there. Dont need a hunting dog but do have some land that i could take it to so It could chase rabbits etc.I would get a short haired dog and hook him up with a bitchin house to stay warm in the winter. Putting a long or even medium length haired dog outside during the summer is cruel imo. I'm assuming you don't live in a cold state.
I would keep it in the backyard while at work. Would also like to take it on runs, nothign to crazy though.
Ideas?
Live in KC. Been looking at Rhodesian Ridgebacks but apparently they are about $1,000 and I dont feel like spending alot of money on an animal. Dont need a purebreed or anything as I have no desire to show or breed them. Would love a Ridgeback lab mix.
Picking up a lab boxer mix tonight! Shelter puppy for $100.

Got an english bulldog for Xmas. Lazy as eff, but an absolute riot. Already battling an ear infection of course.
One of my pugs gets ear infections on the regular. The vet usually gives her some steroid pills and two tubes of ointment. One tube is for the current infection and I put a little of the other tube in her ears every week or so in hopes of warding off another infection. I have to take her to the vet like every three months or so though.

I want a boxer really, really badly.
Friend of mine and former roommate has a boxer who is absolutely insane. He adopted her from a shelter. She was in the shelter because her previous owners couldn't deal with her energy/hyperness, and after a couple weeks we could see why she might be a bit much to handle. Never a dull moment around that dog. She isn't a bad or mean dog and she's very fun to play with, but I wouldn't recommend a boxer unless you have a lot of patience (or if you're better at training and teaching dogs than our dumb asses).
She has jumped through and shattered several windows, that's a lot of fun to explain to the landlord. Her bark is loud enough to wake the dead. When nobody is home, she has a habit of tearing up any produce left on the counter (onions, potatoes and tomatoes are her favorite). She likes to play rough and has drawn blood on both of us multiple times while playing. One time after a party, we passed out drunk and woke up to discover that she carried Gatorade bottle spitters onto the couch and somehow pried the fuckers open, spilling tobacco spit everywhere. She gets jealous if you're with a girl on the couch and will try to wedge herself between the two of you. She also chews up shoes and socks if you leave them around her.

i've had a beagle since he was ~3 months old. he is now 12. he likes to make noise when left alone, but barking and howling has never been an issue when he has company. they're great dogs, but probably not great for apartment living. you could put a shock collar on him or her that activates when they would bark, but i don't necessarily like/agree with that approach.

tried this on my dog when she was young, and she would make a noise when it shocked her, so it would shock her again, causing her to make another noise. so it didn't really work as intended. i shocked myself with it to see how bad it is, and it wasn't painful.

i really want an alaskan malamute
I think they have a bunch of health issues. My gf's family has a German/Malamute and he has seizures a couple times a year. He's young too :(
He's pretty hilarious though. Got zero desirable German shepherd traits though so he's kinda dumb and uncoordinated but adorable and loving.

I inherited a 12 year old golden retriever. I don't know if I can go back to puppies. He's so chill and loving and already housebroken (obvs) and I just don't know if I could deal with a high energy pup every again.
i'm seriously reconsidering the wisdom of getting puppies v adult dogs. puppies really are a pain in the ass. oth, it's only a very brief time period.

that dog shouldn't be kept in a cage.He has a fence, but he doesn't like to stay outside all day. He's my mom and dads dog. They use to keep him out, but he'd piss and crap everywhere, because he was mad that mom and dad was gone all day. He doesn't seem like he minds. Sometimes he goes and lays in there over lunch with the cage open.

Well if you get a blue eyed merle, Jimmy might be a good name for it. Or Bronny or Stompy or Zeppy

man, that's pretty great for an 8 week old pup (re. housetraining).
Yeah, she seems to be pretty smart. Just had our first vet appt, small ear infection and some minor issues with digestion but other than that a clean bill of health.
I've never had a puppy this young before (last one was 13 weeks when I got him) so the whining and excessive biting is new for me. It's good to hear that it's normal though. We're starting to crate train this week, so we'll see how that goes.
Post by: KCFDcat on March 04, 2015, 05:22:15 PM
Training has been going v well! she's almost totally crate trained now and spends all over her sleeping time in there, and usually goes in there to chew on toys etc...
took a small step back in potty training (I don't think mrs kcfd is as vigilant at taking her out when I'm at work) but the dog seems to be back on the wagon now.
down to waking up only once a night, which is a huge upgrade from the 5-6 times we were woken up the first week. exhausting.
she also gained almost 4 pounds last week! holy crap!

What kind of dog is she?
she's a bluetick hound. Is the newest member of the Missouri K9 search and rescue team!
Post by: Asteriskhead on March 04, 2015, 07:45:29 PM
P.s. her name is Willa if you're curious. (short for willamette, which is a hop variety :) )
That's awesome.

naming your dog after a chemically induced triploid hop, i can officially say I've seen it allWillamette is a descendant of the fuggle hop from the UK. Yes it is a triploid hop but so are most of the hops used in modern Brewing.

do you train search and rescue dogs, kcfd? my pup's gonna search for stuff (i hope, unless she refuses) too, no rescue though.I don't, but a guy I work with does. so he's going to help me out. The first "test" is at twelve weeks and all she has to do is show that she can follow a trail, which she's already doing

my dog was born with snow on the ground during an especially snowy winter so when the snow finally melted he would find the pockets of snow to do his business in. when all the snow was gone, he would just roam around looking for it while his bladder was about to explode. :lol:

'clams that story really grinds my gears, i mean how does a human do that to an animal, seriously, i bet they were gang members who tried to get out of the Lawrence culture and settled in Tampa, i mean it makes perfect sense. Hopefully that pup finds a good home, preferably a KSU Cats family, but regardless a good Florida family.

ok. I'll go ahead and acknowledge the elephant in the room. truthfully- the dog looks as if it may be insane. running around- seemingly with no purpose or reason. back and forth, around and around, and then it attacks a person. I guess that for hardcore dogheads this type of activity is considered endearing but man, just seems like a four legged PCP addict to me.
she does that for like 5-10 minutes most nights. it's very amusing.

We lost a dog last spring and then got a new one right away (adoption). The terrier mix we got had lots of issues with people and would get mean every time someone came over. Then we had issues while away last summer with someone watching her and not being able to control her and she ruined our basement floor. I have a feeling she had been beaten by a male and she had major issues because of it, we tried for about 4 months and it just didn't work out. It was just a bad deal for us and the dog unfortunately. We took a break and continued to look and found one we think will be a better fit.
Now we are getting a rat terrier and based on the foster family he was with he doesn't seem to have any of the issues of our previous dog. He's been around kids, people, other dogs, and cats; energetic guy about a year and a half old. Pretty excited.

i'm a lot older than that. i do work a shitty job and travel a ton for it.
the table isn't a folding table, just a small kitchen table. i've been meaning to buy some chairs (and a dining table) for a few years, but i'm lazy, picky and cheap, so i haven't found anything i thought i should buy yet. one of these days. i like the tile a lot too. hate the grout though. can't believe how fast it got discolored.

We adopted this Border collie mix named Coby last week, he's a very good dog with a few bad habits. His previous owners had trained him to bark when he needs to go outside, and he has escalated to barking anytime he wants anything.
(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.tapatalk-cdn.com%2F15%2F04%2F30%2Fd3a811a85d79307676313fdc63777c49.jpg&hash=bdc885c78c69090b00504222dd91fef5a93cc796)
don't reinforce the behavior. instead, reinforce the times he does not bark. gonna probably take a while, but start building on those quiet times. clickers can also be good tools to help. sounds like he is a pretty good dude, just tryin to do what's right in this crazy mixed up world.

she's always had a taste for blood, she's a dog. she's only now figured out what she can do about it.
she's malleable. if you want her to kill rodents, you can encourage it, if you don't, you can deter it. it doesn't take much.

mrs mocat really wants a beagle. they are adorbs but how do you make them not howl all the time? like when you are at work all day don't they just howl and howl and howl?
if they aren't sleeping, they're probably going to be howling/ barking/ crying, and/or rough ridin' crap up, like all dogs do when they're left alone all day.

I have a friend, who recently got engaged with this girl and she has this really shitty, small, purse dog. When she's not around, he poops and pees every where form...him to clean up. He's like 11 years old, so there's not much time left, but I'm pretty sure he would like there to be even less time left. I guess what i'm getting at is.... How do you poison worthless, unadorable dogs?

I know what the puppy food is for, just not the "large breed" part. don't really care either. she seems to enjoy it. Once a week (after we do scent training sesh's) if she's good she gets chicken and rice for dinner. man she really goes crazy for that stuff.

large breed is less nutrient dense so that the pups grow slower because growing too fast can cause joint problems in larger dogs. some brands also have stuff that is supposed to help with joint health, but afaik no one really knows if they work or not.
no offense, but your pup actually looks very slightly on the tubby side, so less nutrient dense food is probably a good idea even if liblib thinks she's small.

is this a good place to complain about the incredibly shrinking kibble? when i was a young man any number of dog foods would give you a nice big robust kibble. now the world is awash in these rough ridin' mini-kibble grains of sand. who the eff decided that all dogs wanted to eat dwarf kibbles and why aren't there contrarian companies that refuse to slavishly follow the mindless horde?

I remember the big kibble too sys, but I don't see why the size matters
it matters to me because i use cheap dog food to feed my mice and all these newfangled kibbles are too small and slip through the bars of the hoppers and the only one i can find that still uses a nice big kibble is pedigree large breed which is too expensive for mice and also they now dye about 1/3 of the kibbles red or green and i don't like that either.
i don't think it does matter to the dogs, which is why it's so annoying that there isn't some variety in kibble size.

We went through this one year ago with the kids basset hound that they absolutely adore. She fell down stairs and jacked her back up bad. The vet gave her a not great chance at recovery and said that if she does recover, she won't have control of bowels and what not. The vet also told us that if she didn't have a significant recovery in 2-3 days, then she won't at all. We prepared to have her put down, then decided what would it hurt to give her an extra week or so. The dog made a 99% recovery and we avoided the issue, but part of the prep for putting her down was the discussion with the kids. they were 8 and 10 at the time and took it so much better than I thought they would.
It sucks and I feel for you.

Unfortunately came here to post something similar and maybe get some good discussion on it. Know what you are going through. #onecat.
My Rhodesian is round about 6 1/2 years old. A couple months ago we noticed the muscles on the right side of his head collapsed. He wasn't and still isn't in any pain. We had been going through a pretty arduous move at the time, and coordinating with where to put the dog when we were working on the move obviously put a lot of stress on him. We figured it might be stress related but decided to get him checked anyway. We went through several steps and tests, all of which to test out more common, less serious, treatable possibilities, all of which came back negative. The last test we have available is to do an MRI to check for tumors that could be a lot of places, none of which would be good. The doc says that it is more than likely attached to his brain, or to a nerve sheath. She also says that there isn't really any outside chance that it is something else.
Like I said, he isn't in any pain. He also doesn't seem to be effected in any other way --maybe a little bit more drool out of that side of his mouth. Generally an extremely happy dog who is the exact same minus looking a little weird.
The question I'm struggling with is whether or not we should confirm what seems to be the only possible explanation, which would mean spending a decent chunk of change (in the thousands of dollars) on an MRI. If it does confirm it, then we know exactly what is happening and we would be essentially in the same spot. Treatment for that sort of thing is radiation and basically could extend the life of the dog by a couple years, but during the therapy he would be absolutely miserable. The therapy is extremely hard on dogs and they feel like crap. It can go on for a year or two. In addition to be extremely expensive, I don't like the idea of making my dog feel like crap and devalue the good years of his life just to extend the generally less active years he may have left.
Is it wrong to just continue without more tests, and without treatment? I have come to terms with the fact that he could be gone in as little as a few months (could also be a few years) so long as he is enjoying his life and doing dog things, but I am not sure if this is off base. TIA.

this has probably been addressed by the vet but it sounds like maybe he/she has the canine version of bell's palsy, it's called idiopathic facial nerve paralysis.
Post by: asava on March 09, 2016, 05:21:51 PM
i would ask myself, what are am going to do with the results of the tests? the hard answer is probably nothing because of the difficulty of dealing with a tumor on the brainstem. if your dog isn't in any visible pain, and that's confirmed by the doctor, i would just let the guy live his saggy faced life.

Yeah, no pain is the key IMO. Once my guy is in more pain than the meds can assist with, it will be the end of the road.

500 is nothing at the vet.
My Ike dog had an abscess on his rear leg so I took him to the vet here in Lenexa to have it lanced. My other dog had had an abscess once and it was lanced by a more rural vet and I was out the door at about $300. So I didn't even ask for pricing in Lenexa. rough ridin' 920 dollars, and when I picked him up he was still squirting blood. They said "it'll stop bleeding soon." And I was all "I paid you to fix my dog and you haven't done that yet call me when he is fixed." Fuckers. So ya 500 bucks to a JoCo vet is like a teeth cleaning and maybe some antibiotics.

