Tips For Working at Home When You Have a Dog
I love working from home, the flexible hours, time with my family and dogs, and I can dress comfy. But, the family and dogs can also make it quite challenging to get any work done. From the Zoom interruptions, the potty breaks, and random zoomies, here are my tips for how I stay productive while working from home with my 3 dogs (and 4 kids).

I share with you what products to get and things to consider as you prepare for your new bundle of fur.
I personally believe that any and every dog owner can and should have a well-behaved dog without having to become a professional dog trainer. It is my mission in life to achieve this, not only for my family but yours. I have lived with the heartbreak, paid the cost, and dealt with the impact of common dog myths and bad training advice. My passionate goal is to shed light and help others not pay the price.
I'm Jena, a busy homeschool mom of 4. I garden, have chickens, 3 cats, 2 wonderful dogs, and we just added a puppy that we will be self-training to become my personal service dog. My Hubby, AKA: Mr. Editorman is the man who helps make this all happen.
Stick with me; we got this.

    My girlfriend and I have two cats, but we always lived with dogs (she with her parents, me with mine). We really want a dog. Only problem is our work. I do shifts, so 6:30-14:30 or 14:00-22:00. My gf is gone from 8:00-18:00. We thought about adopting a greyhound (one that is good with cats so they can accompany eachother) or getting a doberman/dachshund. Are these breeds “good” for us you think? (We did our research but want honest opinions). Btw we live in a house, small garden, BIG shared “garden” in front, but we have many many nice places to walk and let them “free”. So only problem is time but we don’t want to have a depressed dog.

    • @busywithdogs
      @busywithdogs 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Sounds like y'all have a great situation for a dog. All breeds you listed are great, but I think each has a different concern. The Greyhound is tricky, they are more independent and cat-like in some ways, but they are sight hounds and it can be tricky to find one that is good with cats. How your cat reacts to a dog is a big factor. If they run from dogs, this could be a bad breed for your situation. My cats don't run from dogs, they let our dogs approach, and sniff, and if they are done with the situation, they exit calmly. This is good because they are not triggering prey drive in my dogs as easily. My almost 11-month-old herding cross has some prey drive and we do a lot of work with her and the cats. It can be done, but you need to be prepared to train through it for the first few months, regardless of the breed of dog. Dachshunds are usually better with cats, the greater concern is they are prone to separation anxiety, so measures will need to be taken to prevent that from happening. If they bond with the cats, then this should lower the chance of that happening. Dobermans are fairly neutral with cats, so this is a good choice. They are prone to separation anxiety and anxiety in general. Because they tend to be more neutral with cats, the chance of them bonding with your cats is lower and that may not help the dog while you and your girlfriend are at work. So it may be more work on your end to keep them from developing anxiety. They are also a breed that you need to be 100% committed to and understand. Side note, check your local ordinances to make sure it is legal to own a Dobbie in your area. Unfortunately, they are not allowed in some areas and I would hate for you to have to deal with that. Dobbies and Greyhounds are not for the underprepared handler, in my opinion. As with any breed, understanding the history and purpose of the breed will help you. Dobbies was bred for the purpose of being a personal guard dog and later was crossed with a Greyhound. Do you want that in a dog, and are you and your girlfriend prepared to handle that kind of power? The Greyhound is an ancient breed bred to chase small prey across the deserts for the pharaohs of old. Are you able/willing to provide for the need for running? I know I asked more questions, but I honestly think that they are important for helping you decide. I hope you find your perfect heart dog.

    • @busywithdogs
      @busywithdogs 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      My personal favorite independent breed is the Great Pyrenees, I have had two. However, I know this giant breed is not for everyone. Here is a list of other breeds that I would consider. Chinese Crested (The powder puff ones are adorable!) Greyhound Lhasa Apso Maltese Poodles Keep in mind, that more independent dogs are not always the easiest to train and can require a different tactic to train than other breeds of dogs. They are trainable, but you can't train them with the same tactic as a Golden Retriever. Also, more independent breeds are prone to be escape artists in backyards. They also usually don't make good off-leash dogs. However, all of these traits can be overcome with vigilance on the owner's side. I do have a free system that I use for getting my own dogs, you can find it here. www.busywithdogs.com/dog I hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions.

      That is a lot of work. I hope it works for you. We had to do a similar process last year when we had an infestation. This tag is working nicely as a preventative, which I love because of how much work we had to do in the past. Just a caution: I had a dog that had seizures caused by pine-based cleaning products, so I stopped using them entirely. It may not be an issue for your furbabies, but it is worth mentioning.

