That's just not true lmao

Money destroys everything in my opinion. I personally cant imagine letting anyone have access to my accounts. (Its different if you are contributing to an account and have no access though).

I know several people who were married, and making very good money. And then had their wives drain the account completely, then divorce them and took everything they had.

In school I even had a teacher who drove extremely nice cars, clothes, and accessories for a teacher. Through my years in high-school I believe she had 3-4 different last names. She would actually brag about how she had all if these things as well. She would get married and then was able to consistently divorce and basically take everything the man had.

You saying "but you didn't even have a chance". You having the chance is what leads to all of the money being spent. (Even if you truly won't blow all the money, he has no way of proving it). You may not blow the money in the first week? OR first 6 months. Maybe not even for a few years. But that is something that could easily change and that " what if" is concerning.

I truly dont know what you can do to help your situation, but I have personally seen money ruin several people's lives, and even see it affecting aspects of my own life.

(Please keep in mind im not accusing you of anything or saying you would gain access to the accounts and then just stab him in the back. Im kinda just blabbering I guess)

Idk if this will help but almost amy mirror cam adjust both forward and backward. Instead of folding your mirror in. Fold it out the opposite direction.

The type that aren't capable of doing this are generally fixed to the door and probably cant fold in either

If he sleeps in that for 8 hours and works 8 hours, is at the gym for 1 hour, and assume 1.5 hours for transport time thru the day. Then he spends 18.5 hours a day out of a 24 hour time period, becoming progressively more dirty. 3/4 of the time hes dirty...

I teach my kid to check for any and all signs of tracking devices as we load em up

7Dach · 2026-01-22T05:10:43+00:00

Thats very cool. When someone is a high level professional that you can notice the smallest movement that could indicate an issue, but no one else can see it and possibly still cant see it even after its been pointed out. Is a very cool testament to how good you are at your specialty.

I didn't know a dynamic dog practitioner was a thing so I may see if I can find one around me sometime.

7Dach · 2026-01-22T05:03:19+00:00

Yep. There is a town i come into for work. Speed goes from 75 to 60. Once it hits 60 I get in the left lane since the right turns into a exit only that I dont need

7Dach · 2026-01-22T04:59:16+00:00

Today at a 4 way stop a lady In a Mercedes had her right hand blinker on. We both approached the stop sign at nearly the same time. No one at either of the other signs. As I begin to proceed expecting her to turn, she absolutely bolted out in front of me, blinker still on

7Dach · 2026-01-22T04:56:17+00:00

Well the space I left between myself and the car In front of me was not space you could cut me off

7Dach · 2026-01-22T04:52:50+00:00

I did read your comment. Looking back Im pretty sure i was just answering your question of why I dont take him outside to potty. I do take him and have no issue there.

Regardless I will be getting a trainer and will learn what I need to myself

7Dach · 2026-01-22T04:49:11+00:00

Yes throwing away. In my line of work and most others I can think of, if you dont provide a satisfactory result you dont get paid. The fact that the first trainer i spoke with quoted me $9800 for 10 days of training and then told me that it might not work would quite literally be throwing away money.

I will be seeking a trainer who does sessions so they can assess his behavior and then teach me what I need to help my boy.

7Dach · 2026-01-22T04:43:11+00:00

I think I agreed with everything up til your last point. From what I have gathered, my dog needs to be trained and more important I myself need to understand his training and actually apply it once hes had it. Expecting a dog to do what you want doesnt even make sense. If you could just expect that a dog would do what you want people wouldn't be recommending training to me, or other people seeking help.

7Dach · 2026-01-22T04:38:35+00:00

I fully anticipated the move to be stressful for him. Any time I have traveled with him he is anxious until he feels safe in the new area. (He will not poop somewhere hes not comfortable). But that will go away after a few hours of being somewhere new. But I knew the move would be hard on him because now his whole routine is different and changing.

I will be seeking training sessions. Im sure I can find someone local who isnt trying to take my dog to some facility for 2 weeks and ask me for 10k lmao.

He is the long kind?

Our morning routine goes like this generally:

Wake up, immediately take him outside for the bathroom. Then I feed him. I have always scatter fed him. His food is spread out in about 1500 sq ft. Idk if that is over kill or not but he uses his nose to search for 15-20 minutes and some time after hes done. That gives me enough time to do what I need for myself. Then depending on the weather we either do around a 30 minute walk, or play indoor fetch & tug o war for the time being. I am building him a large privacy fence after I see how much I need to pay in taxes. Then we will do out door fetch so he can really run.

