Wouldn't giving my dog her toy when i catch her chewing on something inapropiate be rewarding her?
I'm trying to train my dog not to chew. I've been doing some research, and everyone's saying when you catch her chewing, say no, take it away, and replace it with her toy. Would a dog really understand that you want them chewing on the toy instead or would she this k she's being rewarded. I noticed when i grab the thing shes chewing on she puts her ears back and cowers, but she seems to have the same reaction with everything regardless wether she chewed it or not.

I take her on a half hour walk each day than play fetch for about half hour, shes been looking a little chubby to me, but maybe it's just me. What do you think?
7 AnswersDogs3 years agoWill this confuse my dog? Or do you think it will eventually register?
I have a pit bull. My brother has a Pomeranian. I've had my dog chews on long toys all her life. Well, my brother just started buying his dog kong toys. They look very similar to my dogs long toys except smaller obviously. While I was at work, my dog got a hold of my brothers dog toy and chewed it in half. My brother scolded her for it, but can you blame her? It's the same shape and made out of the same material. If we scold her for chewichewing the other dogs toy, do you think she might just think oh I'm not suppose to chew things of this material? Okay I'll chew a shoe or something? I mentioned this to my brother and he said I'm not gonna buy a toy for my dog just becaus3 your dog wants to chew it up. Do you think my dog with eventually understand as long as we scrolled her when we catch her chewing on it, than give her an appropriate toy? Thanks, and worry sorry for the bad grammar.
4 AnswersDogs3 years agoDoes this situation warrant my behavior?
So, I live in a house with my brother, and his girlfriend. We each pay 75 a month torwards bill, than we pitch in about 40 for groceries. My bros girlfriend only works one day a week, Anyway, she bought a car from a mutual friend of ours for $600. I'm sure she could barely afford that as she works one day a week. The car needs new license plates, and the breaks need repairs. So, this is were it really starts to irritate me. Her friend was having a wedding so she went and bought a $200 dress After the wedding, they were going to go to san Francisco for a bacholaret party. My brother knew she wouldn't be able to make rent if she went, but she really wanted to go. She came back with all sorts of crap. Probably $100 worth. Bill day came the next day, and she told my brother she couldn't pay right now. My brother let her pay a week later. I didn't know this till yesterday, but I did suspect it. It makes me mad because she could have gotten her car fixed, paid rent, and whent and gotten a full time job. Shes always sitting around depressed because she has no money, and no car, and then she does this. I told my brother I'm done pretending to like her. I've just completely been ignoring her. If she starts talking to me I'll just give her a real short reply as to before I'd be real nice and ask questions back. So do i have a right to be mad at her? Oh, I should mention, my brother and I own the house equally. I'm 24, bros 21, and gf is 20.
6 AnswersOther - Family & Relationships3 years agoI'm worried about my dad's flue?
He's 59, he woke up about 2 weeks ago with a really bad flue. He went to the Dr about 2 days ago. They ran some blood tests. They told him it not the flue everyone else is getting, and they don't know exactly what it is. I textetexted him today to ask him if he's feeling better. He said a little bit. He said that twice, but than it gets worse. I'm just terrified it's something more sinister. Is it normal for a flue to last almost over 2 weeks?