Would you get another that big? Been putting off getting another dog saying we don't have room. Now that we moved and have room, wife is full throttle on looking for dogs, mainly looking at Bullmastiffs.

You guys hit the head on the nail, the three we were looking at were Newfoundlands, Bernese Mtn dogs, and Bullmastiff. We kinda went towards the bully because much less shedding and wife likes the tough guy look for a little sense of security when walking around our new place (moving into the city/little more crime/etc)

If you are living in Kansas, summer would be brutal on a newfoundland or bernese mtn dog. You could also look at Swiss Mountain Dogs (less hair) or Danes. Both are supposed to be pretty chill and will probably have less slobber than the Bully.
I'm in a cooler climate than Kansas. Those two breeds are insanely popular here and we like both, we just prefer less shedding.

there is a puppy in an apartment down the hall that has been absolutely losing its crap the past few days. today it has been barking for four solid hours now. it sounds like it's right next to the door so i'm doubting the owners put it in a cage/kennel when they leave for the day. i work from home and can usually put on music or something to cover it up, but i would say my level of being annoyed is at a 3.5/7.
is there anything i can do in this situation? should i leave a note for the owners as if they will/can do anything about it? or do i just have to deal with it?
haven't been home much in the past few weeks, but i'm back this week and just left a note. i went out to make sure i had the right apartment, it's directly across the hall. i think the dog actually is in a cage/kennel because i can hear it scraping around in there. poor thing is miserable, just constantly barking and whimpering. i offered to take it on walks or dog sit occasionally. :drool:

About a year ago his other pointer bitch, 6 years old, died suddenly (grass awn migrated to spinal column, infection, paralysis). Bought a pup to replace her.
Pup #1 died suddenly in January (impaled on mesquite tree), and he's looking into getting another puppy to replace.
So he must think it's worth it. Honestly I don't know how he's not lost it going through all this heartache. He's a better man than me no doubt.

Guys, I picked him up last Tuesday 7/5. He's off two of his meds now, only has the prednisone (steroid) remaining. I pretty much have to carry him everywhere because he can't handle himself on the slick hardwood floors. Looks like Michael J Fox on ice skates. Saturday he went to the bathroom for the first time by himself, so he is definitely improving. Last night he was a dumbass and tried to walk down the deck stairs by himself, fell about half the way before I could catch him. But anyway, it looks like he's going to make it!:Woohoo: :thumbs:

Clip off less than you think you should until you get a feel for where the quick isOn further pondering your question about black nails referring to not being able to see the pink (quick), i'd just use the pictures above as a guide for where to cut and take a little less off. You also might be able to use a pen light to see if you can see the quick through the claw.

Hate to bring this thread down again. Haven't really wanted to talk about it, but my rhodesian died suddenly a couple weeks ago. Ended up swallowing a portion of a corn cob whole. We didn't have any idea he had done it. Nothing happened for 2 or so weeks, then when it started to move downstream, it perforated the lining of his stomach and intestines. Wasn't really anything we could do at that point. I miss him a lot, guys.(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.reactiongifs.us%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2F12%2Fjust_horrible_home_alone.gif&hash=0d30d92488de6b9a829225f1f27e39f276208256)

T's asava :cry:. I'm with KCFD.. it scares Mrs Dub and I with a giant breed about she possibly getting into objects like that, or a smaller bone from our small dog.
Yeah, definitely a part of the reason I posted about how it happened was for awareness on these sorts of things. He was notorious for eating pretty much anything he could get a hold of. Indiscriminate eaters can be super tough to control and monitor. Hope your pooches never have anything like that happen.
Thanks for all the T's and P's.

I think I might want a dog. Seems like everyone in my building has one, and they're everywhere I run and walk around. Looks fun. But I'd only want a pretty chill dog.
How do I do this? Googling makes me think I should be adopting an adult dog that's already somewhat trained.
This place has a manageable amount of dogs. Finch looks good.
http://www.seattle.gov/animal-shelter/adopt
Other sites I'm finding seem overwhelming with the amount of dogs.

This little dude seems good too. http://www.adoptapet.com/pet/16461028-seattle-washington-miniature-pinscher-mix

you should get a young dog, trim. personally, it's hard for me to imagine ever adopting an adult dog rather than getting a puppy, but some people do that and it works for them.
I like the idea of the older dogs already being largely trained. Like stepchildren.

if you know what kind of dog you want, you can check for breed specific rescues. they'll have dogs of that breed and often crosses and similar breeds. my impression is that those orgs usually keep the dogs longer in foster houses and give them a little more attention prior to adopting them out.
I don't know anything about breeds or what I'd want. But yeah, a lot of these places I'm looking at indicate a fair amount of the dogs are in foster homes already.

You want a dog from a farm out in western KS. JHe works hard, gets up early and is the last one to leave the dog park. Sure, he might be the slowest and least intimidating dog around but he will never get in trouble (except for the occasional delay of walk screw up) and you can be proud of him. In 4 years, he might even be good enough to be captain

it cuts your housing options by probably 75% but the killer is they demand a double security deposit.
many Japanese house finish materials are very fragile and don't stand up well to pets. think soft wall paper, rice paper interior doors/room dividers, tatami floors.

i've never understood what people are talking about when they say crate training. is it just that you tell a dog to go in a crate and he goes in? because there's no training involved in that, that's just telling a dog to do something and the dog doesn't give a crap and mostly does whatever you tell it to naturally so it does what you tell it to w. regard to going in a crate. is there supposed to be something more to it?

a true "crate-trained" dog doesn't need to be told to go to the crate. Example, my dog knows when I have keys in my hand I'm leaving the house, she goes in her crate. If we're on the couch watching TV the dog lies down in her crate, etc etc

Sometimes I go to my parents place over lunch. The family dog buddy is very smart and he lays in his kennel when they're at work. I let him out when I come home and I trained him on how to go straight to his kennel without me having to say anything before I leave. How did I do it? I grab a treat, he sees what's going on, and he heads straight to his kennel. :love:
my dog would sense that you were thinking it was about time to go for the treat and then run to the other side of the kitchen table so that you couldn't get him.

https://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/35599408 - seems chill, wants quiet and little chaos in my place as do I. Purportedly crate-trained and house-trained; thinking I'm gonna want to use a crate for a while so my home office isn't ate.

They will eventuality stop doing that crap when they realize they are going in that create ever-y-day.
One got "better" but still had issues 2-3 times a month. My current dog I gave up after 2 months and just let her run around the house when I left and we were both much happier after that.

She escaped the crate and left bloody foot prints all over our basement floor (luckily that was before it was finished).

If I got a dog of the size you deem desirable, my entire apartment would effectively be the crate. When I went to the shelter, even the "medium" dogs looked to me like they'd be totally claustrophobic in my setup.

A big plus for Buddy is that the place in charge mandates that the dogs actually go to your spot for 2 weeks as a test run on both sides, so that would be a big plus for everyone vs. just taking a flier on one based on a paragraph of blog. It kind of freaked me out at the shelter that people were walking in and out with a new dog in like 20 minutes and that was that.
Yes, the test run thing sounds good.

my older dog is 46 lbs. too big for you, no arguments. my younger dog is 29 lbs, and it's pretty much the perfect dog size. big enough to do medium to large dog things like play w. tennis balls, run super fast and jump super high, harass small animals and not have that weird small dog attitude of wanting to fight bigger dogs but small enough to hardly take up any room, can be picked up and carried around w. one arm and generally be very convenient.
in summary, look for a 25-30 lb dog.

don't let them mind-trick you into thinking they're doing you a favor in giving you an abandoned dog for $400. whatever you offer buddy is better than what he has now. also dogs don't need yards, and honestly any dog organization that doesn't know that is pretty suspect.

Thank you for your application for Buddy. I am so sorry about the delay in replying to you. Things get very busy around here.
Buddy will be placed on trial adoption soon with someone who applied for him before you. We hope it will work out for him.
We do have many other great dogs available so please keep an eye on our website and let us know if there are others that appeal to you. There is no need for a new application each time; you can just email me directly.
What about Asher? Seems like a lot of similar traits that I cared about, but has some baggage?
Quote
Asher has been through a lot and really wants a person to himself. He is learning to have better manners with other dogs but does have jealousy issues. Asher is nervous around kids so we would prefer a kid-free home for him.
He warms very slowly to men and after a few days, with love and giving him space and treats, he is in. He is not the type of dog you can instantly pet and just needs a little time and then loves it. He is then a very snuggly boy. Loves his walks, car rides, such a doll.
Something happened in his past so his foster is working on him being lightly touched on his backside and neck to get him comfortable. Making tons of progress.

There was one dog earlier that was deaf. Deaf dogs don't bark, but you have to rely solely on hand signals for commands. I almost adopted a deaf dalmatian instead of my current one.
I'm not sweating the dog having the ability to bark. I've passed on the deaf dogs; that's asking too much out of a first-time dog have'r.

in my experience it's more like 5% a year from middle age to old age and then old age hits in like the span of a year and then they're at 10-20% of puppy pep till they die.

Just fine if you don't have a skittish shitbird of a dog. Our dog is nearly a hundred pounds and he does fine when we have parties. When he gets too excited we just put him in his crate and he sleeps.

i think you need to give up on petfinder and find somewhere with a better selection.
Yeah, this isn't a process that's made better with the internet. You should just go down to the humane society/arl/aspca, it's going to become apparent which dog you'll want when you meet him/her.

I started that way. Few dogs, even less background info and very chaotic. I like reading the info and talking to a person that knows if it'd work out. Isn't petfinder just an aggregator of every humane society place anyway?
When I get home and a few hours sleep, I'll just apply for all of them and see who comes back first with a declaration it'd be good, especially if they do a trial.

Arguing with the Mrs. about breed. I'm leaning towards chocolate lab, she is leaning heavily towards a Wire Haired Pointing Griffon. I really want a dog that can handle trail running, hiking, and running with me while I mountain bike.
Anyone have any opinions on these two breeds or experience?

i have no clue but maybe if the particular color has been inbred more than others, it would lead to more health issues

Not necessarily breed or size, but this is the lifestyle/chillness of dog I want, while also being able to run around and do active stuff in the appropriate settings.
look into getting a whippet maybe? not sure. sighthounds in general are super athletic but also super chill, but the miniature breeds might be prone to being nervous, dunno.

The place with Dora, Clyde et al responded with more questions for me and commented that she thought either of those or Kara would work. This is the place with minimal descriptions on petfinder for most of the dogs except Dora. I need someone with facebook to look on the link that's in these links and see if there's better info there.
Clyde - https://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/36202787
Kara - https://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/34258501 - There's some info on petfinder but nothing that makes me know why the lady thought she'd be a good fit.

no (but yes if you have to leave it alone in the house all day). they do need to chew a bit, but can learn pretty fast what is chewable and what isn't.

The operator of Dora et al got back to me after I gave more specifics on what I'm looking for and has now enthusiastically raised the option of Dina. https://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/36269844 There are no details on the site but the lady says "Dina would be a super choice for you she is athletic enough but also mellow enough for apartment living and is very well socialized with people and other dogs and has great house manners is crate trained and housebroken and has a perfect temperament." That all sounds good, and the dog looks cool in the pictures that look like they were taken with whatever cell phone camera you people determined is the shittiest.
She says "Dora would be good too but a little more energetic."

there are certainly easier ways to get a dog, but again, this really isn't about you getting a dog
I enjoy that he shares the hijinks associated with this escapade with the board. Otherwise, this place would be a pretty rough ridin' boring place for me to waste my time.
Post by: pissclams on October 06, 2016, 02:08:57 PM
there is no perf dog, but if he really wants one just head down to the pound and grab one like the thousands of other people who did that today. boom, dog acquired in an hour's time
we all want the hijinx, but they don't begin until he gets the pup home (i cannot wait for this part)

Consensus is that Dina would be ideal, w/Dora good too, right? Here's the info on them both again.
Finally got a hold of Tosh's foster, but now she's got Tosh meeting potential adopters this weekend so I have to wait until after to see if he's still an option.
The operator of Dora et al got back to me after I gave more specifics on what I'm looking for and has now enthusiastically raised the option of Dina. https://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/36269844 There are no details on the site but the lady says "Dina would be a super choice for you she is athletic enough but also mellow enough for apartment living and is very well socialized with people and other dogs and has great house manners is crate trained and housebroken and has a perfect temperament." That all sounds good, and the dog looks cool in the pictures that look like they were taken with whatever cell phone camera you people determined is the shittiest.
She says "Dora would be good too but a little more energetic."
https://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/34258496
Other than the above, all I know on Dina is adult, pit bull terrier mix. Any specific questions I should ask or things to look for? Is there an age for that type of breed that should be a dealbreaker?

