[vent] LEASH YOUR AGGRESSIVE DOG WTF https://ift.tt/eA8V8J Ok so I was at a beach (don't know if I'd call it that, it's more of a little patch of sand that shows up for a few hours a day behind my building) And this guy was there with two dogs, they were playing fetch, ok, that's fine. But I wanted to go home without having to wait for my dog to play or say hi, so I leashed him and started crossing the beach When out of no where the big dog starts running in my dog's direction growling and foaming and barking and tries to attack him! He avoided the first try and for the second I got in-between them and kicked he other dogs head and it ran away. It didn't help or anything so it wasn't a bad hit. Just enough to stop them. Still they started circling around to get at my dog AGAIN. The owner came gold his dog and know what he said???? "Oh sorry, MY DOG DOESN'T LIKE WHEN OTHER DOGS ARE LEASHED" ????????? THEN DONT FUCKING HAVE IT LOOSE ON A PLACE WHERE YOURE MOST LIKELY TO ENCOUNTER DOGS ON LEASH???? what kind of fucked up excuse is that??? If you KNOW your dog attacks leashed dogs while lose.... don't let him lose???? Wtf is wrong with people???? dogs

[Help] Red flag from breeder or just them being responsible? https://ift.tt/eA8V8J I messaged a corgi breeder asking if I could visit their home where they breed the pups and they said they don’t allow visitors. Full context: Hi, To answer your question about coming to see us: Because we have pregnant females here, and then infant and baby corgis who have not been vaccinated, we cannot allow visitors, just as necessary health precautions. We limit visitors just to the new parents when they come to pick up their vaccinated 8 week old puppies. Even then, we have to quarantine everyone else for the visits.:0) That being said, we do, of course, show photos to the adoptive families whose names have come up on the waiting list, and as much as possible, allow them to choose from several puppies. If their ideal color or sex is not available, they can always choose to wait for another litter, too. It is always my goal for each family to get the puppy of their dreams! Another thing I do is that once you have chosen your puppy, I send you photos every few days so you can watch it grow. I am the only breeder I know who does this, but I think it is important for bonding. :0) Our waiting list is out to next Spring, now. Companion corgis with regular coats are $1700 or $2350 for a fluffy. If you are interested in getting on the list, please fill out the application on the website. Do you guys think this sounds shady or is it normal? dogs

[Help] Full time muzzling options https://ift.tt/eA8V8J We have an older large dog (10 yo, we have had him his whole life) who has recurrent, unpredictable biting of humans and other dogs. He has been doing this since he was a puppy. If I could describe them best I would say they are fear-based "charge and nips", then he turns and runs away (no "mauling", full-jaw bites or pursuit). Usual occurrence is when someone comes to our front door or is near our backyard, but again it's not consistent or predictable. If he was a smaller dog it would probably not be an issue due to low damage potential, but he is a large dog and he has broken skin multiple times (no serious injuries). Throughout his life we have tried hard to socialize him with other dogs and humans. I am a lifelong dog owner and have done rigorous clicker training with him. After one bite years ago we had him see a professional behavior therapist who had him at his place for 3 weeks with plenty of other dogs (no issues). We also escalated to E collar training. He has also been on medications which helped with his anxiety when needed. Honestly, all of this has really mellowed him out, he follows commands and overall is extremely sweet with our family and most every dog and human he meets once the initial "greeting period" is managed. Unfortunately, he keeps having these episodes - usually once per year or so despite everything we are doing to minimize risk. This time no one got seriously hurt, but if it would have been a child they could have been. So basically, we are running out of options. Based on my reading it seems most consistent with idiopathic aggression - again it's been lifelong, infrequent, unprovoked, and usually unpredictable despite our training. He is a part of our family, but has been the most difficult dog I have ever raised and I'm not sure my family is willing to keep rolling the dice on "getting lucky" with who he sporadically nips. He has enough of a human bite history that I doubt I could get a person to rehome him (or even if I did, would it be moral?). After long discussions with my wife, we are left with the heartbreaking option of euthanizing him, versus muzzling him throughout the day when the house is not locked up for the night. This would provide a near continuous physical barrier to him nipping - eliminating the risk prettymuch completely - while allowing him to drink water and accept treats. I am doing very careful muzzle acclimation and accommodation, and am currently using the Barkington Ultra muzzle which is light weight, breathable, and allows him to take treats and drink water. We are hoping it can be like "a pair of glasses" that he puts on in the morning after breakfast and takes off at night. I appreciate any advice, particularly on any muzzles that are comfortable and ok for long term use (I know that's not the intent of really any muzzles, but right now it's one of our last options). Any other thoughts on the situation would be appreciated. Thanks. dogs

[Help] Do dogs react to human puberty? https://ift.tt/eA8V8J I have a 3 year old border collie mix that we've had since he was 6 weeks old with no behavioral problems. Until last week. Now he gets scared/ aggressive with my 10 year old son. There's no evidence that the boy has done anything to the dog-he's tender hearted with animals. I mention puberty bc the boy has definitely started down that path recently. Could his scent be different, now?I'm at a loss, here. Because we all love the dog but I have to think about my kid's safety. I'm hoping someone has experienced this and can shed some light. Thanks. dogs mangina_mart

