@limobustruckfleet I read your previous posts- there is no shame in rehoming. The breeder knowingly bred an unstable dog and your family unfortunately are paying the price. The blame is not on you but on them.

@jnite37 Consult a professional trainer to re-condition the collar but be prepared that he might not be a good fit for the collar. FWIW a beep is more aversive than the stim to most dogs, mine included.

@annnnnie https://instagram.com/hellak9s they’re in San Diego, definitely reach out- you need a trainer to guide you through this.

@r%C3%A9union The small ones are relatively light: https://rufflandkennels.com/product/medium-kennel-2/ They're the cheapest of the crash tested kennels.

@wendysnoad Yes, I would upgrade her.

@r%C3%A9union You can use ratchet straps and thread it through the handle maybe? I think if you wanted to be super safe and secure it would be worth it to invest in a Ruffland Kennel or similar since they have screws for tie-down D-rings. Here's my dog in ours

@lost_soul This dog has bitten both dogs and humans, I don't think it's fair to continue to ask your wife to deal with it considering you have done much more than most people would have. At this point you are choosing the dog over your wife's mental and possibly physical health. You have to...

@sdr77 Is she in a pen or tethered to anything? If so and she's just following you as you get away - it sucks but just be as boring as a tree and get away as quickly and calmly as possible. If not containment will work best here. Our husky was either in a pen or tethered to the sofa until he was...

@thruve I think in scenario 3 it might be worth it to have her on a drag long leash then, since the more she practices blowing you off the more she's going to do it, especially during adolescence when they're testing how far they can push boundaries. For biting honestly if you yelp that's how...

@michael10sley We’re waiting til 2022, so he’ll be 2.5 years old then :) he’s also much better behaved now, his nightmare phase was 12-14mo lol. He is 18mo in three days :)

@thruve Scenario 1: Time outs. Puppy should be either in a pen or on a drag leash in the house at this stage in puppy biting so I either leave the pen or clip the leash onto a sofa and leave the room. Scenario 2: Say their name and start running backwards, high pitched enticing "Puppy puppy...

@raised2newlife My car crates block my rear view too, I use my side mirrors like a trucker lol. It works well once you get used to it. I use Ruffland Kennels which run $400-500 depending on what size you get, so it's less pricy than a Revol.

@mrorvelle Yesss that's what I'm hoping for :) Our pup will be 2.5-3 years old when we get our new one and I'm excited that it's going to be way easier second time around bc 1) we're getting a chiller breed and 2) don't need to rely on puppy socials and the good graces of other people for dog...

@ohm_resistor LOL when our puppy was being a nut and demand barking in his pen I would say "We don't negotiate with terrorists". Anyway we have 3 cats and when we first got our puppy I had mental breakdowns/crying fits for almost two months, I felt like our lives were ruined and I ruined the...

@pastmoon To be fair our next dog is going to be the easiest one I can find that fits our needs - a golden retriever haha. My fiance and I both agreed no more spitz breeds.... but who knows. Our husky was a pain but his personality is very fun, and he's so smart.

@pastmoon That’s what I said about mine and now we’re getting ready to welcome another puppy in a year 😂 it gets so much better and you get complacent. I’m ready to suffer again

@terrywoodenpic We added our second dog when our first was roughly two years old. I definitely waited until he was past adolescence and solid on pet manners (recall, loose leash walking, near zero obedience latency, no door dashing or counter surfing) before even contacting breeders. Once we...