Everything thought to be about Dina (Dee-na, but she has no attachment to the name, human thinks it's weird) was even more so. My buddy who knows a lot about dogs went w/me.
Negs (all stuff discovered by my friend):
She's probably 8+ years old. Has some gray hairs and also looks like maybe early cataracts. My buddy called his friend who's a vet and reported that stuff and vet also guessed 8-10 years old and would expect to live to 12-14.
She's missing a toe on her rear right foot. Doesn't seem to have any effect. Human either didn't know or pretended not to have known.
Teeth need to be cleaned and also apparently reflected the 8+ age guess.
Human claims there's no way for me to get any better info. Says the dog came from a kill shelter in San Bernardino, where dogs get turned in as strays w/no info even though they're probably being surrendered by owners that have the info but don't want to pay the surrender fee.
Pros:
Pretty much exactly the temperament I want. She came out and was fine being off leash and instantly was cool and friendly w/us but not hyper at all. She's fully house trained and could be in a crate but the human uses nothing b/c she gets along w/all the humans and dogs on this weird compound (there's an area where people are living in a tent) w/o any issues. Says a toy or 2 and she'll be fine occupying herself while I'm working or not home.
She was able to run around just fine and fetch stuff like a younger dog. Size is ideal.
She seemed to want to go w/us. She even ran over to the jeep and was seeming to want to hang out w/the giant pak head on my spare tire cover. It was pretty lol. When we had her come out a 2nd time she was walking around w/us like she was ready to go.
I'd gone in w/a mindset that I wouldn't want her to be older than 5. Turned out if I had evidence the dog was even 6 I'd have taken her today, even w/o having done any of the house prep. My buddy, while ackowledging the age concern, was astonished at how well-tempered but active the dog was and how good it would work for what I want. He kind of had a positive spin on the age in that even if I only had this dog for a few years, it's probably going to be a good experience and then I'd be more open to a wider range of dogs next time.
So I wanted a D-1 transfer. This would specifically be a 5th year grad transfer that I'd then have to let hang around even after the season.
Told her I'd think about it. Both my buddy and his vet buddy think it's appropriate that I propose to her that I take the dog but have a vet visit lined up and have the equivalent of a used car mechanic's check and agree that if there's something overwhelming that the vet finds that I can return the dog. Not sure if that's a normal thing to suggest or not.
Here's some pics from today. Advice?

don't get an old dog. previous owner used up all the good years and wants to stick you with the vet bills and the convalescence and the dying.
I know that's the logical way to look at it.

Don't be guilted into getting Dina, she's so old and broken. Getting a dog is a huge emotional and financial investment, it's okay to be selfish.
It wouldn't be guilt. Most of the stuff I liked about her for my setup is directly correlated to her being old. But I'll keep looking and find the sweet spot of not old and not a spaz. And maybe w/o one drop of pit.
But damn, the way Dina wanted to pak w/the pak head on my jeep was pretty awesome.

Look at some Google images, most are fairly stocky in build for smaller dogs. I don't think a miniature is required, the regular ones should be less than 50lbs, probably some in the 30-35 pound range. Nearly every flatbed pickup you see in MT has at least one on the back, so they are very common fairly close to you. Honestly it's a perfect breed for you. The only downside is sometimes they're not best around kids because they tend to try to herd them, but they're not aggressive or anything. Just damn good dogs. Tough as crap, too.

Like, I think they'd be fine if you weren't a lazy ass/completely unaware owner. They are smart and listen well and aim to please. Think of them like border collies (Lassie) but more blue collar looking.
If I didn't have sporting breeds but just wanted a dog this is what I would get, even with a young family.

He has the look of a dog that would be in high gear for 90% of the day which is fine if you have a big yard/house. The other two just have to look of being laid back cuddle monsters. Also, heelers are notoriously high strung (at least all I have been around).

I've had Ausies for thirty years, love the breed. Having one as a pet/work dog is akin to having a child, be prepared to have another member in your family. Easy to train and a very smart breed that responds well to visual stimuli. Do not own if you don't have the time or patience and they all have their own personality. A good sheering come May is a very good idea because the heat can be brutal on them, they were bred to work in the mountains.
That's my warning. :dubious:

if you're looking at at cattle dogs now, you may as well just get a border collie (the king of dogs) and be done with it.

the short hair border collies are fun because at some point in history all the smart stuff associated with border collies was bred out of them (along with their long hair). so it's more like a regular dog and doesn't have to have a job to do all the time. great dog.
Would she need a yard to be able to have room to play long games of fetch, or would I be able to get her run around enough just doing the walking and running around town I plan to do?
I don't think I'm supposed to have the dog off leash even in the pet area of the courtyard. Is it a thing to have a ridiculously long (to the point of being practically useless) leash or one that extends and retracts like a tape measure?

Yes, they make retractable ones, also I'm sure there are off leash parks close around
Cool. Yeah, there's plenty of off-leash areas I can walk to and do that once I know there'd be no negative consequence to unleashing. I want to make sure though I could quickly do a kroger game of fetch right outside my place during 15-minute breaks.

long hair border collie: will play frisbee fetch until heart gives out. in fact, human needs to be the one to officially stop the game every time so that LHBC does not pass out or die
short hair border collie: will maybe go after the frisbee but not bring it all the way back. instead, will find a place in the shade to lay down with frisbee and look at human.

Gypsy is the barkiest dog they have at that place. You pull up in the parking lot and hear some dog going nuts from deep inside the facility, and it turns out to be Gypsy. I'm not going back to that shelter. It's rough ridin' crazy.

on border collies/exercise (my experience). they're very athletic and like doing athletic things, but they really just like doing what they like doing and the running and jumping and whatnot is incidental. so if you have one that likes balls and fetching, just tossing the ball to it in your living room while you watch tv is just about as fun for it as taking it to a park and having it run to chase down the ball.

that gypsy dog looks hot as eff, too bad about her being barky. border collies shouldn't bark much, but with mixes, you never know.
Really sucked. I was walking to the dog area thinking how it was gonna be annoying AF hearing that barking dog while I was meeting my new dog. Go in the holding area and the loudest dog lunges at me into the glass barking her as off and I look up at the nametag - Gypsy.

Just buy a bark collar and it will learn to stop barking in like 10 minutes.

Gypsy is the barkiest dog they have at that place. You pull up in the parking lot and hear some dog going nuts from deep inside the facility, and it turns out to be Gypsy. I'm not going back to that shelter. It's rough ridin' crazy.
The place with Ellie is supposed to respond w/in 7-10 days from yesterday. They bring the dog to your place and size it up and tell you if it'll work or not.
unwanted dog dealers take themselves far too rough ridin' seriously.
This.
I have heard that sometimes if you're adopting a hunting breed they make you sign something that says you won't take said dog hunting. They also don't allow dogs to be kenneled outside in a run.

Today was Day 10. Hadn't heard a thing. I get on their site to email WTF to them and see Ellie listed as "adoption pending" and that her listing is removed from petfinder. :flush:

That place with Ellie finally on 10/22 forwarded my 10/10 email to the 3 foster humans. The lady with Copper told me I could call her for more info, but Copper is the dog that was deemed a crackhead here and is down near Portland, so that doesn't seem like a good option now that there's stuff coming together close by.
These 2 dogs just got here from Texas over the weekend so the place is observing them to see if they match the descriptions and if they'd work well. I like how both dogs look. Callie looks like Dina in non-pitbull form. I told them these 2 stood out to me but I'm open to any suggestions that match what I'm looking for.
Callie: https://www.gingerspetrescue.org/adoptable-dogs/#action_0=pet&animalID_0=10691355&petIndex_0=30
Blossom: https://www.gingerspetrescue.org/adoptable-dogs/#action_0=pet&animalID_0=10691429&petIndex_0=24
I'd applied at this place for Corky and Loki, but was told they wouldn't be "the right dog for a first time owner, can be a bit nippy with strangers if he gets scared." She is evaluating other not-yet-posted dogs that just got to her Friday to see if any would be a good fit.
Corky: http://www.chewdogrescue.org/images/Corky_flyer.pdf
Loki: http://www.chewdogrescue.org/images/Loki_flyer.pdf
And here's where I have the most progress with a human on ID'n a dog. I had asked about a dog on Friday that got adopted on Saturday. After she got more info on my setup and what I want, she said: "Hi, we do have a couple of dogs that would meet your home and work environment. They may be small but they are mighty. grin"
Gracie: https://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/36276341 "Gracie is a 18 month old female terrier mix that weighs 13 lbs. She is super sweet, wants to be with her person and has a bundle of energy to play and/or go on walks. Gracie gets along with all size dogs, cats, children, is house broke and is a joy to live with."
Willow: https://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/36343345 "Willow is Gracie's daughter. 6 months old on the 27th of Oct, weighs 7.5 lbs, and she too gets along with all dogs, cats, children and is very funny with her puppy antics. The foster has a video of Willow playing with her two Great Danes, just makes you laugh. Oh yes, she too is potty broke."
Those are both terriers, which were eliminated by the Corky/Loki human as being good for me. :dunno:
So thoughts on Gracie and Willow, and if I should move forward there rather than waiting for any of the other leads I have, especially Callie and Blossom?

I wasn't aware that most puppy-mills were claiming to be rescue societies now-a-days when selling $600 dogs on the internet.
Within the range of $0-600 that I've seen, the dogs are price inelastic. My only takeaways from the amounts of the "donations" has been a possible indicator of how well-communicating the humans are.

She seems kinda turnt
It's really just what I wanted. There's things you can do to get her fired up, real athletic for any sort of activity I could possibly want to do, but completely chill otherwise. At least that was the experience over a couple hours at the lady's house and at the bar.
I'd wanted one with stripes or spots or some distinguishing characteristics but having all those behaviors on point is too good to pass up. Her distinguishment is being weird looking and incapable of having her breeds figured out.
I think I pick her up Friday.

I've got a disproportionately big balcony, and I often leave the door open when I'm home. The railing is adequately sized for keeping her from falling off, so I'll be fine w/her roaming around out there. Should I, and assuming so, how will I train her that the balcony version of outside isn't the bathroom version of outside? Or should I get some leftover shitty BSFS turf and make a corner of the balcony be "grass" that she can do whatever she wants in.

I've got plenty of leftover tennis balls. I use new ones for actual tennis myself every time.
The human will get me the instructions on feeding. It was hard for her to break down exactly when and how much b/c she feeds all her dogs together, but she's gonna work something up for me by Friday.
This came up as a related item on one of your links, and I'll need something, but I think the 2nd one will be more useful for what I'd be doing, and I could use it to get her around on the light rail and then fold it up and stuff it in a backpack.

We started feeding our dogs Blue Buffalo dog food instead of Purina One. We noticed a lot less shedding and they seemed to digest the food better. You can order it off of Amazon and the price is about the same as what I have seen at pet stores. We are also feeding them a supplement called Dino-vite. The jury is still out on that whether it is worth it or not.

Thank you, Costco, for offering these bully sticks at such a wonderful price!! Bully sticks are my dog's favorite of all treats. I withheld them for a while when I learned what they were made of (bull penises), but eventually gave in because there are no other treats that he goes so absolutely ape over. (I just try not to think about it!) He's an 85 lb goldendoodle and can polish one off one of these in 30 minutes or less!
Quote
I need smaller size sticks. I have a small dog and he LOVES "his" bully sticks however the bags of sticks I received from online were predominantly very large sticks, apparently from very well endowed bulls. My poor dog couldn't even get enough in his mouth to chew on it, very frustrating for him. When I find them at a warehouse I pick through the bags looking for predominantly small sticks, which I have found. I moved and, alas, can't find them at all at the warehouse in my new town so I went online. Is there anything I can do?
Quote
I've been buying bully sticks for my dogs for several years now, and love the fact they last a long time, help clean their teeth, and are safe. What I didn't like was the variability in size of other brands that sell them by length and count. A bag with 25 x 12" bully sticks could contain sizable sticks or pencil thin ones. More often than not, they were on the thinner side. Cadet sells them by weight, which is perfect. You will get more sticks if they are thinner, and less if they are thicker. I think this is very fair. Costco price is the best I could find online.
Quote
Hi, I buy these bully sticks all the time. My daughter was buying them at her Costco and sending them to me. Yaaaa I found them online now I can order my own. My dog loves these, they are his favorite treat. Some are large and some are smaller. What my dog loves most about them is they are not smooth. They have lots of warts (bumps) on them and that is his favorite.
Quote
Hmmmm! would like to know who tasty these, says in description wholesome and good tasting, was this a human or dog?? My dogs love the bull sticks have purchased several bags from Costco great price compared to everyone else. "They do stink to high heaven when they are chewing on them" Last a long time, even Great Dane has a treat that last, rest are gone in a second or two...will buy from Costco over and over again.

I'm planning on using a harness for walks because the human recommended that or that I'd need to get a somewhat unique collar given her head/body sizing. I'll find a collar that's just for that Sonics tag and her ID. These harnesses all seem adequate.

