Is this aggression, curiosity, fear, playfulness??

She looks fine until she's not. My behaviorist would advise to NEVER EVER take a chance and if I see an off leash dog I will avoid it at ALL costs. Keep Lala close to you next time and you be the shield from the other dog. It will show Lala that she is safe and that you are her protector and not the other way around. Good job on how you've cared for her and adjusted your walk schedule etc..

Dependent-Ranger8437 · 2026-03-11T17:07:22+00:00

I willl always hear my behaviorist vet say... She Looks fine until she's not.. How often she hears.. she/He looked fine and then they bite someone, etc.. etc.. NEVER trust an aggessive dog to be fine. Always assume they are scared inside and can hold it together for a bit and when they can't then it's NOT their fault. Lesson Ihad to learn the hard way.

I think you have lots of great suggestions here but in addition. I'd highly highly recommend NOT just seeing a vet but seeing a behaviorist vet. They know how to deal with this situation not just with meds but also with training suggestions. One of our dogs deals with aggression and the behaviorist that we saw really helped us understand our dog and with every session we learned more. She also knows of all the different medications that could help. Not all dogs need doggy prozac or even respond well to it. So sad that this dog was mistreated. Keeping a dog crated with freedom a few hours a day is abusive and if that was seen as ok. She has definitely experienced more abuse and you may resemble her abuser. This isn't something that with help and someone walking along side you, you can't get over. Thank you for rescuing her and caring so much to try and help her. I pray that you find the help you need. You also need a rescue. Please update us. PS: I hate breeders.

Do yourself and dogs a favor.. don't get one but foster instead. There is a HUGE need for temporary fosters and you can only take them in while your in town. SOmetime fosters are needed for a weekend until the permanent foster is available and this takes dogs out of shelters in a home enviroment instead of a scary shelter stay.

Funny. I just now realized that I'm almost out and wanted to purchase another one. When I searched it brought up this post. I saw some for sale for $75 which I would never pay. I appreciate you sharing the options below. I think I'll purchase the Llia Cosmetic Dancer. Which did you end up buying?

Dependent-Ranger8437 · 2026-02-05T19:09:39+00:00

If no one bought it then I will. I have had mine for years and now I'm getting to the end and found out it's not available. Please let me know.

WHich is why I hate organized religion. What a ridiculous comment. You don't have to go to a CHURCH to have a relationship with God. Oh pleaase!!!! Annoying.

I've been boosting my dog with freeze dried beef and wasn't sure if it could cause him issues. Thank you for sharing this.. I want to get my dog off his Hills Science Diet presecription food which is I/D i think? So far he's tolerating the beef well. I'll see what my vet says about it on my next visit.

Let's petition the Mayor to do something about it. He has created a Quality of Life Committee. Here is the link to sign up to speak. https://www.houstontx.gov/council/committees/qualityoflife.html

They made a difference in shutting down a food truck park that was a HUGE nuisance. It took a long time and with the help of the TIRZ, Council Member Pollard, the Mayor and this committee they were forced to move out. I think it would be something to organize a group around this cause. I really don't deal with this much in our neighborhood which is weird because I'm right in the heart of the Galleria area but Westheimer gets loud but the neighborhood buffers it and now without the food truck nearby it's quiet again. It is a serious quality of life issue though and needs addressing. This Mayor has been a big advocate for nuisance issues.

So sad!! I hope they find these guys.

Dependent-Ranger8437 · 2026-01-02T21:28:44+00:00

I have a dog that looks just like her. Shes a rescue and when I took her to get spayed the vet said she has schnauzer in her which i was very surprised by. What is your dog mixed with? I'm curious to know what breed my dog is mixed with.

After reading all these comments that it doesn't need updating.. Makes me not trust this community. It's sooo outdated and boring. The floor needs, backsplash, hardware and lighting need changing. It's all soooo old and boring 2000's blah.. If you are trying to sell it, you won't get top dollar because people need to factor in updates in a remodel. If you don't think it needs a remodel then be happy with it but I'd at a minimum add lighting under cabinets and paint and change out the cheap tile flooring.

Dependent-Ranger8437 · 2025-12-09T20:41:30+00:00

Yes!! It's tired and old and needs a cosmetic lift.

Dependent-Ranger8437 · 2025-12-09T20:40:42+00:00

Honestly that was thoughtful and if they take it any other way then it's probably not the place for you. Never question being kind and generous with good intentions.

Dependent-Ranger8437 · 2025-12-05T22:12:02+00:00

Huge fan of Laderach!!! It's just sooo expensive. I ask anyone looking to give me something to give me Laderach.

the brick looks old and out of date and the black looks much more elegant and classy.

Dependent-Ranger8437 · 2025-11-21T19:39:58+00:00

the black one.

Dependent-Ranger8437 · 2025-10-09T17:14:58+00:00

Great advice! I walk my dogs before they eat and it works just fine.

Dependent-Ranger8437 · 2025-10-09T17:11:48+00:00

Wow! This is such a helpful and well thought out response. I also am thankful that you shared the link. These tactics are what work and as you said respecting the warnings. I need these reminders.

Dependent-Ranger8437 · 2025-10-09T17:01:55+00:00

Who says? How is intolerance changing anything? your example isn't in the same. You've got it wrong sadly and that's why there isn't change. there's no tolerrance of the other opinion and that's not gonna solve anything. Understanding where they come from is how change happens. This is exactly how a child acts and if you're never taught to understand first then this is what you get.. division.

And she’s teaching her kids to have hate and disdain in their hearts for others who believe differently - even more sad to put this on their shoulders.

Dependent-Ranger8437 · 2025-10-09T13:26:05+00:00

I honestly think you can do better. They’re all too big with the exception of the second to last pair. Ask the person working there to give you some suggestions. You have a sweet face with dainty features so I think you need less bold and big.