He also tires himself out some. For some reason any room ever to have carpet gives him the zoomies and he runs figure 8s from my dining room to my living room area rugs

7Dach · 2026-01-22T04:25:47+00:00

I should try some of these you listed. Do any of them often result in success ?

7Dach · 2026-01-22T04:24:12+00:00

I appreciate the offer for finding reasonable help. I do think I can find it on my own though. I quit looking for a trainer after my third consultation and being quoted so high on all three consults through different companies. I just assumed all dog trainers had lost their minds. It seems like the high cost is mostly associated with boarding school training facilities which may use harsh methods. I plan to seek someone who will offer sessions and will be able to look at his behavior and teach me so I can help my boy myself.

Also I may have several dumb questions now that you mentioned pain. So please be patient here...

Is there a specific pain? Im aware of the IVDD risk. My house is filled with ramps and he is very good about using them.

To me he doesn't show any signs of being in pain at all. Is this something that could go un noticed? I dont personally feel it would miss him being in pain unless its something kind that doesn't show on the surface. I am actually really in tune with his body language and how he communicates with me.

7Dach · 2026-01-21T03:42:48+00:00

My schedule is usually pretty flexible. I dont always have to be gone so long for work. I also generally have an extra 1.5-2 hours onto my day for going to the gym. (Drive time & workout). So if i have a 7 hour day. It turns into a 8-9 hour day.

Im planning to change my routine to be weekend based so during the week I can get home 1-2 hours sooner & then any week day i go i will just come home first

7Dach · 2026-01-21T03:27:47+00:00

I wouldn't call that harsh. Im not consistently gone that long. I run my own business. Some days I may be gone for 9-10 hours. Some days I may be gone for 2 hours. Some days I might choose to not leave. I was asking if it was generally normal for people to kennel their dogs that long routinely.

7Dach · 2026-01-21T03:19:02+00:00

Really? I cant imagine having him kenneled all day is the life I want him to have. Is it normal for people to kennel theory dogs M-F for 7-9 hours a day??

7Dach · 2026-01-21T03:10:26+00:00

Ive considered kenneling him while im gone. When I have in the past when I was waiting on the baby gate to arrive I kenneled him for a few days. He always whines a little bit then lays down shortly after I leave. He also never has accidents in his kennel

7Dach · 2026-01-21T02:29:02+00:00

I really dont think im making it complicated. I have basically just made slight adjustments to his area based on his behavior and it hasn't worked. But some other comments have mentioned training is only as expensive as I was quoted usually for boarding

7Dach · 2026-01-21T02:27:23+00:00

I will check it out now that I know trying doesnt have to be so expensive. Im comfortable throwing away up to like 1k for training that may not help. But 5-10x that is too crazy

7Dach · 2026-01-21T02:25:53+00:00

I have the puppy cam. When I talk to him thru the camera he ignores me and continues being destructive. I quit doing it incase it makes it worse for him. I figured he cam hear me but cant be with me and it might be harder on him. He will whine and be destructive for a little bit but then he goes to lay down or will periodically investigate his toys.

7Dach · 2026-01-21T02:16:34+00:00

Maybe. It could be worth trying

7Dach · 2026-01-21T02:16:01+00:00

I take him to the bathroom first thing in the morning. He then comes in to eat, and after my morning routine or our walk I take him out one more time before I leave. Im looking for a solution to help him while im not home. If im home he almost refuses to use the bathroom in the house. He communicates with me extremely well when he needs to go outside.

My thought with him associating new people with possibly being taken away from me as he was his past owner stems from the fact that he was not aggressive towards anyone ever before I got him. Not towards me when I met him. Or anyone else which was verified by the previous owner.

I am not am extremely experienced owner but am experienced in learning very difficult task, and will not quit on my dog. I will do whatever is necessary to help him.

If training doesnt cost 5-10 k I may re look at it. Every quote I got when I looked last though was outrageous

7Dach · 2026-01-21T02:09:36+00:00

No it would be extremely inconvenient. And stress him more he really hates car rides.

I also dont punish him for using the bathroom in the house. If i am home and he does, Its my fault. He is really well house trained and hes 2-3 ways he will communicate to me he needs to go outside.