    Use Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade as a powder on the fur and Brewer's Yeast in their food. Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade can also be used in the house to kill them under the base board, floor cracks, carpets and then vacuumed up. The Brewer's Yeast helps with skin and fur conditioning. Give these a shot. They're both food grade/edible so the animals can ingest these no problem and you can use the Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade to help control cholesterol. Check for dosage and frequency. Good luck.

      Hey, thank you for the suggestions. We did just that last year and years past (AND MORE) but still had to resort to chemical flea prevention. This is the first year we have not had flea issues. In the first part of the year, we continued with the Nexguard but over the summer we have been able to transition all three dogs to the BioPower PetShield, and after several months with these tags still no fleas, even during the heart of flea season. Where we live flea season is roughly 9 months long and is intense, this is the first natural product that has worked for our animals. The tag is easy to use and is supposed to last for an entire year. The amount of time, energy, and money that I used to battle fleas for my animals was a lot and unsuccessful. I am a classically trained holistic practitioner and have been using natural products my whole life, and I was getting very disheartened with the lack of good results with natural remedies for flea prevention. I still believe in using those products, my dogs get brewer's yeast every day and we keep Diatomaceous Earth on hand at all times. (Yes, it is a good source.) My dogs also take apple cider vinegar and other things to help with the fleas. The tag has been an absolute blessing and has made the work I have to do to prevent my animals from getting fleas go down significantly. I am a busy mom with multiple disabilities and this product has just been a God send. I understand that it is not for everyone, but it is for me and my family.

    I have a few reasons, as to why I need a service dog, but I feel like there not serious enough, and that im just being stupid, I would really like some advice. Like I said I have a few reasons, so this will be quiet long. mental reasons, I wouldn't say its PTSD but for certain sounds I quietly freak out and my heart beats really fast and hard and my head starts to get fuzzy/hurts, its not like loud crowds, but more like (obnoxiously) loud cars/motorcycles going by, weather im in my house, or out and about, or a loud boom, like random fireworks or gun shots (I live by teen idiots) or just other random loud sounds, I'll just freeze up, also shaking, not me but surroundings, like earthquakes I start to panic and freeze up and my heart beat gets fast and hard, and my head starts to get fuzzy and I get scared confused, even if its not an earthquake and I just feel a shaking, even if its extremely brief. I dont know why it happenes it just does, one time I even completely broke down sitting on the floor shaking and crying for like 30mins because I thought there was an earthquake (even though then I lived in apartments) I always felt like an idiot after. Physical reasons, Ive just found out why ive had knee pains my whole life (in only 17 so not to long lol) , and imbalancement, as well as weakness in my knees, and ive wondered if a, mobility dog/service dog??? would be able to help me get up when I get something low, or help me grab things from the floor, or even help me knees stop giving out, by standing in front of me supporting my knees. I've also have always wondered if dogs could smell things like cancer, could they smell pain, I get random strong headaches (sometimes that makes me just want to pass out or something) and chest pains out of nowhere, and it really sucks, maybe if I get a service dog it could smell the pain before I feel it, and help me prepare/brace for it or something? I dont know, I feel like Im being attention seeking. And that I don't need one, but also do, i feel like if i was to need one id be told of the option, but Ive also haven't really told anyone about most of that, just the knee issues, anyone have any suggestions, based on what I've said above? I really don't want to take resources away from someone who could actually need it, I dont know, I feel like Im just over reacting about my issues. Please tell me the truth, and the full truth, as to why I do/dont, should/shouldn't, or what I could do, I really don't know about any of this? I need outside opinions. please help me. 😢

