Yes, socialization doesn't mean the dog needs to interact with everyone he sees. In the case of a persistent person, you just need to be stern. Put yourself between them and the dog. It's a good habit to put yourself between your dog and other people in general. Gives you a lot more time and...

In my experience, it depends greatly on the drakes themselves, and not so much the ratios. I've had two drakes with 10 hens, and they were rough with, fought over, and injured the females. I currently have two different drakes with 13 hens and, so far, no issues. Even if you did get a bunch more...

I'd do a complete water test first, make sure the water is good. If you get another fish, try to find one that's about the same size.

We've gone nearly every week for the last year+ to various classes. It's all very low key for us, just fun things to do. He likes doing certain things more than others but he's now at the point where is willing to try nearly anything. Am really happy we found this place.

I agree with the others that it sounds like he is insecure and reacts aggressively. Sounds like he's okay with certain people and I think that's a good sign that this is something you can build off of. It seems like you are already on the right path. Just a few things... This is just a guess...

I had my dog on a long line for the first few months. I didn't always hold the other end, but it was there if I needed it. He was doing great, so I gave him more freedom and let him outside unsupervised. When he hit his teenage phase at about a year, he accidently killed a few birds. I say...

Domesticated animals should not be subject to natural selection because of owner neglect. Humans changed their very nature when we domesticated them and so we are 100% responsible for caring for and protecting them. Proper animal husbandry means we need to take care of the things our animals...

I had some mice come into my garage, and at least one even made it into the house, after we trenched in some new water and electric lines. Guess we hit their old home. Put down snap traps and caught a few. A couple days later sprayed with mint mouse repellent in the house and along the garage...

I've never used or heard or Mitty dairy. I use a Simple Pulse for milking my goats. I will say that, after looking at their site, their prices seem pretty high. I have a Slavic Beauty cream separator and it's a couple hundred dollars less than Mitty. My milk machine is the one goat at a time...

That's a good move. You don't want to spread something.

This is Luc. He's a pitty mix. Absolutely adore him.

First thing to do is find a local goat vet. You may not take it to the vet for a lot of stuff, but you don't want to be calling around trying to find a vet if you have an emergency. Start looking for another goat. Goats are herd animals and don't do well alone. Make sure to only get goats from...

I've got two sister cats. One of them decided to have her kittens in the drain under my driveway. After reaching out to neighbors I got help in catching her and her kittens and also got a hold of her sister that had her kittens in my neighbors shed. Found out they had been born to a local feral...

My greenhouse is new. I planted my first seeds in January and cut my first harvest yesterday. Had a nice salad with lunch. The greenhouse is a real game changer. Normally I wouldn't have anything out of the garden till June.

The doeling is likely a bit more stressed because she was taken off her dam later. It's a bit unusual to take a dam raised kid off their dam at that age and switch to bottle. Many times they will refuse bottles at that age so it's good she is eating. I'm guessing she'll calm down after she gets...

If you don't want/need the milk, let her dry off. If you want the milk, I don't think it would be a problem if she is otherwise healthy. Just make sure she has access to quality hay/alfalfa all day and balanced grain while on the stand.

I'm very sorry. While you probably won't know what happened, based on everything you've said I think this may have been an internal issue. The biggest thing to me is that the dam didn't want anything to do with the kid. They can sense when something isn't right. Try not to blame yourself too...

The guy at the pond store I got my koi from told me that you know they are mating if you see the plants disturbed and whole lot of bubbles on the surface of the water. He also told me they mate at night. Have you seen a bunch of bubbles? I'm thinking along the same lines as everyone else. You...

I'm amazed at all that hard work you did and the fantastic results. Bet you are making some yummy meals from all those goodies.

To me it looks like the dog is pretty focused on her human, but she's not getting any feedback to tell her what to do or if what she is doing is right. 🤷‍♀️
