I want to do my girls paw prints but all the stuff that comes up on Google is either temu or like plain ink pads when I really want a few different colours

thanks!

They’re wrapped in TURKEY! He loves poultry! Ok, asshole, we can do this the hard way. I tried to pry his mouth open and the turd wouldn’t open. I tried the turkey again and he gratefully ate it. I think he learned something today! 😄

I’m dog sitting for my aunt while she’s away and I’ve noticed his breathing sounds weird he’s awake but he sounds like he’s snoring he’s a staffy

hi everyone,

i recently lost my 7 year old husky, Kai, very suddenly, and my 15 year old dog never got the chance to see him or say goodbye. they lived together, and i’m worried he might be confused or waiting for him to come back.

i’ve heard that dogs can understand loss better when they’re able to see or smell the body, but that wasn’t something we were able to do. i just want to make this as easy on him as possible and help him feel some sense of comfort or closure, if that’s even something dogs experience.

has anyone gone through something similar? how did your dog react, and is there anything i can do to help him adjust or understand that his companion is gone?

thank you in advance 🤍

I’ll be honest, this is partly on me. When my son (20)atm got a Presa Canario, I didn’t really research the breed. We used to have a Cane Corso mix that was big but easygoing, so I assumed it would be similar. Clearly not.

He’s now 13 months old and has become very reactive/aggressive towards strangers and other dogs. Outside he’s tense and quick to react. He is already 53kgs and not overweight at all, extremly strong and drivey. Nothing like ive seen before in dogs this sie

My son works with the dog and spends alot of time with him, they have a great bond. But The main problem is he only listens to my son. With him he’s fine, but with me he ignores commands completely and shows zero respect. It feels like we have no control over him at all.

I’ll be honest I’ve started to feel uncomfortable being around him alone. And I’m worried about what this could turn into when he’s fully grown at 2–3 years. For instance yesterday i was alone with him and my son always plays rough with him, the dog thought lets do the same with me. He jumped in my face, bit my clothes. I told him multiple times no and he didnt react. I had a pounding heart and was shaking of fear. Then my son came downstairs and the dog stopped

Looking back, I think i underestimated the breed and didn’t do enough research

Is this normal for a Presa at this age, or is this already going the wrong way? And is this something that can still be fixed?

Any honest advice is appreciated.

He’s two months and he’s mixed with a husky and I think a Labrador retriever I tried throwing treats in there and associating the word crate with it but it doesn’t work he just sits there

I have a 9 month old Australian Shepherd and two cats. I’ve raised the dog since 8 weeks old. He has become low level aggressive when it comes to food but ONLY towards other dogs not people. It’s not terribly a big deal because he’s my only dog, but he goes to dog parks and daycare and other public places and will bare his teeth, growl, or warning air nip at other dogs if someone is trying to treat their dog around him. How do I curb this behavior before it gets worse?

My 24 wk golden retriever is doing great with loose leash walking. We are still working on places outside of our daily walks. She picks up everything from the ground and especially loves rocks. When we walk and she picks up something I tell her to drop it and when she does I mark and give her a treat.

Am I just teaching her to get something so she can drop it for a treat? What should I do differently?

In addition, I cannot get her to drop the rocks she finds in our backyard. I tempt her higher value treats like ham or cheese but she will not drop for any of it. I can literally touch her nose with the treat and she will just stand there with the rock in her mouth. She will let me take it out of her mouth without a fight and then I give her a treat at that point.

How can I get her to drop the rock or not pick up rocks at all?

I've had my dog for a little over a year now. His previous owners left him at a PetSmart for boarding for about four months and never went back to get him. So he is a little bit nervous, but he is so sweet and silly, except with my boyfriend. He'll lay down with my boyfriend, sit on his lap, and play with my boyfriend but the second my boyfriend stands up my dog goes crazy. We've tried everything to mend their relationship lol