The kibble she is currently on is Fromm (and I rotate through the proteins) and a couple of spoonfuls of canned food, this time around I bought Evanger’s. But don’t feel like you have to keep her on that – there are tons of good dog foods. I usually look them up here –

Also crate training your dog is the easiest and most important thing you can do for her and yourself.
Post by: Trim on November 11, 2016, 02:09:36 AM
As with everything I'm not an expert on, my point is that I just want to be told by the human that's been feeding this dog for 3 months exactly what she's found works best and I'll blindly keep doing that vs. researching alternatives or g'n af about how much it is. I stick to directions well.
I got a softshell (?) somewhat portable crate that I expect I'll have set up most if the time but I don't know how much I'll insist on using it. I gathered Betty doesn't eff w/things in the house, but I'll have it in case. It was more for trying to use on trains, users, boats, etc. before I'd have to resort to buying that service dog harness.
Exciting day tomorrow! I've even already made my first sacrifice by declining an afternoon Sergio binge sesh so I could get everything cleaned up here and not be hung over.
Sergio's drinking again.

Trim, dogs eat their own crap so your choice of dog food at this point isn't really important. sys is also giving you bad advice, my dog has the luxury of having 168 acres that he uses every day yet we still have to keep him on a diet. I don't do all of the work with and for this dog for him to die early of diabetes. He got a good dice roll, that has nothing to do with your dog.

Sys' advice wasn't necessarily bad. He told Trim what his own experience was. There are plenty of dogs out there that manage their portion control just fine. There are also plenty of dogs out there who would attempt to eat an entire bag of food in one sitting, if they have the opportunity. Some breeds are more prone to be gluttons than others.

are they great companions? sure, that doesn't make them the brightest bulbs in the socket
dog's mind's eye: is that food? hmm, i'm not sure. i will eat it just in case and i will keep eating it in case it goes away or in case i'm never fed again. wow this tastes more like a rubber hose than food but i'll eat it anyway b/c it kinda tastes good

I bought 2 bags of what I guessed was the correct Fromm stuff. One should be here by the time the human is so I'll know if it's the same stuff and exactly how much to dole out. She's also bringing pumpkin I think that she says is good to mix in when changing foods.

Our dog had one of those self feeder things that just keep doling out the food as they eat it (no portion control whatsoever) and she never over ate. So I agree with pmshead that it depends on the dog.

She's crate-trained according to the description and human, but the human doesn't force her to a crate when the human leaves. So I guess the crate's just there if she wants it to chill in. I'll be putting her bed in the crate so I guess that'll make it more enticing.
She's still listed for adoption right now, which I guess confirms to me how janky that process has been for the last few months.

If I'm open to alternatives, what do I say in the meantime? I don't think I'd want her to go nameless for that long, so we'd probably need to have a one-off online auction. Don't I need a name for her when I get her licensed and to the vet and stuff like that?

dogs are wolves and wolves are evolved to go days wo eating; it's no big deal if she doesn't eat for a day or two. she'll eat whenever her hunger reaches a point in her mind where it's more important than her anxiety about being in a new place and/or having to eat in cramped quarters.
she'll crap when she has enough newly digested food in her large intestine that some needs to come out.

Do I leave the same bowl of food out for however long that takes or do I need to replace it w/fresh (?) stuff after a bit?
Post by: sys on November 12, 2016, 05:08:09 PM
i wouldn't move her bowl from where you want her to eat, but you can handfeed her individual kibbles if she has any interest in food. like not handfuls, just have her do something she knows how to do (sit, come, whatever) and give her a kibble as if it was a treat.
Post by: Trim on November 12, 2016, 05:19:04 PM
The human didn't have feeding times. She said she'd put out 2 cups of dry w/some wet mixed in, twice a day, and that Betty/Payton would have eaten it all before the next time she'd put a new cycle out.
I put the bowls back where I'd prefer them. They're perfectly sized so that I can put them all the way towards the back of the kitchen and the refrigerator door and a cabinet door open above them so I lose no space. I ordered one of those elevated bowl things thinking maybe that was a problem but I'll wait and exhaust all options w/the ground-level ones before finding a place for that contraption.
I hand-served her some water yesterday, when she wasn't drinking out of the bowl, which got me off-track thinking it was a bowl/location/height issue.

A mirror is going to make her think another dog is trying to eat her food.

Got all the sizing figured out so I can return a bunch of the extra crap I bought. Vet thinks Payton won't be interested in the crate as her own luxury apartment given her affinity for the bed and duck, but I'll probably keep it as a travel thing if it looks cool once I get it.
Vet gave her a bordetella vaccine after looking at all the texas vet paperwork, and said I have to take her back for another rabies shot next year. I was given a flea bill to feed her once we've got eating on point.
Just realized I forgot to ask about grooming/bathing. I know I'll be taking Payton back to that place to get her nails/claws trimmed, but I don't know how often. As to bathing, is it just convincing her to get in the tub and hosing her down with the Tobias guest room elite shower head?
*right as we got back to my place and went through the courtyard, she pulled over to the leafiest area and dropped a solid deuce, so maybe down another pound now :woot:

Also crate training your dog is the easiest and most important thing you can do for her and yourself.
the reasoning behind crating a dog extends beyond protecting your stuff. it gives them a sense of security, it's their doom cave in their mind's eye
Exactly right.
she probs needs a real crate but whateves. she will not want to use it unless she's been crate trained. otherwise she will hate your unholy guts until she gets used to it and then all of the sudden it will be the coolest thing in the world to her, like her first apartment or whatever
I've received the crate, and she's terrified by it, as I expected given her aversion to tight spaces. I've got it set up w/all 3 side doors and the ceiling open, her preferred bed and duck in it, and I even tried putting the ham strips she craves in w/it. She won't have anything to do with it. I picked her up and put her in while the sides were closed and as soon as I opened 1 barely, she darted out.
She doesn't eff w/anything in my place. She loves her open-air doom cave apartment that is her bed in a specific spot in my living room, with her duck on it. Is there any reason to keep rough ridin' with this thing? Everything I read on dog expert sites matches what was said on here as far as the benefits being 1) keeping her contained if necessary and 2) giving her her own space. Neither seem necessary, and the latter seems traumatic to her.
The only benefit I can see of forcing her to deal w/this is that on the rare occasions it's necessary for travel or something, she'll be tolerant of it.

Yes
So far she's good in the front seat or the back of my jeep when the back seat's folded up. I'm gonna move some stuff around so I can fold the back seat back and throw her new favorite towel back there and have her sit back there. Seems safest.
Yeah, around town I make her stay in the back. On longer trips I'll let her in the front seat as long as she lays down

One of my buddy's pit-mixes freaks the eff out if you drive over rumble strips. Goes apeshit. Kinda annoying. I only know this because he also did not crate train his dog and when we went camping the dog had to ride in the cab.
Our dog does the same thing along with attacking windshield wipers. Was crate trained though, more cause he's a terrier and wants to defend against anything.
Post by: Trim on November 17, 2016, 03:15:44 PM
I probably shouldn't press my luck, but she picks the most difficult things to pick poop out of to poop on. There's a giant thing of turf that would be incredibly easy for me to see and retrieve that stuff, but she goes into this more nature-y area next to it and finds some leaves or plants to dump on, to where I can barely find it or easily get it. I suppose the benefit is when I can't, it won't be obvious to the hundreds of people potentially looking at me that I didn't.
Lots of progress going on here!

Yep. Most of them are working out for my purposes, and the ones that are frustrating seem to work themselves out after a few days of me trial & error'n a happy medium. So far, so good.
I need to get out to the dog park more and places where I can get her off leash but contained, so that I can get confident in being able to reign her in. There's options for her to play w/other dogs at the bars and especially in my courtyard, but we're not supposed to have them off leash and I'm not confident in being able to quell a problem if it came up. I let her off once and she did a bunch of turbo laps and tired out so I could get her easily. When other dogs come in and are off-leash or on a retractable, I want to let her play but I'm not ready to let her off leash, so the other dogs kind of eff w/her b/c they're free-range.
Last night, she was ready to sleep and I took her out so she could go to the bathroom. She was just about to go and some dude came in w/his dog on one of those retractable leashes that he kept letting in and out and it disrupted Payton's whole routine. I tried to let them play for a bit but the dude's dog was being a eff so I wanted to take Payton away and start over when they were done, but he kept letting the rough rider retract after us. I had to tell the weirdo that it was after 10 and I'm just trying to get us all to bed and he was all mad that I wouldn't let this brand-new dog on a 6-foot leash be buckwild w/his fucko dog.
I've had a lot less tolerance for street people and drifting tourists and non-space-aware locals too since this. Payton's gonna have me choking someone soon. I'm gonna end up being her X-Man instead of her Kemp.

If they keep them out of the street thereby preventing them from getting run over they are absolutely good for dogs.

Definitely need to get her more off leash time, but the leash is gonna be a necessity almost all of the time outside of my apartment for now. It's dangerous for a dog out in these skreets. I'll love it when we can get to a point where she can be off leash inside public places like bars and the apartment courtyard and I'd have no problem keeping her in check when something pops off.

there are all sorts of other ways to reward an animal if you really want to move away from food. play is the other big one that people like to use. it works well for dogs with a high prey drive. but any resource that she wants more of than she has and that you control access to can be a training reward.
i thought the whole point of not getting a pup was that wanted a dog already trained to some degree? you shouldn't need to reward shitting.
Post by: Trim on November 18, 2016, 05:49:01 PM
Today, when we came back from shitting, I didn't take her off leash right away inside and we sat in the kitchen until she ate. Once she starts eating, she kills the whole bowl quick. I immediately rewarded her w/treat food.
I don't know why I reward shitting. Just seemed like a good idea. She knows to go outside for sure. I guess I'm just trying to positively reinforce the whole process of her cooperating in going outside or letting me know she needs to and getting the job done out there. I'll try doing the playtime out there, which goes back to being able to get her off the leash. We're gonna go put in some extra time at the dog park tonight.

you should probably just stop rewarding her unless she becomes an bad person
That's what's been so counter-intuitive to me this week. I've been wanting to reward her when she's doing good stuff (even expected good stuff) to keep that train rolling, and I want to be an bad person to her when she's being an bad person but it feels like a bad idea to be bad person'n this early.

going forward i wouldn't reward after feeding. pooping, i would just reward her verbally. also a little activity will shake the bowels loose. if i want mine to poop (like say she hasn't pooped all day but i'm about to go out for the evening) then i just throw the ball for a min or two and she'll have to stop and poop.
Post by: Trim on November 18, 2016, 06:27:00 PM
you can over-reward a dog. food rewards are mostly about communicating what you want her to do to her. once she gets the idea, she doesn't need constant rewards to do it.
Got it. I'll take some to the park or when we're out and about and I'm trying to command her to do what I want, but I'll quit food-rewarding her just because she's making me happy doing regular dog stuff.
I saw the bull dicks at costco a couple days ago, but bought some softer chicken/apple sausages instead. She seems to do better with the soft stuff; she's not one to get a bone or something and gnaw on it for a while.
Post by: Trim on November 18, 2016, 06:29:45 PM
you don't really have to be much of an bad person. a stern tone and harsh look does a lot to a dog as far as correcting bad behavior. so far it doesn't sound like she's had bad behavior though.

That makes sense, but the snags I've run into are her food stubbornness generally and my limited options on getting her off leash and free to play. And I'm hesitant to be too stern w/her because it seems so likely she's probably been around some bad people pre-Seattle, just with how jumpy she is sometimes.

the big trend in training these days is positive only reinforcement. i don't agree with that necessarily, i think there's a place for fear as motivation, but i do think it's best to lean much heavier on the positive stimuli. in general, my feeling is that positive is really good at helping them do stuff you want them to, and and negative is good at getting them to not do stuff you don't want them to.
Post by: star seed 7 on November 18, 2016, 06:51:32 PM
it's probably a good idea not to be too stern at first. she barely knows you.

yes.
and as far as being stern, i'm just meaning like you she her do something you don't like, immediately say "NO" in a slightly raised voice. not like a scream or something, but just in a stern voice to stop the action, and then that's it. after she stops the action then go back to being nice, it doesn't need to last more than a moment.
but, you also haven't really said she has any bad behaviors, so maybe it's not applicable right now. as she becomes more comfortable she'll probably start testing a little.

She's still only using the courtyard as a bathroom, but there also still hasn't been a need for her you try elsewhere. Might change tomorrow when we pak for the game. Should def change thanksgiving when we're out in the suburbs, probably overnight.
I got her a kids' small sonics shirt and cut it up so she could wear it backwards,but she won't walk far in it, at least not at regular speed. I think it's still to restrictive. I'm gonna try cutting the back (her front) all the way down and try it like a vest.

