Hello folks!
Wanted to have a quick, fun discussion about creative ways you've seen non-profits raise money without asking for donations.
I recently was exposed to the Treat app by Chewy where playing with the dogs and watching ads gets treats sent to real shelter dogs!
Our non-profit's favorite way right now is selling homemade dog treats online.
Hello everyone,
I have a 9-month-old rescue who was labeled a Lab-Rhodesian mix when we got him. We assumed he had some pittie in him becasue all rescue dogs tend to. Turns out he is 70% American Pit Bull Terrier Mix, with the rest being boxer (12%), plus small percentages of German Shepherd, Lab, and Bulldog.
He is very sweet, loves other dogs, but is wary of other humans. He growled for the first time at someone who tried to approach and pet him during a walk.
We have taken him to training classes since we got him. We live in Boulder, CO, which is fairly urban with a lot of hiking and extremely dog-friendly.
He goes to the dog park or hikes nearly every day, and on the days he doesn't, he hangs out with my parents' dogs (I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible). I take him to local coffee shops and dog freindly stores frequently, where he gets treats and is exposed to a lot of people.
He has NEVER shown dog aggression; in fact, if a dog gets aggressive with him, he walks off or becomes submissive. He is reactive only in the sense he tries to pull towards them on walks.
HOWEVER, as he gets older his wariness towards humans is NOT getting better he is getting more territorial towards men who enter our house (barking at them until they give him enough treats to calm down.
What are some steps that we can take to prevent this from escalating into true agression, or some things you guys wish you did more with your dog when they were a puppy.