[Discussion] Losing my best friend on Sunday. https://ift.tt/eA8V8J Tomorrow my boy, Max, will be 13 years old. He's been with me since I was 8 years old and he was just 6 months. Almost 5 years ago, he was hit by a car and has been paralyzed from the waist down ever since. The vet told my parents that he would never be able to walk again and perhaps should think about putting him to sleep. My siblings and I threw a fit and sobbed. We refused and begged them to save him. We ended up bringing him home from the vet just to see if he'd improve from being in a familiar place with his family and our other pup. He quickly recovered and seemed back to his normal self, just, y'know, unable to walk. We got him a doggie wheelchair and he adapted to his new life. We'd wheelbarrow him around if he wanted to move places and my mom would help him go to the bathroom and change his diapers. Everything had been going well until this past year. He started to whimper out of nowhere and scream in pain randomly. He stopped eating at times and then things seemed to be back to normal a week later. It was a lot of back and forth. We got in touch with a vet working within an animal hospice service and explained the situation. She provided us with medication and said if there was no improvement, we'd have to discuss alternatives like euthanasia. He ended up responding very well to the medication and we concluded that his teeth/mouth was hurting him which is why he'd stop eating and yelp at times. For months he'd been doing well and then again, he started declining, even with the medication. It's come to the point where we've scheduled an appointment for this Sunday, August 18, for him to be put down. I've been spending every moment with him, crying and holding him, giving him cuddles and kisses, and trying to come to terms with losing him forever. I've been reading tons of posts on reddit and those poems about dog deaths and I don't know what to do. I'm not a religious person so having him die is him ceasing to exist. My mom ordered a pet casket and we plan on burying him in our yard and I bawl just thinking of his body being put in there and covered in dirt and him just being gone. I sometimes think, "What if he doesn't want to go? What if he'll improve?" But I look in his eyes and know this isn't the life I want for him or he wants. I guess I'm just here to rant but also wanting to hear from others. dogs

[Help] Our family dog (16) has been diagnosed with Stage 3 kidney disease and is showing symptoms of end of life. What should we do? https://ift.tt/eA8V8J Bobby is a 16 year old blue tan Yorkshire Terrier mixed with a Chinese breed. The past 2 weeks or so he has been acting very lethargic and sad (shaking all the time). He started vomiting (mainly bile) every morning for the past week and has been off-balance when walking. We took him to the vet on Wednesday and they did a blood test. The results showed Stage 3 Kidney Disease and the vet recommended a special k/d diet of wet and dry dog food. He had more tests today and he also has a urine infection (blood in the urine) and too much protein in his kidneys. We have purchased all of the necessary dog food and cooked him chicken and rice (on the vet’s orders). However, he hasn’t drank anything in about 15 hours and has not eaten anything in over 24 hours. He is even more off-balance now. We have tried to get him to drink water and eat but he refuses. He also smells really bad despite being clean. The vet said this was related to the recent bouts of diarrhoea. I’m guessing it’s flatulence, though it smells much fouler than the usual gassiness. The vet said that if he stays on this k/d diet then he could live another few years, however, he is an extremely fussy eater and has been fed free range chicken, Aberdeen Angus beef and lots of lovely fresh meals since he was a puppy (my mum treats him like her baby!). There is not a chance he will eat it (obviously we will try but we know him too well). He is showing all of the symptoms of being near of the end of his life, however, the vet said he is not in pain and she doesn’t think he’s near the end of life. However, everything suggests otherwise. He looks so miserable and is sitting in his basket listening to everything with his eyes half open TRYING to get to sleep. Last night he was sick all night and had diarrhoea so it could just be tiredness but the lack of eating and drinking is making us worried. We are worried he is going to starve or die of dehydration now. We know Bobby is not right and are concerned the vet is just prolonging the treatments, doing every test imaginable, etc. to make money (it’s a corporation not a private, family vet). We’ve spent over £500 the past few days on everything together. I don’t have any questions other than: What would you do in our situation? Does it call for him to be put to sleep? We’re devastated :( dogs LowFinding

[Fluff] New pup has gone from a home where the other animals hated him to our home with his new best friend. (Puppy tax included) https://ift.tt/eA8V8J A coworker of mine recently made the tough decision to rehome her puppy after a few weeks as he and their older dog and cats were at odds with one another creating a stressful environment for everyone. I have gained so much respect for her for making the tough choice to rehome the puppy and not her senior dog as is far too common in my area (and in general). Anyway, Gimli has now been with my fiancé, our other pup, Phoenix, and I for two weeks and so far we’re all so happy! He’s a good boy with mostly good manners and of course, his cute factor certainly doesn’t hurt. Mostly, I’m so thankful that not only have Gimli and Phoenix become best friends, but the new pup has helped Phoenix with his separation anxiety tremendously. (No, getting another pup wasn’t our solution, but rather it was a happy perk of the new addition.) So far, Phoenix has been a great big brother in playtime & snuggles, teaching him how to own those scary stairs, sharing the best treats, protecting him from the dreaded vacuum and lawnmower, and to my dismay, teaching him how to dig the best holes. Please enjoy the puppy tax as I cannot help but share my joy with anyone who will listen! Puppy tax: Gimli & Phoenix dogs dog_mom92