1) They are very popular, therefore there are lots of breedings around, and they are also very diverse. You can find 75 lb GSP's and you can find 35 lb GSP's. Some are athletic and fast and wide ranging, some are more mopey and plodding and slow boot lickers. Really you can get any flavor you'd like. And like pointers/setters, you can get a nice puppy for $600, but you could spend more if it were a breeding you absolutely wanted.
2) They are generally pretty tough dogs, handle pain well, don't take too much water, aren't a pain in the ass maintenance wise. Many you could run 6 hours a day.
3) Generally strong retrieving and "hunt dead" desire. Makes a great "one dog guy" kind of dog. The right dog can do it all, but it's a generalist, so it might not retrieve like a lab, or find birds like a setter. Every one I have been around has had a pretty good nose, "birdy" dogs for sure.
I like the white ones with some spotting or ticking in the 45-50 pound range.

I since read this can all be a side effect of the particular flea stuff I gave her. I emailed the vet, who said she's not seen that before but would note it and to come in if it lasted a few more days. Then I called the dog trainer, who we had a complimentary session set for this afternoon, to cancel. When I told her what was going on, she instantly knew of the side effect to that particular medicine and how it would only happen the first time and that the sickness would be just like a 48-hour flu.
Why does the dog trainer at some generic suburban petsmart know all that, but the vet doesn't?

At that vet visit, they gave me what I thought would be a pill for fleas. I finally gave it to her Sunday and it turned out to be a relatively big, chewy thing. It took a while for me to get her to go for it. Next day, she wasn't eating well and was straining while shitting. She also wasn't being so picky about where to piss, which I thought was a good thing (free-range, albeit outside). By last night, she was liquid shitting (diarrhea) and generally seemed human flu-like. Carried on to this morning. I think she was associating the flavor food from when it started with being sick; I was able to get her to eat a different flavor, so that's good.

crap's getting solid'r. Not solid enough for me to even attempt to pick up out of the bushes it melt-merged into, but solid'r.Dogs get sick, it happens. Usually when they do it shows up as diarrhea. I know when I got my first pup I was constantly worried about her. But 99% of the time it's just a day or two, or something weird they ate, or in your case a side effect of medicine.

She just shat pretty well, both to wear I could and had to pick it up as it was visibly sitting atop these palm-ish leaves in the courtyard.
I gotta figure out now how to get her to eat the flavor of food she's associating with getting sick. I'm trying to mix the 2 I have so she gets over the aversion. I remember having the same thing with burger king for years after it was the last thing I ate before having my first bad radiation sesh.
Is it natural for them to lick their asses (for cleaning?) after shitting? I've been discouraging it, but maybe they're already evolved for it.

I might buy some of those wall-mounted purell dispensers from costco.
if she isn't taking the hint with the paper towels, i doubt if she'll take advantage of the purell either.

if you give her bones, i'd watch to make sure she seems to know like she knows what she's doing with it (basically settles down to gnaw in a relaxed fashion and not trying to gulp it down before you change your mind and take it away from her) and just prolly only give her bones when you're around to see if she has a problem.

trim have you been accosted by lovely ladies yet because of peyton? i bring my neighbor's pup down to the falloon patio and the lovely ladies just line up. pups are the real deal panty droppers.
Payton just split the double-team of 2 super-sterotypical euro ladies in the most touristy of places, the gum wall. One was even wearing a red beret, which I didn't even think happened in real life. Non-beret pet'd Payton down for a while, babbling in some other language besides english or dog.

In college we had some dog jerky treat things, decided to eff with people and put them in a zip lock back. People ate them and said they weren't that bad, so we tried them and they weren't the worst thing ever. Very bland, but probably better than having a strong shitty flavor.

I was hoping that Dexter's mild separation anxiety would start to subside as he settled in to living with me, but it looks like I'm going to have to work with him to break it. It should be fun. Who wants to help me shop for toys?My parents dog has such bad separation anxiety, that he licks his paws to death and has scars now from licking the same places over and over. :frown:

I switched it up and bought these mint ones last time, thinking if the goal is teeth/breath stuff, that "mint" is better than "beef." She was all fired up and took it, gave me her WTF look and chewed on it for like 15 seconds before spitting it out and leaving it to lay on the ground all day.

I'd bought some chewy treat things that were for sneaking pills inside of, back when I thought the pill I had to give her that gave her the shits was a "pill." I'd given her one of the treats sans pill just to get her accustomed to them, and she promptly spit that one out too. You gotta come with the flavors she craves, not just any treat thought suitable for a dog.

This sidewalk thing really has me vexed. Like, she knows it's unacceptable to crap inside. She knew for weeks to crap on grass or grass-ish things. In fact, she'd go into the deeper of grass in the courtyard and once in my buddy's yard. So, it's like she wants a touch of privacy. Yet, she's also fine with just setting up shop in the middle of a busy sidewalk when there's trees and such all around. I can't imagine there's issues with not being able to hold it, as she's had crap options in the courtyard immediately prior to shidewalk shits. Today's happened when we were like a minute from getting back to the courtyard. WTF?

Post by: Trim on December 12, 2016, 06:23:09 PM
tell me a little more about when (when in the outing) she is shitting and where she has gone before and where she is going next. she is on leash for the entire outing?
When we're outside, the only time she's off leash is in the courtyard area and just for a little bit when I see there isn't anyone out there, or when there's other dogs out there and everyone's in agreement the dogs can play off leash.
When we're going out for a walk in the city, I will always walk her around the courtyard for a bit first so she can piss or poop. Sometimes she does, sometimes she doesn't. Today for example, she just stood there bored af in the courtyard, while angling towards the door to the outside that to me indicated she was ready to walk. We walked for about 10 minutes with no issues and were just about back when she suddenly shat. There have been other times when she suddenly shat within a couple minutes of the walk. On all occasions, she would have recently passed a tree on a cutout of grass or dirt that would've been better for shitting on.
Before and after these problem times, she shits in various acceptable places in the courtyard, whether that's from the shame or because I've been scared to even allow her to go for walks until I thought we were over the problem.
What I want her to do is crap in the most acceptable areas, either when the opportunity presents itself most times or to hold it until we're back there, or at least go to a grass/dirt/tree area if the need to crap arises mid-walk.

i'd also guess that there is something about walking around where you walk her that she doesn't consider ideal for shitting, so she's probably holding off until a better time. then when she sees that you're heading back home she has to abandon her preferences and just evacuate where she can. it may be the leash, it may be you aren't walking her to where she wants to crap, or the area is too busy or maybe you walk her in different directions and sometimes you go where she wants but sometimes you don't and she can't predict it.
the shitting on the sidewalk early in the walk doesn't really fit with that so much. but i'd still lean that way. at least with the having decided the courtyard is too close part.
Post by: sys on December 12, 2016, 06:48:43 PM
What is the appropriate negative reinforcement thing to do instantly if/when she's shitting in the sidewalk, that won't have the humans that thing she's cute regardless of what she's doing calling the cops on me?
if you can pick her up with out getting the ass part of her near you, just pick her up and move her to where you want her. that will beth move the crap before it comes out (hopefully) and she won't like it, so it's a negative stimulus.

you have to teach it. to me it's easier to just figure out what they want to do, but if you want to control her shitting, it's pretty easy. dogs don't preserve much dignity in the face of food.
Post by: Trim on December 12, 2016, 06:50:39 PM
i think she's decided that the courtyard is too close to where she lives for acceptable shitting so she's avoiding it (when she first arrived, she prolly wasn't real sure where she was living or where would be a good place for shitting, now that she's had a while to figure it out, she's made her decision and it's not the courtyard).

Hmmm, other than the 4-6 sidewalk shits (1 when she was sick, the rest this last week), and once on the thanksgiving trip to my buddy's yard, every crap has been in the courtyard. And in places within the courtyard that she doesn't play in. Including like 10 minutes ago. The deeper rough areas of the courtyard are def her preferred crap spots.

No way. She doesn't like getting picked up period, there isn't always an appropriate spot that I'd be able to get her do, the 1st of the crap's already out (like we're walking fine and then I'll notice for one second she's not on my pace and I'll look and she's squatted over with crap out) and I'm not at all confident I could avoid the crap on me.

is she given any other choice of places to crap on the occasions when she shits in the courtyard? do you want her to crap in the courtyard or elsewhere?
Post by: Trim on December 12, 2016, 07:12:11 PM
There are a few tree/dirt spots on the lower street level that would work well too, but she's never taken advantage of them, even though they're earmarked for shitting in that they have city-provided poop bag dispensers and receptacles.
I'd be fine with anyplace that humans aren't traversing through, but the courtyard and spots right around my building are better of course so that me letting her crap doesn't always involve having to walk somewhere.
But in the event we're away from the building and she needs to crap, I'd like her to crap in the dirt/grass/tree things that are usually no more than 40 feet away from any spot. However, I don't think on these sidewalk occasions that she's truly NEEDED to crap. There's no way given the timing of them that it's been a matter of us getting to the end of the crap tank at those very moments.

while she's actually pooping in the courtyard repeat "poop time", or whatever phrase you want, a few times and do it every time until she gets it. i use "go poop" "go pee" and when she's just dicking around in the morning she gets a "go potty". it probably all sounds the same to her, but it works thankfully. used to live in a limited acceptable pooping area like you and it made life much easier to train her to do it on command. doesn't really matter now that i can put her in the backyard for 20 minutes and let her do whatever tf she wants.
but your dog also hates me so making her poop probably isn't going to gain me any favors

I did all that. How long does it take? Will it eventually get to a point where she won't crap unless I say it?
Post by: sys on December 12, 2016, 07:26:30 PM
assumptions - 1) she likes going for walk, 2) she hasn't crap in the house.
that doesn't solve the shitting on the sidewalk when she doesn't need to crap issue, but it should pretty quickly get her to take a crap anytime you take her to the courtyard. if you want to turbocharge the learning process, give her a little food as you leash her up for the walk and a couple of times along the walk.
Post by: sys on December 12, 2016, 07:29:44 PM
if you're ok socially with dealing with the crap later, than just moving immediately to the walk is fine.

More often than not, she's leashed during the courtyard shits, so it's just a matter of bagging and disposing of the crap. But I can take a treat out to give her for that interim time before we'd move on to a walk. And I guess I can simultaneously be trying the verbal command stuff too.
The only downside to all that are times when I want to go for a walk with her at a moment and don't want to wait for her to crap. And I like to take her out for walks a lot. Like most times if I'm walking somewhere, so is she.

It wouldn't address the sidewalk thing, but I'm thinking that maybe I'd been taking her out too many times. I'd been wondering about what sys said about how she'd eventually crap each time out to the courtyard, and how that would be a lot given how often she goes out for piss only. Maybe if I cut back on the total times out, everything will sync up. She's been just fine w/only 2 outings today so far.

Maybe she just doesn't have to crap ever-y-time you go outside.
That's known. The issue is figuring out how to prevent her from randomly and suddenly shitting on the sidewalk. Thus far, the only surefire way is to not go on the sidewalk unless she's already crap in the courtyard, which sucks.
Post by: Trim on December 15, 2016, 05:15:32 PM
Took her out this morning. She shat, I chanted, we walked. Took her out about an hour ago b/c we needed to go somewhere, she pissed twice, wouldn't crap, we went anyway. Walked about a mile or so, heading back, and she just stops and shits not on a traditional sidewalk but in the middle of this plaza area that the whole city walks through en route to the stadium (or marches through, in soccer's stupid case).
mocat, the artisan coffee place is on the left.

also a mile walk is plenty long to shake poop loose. she probably waits as long as she can and then unloads from the activity.
That doesn't explain when she does it like a minute after leaving the courtyard or why it's on the sidewalk out of nowhere instead of in an acceptable area that was/is steps away.

I still don't have any idea when I can know anything's been accomplished to where I can go out w/her even if she doesn't crap first, and know that she won't sidewalk-crap and put us back at square 1.

after she shits in the courtyard, is she acting like she expects a walk asap?
I don't think so. Because of the time it takes me to bag and dispose, I've been instantly giving her a treat, and she eats while I clean up. It's always a minute or two before we're walking. She does seem to expect an immediate treat now though when shitting in the courtyard.

Work on rewarding the hell out of her for whatever command you want to poop. My dog knows "potty"/leak and "more potty"/duce. Works pretty well to get her to go when she is out on a walk and I get her in a spot I want her to crap in. It's weird, but you have to celebrate her shitting in the right spot, while repeating your catch phrase, like she is making a renaissance masterpiece.
Yes, I understand the concept.

Then why are you talking about punishing your pup?
1) The punishment talk is re: when she nonetheless shits on the sidewalk, as a way to dissuade that specific event, not as a way to encourage on-demand crap.
2) The whole thing you described is what we've been discussing for a few pages and that I said hasn't worked at all.

