Teething - my arm is raw

Hi all. So I have a 5mo old Australian Cattle Dog mix. He is obviously in prime teething mode, so he thinks my hands and arms are chew toys. I always try to get him to stop and redirect him to one of his toys. But of course he always seems to prefer my arm over all the toys he has. Is there one specific toy or trick that has helped with your puppy teething? We have so many toys and teething bones but he doesn’t seem to go to any of them unless we stick one in his mouth. Even then he’ll chew on it for a couple seconds and then come back to our hands. Any advice helps. Thanks!

Hi all! A few days ago we rescued our 5 month old Australian Cattle Dog / Boston Terrier Mix. He’s truly been really amazing considering he’s a puppy.

He knows basic commands like sit, come (work in progress) and stay (also work in progress).

Altho, anytime we have to step out for whatever reason like take out the garbage, he SPRINTS to the door with his nose right up to it ready to run out. If he were to run out without a leash, I don’t have much confidence he would listen and come back. Thankfully we’ve been quick enough to block him before he gets out. I really don’t want him to be doing this and it stresses me out a lot. To be fair, my last dog was the same and he REALLY wouldn’t come back. On a couple occasions I’ve had to chase him through the neighborhood sprinting to get him, otherwise he wouldn’t come back. So i think I have some PTSD from him lol!!

Anyone else have this issue? How can I correct it? Any advice helps. TIA :)

Everyone meet my 5 month old Australian Cattle Dog / Boston Terrier, Benny! We’ve had him for 48 hours and he’s been incredible. No potties in the house, doesn’t bark, and is very playful but LOVES his sleep.

How do you feel about Kendall Rae? I’ve been an avid fan for years, but recently her episodes are harder to get through…

I understand after becoming a mom you get perspective and view the world differently, but her tears seem completely insincere. Also - she describes the victim the same way EVERY time!!! Lastly, I find she recently started blabbing about unimportant things, maybe just to get the video longer? Idk… is it just me?
