    Anyone familiar? My girl and I moved in t/g last week, and from time to time we will have her dog living with us as well. She went ahead and bought this Furbo camera to be able to watch her during the day, as she gets acclimated to a new setting. Yesterday we left the apartment for a bit and her phone was blowing up with alerts on the app stating "Your dog is barking", but we aren't sure if she actually was that often, or if the Furbo was picking up noise of the washer/dryer units a few feet away.

    thats excessive.

    I copped a $50 camera on amazon and it works just fine. albeit, can't shoot treats out but that's not a priority in the slightest :lol:

    Yeah I didn't pay for it at all :lol: that was all on her. She felt if the pup can hear/recognize her voice + a treat it will comfort her in the new space.

    I'm still looking to adopt. Looking for a medium sized, affectionate breed. Always had labs, but maybe leaning towards a hound.

    These Treeing Walking ****hounds are pretty cool

    Any other tips on breeds?

    My pups had a Petcube sent to them for free from the company and it was kinda cool. Similar thing just without the treats. it was cool to be able to see them and talk to them (although i think it kinda confused them :lol: ) The laser pointer was a cool idea but probably works better with cats. I ended up getting rid of it when I realized they spend 95% of the time I’m not there in their crate sleeping :lol:

    If you dont have your heart set on a breed id strongly recommend rescuing. Mixed breeds are often the healthiest with the best temperament

    I'll definitely be rescuing. That's what I meant by "adopt."

    To piggyback on my post from earlier, my girl and I need some help apartment-breaking her dog. 5 year old Yorkie, she's basically my girls shadow. She's only been in one apartment prior, which likely explains why she is constantly barking when left alone so far in our new apt. What steps do we need to take in order to have the barking end shortly after we both leave for work/dinner/whatever?

    I assume she’s not in a crate? Have you tried a Kong? To occupy her when you are away.

    @macbk my girl also suggested to play dog music for relaxation on YouTube while you’re gone. She plays it on the iPad when we step out and our lady loves it. They have tunes up to 10 hours at a time and for all different moods... for dogs.

    The tan one looks a lot like my girl. Face, ears, white paws and tip of the tail. Anything with pit in it will likely be a great dog. I prob posted this pic before but just for reference

    @juice man I'm gonna check the dog music out :lol: .

    My girl left the t.v on this morning when we both left for work :smh: not trying to run up Con Ed like that. But if it keeps her pup calmer so be it.

    man when i had a husky the shedding was insane. blobs of hair just all over the damn place even after brushing him daily

    my dog now dont shed as much but his hair is noticeable on all my black clothes mots the time. try my best with a lint roller when i go out