I don't think you should be really approaching anything negative at this point if it's only been a week or two. Depending on breed it can take a long while. It seems like you are looking for a quick lesson for your pup to pick up on. I assume she is pretty young? Sorry if this was another page back.
Post by: Trim on December 21, 2016, 12:50:12 PM
Since, I've been attempting to train the on-demand shitting, and so far it's been ineffective. I've also been simply not taking her out of the courtyard until after she shits, which has "worked" in that she hasn't crap on a sidewalk (and possibly has even shown she's not going to), but isn't a great solution in that it limits when we can walk and forces walks when not wanted. It also means that she's not shitting outside of courtyard world in any of the thousands of places that would be fine for her to.

So I apparently can't take her away from my building unless she happens to crap first. crap on command isn't happening, and there's apparently no possible negative consequence for when she shits on concrete. Seriously, if one of you people thinks you can fix this, let's work out a deal to have you come up and do so. I'm sick of reading the internet about how this theoretically should be solved.
Post by: KCFDcat on December 24, 2016, 10:55:25 PM
Needing to get to a spot for the game, I ran her around the courtyard and even around the building to try to shake the crap loose. Nope. Out of time, walked her down towards the stadium among many seahawks fans going (marching?) that way too. She crap in the middle of walking across a street and trailed it up onto the sidewalk. Couldn't even pick it all up between the wetness and cars running over the street crap. Humans were no help in the shame game. Even the ones that stepped in the crap and subsequently saw the crap'r Payton were all "oh was that from youuuuuuuuu? Cute dog!!!" because she was in her 'hawks jersey.If it truly upsets you this much, I'd suggest hiring a dog trainer to work with her. We had one that worked with our dog for the entire first year of her life. Shes not perfect, but she's a hell of a lot better than most 2 yr old dogs.

I'd only be interested in a live-in trainer who stays until the job is 100% done and successful, and where in the meantime the trainer bears the brunt of cleaning up all sidewalk shits. I obviously don't believe that that any training of how to theoretically solve the problem will affect her suddenly shitting on 1st avenue in real life.
Post by: sys on December 25, 2016, 03:23:21 AM
if you want to punish the pavement shitting, i still think the picking her up method is the way to go. it will look benign to random humans in the area, but she will hate it. you could kick her in the neck instead. she will hate that too, but you'll probably get arrested. maybe better than punishing her is to keep a close eye on her when you suspect shitting. usually dogs will give you a little bit of indication and that's your cue to run/drag her to some vegetation.
Post by: Trim on December 25, 2016, 04:47:34 AM
no walks without shitting first. not until she's ready. let her off the leash in the courtyard.
i still think the picking her up method is the way to go...maybe better than punishing her is to keep a close eye on her when you suspect shitting. usually dogs will give you a little bit of indication and that's your cue to run/drag her to some vegetation.
I let her off leash in the courtyard all the time. I don't see that it has any significant effect on crap'n. The problem with the "no walks" concept in this training is that walks are the only alternative to bed #life. Like, a walk isn't some fun outing, it's how we get anywhere. So no walk means imprisonment. I don't think this training concept works here. For example, Saturday, we had no choice but to walk b/c out of time. Tuesday, she has a bath appointment across downtown. Am I to take her to the courtyard an hour early in the hopes she shits and I can reward her with the walk we have to take regardless and possibly end up there an hour early? It all still depends currently on her whim to crap. And I'm not even sure I want to warp her mind to crap only in the courtyard. I want her to crap when she needs to crap, just in a dog appropriate spot.
I've been able to train sitting, shaking hands, getting in her shirts/coats, etc. because I can force those actions to happen and be able to reinforce them. I can't force crap, and I certainly can't prevent crap.
No, there is no warning, no way to suspect shitting. She walks like normal and then stops and shits. This latest one was mid-crossing a street, so obviously no warning sign.
Like the hypothetical aggieville death trap sidewalk trees, downtown seattle has dog crap cutouts of the pavement ever-y-where, some even with city-provided shitbag dispensers. That's ultimately the mystery: why in the courtyard when she shits, does she find the grassiest, most dignified green space to drop her load, yet in the real world, she foregoes all that for shitting in the worst spots possible among humans?

I'm guessing some of this behavior may be from anxiety or something. Like she gets super anxious around a large groups of people and feels the need to drop a deuce.

I've considered that but there's no consistency to the theory. She didn't do it the first 3 weeks or so, and even the first few times she's done it, it's been with few people around (just on a spot that would be heavily marched on by people).

Not related to crap, I then went to put her to bed like she was indicating she wanted, but when she saw me going back out to the bar, she hopped up and insisted on coming too.
Then once back at home, she woke me up w/barking that I think was prompted by the night staff sliding something under my door, as when we went outside, she just pissed a tiny amount and went right back up to bed.
I think whatever is causing the sidewalk shits is some undetectable (to me) psychological thing that is happening at those moments.

Latest data point: took her to the courtyard way early before the aforementioned appointment. No piss, no crap. She'd pissed in the morning. Cautiously walked her to the appointment w/o incident. Pushed my luck after I picked her up by going even further from my place to a bar I knew allowed dogs. Not long after leaving there, and after she passed up plenty of grass/tree things, she started shitting while walking on the sidewalk. I was able to pull her over a bit to the parking lot we were adjacent to, but she still left some nuggets on the sidewalk, and it's not like the parking lot was that better of a spot.
But for her having sidewalk crap that time this week after courtyard crap'n, I'd know the problem is what I laid out above. Whatever it is, it's out of my skillset. Time to throw money at this situation. It'll be a hell of an email I send to the trainer prospects.

Something like:
"Hi. I'm not interested in any of your classes or anything. My dog behaves adequately in every area except one - she shits on the sidewalk while walking sometimes and there's no discernible rhyme or reason to it. Please quote me your rates on coming to my house for as long as it takes to figure this out and get it fixed up. T-Y."

If you think sidewalk shitting is bad. Dexter's separation anxiety has manifested itself as car pissing now. It doesn't matter how I try to prep him for a car ride right now, nor the length of the trip, nor how I interact with him during the trip. He is going to pee. Yesterday I played fetch with him for 20 minutes. He moved his bowels and pissed several times. I gave him a treat, we got in the car and made a 10 minute trip to the bank drive thru. I had him lay down in the passenger seat so I could pet him and talk to him throughout the trip. He didn't get up for the whole trip so I thought we finally had success. Nope, he had just peed on himself and laid in it instead.It's OK pms we have a miniature schnauzer that poops where ever because it is old and you will just find turds around the house

Yes, my vehicle is too small for it to fit it in there set up, if that is what you are getting after. He still displays a lot of signs of anxiety even at my house where he has mostly settled in now. It's just going to take a lot of work. I think he spent far more time in a shelter than they led me to believe when I adopted him. Pit Bulls are known for having anxiety issues fairly bad, anyway. He will get there eventually.

Yes and no, I'm no longer in a tiny apartment. I have moved into a town home. We have a decent sized front yard that he can play off leash in, if I am outside with him. He doesn't spend a lot of the time in the crate anymore now that my roommates have warmed up to him. He bounces from room/ companion to room/ companion as we have to leave for work responsibilities or what have you.
The plan is to renew the lease at this place one more time, then move to the outskirts so that I can rent a place with a fenced in yard for him to play in and adopt him a friend. We spend a lot of time over at a coworker's place right now. He has a large fenced in backyard and a lab mix that is about the same size. They play really well together. Dexter is the most at ease when he has that other dog around. It has been over there were he completely relaxes that I have been able to make the most progress with him training wise.

She's good at sleeping now. I have a GSP just over 1 y.o. that will go all day and crash around 9pm. First fall on wild birds was a blast. Wife is getting her own in February.

We do. But she wants to work a dog as well. Our dog now sees me as the Alpha.

Rubes is definitely the nickname of choice. Trying to stick to Ruby till she gets her name figured out. I will be doing some pre training for a few weeks, then sending her to a buddy's house to get her schooling. I got her from a guy that runs a guide service south of KC who's dog had more pups in her litter than what he wanted to keep.

So my thought was that with the longbone, she'd realize there's no chance she could eat the whole thing and just eat a reasonable amount, and come back to it later w/o me having to repossess it a bunch of times. Should that work? Will the size of this thing be problematic, or is it just more of a good thing?

This story is related to the #longbone above. I wish I could find more toys for him to play with. The only things he shows interest in the majority of the time are bully sticks and stuffed animals.
He has stopped the car-peeing for now. I purchased a different enzyme based cleaner than what I was using and I think that got rid of his previous pee smells. He seems to be enjoying car rides more now, as well. I think he's stopped associating them with being left at the shelter and now thinks of them as what happens before he gets to go play with his friend.

Payton isn't into toys either, at least not as they're to be used. She doesn't do the bite/pull thing at all; all those toys are worthless other than for things to chew on. She chews on the parts humans are to hold because they're easier to mouf grip. She doesn't fetch for crap, but likes playing with fetching dogs and being a linebacker when the other dog tries to take the ball back to their human.
So far, I like what I'm seeing from her and this longbone.

Her best friend here is more refined and is confused why Payton won't play with the ball like normal, but is adapting to playing Payton's style. They have a good time out there.

Dexter did not fetch at all for a while either. I had to coach him up. I started with a stuffed squirrel that he liked. I would take if from him and throw it, wait for him to come back to the couch, steal the squirrel back, get him excited about it, and throw it again. We did that for a while until he started bringing the toy back to me. Once he figured out the return part of it, we moved outdoors and started the process over with a nylon mesh frisbee toy designed for dogs. Fetch is one of his favorite activities now. It's one of my favorites too because he's athletic as crap but still uncoordinated.

I haven't found anything she likes to keep in her mouth or really anywhere on her for long enough to warrant going to get it if I take it and throw it. For a little bit, the squeaky football worked, but she lost interest in the ball entirely after a couple days. Also, her instinct when she gets possession of anything from anywhere/one is to take it back to her bed, not back to where it came from.

Dexter did that too when I started trying to teach him fetch. I just followed him to his bed and played tug of war for a bit. I'd wait for him to get worked up a bit while playing tug of war, take possession of the toy from him, toss, and repeat. Once he learned that he might as well bring me the toy, we switched to playing fetch with designated toys. I keep his fetch toys in a closet now and he goes berserk whenever he sees you pull one out.

If you got the right person, a person would be better. But getting the right person might be tricky so you are going to get more consistent results choosing a hotel. Also, once you chose one, you should stick with the same place (unless it is terrible) so she gets used to the place and people for future trips.

I don't plan to do this often. I'm gonna try my best to find the best of shitty options for her to fly with me direct to FattyFest, and even if I can't, I'll probably have my preferred known people that can take her in then.
So as I'm an excellent Judge, I think I'm gonna try to pick one of those people from the rover thing based on their appearance and self-marketing. Higher ceiling for Payton's enjoyment and almost certainly will produce better #coverage here of however it plays out.

She seems to hate the "surf & turf" flavor of the artisan dog food. I'm used to her taking a day off of eating about every 10 days now for whatever reason and then eating double the next day, but even when she's not on that off-day and if she's not on her catch-up day, if the surf & turf's in the bowl, she just picks at it and eats 1/2 at best. It's weird b/c I love human artisan surf & turf myself.
I've been trying to get rid of the last of the surf & turf by putting out about 40% s&t and 60% flavor she craves. Today, she was plugging away on it alright and came over for her dessert reward, and I saw she'd left about 10% of the meal in the bowl, all s&t. No dessert!

I send my dog to hunt with buddies all the time and it's no biggie. He doesn't give a crap, just wants to hunt. If we vacay they usually stay with a friend and get the royal treatment and don't want to come home.
Yeah, I don't question that she'll have fun with people catering to her whims. I don't want on Sunday for her to be thinking that's her new home and b/c life is moving to new people every 3 months.

I'll probably do that again next time. I like being able to just give them all the stuff and a short tips list and them being as flexible as I am w/her, vs. having to portion out meals for a kennel and her being on their schedule.

Dog Pawz on lee Blvd. we've had good experiences there. The dog 100% loves it and the people are always nice, plus they have cameras so you can watch your pup run around and play with other pups, which mrs kcfd loves.

Check out what Mrs. Gooch did to this giant bootleg Payton jersey I got! I mumped up and had her make the chest part too small which jacks up the sleeve/head hole relationship, so it's gonna need some slight mod'n to be fully functional, but it's close to being the GOAT dog gear.