      Hi, sweets, nothing about what you are going through is dumb, that is very heavy stuff, and even if it were "just in your head" that is still what you are going through and no one should have to live like that. I am sorry that you are going through this and that therapists have not been able to help you, I hope and pray that you can find someone who can help you. I do think that a Service Dog could improve the quality of your life, but, before you go do the journey of getting a service dog make sure you and your family and support team are all open to the idea. I would also highly recommend you and your family watch Laura @doggyu www.youtube.com/@DoggyU she is a Service Dog trainer, she uses a Service Dog herself, and will be getting her a new Prospect this Fall. She has a lot of information on Service Dogs and what to look for in a dog, how to handle going out in public, and more. A book that I found very helpful is "The Ultimate Service Dog Training Manual" amzn.to/3MrPLSK (Amazon affiliate link) but I found it at my local library. This book explains the legal rights of Service Dogs, what qualifies a dog to be a Service Dog and more. All of the things that you mentioned above are tasks that Service Dogs can be trained to help with. For the "panic" episodes that you experience, a dog can be trained to help you find a safe space to be in, to interrupt your behavior and bring you out of it, or to go get help. There are so many nuances to what you described I think that you do not need to go the owner training route, you need an already trained dog that a professional trainer can help you tailor the dog's tasks to your needs. For the picking at yourself, a dog can be trained to interrupt that as well or go get help, however, you do need a professional trainer who can evaluate you and the dog to decide what is going to be the best and safest choice for both you and the dog. For the mobility stuff, that is definitely something a dog can help with and I am going to be training my Service Dog Prospect to do it. Clover is 9 months old and can already close cabinets and the fridge for me. I will be branching out to train her to open them soon. I also will be training her to pick things up for me. Dogs can be trained to do brace, but again, a professional Service Dog Trainer would be able to help you to know what is going to be the best method for you and your dog. Depending on the source of your pain, some dogs can be trained to smell it. There are migraine detection dogs that use scent to detect a migraine a few hours before the handler experiences any symptoms. This is very difficult to train, but it can be done. Clover is very in tune with me and is starting to show me that she knows when I am in pain or if a food will trigger pain. This is something that she is presenting on her own, not all dogs will take to this naturally. I will say, I do think you need to be VERY specific about what breed you get. I do not think that a herding breed like Clover is the best option for you. Herding breeds are extremely in tune with their handler's emotion and they are prone to be reactive in nature. So if you have an emotional episode a herding dog will want to react and get the "bad guy", take control of the situation, and protect you from what is upsetting you. They can become anxious because of this. This could leave you trying to control an anxious animal which will not help you. A breed like a Golden Retriever from the correct breeding line with good family temperament will not get sucked into your emotional state because of their happy-go-lucky demeanor, this will allow them to do their job and do the task needed to help you in that state. Whereas a breed like a German Shepherd or Australian Cattle Dog are both prone to anxiety in these situations. Yes, there are exceptions to this, however, when you are talking about getting a Service Dog the success rate is already low, 30%, so choosing a breed that is going to have a better match to begin with is going to increase your odds of success. Also, you mentioned wanting a dog to retrieve things for you, having a retrieving breed will LIVE to bring you your things. Goldens have what's called a "soft mouth" meaning that they do not tend to bite hard on the item that they are carrying. But, this also means that they don't like to pick up hard objects and have to be trained for it. But again, working with a trainer will help. I hope that you find this helpful, the truth is, only you and your support team (family, friends, doctors, or whoever you have to help you) can decide if a Service Dog is right for you, but again, I can definitely see that one could greatly improve the quality of your life and that you do have REAL needs that a Service Dog can be trained to assist with. If you and your team decide that this is the right route for you keep in mind that is a long, hard road, and it can get expensive. Sometimes insurance and different programs can help, other times they won't. There are often long wait lists. It's a long and hard road. Even with Owner Training, it took me almost a full year to find a breeder, and that is shorter than most people's time frames. You also need to make sure that you and your support team are emotionally, mentally, physically, and financially able to take care of a dog. Service Dogs' needs are more than the average dog's because of the jobs that we ask them to do, but they do incredible jobs. And, this may seem obvious, but you do need to be a dog person or are willing to become a dog person. Your lifestyle will become about you and your dog. You will be a team, so you need to like dogs. I hope that this answer helps, I know that it was long, but a short answer would just not do. I am rooting for you. Let me know if you have any more questions, and I will try to answer or help you find resources to people who can answer your questions. Blessings.

