I saw the best meals of my generation destroyed By the madness of my brother My soul carved in slices by spiky-haired demons.(BTW everyone considers END APARTHEID NOW poster appearing in S03E01, but it is even here, it shows how smart early Lisa was, basically the same as she is today)

You're too young to remember the short lived Itchy & Scratchy & Friends Hour. They had to come up with some friends. There's Disgruntled Goat, Uncle Ant, Ku Klux Klam...

Dried mango?

What about it?

She absolutely adores the stuff. I snack on it regularly and she’s begging like it’s the best treat ever. She’s quite food motivated but mostly for meaty stuff like duck jerky, hot dogs etc. She’s had frozen mango before and was ok about it but not overly impressed. I’ve searched the ingredients of the dried stuff and seems ok. Is it just her or do other dogs enjoy it?

What can I reasonably do about these neighbors dogs that often flee their yard?

What about it?

To preface, these dogs are super sweet. They are nice to everyone and even gentle around our older dog. Luckily… However, this neighbor is clueless as how to train their dogs to respond to anything. When she lets them out, they basically run wherever they want and her only response is a lazy, low effort calling of their names and saying “no”. She’ll eventually mosey over when they ultimately don’t respond. I taught my dog the boundaries of our property and how to stay in the yard. She knows all of the basics; come, stay, stop, etc. Literally day one of YouTube level research achieved this. The first time I met this neighbor and their dogs, we were bum rushed in our yard by these dogs. I was honestly terrified because they look kinda intimidating and you just never really know how an approach like that will go. We just kept calm and after a few second greeting they were giving kisses and being playful. Ok all good. We had a quick exchange about how they are used to a fence and now without one at their new house, they’re having to work through it. I gave some very brief advice on how I trained my dog to stay in the yard. She didn’t seem to give one shit about my input. There’s been no improvement. On the 4th they bum rushed my friends and I in the backyard and the tail of one of them knocked over my friends drink. Like wtf, get a hold of your fucking dogs. Yesterday I had a contractor and insurance adjuster out here and of course here come the god damn dogs that don’t listen, sniffing and being hyper. I felt secondhand embarrassed about these dogs. I mean ffs, as far as I know, these guys were terrified by these dogs coming up or have PTSD from a dog attack. Just rude and trashy as fuck. At this point I feel that we haven’t done ourselves any favors because so far when they greet us, we give them pets and all kinds of attention, which I recently realized is probably just promoting and reinforcing bad behavior. At the beginning I guess I foolishly just thought they’d be working on training the dogs so it didn’t matter how we acted. So on our end, I told the wife to just ignore the dogs. Don’t be mean but don’t give them any attention and maybe they will stay away. Outside of that, what else can we possibly do??

New rescue afraid of husband when standing

What about it?

Hi everyone! We adopted a rescue german shepherd 2 weeks ago, her name is Missy and she is 9 month old. She took to me really fast (2 days) but we knew she was more afraid of men. The ''issue'' we are having is that now she will go to my husband when he is on the floor (if I'm not too far) but when he is standing she will run to the opposite direction even if he is not interacting with her and just passing by her to go do something. He gives her plenty of cuddles and treats and has time alone with her, but as soon as she is off leash and he stands, she runs. What can we try to help their relationship? Thanks in advance for your responses!