Post by: Trim on April 09, 2017, 10:20:16 PM
She and one of her dog friends are out in the courtyard turf playing, and some other lady I see was walking to my building's door with her dog that she always keeps leashed while it stares at the fun dogs playing. She was saying she doesn't think her dog can be trusted to play and didn't want to try with all of them leashed b/c she was late for work. Then she realized she'd locked herself out (I'd had to let her in once in the past, when her roommate had their dog leashed up far away), so I go to let her in. I forgot Payton was off-leash playing and I see Payton's running over to me. The lady couldn't keep her cujo under control and they start going at it. When we finally got 'em separated, my friends saw Payton had blood on her tongue, and then that it was from licking a cut above her mouth on the right side. She seemed fine, but after I cleaned her up and then checked 10 minutes later, it was still bleeding so I took her to the ER vet just to be safe.
They found it was just the one puncture on the outside; it didn't go through to the inside of her mouth. There was an abrasion close by. They gave me some painkiller pills and a week of antibiotics that were supposed to start tonight, but always on a full meal. She looks like she's gonna be KO'd for the night already though so it'll have to start tomorrow. Hope she'll be hungry.

Not much success w/the painkillers, but she doesn't seem to be having any pain to kill. The bottle says to give up to 3 doses daily as needed. How tf would I know if she needs them?
Post by: Mrs. Gooch on April 10, 2017, 03:50:37 PM
She isn't missing a beat, other than the medicine making her a little drunk-appearing when wandering around. No aversion to dogs big or small either, but the doc told me to restrict her from playing hard until the hole's all healed up. It already looks quite a bit better.

Also if the vet gave her Tramadol (sp?) It's pretty much worthless. All it will do is make her lethargic. If she is eating and drinking now she is fine and I would toss the BS meds.

:thumbs: She's gonna hate those rough ridin' meatballs by the end of the week.
As expected, it got problematic towards the end of the week. Even normally, about once a week or so, she doesn't eat out of her bowls. Don't know if she's attempting a fasting diet or just gets sick of eating there or what, but I knew it would throw a wrinkle into giving her an antibiotic 2x/day on a full stomach. Last Thursday, she wouldn't eat out of the bowl, so I gave her little scoops of food right on her bed and she ate it all, then ate the antibiotic-filled meatball. Friday, no eating, and I didn't want to get her in a habit of eating off her bed, but she took the meatballs and I loaded her up w/treats to get her stomach full. Saturday morning, she was having nothing of anything, no food, no antibiotic. Took her to a dog party and she was so fired up she forgot and threw down an antibiotic meatball. Saturday night and Sunday morning, nothing. Those were to be the last 2. Tried peanut butter, chicken, etc. No dice. Called the ER vet who said to bring her up. ER vet got her to take the antibiotic in a second in peanut butter and confirmed Payton had either figured me out or I had a poker tell. Monday morning, no luck, got the bartender to give it to her no problem. All done. And she trusts me again w/meatballs that aren't filled w/drugs.

Dogs are awesome but also fuckers sometimes.
That last ER vet also gave me one of these to try on that Monday, which seemed crazy. If the dog didn't trust me with delicious meatballs and chicken, how tf was she going to allow me to jam this thing in her mouf. I was pretty jazzed when it didn't come to that after going to the bar.

Dude, it's a rough ridin' dog. Just grab the snout and shove it down there and close mouth and massage throat for swallow reflex.
I'd tried that too, but didn't know about throat massaging. Not sure that would've worked anyway. She's pretty stubborn. I'm satisfied going forward having the neighborhood take turns giving her the pills after she's figured me out.

She does piss out and about much more liberally now, usually in appropriate and discreet locations. I'd still like for her to crap that way too. It'll be interesting to see what happens when I move and she doesn't have her 2 favorite courtyard toilets anymore.
my dog crap on the patio at a bar near my house last weekend. I immediately thought of you.

She will be fine. She may get the shits. Even if she does do not freak out and run to the vet. If the loose stool lasts longer than a day then take her to a vet.
I forgot to check back here before taking her to the vet. They agree it's doubtful she drank much, if any, and to just keep an eye on her. Bought her a new bed.

Does your bet charge you for all these check ins? You've probably bought him/her a nice vacation in the last month alone.
No, but I bought a new bottle of ear cleaner while I was up there.

They say she goes straight to the bed after coming in from walks and getting unleashed and that they've been taking the pictures then and taking the harness off after.

Ask them for a photo at a random time to see if she still has the harness on.

Friday night, we were making a lap through the bar, and some mean, older lady started instructing me that I had to put Payton on a leash. She thought I worked there and was yelling about how she was a paying customer. Payton and I just walked unleashed back to the other side. Old lady left but then came back and was yelling at the bartender about it. Bartender explained that unleashed Payton and I stay. Lady said she's afraid she'll be it. Bartender said she hopes she gets bit by something, it won't be by Payton. Lady left permanently.This bar owner "gets it".

To get there, you walk across the intersection of 1st and Pike that fronts Pike Place. At that intersection, cars from all directions get stopped by the lights and it's an all-way pedestrian crossing. So on a nice, sunny day, in that big open space in my picture below, when the walk signal comes on, there's people everywhere in that intersection.
https://twitter.com/TrimGoEMAW/status/807105065219604484
We're walking across diagonally, and Payton stops dead in her tracks at dead-center and shits out the entire day's worth. I had to get the eff out the road, and wait for the next signal and have my friend hold her while I went back to get the crap. It was so dead-center, almost none had gotten touched by traffic.
She must have sensed my disappointment, and has since crap on leash in the courtyard last night and this morning.

The place I get her artisan food from has dog weed. The problem I'm having isn't so much during the fireworks themselves, but that now, especially as it turns dark at night, she associates the outside with that fireworks noises could start happening. She doesn't want to sleep on her bed that's near a usually open window. I finally got a compromise last night by moving the bed more to the center of the living room. I guess I can shawshank that thing over a few inches every night until it and her are back where they're supposed to be.

Dogs are stupid (in a good way) and have real short memories. She should forget about all this after a few days. The shawshank idea is spot on for moving the bed back. It's pretty hard to permanently traumatize a dog with just a few days of fireworks. Luckily you don't have to deal with thunder all that much so this trauma of loud noises should not be constantly reinforced.I'm taking her to Canada for the entire 4th of July week next year. rough ridin' fireworks.Just get some doggy Xanax from the vet.

How should I pepsi challenge these new foods along w/the OG artisan food to see what to roll with going forward?
I've read about how it's good to keep the food consistent. I don't think that'll be an issue for mine; I already rotate through 8 different varieties of the current artisan food. She seems to eat more enthusiastically when it's not the same flavors in her mouf.

apparently if you change dog foods, you should mix the new food in with the old food a few times to make the transition easier on the stomach. this is more for puppies than dogs iirc
I've read that, but I don't feel like that will help me learn what she likes best.
These new types shouldn't be causing any stomach trauma; they're all supposed to be very comparable ingredient-wise to the existing artisan.

Every time we switched our dog's food he would eat it like it was his favorite thing in the world, then throw up and eat it less than his old food. I wouldn't worry too much about preferences. If the food is nutritionally balanced and your dog eats it when they're supposed to I'd stick with what works.

I'd looked at amazon before and saw they could be had for closer to $20, so I passed on getting that one to come home and reevaluate.
https://www.amazon.com/Release-Swimming-Floatation-Brighted-ByHeroDog/dp/B071XXK177
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K4TUOQ6?th=1
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071L8SFT7?psc=1
The reviews for all of them are good. What's the deal?
I noticed when I got home that I'd bought so much artisan food that I now have a $20 credit, so I guess I could get the artisan life jacket for $60, but still.

good ears and good legs on that dog, mocat. how's his/her brain?Thank you sys. She has a v good brain, rivals my smart border collie (Jazz) from childhood. But she cares way less than borders care about stuff, like balls and frisbees and whatnot. She is however super into squirrels

:sdeek:
I'm gonna send her in her jersey next time so it's easy. I think she's in these, barely. Doesn't seem too impressed with the place.

I've got Payton at a day care place today to see if she does well there, in order to know if it can be a backup boarding place when known dogsitters aren't available. They just sent a "report card" with a bunch of pictures of the action there - there's a dog that looks identical so I can't even tell if there's any pics of mine - and lists the dogs and how they're behaving.

Yeah, I was surprised. They’re one of the only places I researched that didn’t. They also have screens on their windows that kept me from looking in over lunch. But, they’re the only place that had no horror stories on their yelp page. Which, now that I think about it, is kind of the justification for hiring oscar. eff.
Here’s the full rundown.

Rawhide bones. My dog loves them. Apparently they can be deadly? Thoughts?Yes my dog loved them, stopped giving them to her after we had to get one surgically removed from her stomach.
They’re also incredibly fatty and can cause weight issues if your dog struggles with that.

Gator has been Andy Bernarding in the back yard when we leave him outside to play. Today he escaped by crawling under the fence in a hole he's been digging since he got there. It's been covered up by leaves. Neighbors had to ring on my doorbell over lunch to let me know he had dug his way into their backyard. :lol: :bang:Gator the GOAT

4th of July's on a Wednesday next year. I'm driving us to Canada that Tuesday afternoon and staying up there until Sunday.
Booked, but going up the Wednesday morning and coming back Saturday, and going to Victoria instead of Vancouver. Beginning and end of the route include driving onto and riding a ferry. Marriott/SPG merged points worked out just right; she'll be pleased.

Is 95% about as high as it can get outside of police dogs? Or is that 5% chance not worth the risk of having him run off?
Also, this is never in the city, only out in the sticks.

You guys, my pup is like, pretty good at being off leash? Like, REALLY good about 95% of the time. But if he sees a rabbit or something he'll run off till he loses it (he's not very good at actually catching it). I've been training him by keeping a fuckton of treats on me and when I call him and he comes back, I give him one.

Also, this is never in the city, only out in the sticks.
impulse control is hard for younger dogs. 100% or close to it is very possible, but probably not under 1 year of age (i mean you can, but it's probably more hardcore than you want to do for something like this, but it's totally possible if it's something important.). and a little hard under 2.
you can probably get there with just positive reinforcement training, but adding negative reinforcement will make it much faster.

I think I'm going to make an appointment to have my 15 year wienie dog put down. I've been to the vet's website multiple times but haven't scheduled it yet. He's having seizures more and more often. He has severe separation anxiety when he can't find me, which is a lot because of his blindness and dementia. He's the only dog I've ever had in my adult life and the thought of putting him down instead of letting him die naturally is tough for me. I don't know how to determine that his quality of life is too diminished to justify ending it.
it really sucks but it's part of the responsibility of owning pets. we sign up for it when we take them into our homes. i've had to deal with it a few years ago myself. definitely hard, but just think about all of the good times you guys had together.
i'll just tell you this, you'll know when it's time.

Coincidentally, my sister put down her 15 year old wiener dog a few weeks ago -- also was having seizures.
My OTHER sister had to take her 3 year old wiener dog in to the vet a week or so ago because he slipped a disc in his back. For the last couple of weeks, he'd been on strict bedrest because he had like 15 staples in his back. It was sad and also kind of funny at the same time. Little hunchback.
I love those little, long sunsabitches. Putting them down is devastating -- really sorry.

I had to take my dog to the vet today because he has a tail that sticks up really high and bounces around while he walks/gallops around and it really incapsulates his personality. But he had it tucked between his legs for a few hours and would yip anytime I touched it. Apparently this is something that happens to dogs if they swim in cold water for a while? I had him out at the lake yesterday and the vet said it happens a lot, especially to hunting dogs who rummage around in cold water for a while.
Never heard of it. Just wanted to let everyone know in case it happens to them. Not worth the $80 to have the vet tell me that when they just gave me some pain meds for him, supposed to be fine after 2 days.

dogs can sprain their tails from wagging too much/too hard. happens to labs a fair bit.
border collies too smart and too serious for such foolishness, obv.
My lab had a broken tail when I got her at 7 weeks old. Vet gave me some ointment to rub on it and eventually it worked fine. She's too old for such foolishness now, but there have been multiple times in her life where I've found a random blood splatter on a door jamb or wall where she has whacked it too hard with her tail. Labs are idiots.

After a long time with grain-free fromm, I’ve switched to grain-inclusive nature’s logic and nulo challenger.

My dog was allergic to grain. Switching him to Rachel Ray's grain-free dog was one of the best decisions ever.
They put a lot of garbage in dog food.

When I got mine, the foster gave me some of what was left, which was both grain-in and grain-free Fromm. From looking at things like that site, grain-free generally seemed to have better reviews than grain-in so I went with that and never looked back. A few years back, there was a bunch of news about dangers of grain-free food but didn't seem like anything universally accepted. When my dog had unrelated knee surgery, the surgeon threw in as an aside that I shouldn't use grain-free food. The regular vet agreed, saying grain-in is more complete and preferred unless there's a specific reason for the dog, like allergies, to go grain-free. Meanwhile, the people at the artisan-type dog food stores told me vets are quacks and grain-free is better.
I rocked with the vet and so far my dog seems to like the food better and is more energetic. :dunno:

i set her down and got in her mouth and tried to yank it out but it was already kind of in her throat and when I pulled it out there was only like half of it. anyway turns out it was a dog treat that just kind of looked like a piece of mulch. crazy, huh? i bet she was ultra confused.

last week i saw what looked like a wood chip (like a piece of mulch, really) on our counter and our dog was going bananas barking up at the counter. wtf, right? so i lifted her up so she could kind of see it and smell it and then she lunged at it and ate it!I always freak out when our dog starts to chew on / eat wood - worry that he is going to get his mouth full of splinters. I suppose dogs have chewed on wood for millennia without problems but still.

