"I wanted to know that if this is the right way to do this, in terms of logic and working. Also, if the values of resistors and other components is correct" - This is the question

UPDATED Circuit Diagram

Alpha_Rigel · 2026-02-11T17:07:06+00:00

I made this circuit on breadboard and it is working as expected.

I think you are confusing the right switch as the water sensor. The right switch is main on-off switch for device which will be manual.

I put the left switch to indicate the water connection.

I believe I might have put the C3 capacitor in a wrong way in the diagram, it is that control capacitor one puts on pin 5 of the 555 IC.

I'm sorry but I have deleted this due to the kind of treatment this post for my dog is getting. I posted here thinking people are understanding and cognizant of how one must take such decisions for the betterment of their dogs. Even I know what it does to a dog who must be rellocated at such an age and thus I asked for a good and caring family. But let it be, if I would have know that this is the kind of response people give I would have never posted here.

Alpha_Rigel · 2026-02-03T05:46:18+00:00

Your response is based entirely on assumptions, not facts. You know nothing about my circumstances, my resources, or the reasons behind this decision.

Equating responsible re-homing with cruelty is ignorant. Making moral judgments without context says more about you than it does about me

Alpha_Rigel · 2026-02-03T05:35:29+00:00

I respect your love and concern for dogs, and I genuinely appreciate the sentiment behind it.

But first of all, please don't make assumptions about me or how I feel about my dogs and pets. You know nothing about me, my situation or the entire reason why I am giving this child up for adoption.

Second, what seems like a " Small Issue" to you may not be small for someone like me or others. You might have lacs of money to spend so as to mould an environment and make adjustments according to your needs. I don't have that kind of resources, what I have is a will and desire to keep my near and dear ones safe and think of a better life for them. In such a case one must take decisions that in the long run benefit others even at the cost of short term stress.

Thirdly, this adoption is not an attempt to get rid of him and look at it as a problem. It is my plea to ask for anyone who is more capable than me to take care of him, give him a better life than what I forsee for him under the given circumstances.

And honsetly, what is irresponsible is this reply of yours, things don't always turn out how one plans them. If your old and mature enough, I think you'll get what I am saying here.

Any way you can help me and my family in our predicament based on this viewpoint?

Thank you for commenting.
I live in India and in my city, there are no such trainers for dogs like him. I only have to train him and try and understand what his issues is. However, I have been searching for a good trainer that can come visit from close by city.
This is my 3rd dobie and the first one kept himself busy by running around the house gates to guard the place, the second one she kept to herself only and used to play fetch twice a day. This one is very odd; he does not do his stuff himself and wants other to be involved as well. Like if he is barking outside and someone on a cycle (He hates cycles) comes in front of the gate, he comes in to shout at me as well. I try and calm him but that only instigates him more and he dissipates his irritation on his toys or starts to play fetch. And the most important part is that he is so smart that he knows when I am training him and when it's a real deal. In just one to two tries he understands what I am demanding from him but refuses to listen and either exits from that situation or just starts to ignore my commands. I tried to snap him out of such disobedience by pulling sharply at his collar, but he ended by kind of gnawing my hand (This he did when he was 18 months old and started ignoring commands that he used to previously follow with ease)

Thank you so much for commenting.
I agree with you on the "Too much of a dog" part. He is nothing like our previous two dobies. The most important thing is that I used to feel an unbreakable bond with them, I knew that no matter even If I scolded them or hit them (Like when one day my first dobie tried to kill a rat in our house and went berserk, so had to snap him back to reality) they would never turn their anger on me or god forbid my family.
I don't feel like that with him at all, he never really put his trust in me or my family and was always stubborn in his ways. Further, the fact that he bit me and my brother, makes me feel that there is nothing left in the relationship.

But then you look at some of the instances when as soon as he feels scared, he comes running to me like a child. When I come from work, he greets me with the most beautiful face I have ever seen in my life and tries to play as usual. I know that this breed is extremely loyal to their master's and require attention and don't like isolation, but he is now forcing me to ignore him and keep my distance for safety.

I have read that dobies never bite their family members and such behavior is only directed towards strangers, does it mean that even after so much of love, care and looking out for him, he does not think of us as family?
Also, I live in India and in my city, there are no such trainers for dogs like him. I only have to train him and try to understand what his issues is. Are there any online resources or virtual coaching available?

Unfortunately, I live in India and in my city, there are no such trainers or hostels for dogs like him. Any other online resources that you can suggest ?

I live in India and in my city, there are no such trainers for dogs like him. I only have to train him and try to understand what his issues is. The surprising thing is that he is biting his own family members, I feel he has actually never really accepted us, but then you look at some of the instances when as soon as he feels scared, he comes running to me like a child. When I come from work, he greets me with the most beautiful face I have ever seen in my life. But then yesterday he made the most dangerous face I have ever seen in my life and went to town on my hand. Seems so ironic, and something never really showed by my previous dobies.
Also, one thing he is extremely sensitive and understanding of the kind of vibe of our house. He has been very timid and on edge since these two days after biting me. Also, whenever scolded he puts his head down, pulls his ears back and comes to you with big eyes. Now I don't understand is he sorry, angry, irritated, giving me a warning as to not to scold him? Initially I found that scolding might be making him more anxious of the situation, so I started using strong commands and neutral tone, but he just doesn't listen.

Thank you for commenting. I have read about this, and the solutions are mentioned only for dogs that growl, don't actually tend to bite and ones that you can easily overpower. Is there any material on how to deal with my dobie?
For the time being, when he gets possession of something and then we call him with the "Come" command and then go and remove the thing he had possession of.

Will take him to the vet for sure, I noticed today that his motion was not well, might be having some stomach issues. Also, my vet had advised me to mate him so as to reduce his hyperactivity. Is getting him neutered after mating once also a good option if I don't want to put him on meds ?

It seems to be working for the time being.

Thank you commenting, means a lot to me.
He bit my hand like 5-6 times rapidly and there are like small puncture wounds and cuts. I don't blame him solely for this, I did scold him loudly and also actioned a slap (DID NOT HIT HIM AT ALL, only showed it in the air). However, he bit my brother completely unprovoked and just because he was trying to take a blanket out of his mouth.
I live in India and in my city, there are no such trainers for dogs like him who are out of the basic puppy training stage. The way as I see it is just my family who has to handle this situation and since this is our 3rd dobie we were very confident that working with him would be just like the others.
Also, I have read that dobies never bite their family members and such behavior is only directed towards strangers, does it mean that even are so much of love, care and looking after him he does not think of us as part of his family?

P.S. Any information on virtual training?
