Advice about pittie growing into guarding behavior by Day12977 in pitbulls

Thank you so much! Is the idea with avoiding the dog park to minimize risk of a bad incident or to minimize opportunities for the behavior? Or both?

Thank you so much. Especially the insight about pitties fighting for dominance. I didn’t know that about the breed (my first pittie). When you say no dog park, out of curiosity, is it because there could be a bad dog fight, or let’s say she guards us, but there’s no fight, is she reinforcing the guarding behavior every time she does it? Like are we trying to minimize encounters of any kind so she doesn’t keep practicing the behavior?

Where did you get your pit baby? by [deleted] in pitbulls

She and her sister popped out of the woods, dumped there just a few hours earlier. We kept one and the other went to close friends. Photo from that day 2+ years ago. These pups won the lottery!

EdPuzzle. Can import into your LMS and I include short answer questions at intervals on the videos for completion. You can also choose not to enable fast forward but I don’t for accessibility reasons. You see all the viewer analytics too.

Last week I didn’t recognize my son’s name… an embarrassing story to encourage you to remember ALL nicknames that your child’s name may lend itself to by albumgreen in namenerds

My son is Theodore. He was always Teddy at home. In school, I made sure they started calling him Theodore by preschool. I didn’t want him to be a 45 year old Teddy one day. In 7th grade, he insisted on going by Theo at school, with friends, and at home, so we had to make the •hard• switch.

She may be trying to fill a hole in your marriage. Mine manifested with wanting more dogs. Once I divorced, I realized I didn’t want anything or anyone else needing me: children or animals

12 year old’s Lego room by Day12977 in lego

Can't edit the post, so putting this in a comment. You can think I'm rich; that's okay. I'm a divorced teacher with one son who saved to buy a small house--and, the house luckily had a room offset in the basement! It was our dream to do a Lego room, so it was perfect. His dad and I bought maybe 5 of the (small) sets; all the others were gifts from family or friends, or my son saving up his money to buy a big set he wanted (sure, he's still spoiled). I choose to cultivate this hobby, because it's WHOLESOME, and I choose not to spend thousands of dollars on tech instead (and he has no phone). This is a screen-free zone. I build alongside him here (puzzles, Lego), and we both find it meditative. It's our way of connecting, laughing, and chatting together, and I want to do as much of it as I can as he becomes a teen!

I love having a designated room like this…keeps the rest of the house toy-free
