  • Something to try if they hurt you is to make a really high pitched yip then do boring human as that’s what their litter mates would do if one hurt another.

    It communicates they cause pain then by not rewarding them until they are doing a good behaviour you train that one rather than rewarding the bad behaviour.

    Children especially are very exciting if they squeal and run away if a puppy nips them in play.

    Edit: exercise is also super important, someone suggested a fly line which are great for puppies. 5-10 minutes and they will be knackered. Longer walks and more brain engagement play like sniffing can also help with energy levels.



  • This is pretty standard puppy behaviour. The issue is usually consistency. You clearly do the same reaction to their behaviours each time so the dog has learned what you expect.

    Your family probably doesn’t do the same thing each time or they react in fun ways, like squealing and running away when the dog jumps up. The easy way to resolve this is to train your family, we used a technique called " boring human". So when the dog does something you don’t want, rough play, jumping up etc you do “boring human” where you just stand up and don’t talk or engage with the dog until it does a behaviour you want to reward usually something like sit. Then you can continue the activity. The important thing is to not engage at all, don’t shout or flail as those can be fun and interesting, until the dog does the right behaviour.

    Using a phone while driving is illegal in most places while adjusting the air conditioning via a tablet with nested menus is not. In theory most of the data should line up with the new touch screens rather than phones which have been available for a long time.


  • I had a pair of Docs which fell to bits on me after about a year of regular use. I’ve since got 2 pairs of boots and a pair of trainers from Solovair and, after wearing in, they are the most comfortable footwear I’ve ever owned. I’ve worn, mostly the boots, every day for work for about 2 years now with no problems at all. I’ve even managed to get them mostly waterproof with liberal applications of dubbin wax.

    Check out the outlet store (like on the main website), you can pick up shoes with slight defects or end of lines for significant discounts over new.




  • I feel you bundley pain. I have: favourites, check in future/ early access, completed, currently paying, deck games, escape rooms, games for my wife to try, horror, humble games to try, local multiplayer, multiplayer, new need to try, played kinda sucked, puzzle, RPG, RTS, shooter, sofa games, VR games.

    New need to try is for the humble bundle games I’m actually interested in and the humble games to try is for the ones which are just extras.