The only thing my dog goes for that she shouldn’t is discarded chicken bones on the street. And she then walks with them; it hasn’t gotten to where she starts trying to eat it before I can snag it.
Are there really that many discarded chicken bones laying around on the street?

One year in to my covid dog. She is pretty great, very smart. I did the adoption thing for the first time. I had previously only had a full breed lab and he will always be my favorite dog. Current pup is like 99% lab from what I can tell. Looks just like a lab, but has a couple markings. I can't tell if the 1% is pitbull (not the singer) or if she is just an bad person from living on the streets. When she does something bad and I get after her, she gives me a look like "I will bite your ass". My previous doggie would just cower. She is very good though and good with the kids. Dogs are great and also a pain in the ass.:worthless:

Anyway he was walking them there over the weekend and one of them disappeared for a few minutes but came back fairly quickly. When they got home, the dog that disappeared started acting very strangely. Very paranoid and scared. Didn't appear to recognize my mom or her husband, and was randomly ducking and moving like she was seeing things. She would get bursts of energy and run circles in the yard to a point where they got worried enough to take her to an er vet.
They do some tests and the dog is od'ing on meth and ecstasy. She's severely overheating so the vet sedates her and does what they can. They reach out to the pet poison control board who recommends a certain medicine. After calling around 25 pharmacies my mom finally found one that stocks it in Oakland. They get the meds and it seems to help. She had to stay at the vet for 3 more days.
After they took the dog to the vet, my mom was determined to find where the dog got into these substances so they went back out to amplitheater and after some searching found a homeless encampment hidden away around the same place the dog disappeared.
Pretty scary times, but she appears to be recovering fine.

Oh, he’s got some energy. I’m guessing he’s no older than 2. Made him a little dogcave and put him in the garage before work this morning, just until I’m sure he’s fully buds with my other dogs. With our jobs neither my wife or I can go home at lunch so I’m fairly confident my garage is going to be a total shitshow.

Tater inspecting pasture post burn. Tried to intro him to the cows, but he got about as close as I did to girls at my first junior high dance.

My Chesapeake Bay Retriever growing ups name was Tater. He was a very good boy, he passed in 2009.

Paying tribute to the my boy Barley. He’s been a better friend than could be asked of him. Always kind. Never once has he barked in anger, or shown any aggression. Never met a stranger, only friends.
His driving days will be over Friday afternoon. I’m gonna miss you, bar.

Above: Barley enjoying the wet grass this morning.
Update: Bar has a tumor on his stomach that pushes on his right lung causing shortness of breath and some coughing. It also causes a reluctance to eat.
Fortunately, both of these symptoms are currently manageable thru prescription pain med Rimadyl. He remains happy-go-lucky as long as he takes them regularly.
He’s still got too much love to give and we’re cancelling/postponing the euthanasia until he shows signs that he isn’t enjoying life any longer.
Vet says he could be ok as long a few months, but could go at anytime. You never know.

Guys, Dog SF might be a complete psycho. The sweetest damn dog i've ever had, but quirky as crap. She must have gotten crap kicked from behind as a pup. If we are on a walk and she hears a noise or if someone is behind us, its ass to the ground or she will even lay down in the middle of the street. No one can be behind her. Its annoying as hell trying to get a walk in. I have to either stop and wait for them to get head or go up a random street so people aren't behind her.

Are there any dog psychologists around here? Over the past week or so, our dog has been getting super excited when he starts to pick up cues from us that it is time to go outside for his walk or bike ride. He's normally moderately excited but all of a sudden he is whining loudly, skittering around the floor like a baby deer on ice and rearing up on his back legs like he hasn't been out of the house in months even though his schedule hasn't changed. I can't figure out why he is doing this.

He's almost four. He has been neutered since just before he turned one.

what does he do when he gets out there? just kind of mill around smell the ground like normal?Sniffs around in the yard and the curb to check if other canines have pee'd on the curb since he was outside last. Doesn't seem to try and pull on his leash more than usual on his walks / bike rides with me or Mrs SSOC. Once he gets outside, his behavior is basically normal for him. He is absolutely obsessed with pooping in the very center of the street. I think it has something to do with placing the poop where it is elevated above the surrounding terrain but I'm not sure.

My doggie has similar behavior. She is mostly chill, but starts acting like a maniac when its about walk time. She has a watch hidden somewhere and knows exactly when its about time. She does't poop in the street, but she always has 2 poops on our walk which infuriates me, especially when its cold.
My issue is that she acts like an ax murderer is coming to kill the whole family any time someone comes to the door. She just absolutely loses her crap every time. I always wonder if parents reconsider letting kids come to my house when seeing her lose her mind when a kid shows up at the door. She will calm down almost immediately when they come in, but the parents just stand on the door step when dropping off with a concerned look on their face. I'm like, oh its fine, but I'm not sure they believe me.

Yeah, mine is pretty chill but a surprise person at the door unlocks frenzy mode. Once they are inside it's all love and tail wags.Thankfully, he doesn't freak out too much when people come to the door. Just one or two loud barks to let us know someone is there. He never barks at people / dogs walking by on the street which would be annoying as crap. We are trying to break him from the habit of trying to sniff people's crotches when they come in the house for the first time.

I love corgi's. At Petland you can't just buy a dog, you have to buy a training package, a vet package, a grooming package. They will give you a free dog when/if your dog dies but only if you purchased all food from their stores. lol
I found a corgi breeder selling them for $700 and we may go that route eventually. We have too many things going on right now to get a new puppy.

Damn, there is zero chance i'd pay that much for a dog. I'd feel weird yelling at it for stuff, when i paid 5 grand for it. The dog prob knows you are stuck with it no matter what so I bet it acts like an bad person all the time. I used to be a "registered" lab only doggie owner and the most I paid was like $500. Picked up a shelter doggie that is prob 98% lab a couple years ago and was mad that cost me $350. I tell her all the time that I will send her ass back to the streets. I don't really mean that, but she doesn't know better. Your dog would just give you the finger if you did that.

Back when I got out of the Army, I shared a basement of a rental house with a high school buddy and my little brother. One day he brought home a mixed Corgi. He named the pup Fred and he looked like an anteater with his short legs and extra-long nose. I don't remember a time when he would go anywhere without his nose dragging the floor for sniffing. We got such a kick out of that little guy. :lol:

Just paid for the worlds most expensive dark chocolate bar yesterday. Lil bastard dug into my travel bag, under a pile of clothes I was about to unpack and ate the whole thing. $300 later he was fine.
No wonder you've been so upset lately.

When doggie was just a pup, my kids were were being dumbass kids and playing with one of those small super bouncy balls. Didn't even know we had such a thing. Anyway, the ball ended up "missing". Of course, there was no real evidence that Doggie ate it, but according to them, it was likely. Several hundred dollars later, still no ball. :dunno:

Doggie SF needed some shots yesterday. Mrs. SF took her to the vet. The vet is normally pretty great and reasonable, but as I've said, Doggie SF is batshit. She has gotten better on walks when dudes are around but she still side eyes them and if they even look at her she growls at them. Sweetest little crap ever, but some dude treated her bad as puppy or something. Anywho, Mrs SF and Doggie are chilling at the vet and apparently shots "require" an examination. She was like whatevs, well, the examination apparently included touching and Doggie SF was have none of that crap. The vet basically said eff it, and asked other than being a lunatic, is she ok. Mrs SF was like, yeah, she just hates dudes. He said, cool and somehow gave her a couple of shots without getting his arm ripped off and out the door they went. Checked out the bill this morning. $54 "exam" fee. :curse: I mean, shouldn't I at least get a discount if you don't even touch the dog?My sister's friend adopted an old Kuvasz that had previously lived with a Lesbian couple and hated men.
One time I came out of the bathroom and the dog was at the other end of the Hallway blocking me in and just growling at me. My sister's friend had to come and get the dog.
Kuvasz are freaking massive, scared the crap out of me.

Yeah, haven't asked how that happened. I think an exam involves checking the belly and touching in various areas that Doggie wasn't going to allow. Mrs SF prob gave some hugs while he administered the shots from behind.
She just hates men. Our daily walk is along a golf course behind the fence. She was watching this dude with his bag get closer and closer to the fence. He hit is ball pretty close and was looking for it. It timed about perfectly that we were right next to the ball when he found it. Doggie just stared him down as we walked by and I was like, "good doggie", but then the guy says, "hi pup" and she growled at him. ha.

You know what real farm dogs are eating? Some cheap ass kibble and whatever leftovers get thrown out in his bowl.
I remember my grandparents having exactly 2 dogs growing up. 1 a border collie type dog that lived to be about 10 and when it died(hit by a car) then they got a Lab that made it a couple of years before it accidentally ate some sort of poison that was kept on hand because of farm stuff.
Both dogs were not allowed in the house and had a little doghouse outside.
Post by: ben ji on March 13, 2022, 08:41:49 PM
When we would hit a frozen cow patty and get thrown off the sled the lab would come up and start humping us...my gpa would just laugh and say he was lonely.
Went out there to next summer and asked where the dog was and got a response like "Oh yeah, Timmy ate some rat poison a couple months ago" : Shrug:

Tragedy struck the gE dog community yesterday and I buried my girl Sookie this morning. I got her at a particularly dark time in my life when I was laid off and she has brought me joy and sunshine every single day for the last twelve and a half years. I'm going to miss her immensely and it feels like a part of my heart is gone.
RIP Sookie

Guys, Doggie SF growled and tried to bite my foot today. She was trying to get at a ground squirrel or something and I used my foot to push her back and she growled and tried to bite my foot. She knew immediately that she mumped up and backed away as I alpha'd her ass to the house and she ran into the kennel. It wasn't too bad, but I had hoped she was over being from the streets. She did this a couple of times with food when we first adopted her, but is loving and sweet as crap 99.9% of the time. She just has that part of her past still in there I guess. She is my first adopted dog. I've normally gotten a pure bred lab that I could have choked to death and they wouldn't even get mad about it. It wasn't too terrible, but I worry a bit about the kids or worse, a neighbor kid. She has only done this a couple of times during specific situations like this, but I don't know. Should I be worried?
some dogs react better to different kinds of discipline...i've had dogs that you could spank a little bit if they mumped up and they learned from it, but i've got one now that tries to eff me up if i do that...but he is great with positive reinforcement only....

She is fine and full of energy once she gets up but I've definitely noticed her sitting on her "side hip" a lot more this year. When I take her hunting, after a long day, she has trouble jumping back in the vehicle or onto the couch back at the house.
I"ll mention it to the vet here in a couple of months when she gets her checkup but was wondering if anybody had some advice on supplements/etc to give her.
Here is an example of her back legs side sit which is how she sits all the time now.

So Milo is turning 4 in a couple of months but I think her hips are going bad. Basically when she sits now she puts one leg under and is slow to get up.Old neighbor/cop had a k9 and he used to give it lots of glucosamine for joints.

Vet tried to pull a fast one on me when he claimed to find some flea feces (it was dirt) on lady and mentioned they have some product I could buy and kill them in 2 hours.
I gave them a bath yesterday and no fleas were found.

Took lady and Milo to the vet the other day for their shots and they are both in good health.Listen here pet doctor man, that may work on KU Karl and Karla when they drop by to get their Chihuahua Reesing his shots after looking at flowers they can't afford at Halings greenhouse but it's not gonna work on me.

ER Vet said probably tore up her knee
She's about 50 pounds of Mutt, anyone have experiences with surgury vs letting it go?

They did Taters ACL. If the dog is older and not in pain vs a young, active dog was kind of how they presented our options.

Ours is young and very active. before the injury she ran with my wife multiple days a week. Not hunting active, not really around other dogs either.
kstate quoted 4k for the procedure which I was hoping would be cheaper.

after spending a bazillion dollars on my last best pal, I got insurance for the latest. its like $40 a month but that also covers shots and some visits or something. You can get it cheaper without the shot add on, but it prob works out to be about the same. This will only work for you if you have a time machine though.
Pets seem like something you should definitely self insure on. In fact, I think the list of things worth insuring is pretty short. Life, health, home, auto (by law). Am I missing anything?

Travel insurance should probably be something I should look in to...........

Lol. Perhaps. But that's more of a "you" thing.

Seems to be going rate. Taters ACL was $4k, and I didn't even get a KState DVM.My stupid dog that my wife and daughters love more than anything jumped out the window of my wifes car on sunday while they were driving.https://kck9ortho.com/

FWIW, he has recovered nicely. Prior, he limped around and favored the injured leg. He even puts all his weight on the repaired leg to pee.
