Also, he's so damn adorable! I promise you, I cried real tears many times the first few weeks with Bessie. I was sure I'd made a big mistake and...
Also? My pup was similar. She is now 1yo and mostly a dream (minus the shoe-chewing! :eek: ). Hang in there!
It all sounds very normal. I have been loving these trainers, and just signed up for their Training Academy. But these four videos will help you...
The relationship stuff has been somewhat life-changing for me already, but this game is also life-changing in that it can really tire her out! I...
@snowbunny - thanks! Also for the tip about the videos. I think I will grab one of those. I was going to make one out of PVC but the nice handle...
Thanks, all. I was really inspired by the Relationship Power Training videos that @Joy posted the link to, and I think it's exactly targeted to my...
I have one for my bedroom and could do that, but she does try to jump over. When she's behind it and I'm on the other side she whines and puts her...
Thanks. All really great ideas. Biggest issue is that she doesn't have enough mental stimulation and activity in her life right now due to me...

Thanks for this! Yes, a bit annoying delivery, but really good info. Started the first game with Bessie today and she responded really quickly....
Oh darn, looks like borrowmydoggy is just UK and Ireland. We need one in the US! I will see if I can find something similar.
Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. I can't separate them too easily, as I have a very tiny house with only one separate room that is...
This, so much this. I think some of my emotions around this are because I'm annoyed and exasperated with her zoomies and over-the-top behavior and...
Thanks Joy! Those are great ideas. I'm so brain foggy from the Lyme that I really forgot I could in fact just stand there and have her do frisbee...
Life has been pretty overwhelming the past few months. I've had some health issues that are either a worsening of some autoimmune issues I've had,...
My dogs have the couch, and my bed at night. Bessie even has a crate cushion atop the ottoman, which is her spot. But I can take the crate cushion...
@FinnOfSoCal - so glad to hear that Finn is improving! I think it's great to do board and train, in that I had some regression with Bessie with...
Reading another post on crate training reminded me that I never updated this. I think it's good to update to see where we got with all of this....
IKEA does have super-cheap ticking clocks! I had one that cost $1 until Bessie got it off my nightstand and ate it. :rolleyes: I bought one of...
He is sooooo stunning!!!