7 AnswersDrawing & Illustration3 years agoIs it unreasonable of me to hate my brothers girlfriend?
Im 24, my brother and her are 20. My brother and I bought a house. So both own half of it. I guess she's considerd a tenant. Anyway, she doesn't have a full time job because she says she's going to go to college witch she's been saying for the past year and a half. I just think she's lazy. She had an annoying laugh that just makes me cringe, a real loud hehehe! She talks real loud and does laundry right outside my door right as I go to bed. She comes home from work when im I'm sleeping and cooks with posts and pans, and messes with the microwave. She sounds like she weighs 300 lbs when she walks down the hall. She's just an inconsiderate *****. If she's home I'll just hide in my room because i cant stand to be around her. I was planning on hanging out in the living room today and play games on the 60 inch, but I guess she's not working today like she usually would. So I guess I'll just be sitting in my room bored out of my room while she just hog the living room and kitchen with her annoying ***. I want to evict her, but I know my brother wouldn't approve. She's honestly not a bad person, but he's just overly bubbly and gets to be a b itch when shes frustrated. Typical women I guess. I realize I'm probably acting like a child. But it's sucks I have to live like this in my own home.
5 AnswersFamily3 years agoWho was in the wrong here?
About 4 years ago i had a heart condition that basically killed me. But I was resesitated. I than had surgery and spent about a week in the hospital. So, when i got back i was resting on the couch traumatised from the fact i had almost died, and I was just week and not feeling well. Well, my brother had very bad anger issues at the time and threw a chair at the kitchen floor and screamed for some reason. I looked at him and said "dude, seriously?" He than replied with" Nick! Stfu! I'll ouch you in the fckn face!" I screamed back and called him a little ***** than walked outside to cool down. I was 20 and he was 16. We talked about about it a few months ago. He still gets angry, but not quite as bad. He still thinks I was wrong for inturupting his tantrum. Just, if he had almost died, knowing I may have never seen him again, i would cherish every moment with him. Not threat3n to punch him in the face.
1 AnswerOther - Family & Relationships3 years agoShould I still play with my dog when she pees pews in my shop?
I keep her in my shop in her dog house when im at work. I leave tge door half open so she can go do her bussinus outside. The past couple days I've found poop and per in my shop. I show it to her and she knows she's in trouble. I usually go play fetch with her when i get home with she loves, but even after I scold her do you think she might think I'm rewarding her by playing fetch? Should I take her toy away for the night as well? I want her to get exercise. But I don't want her to think it's okay to go pre and poop in the shop
4 AnswersDogs3 years agoWould I have had a heart attack by now if my pain was heart related?
When I was 19. I was diagnosed with wpw. I ended up going into cardiac arrest because i was illergic to a drug they have me when they were trying to slow down my heart before it exploded. I had an ablation, and I'm fine now, except for a skipped beat here and there. Anyway, I'm 24 now, and ever sense the year it happend I've had left arm pain, and sometimes in my right. Sometimes followed by chest pain, but not usually.the pain in usually a quick shooting pain, and sometimes a dull ache. It only lasts a few seconds. I've had around 4 or five ekg's sense than, and they always looked normal. I've kind of put it down to my severe health anxiety. So, if it were serious, do you think I would have known after 5 years? Thanks.

4 AnswersLaw & Ethics3 years agoDoes this sound like skin cancer?
I was examining my arm, and noticed a grey dry looking lump about half the size of a pee. I was easily able to rub it off completely. I'm pretty sure you cant just run off a cancer mark. Thought I'd just ask. Thanks.
5 AnswersPreschool3 years agoMy dog suddenly lost interest in playing fetch?
Shes a 2 year old pitbull terrier. I've had her for about a year and a half. She's always loved playing fetch. She would wake up in the morning and play til the evening. But ever sense yesterday she seems to have lost interest. She woke up and stood at the door like she was ready to go play, but after I threw her toy a couple times she just ignored it, and walked back to the door like she was afraid or something. Other than that she's acting normal. Maybe she's just bored? We have been playing the same came for a year and a half after all. Thanks
2 AnswersDogs3 years agoCan a cancer patient deny certain visitors?
Say someone is dying of cancer in a hospital, and there is a friend of the family or someone they really don't want to see. Can you just tell them to get out once they enter the room? Or do you have to let the receptionist know? How does it work?
3 AnswersOther - General Health Care3 years agoShould I be upset with my brother about this?
Last night when I'm falling asleep my brother knocks on my door and asks me if he can use my truck to move some furniture from his old house to his new house. I say yes, if you pay for gas. I get in my car about to head off to work and I'm on empty. I manage to make it to the gas station, but it just irritated me he wouldn't out a little money into gas.
7 AnswersFamily4 years agoWould it be wrong to not help my brother buy a house because his girlfriend would be living with us?
My grandperants left my brother and a large amount of money before they past on. My dad thinks it would be a good idea to buy a house with it. We found a pretty decent one, and we are going to go look at it. The only we could purchase this house is if i pay half of it. If I dont, than it's not going to happen, well, my brothers girl friend would be moving in with us and I absolutely can't stand her. She's loud, inconsiderate, and she's got this nice happy personality witch i know is fake. The presents of her just puts me in rage, but I've always managed to keep my cool. Now, I know this is probably pretty immature of me, but im a real nice l, calm guy, but I just can't stand her. I was gonna tell my brother if shes going to be living there, than I'm not going to help buy the house.