      @@Izamota-q5v not really, I'm pretty closed off, and feel like when I talk about my issues to people Im being dramatic, with one problem after another and so on and so forth, but I would like to as long is its not a rushed thing, like I go to a Dr and they ask me about everything, but are also rushing me to get to the next person, although I know that's how it is, I know I could get a therapists opinion and they could recommend me a service dog or something, but I don't have the money or time right now, plus my mom always working (Im 17) and I feel like Im a bother if I was to ask her to take me to see a Dr for my issues I've just lived with for as long as I could remember, almost like in my head it plays her getting mad, and stuff that I'm complaining a lot more now, and how all this stuff is just coming up, but really it's something I just didn't talk about much then, I also asked her opinion about a service dog for me and actually let her read what I had wrote above telling all the reasons, but she said no, the reason was valid I guess though, I have 2 dogs and 4 cats one which I'm just taking care of for a year, the others are mine, but before I started taking care of the 4th cat I had a puppy, who passes from a disease common in puppy, I was actually going to try and train her part mobility help, and stuff that I could, but never got to it before she passed, I would have had 3 dogs 3 cats, now I have 2 dogs 4 cats, but my mom wants me to get rid of all 4 of the cats, saying another dog is to much, which I do get, but getting rid of all my cats for one dog, which I would have had along with my 3 cats, I don't fully think that's fair, but she's my mom, so unless I get a stable(good) income and could get a house, Im unable to get a service dog to help me. I'm just ranting I guess, it's a bit upsetting for me, for her to think I'd give all my cats away for 1 dog, but, I'm just not going to try again, I break down in the face of conflict so in just giving up, but it was nice to think I could have gotten help, and another buddy, and that people do think what's a daily to me is actually serious, and that I do need help. :( thanks for helping me realize I would actually benefit from a service dog though.

      That is a lot of animals, so I understand Mom's position. I hope you and your mom can find a doctor who will listen to you and help you. If you are in the U.S. (you don't have to tell me) your doctor works for you, so if they are not listening, you can fire them and find a new one. I know it is not that it is not as simple as it sounds, but there are ways. If you can, find someone who can help you and your mom advocate for you. You deserve to be listened to, and if you know something is wrong, then your doctor should listen to you. It is not attention-seeking to get help. It is not being over dramatic. And even if it were, that would in itself be a sign of a need to be helped. But, getting help can take time, it can take a lot of searching. So, have heart and don't give up. It may be worth looking into Holistic Doctors, they look at the whole person and also take more time with their patients/clients. Many will spend an hour with them. Also, chiropractors (not all) often have holistic practices and tend to listen more in-depth to their patients. As far as the Service Dog, if you know this is the path you want to take in the future, take time to work on being the best dog handler you can be with your current dogs. In the meantime, do all the research you can and get all the help you can get. It's a long process, so take time to learn and prepare as you can. You may decide that this is not the route you want to take. Even if Mom was on board to get one right now, it would still likely be a few years before you could get one. You have a future to prepare for, with or without a Service Dog, so do all you can to have a good life.

    Off topic love the central perk planter mug and the floral pants! I swear I think we would have fun shopping together. Now onto the puppers. Did your son give her a mean look? She might just be mad at him for something but in all seriousness yes, sometimes you have to retrain the potty training. I swear they think but you do this in your little room why can I do this in a room? lol With the wet feet thing, yeah my girls still try that to this day and I have to walk out with them and then they do their business perfectly fine. I wonder if that is partially why she doesn't go out for the rest of the family because she wants you with her. 8 months can be a nightmare. Is she spayed? If not that is one of those moments where hormones and grow spurts are happening and sooo much energy. I had to laugh at the bark jump she did because all I could think was heeler alert mode started! She must get good music vibes from your little drummer man but it is strange how they can pick and choose what they accept or not. Clover reminds me a bit of Clea from what you were describing, like that isn't the rules and it upsets the mother! Clea is very picky on who and how kids are reacting around her too but thankfully she knows when to stop when we tell her we got it. I love that you don't get mad at her for her being her. Of course you wouldn't but you know what I mean. So many owners would be doing other things to "correct" her behavior and it's like you said she's wanting to protect and help be a part of her family. You got this woman! Like you said nothing wrong with going back to basics.

      Aww thanks, Friends is my comfort and is my favorite show. We would have so much fun shopping! No, she actually doesn't react to my kids when they do decide to be bratty towards her, which is WILD to me. I do get onto them when they are rude to our dogs, our 4 year old is the only one likes to tease the dogs and he gets into a lot of trouble for it. It doesn't happen often. I also do not leave my small children alone with any of our dogs for any length of time. He just run into the room loudly and she knows noise bothers me. We working really hard to let her know that it is okay that the kids run around and make noise and that it's not her job to stop them. My kids have started telling her, "not your job, Clo" and that seems to help. I think it's like you said with Clea, she is just knows mama doesn't like it, therefore it must be stopped. She goes into Cattle dog herding mode to stop them. I want to get her a herding ball so she has a better outlet for her instincts. She is not spayed, but she has already gone through her first heat, and that was INTENSE. We had to keep her from the other dogs while her hormones did their thing. We will get her spayed, but I prefer to wait until my dogs are 1-2 years old. She is overall a great dog and I know this phase will end, I just have to make sure that she isn't picking up nasty habits along the way.
