Kittens are like children, they feel secure if they're with their parents.

poor doggie

Picture of you gently petting dog pls, I need to know she's loved

>>2148734
Did she get into any human food? Especially anything in the onion family, such as garlic? If she did then this could be causing some serious problems with her thyroid, keep an eye on her if she gets worse.

In the meantime, call the vet office and ask to speak to an actual vet working on duty. Ask them if you can give your dog babies benadryl, you can give certain dogs low doses of it for serious allergy reactions, but the vet needs to tell you if sharpeis can have it, and how much.

Advice? Find someone with a large, hungry snake.

You have too many rats already.

>>2148548
Separate. Maybe later.
She doesn't even know you yet does she?

I've actually had her for about eight months. She's always been affectionate towards me and a bitch to the other two, and she's always not inclined to share me, but she's definitely escalated in the last two. I've been out of work since the end of March so I've obviously been home a lot and all of the girls are getting massive amounts of attention. You'd think that the attention whore would be more relaxed though, not the other way around. It's got to the point where one of the sisters won't let me stroke or hold her when the attention whore is around. And the attention whore bites hard; she's not broken the skin yet, but that's because she bites at the fleshy base, not the thin skin at the top. And when she bites, she pulls hard enough to yank her victim bodily around, so I don't think the squeaking that goes on is feigned or exaggerated.

I'm sure there are way better birds for that. Be honest, the reason you want one is because it would be cool as fuck. That is a bad reason to get a pet.

>>2148415
a bird wont chill on your shoulder unless it really likes you, the smarter ones have mad ADD

that said, birds also shit constantly

>>2148307
Those bark collars and speakers that react to barking and play a high pitched sound that annoys the dog- they work.

If the dog is especially stupid it will take a couple days to figure out what's going on and they might bark more until they get it.

It kind of fucks them up though, they whine and do that stupid clawing at the ground with paws extended thing a lot more when they can no longer bark. I guess barking is a stress reliever or something.

Also, the animal rights meme has tricked everyone. You don't need to beat your dog but a couple smacks when it does undesirable behavior is perfectly fine and much more effective than spending weeks teaching with positive reinforcement.

Food withholding and spraying water up their nose or really close to their anus works too.

Ok, the poodles are "bichon frise", supossedly an inteligent kind, quite young... so i'll try to aply some of this things (preferably the cheapest ones)

Thanks, dude.

More suggestions are accepted until I find the most effective one so keep em' coming, please

they can be trained, but it is a lot of work. The more dogs, the harder it's going to be because they might have a hard time knowing who you're talking to.

Okay, this is what I did. I have purebred Great Pyr. Notoriously loud breed. Anyway, he is very vocal. I only let him out to do his business then bring him right back, but if any neighbors are out, it's go time. We have a 6ft privacy fence but he still sees through the crack.

Anyway, I got out with him every time. I follow him. If he starts his shit, I make him sit, then lay down, then give him a treat. After a few seconds, he'll start up again. I do sit/lay/treat. Again and again and again. Usually mixing in some Place and Shake or whatever I feel like. After about 5 weeks, he doesn't bark outside anymore. Well, maybe 10% as much as he used to.

It's as simple as breaking a bad habit. I redirect his attention away from performing that habit. The same as a person chewing gum to quit smoking. I gave him another option. Eventually, he just forgot about it. But I am willing to bet it will resurface, since it is part of who he is as a herd guardian.

I also caught it early, before he was 6 months, so that may have helped.

Wait til they leave.
Hold rat by base of tail on hard surface.
Hold a pen or screwdriver or some kind of rod on the rat's neck right up against the skull.
Push down on rod, pull strongly (don't jerk) on the tail.
Put rat back.
>told you it would just die like that
FYI anything fed to the snake should be killed that way first.
Live feeding is cruel, and also dangerous to the snake while also making the snake dangerous to the owner.

>>2148107
is this the best method? is killing it really better than trying to give it a life? I cant buy the stuff for it so it might be

>>2148131
Give it back to the petshop and get your brother some hex toys. Just apologize to your brother and say it ran away,

>>2147988
Take it to the vet.

stop hitting her in the face

Kill yourself for buying a puppy from a BYB

klamath was pretty good.

Too Cute on animal planet is dope

identify and kill I should add. Are they afraid it'll crave humans?

if dumbasses crash their car against a tree and die the tree is usually cut down even though the tree didn't cause the accident.

I read this yesterday. It said they killed 5 gators but were going to do some sort of scientific examination on them to see if any of them were the ones that did it.

I think you're actually looking at PR and damage control. They know it's stupid and pointless, but they have an image to protect.

It seemed incredibly shitty to me that they'd go all-out genocide over it. I get that it's not exactly endangered, or cute, or rare, or friendly, but it's still a tad unnecessary to just go all Crocodile Dundee on the lagoon. Sad.

They can be pretty mean moreso than other breeds if raised incorrectly.

>>2146709
>relatively quiet

Is everything you know about the breed via imgur gifs of the dogu doing memeable things?

>>2146709
They're difficult to train, have high requirements for exercise and mental stimulation and they're loud as fuck and destructive if you don't meet those requirements. They're also escape artists. They're about as cat-like as a Husky.
Unless you're on a massive property that your dog can freely roam, even the most "cat-like" independent or low energy dog is going to ideally get a 30 minute walk daily, with exceptions only being made for really old dogs.

>>2146361
Neither, you'd fuck it up.

>>2146361

If you have to ask, neither.

>>2146417
>>2146438

Why? they are both similar in many ways. Good for warm climate, kind of hard to teach, active, like to dig ^^

Less memes and pornography.

I heard you like memes.

I quite like them myself.

If your pool cover dips into the water at all, would it be possible to send electric current into the water at the edge of the pool? That would discourage them from landing and defecating.

put the pool cover somewhere else. in the garage or something.
