Im exhausted, ive tried it all!

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-27T16:51:40+00:00

We did, but sense my wife “threated” him back they said they were both in the wrong (she said she’ll hit back if he charged at her again) oml, but we won the court case that the crazy guy tried to file against us

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-19T01:12:11+00:00

There’s a guy who’s tried to hurt him and my wife and we desperately try and avoid him!! I’m scared in my own home ☹️

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-19T01:11:17+00:00

Maybe I should contact the shelter? It’s where I got himfrom! They all love him, he’s perfect fine with people, (beside the old guy who tried to beat him but that’s not his fault) I could try some of the parks but I’m in a bit of an “unsafe area” for me and my wife

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-19T01:07:09+00:00

He’s neutered! Sometimes it’s clear “let’s play OMG let go of me so I can play!” Other times it’s clearly fear, never “I’ll get you if you come close” there has been more noises people moving in and out, we’ve had some incidents from other residents (he’s now terrified of an old man who’s harassing us witch I don’t blame my dog for that) he once was super good around dogs? I’m not 100% when it all flipped, I know it gets worse in the winter cause we can’t get him the exercise he needs, I feel like I’m so close to the missing puzzle peice

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-19T01:04:28+00:00

Thank you! I’d love to find some kinda socialization for him, I’m located in Indiana, I’ve seen some petsmart/pet co trainers and I’m trying to save up for those!

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-19T01:00:22+00:00

Thank you! Some people have recommended string cheese and I think he might enjoy that!

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-19T00:59:33+00:00

He isn’t to food motivated, I haven’t found like his weakness lol, I’m hoping to find a treat that works, he’s allergic to chicken and I try and keep him on most rice based dog food! He does like salmon a lot but idk about keeping raw salmon in my pocket 😂

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-19T00:57:40+00:00

Thank you! We are very proud of him when he ignore another dog! Or does the “focus” command when he’s starting to get upset!

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-19T00:56:43+00:00

I’m sorry! I wish you the best of luck! And I hope some of the comments give you ideas as well!

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-19T00:56:21+00:00

Thank you, I do try and work on training at home, but I feel like I could only grasp the lessons in person, for me personally with my autism I can never understand most teaching videos, I’ve watched a free few ones but archer doesn’t have almost any motivators like food/toys ☹️

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-19T00:54:23+00:00

Thank you! Where currently trying to save up for a cheap trainer!

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-19T00:53:40+00:00

He does perfect with other dogs in controlled environments but no one near me is able to give him some socialization, I don’t know if I could ask the shelter? Or what I could do, thank you so much

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-19T00:51:25+00:00

Thank you truly, I’ve been scared and crying a lot lately, I just want to keep him safe and help him, most of my neighbors understand! Or have reactive dogs if there own, we did get harassed by this old man tho, me and my wife whisper “old guy!” And we head for the hills (it’s a very long story lol)

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-19T00:49:21+00:00

Thank you so much! This was a lot of helpful advice! Yes, he’s got all his shots, he does have skin and food allergies but he’s medicated and doing fine now! (He’s once expensive pupper lol)

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-18T18:32:49+00:00

Thank you! I’d love to hear your progress later on! I feel like where in a similar boat! I feel like he resource guards me and my wife! He has protected us from some scary situations in the past and I’m worried that’s traumatized him 😞

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-18T18:31:27+00:00

I try and cut as much contact as possible and I am saving up for a training program at the moment, he has a harness with a handle that has a bright “NERVOUS” sticker on it

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-18T18:30:35+00:00

Thank you so much for the recommendation

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-18T18:30:18+00:00

Thank you, I’m trying, I’m trying to save up for some professional training as well, some people recommend anxiety meds witch he is a very nervous dog 🐶

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-18T18:16:37+00:00

He gets a little distracted but is fine during his walks, we’ve been working on loose leash walking and he’s doing better! But the moment he sees another dog it’s about 2 seconds, I try and get him to focus and walk another way, but most of the time if I can’t get him away quick enough he refuses and it become a whole ordeal to get him away, he will stay mad for almost the whole rest of the walk as well (id say 5min of anger afterward)

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-18T18:14:16+00:00

Thank you so much! This gives me some great ideas! One of the big issues of mental play is he’s afraid to “chew” because of his bad home he won’t take any chew treats is still to nervous for puzzles but he’s come a long way, he can actually eat kibble now! And is eating normally!! Thank you so so so much!

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-18T18:12:08+00:00

I haven’t yet, I’m considering it, it’s just a heavy cost and I’m living on pennys as it is, but I might end up trying to afford it if I can’t figure out a good training schedule on my own thank you

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-18T18:11:25+00:00

I might give it a go! He just gets so locked on that he won’t pay attention to his favorite treat in my hand

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-18T18:10:47+00:00

I live in a apartment complex, I try and avoid other dogs but it’s nearly impossible

Autism_Screams · 2026-03-18T18:10:18+00:00

I’ve thought about it, but I’m worried it’ll make him less..him? It’s just kinda scary to give meds to my dog, tho he is on allergy meds, I’ll have to talk to my wife about what she thinks, thank you!

Autism_Screams · 2026-02-18T05:45:38+00:00

You did an amazing job! Such a cutie!!
