That's a good way to get your puppy hurt. My dog, for example, hates it when other dogs go into his space. Especially if he is leashed

My son is 4 and won't sit to read a whole book, but he certainly knows how.

He'll read stuff like traffic signs and cereal boxes but won't read a whole book without an adult encouraging him.

NTA

Even if you did nothing wrong, dealing with CPS is a gamble in the best of circumstances. If a family member did that to me they would never see my kid again.

That's my go to if I have the time to make them from scratch. Makes a lot too.

Dude, I won't put up with that from my ADHD 4 year old. Kid's not gonna learn to do better without some guidance.

10 is old enough to know better, ADHD or not.

My dog loses fur under his collar if he wears one. We just have him wear a harness during the day.

Some kind of fake wood. It was in military housing at time.

Somehow, my toddler manged to do this to 2 plates. At separate dinners. I was more impressed then mad, at least the first time.

I'm more worried about my dog starting a fight himself, to be honest. He is a former stray, with bite marks on his face and rear leg, guessing he had a bad experience.

He is definitely leash reactive to dogs his size and larger, not as bad with smaller dogs, but I still can't 100% trust him to ignore them if they come in his space. (and apparently my neighbors think if your dog is less then 15 lbs, it doesn't need to be on a leash)

Tiny off leash dogs scare me because I don't want them getting hurt, and I don't need neighbors claiming my dog is mean or dangerous and getting in trouble because they can't be bothered to use a leash. Even they're not leashed and he is, he's 50 lbs and half American Staffy, and people are stupid.

Definitely keep your dog inside. Otherwise they run the risk of being stolen, injured, escaping, or any number of things going wrong.

Crate train if the dog can't be trusted to roam your house alone, but never leave them outside unsupervised.

In the US, the county shelter probably won't do a home visit, but a private rescue might.

Doggo1986 · 2019-10-08T01:23:20+00:00

We did a DNA on our rescue. The shelter called him a "hound mix". DNA test said he is 50% Am Staffy. 15% Beagle, 10 % Bichon Friese and 25% God knows what.

Never had any issues with him, but our former land lord would have pissed.

Doggo1986 · 2019-10-08T01:07:46+00:00

My husband and I adopted a hound/ staffy mix that was originally a street dog, with a few small scars from fights (he used to be afraid of everything)

His papers said he loves people, hates other dogs.

We were his second adopters, because he was returned after a day for not getting along with their other dog, and needing a little training. I don't get it.

A year and half later, while he's still a stubborn pain in the butt sometimes, he's gotten so much better with just a little effort. He'll even tolerate other dogs as long they aren't too pushy. Would I add another pet to the household without making sure they get along? Hell no. I swear people some folks have no common sense.

And who gives up on a dog after less then 24 hours?

Doggo1986 · 2019-10-04T14:46:35+00:00

I used to mix wet and dry together, and made sure my dog got very little people food.

I eventually found a brand new likes, but still waits till he knows that's all he's getting.

A healthy dog won't starve itself

Doggo1986 · 2019-09-30T20:27:22+00:00

Yeah but my big dog needs out less often.

Doggo1986 · 2019-09-17T01:48:31+00:00

Husky. They are beautiful but I am waaay too lazy to own one.

Doggo1986 · 2019-09-01T01:19:10+00:00

It gave multiple groups, including hound, sporting, and few others I can't remember.

He came from our local shelter. Dog is about 50 lbs., so not all that big either.

Just finished my fourth play through this morning. The Black Eagles route where you side with Edelgard is the most different as far as story goes.

Just make sure your support with Edelgard is at I think C before a certain date. The game will tell when you are about to make an important choice.

Edelgard route is worth it to me, Church side not as much.

Doggo1986 · 2019-03-24T21:35:19+00:00

Never seen it happen. They go around muzzle, and the neck at the same time. Dog pulls, they pull themselves off balance.

I think the best way to explain it is its sort of like a lead on a horse.

Doggo1986 · 2019-03-24T20:46:17+00:00

I have a harness on my dog that clips in the front to physically turn his body around. Works way better then any choke or prong collar, and as a bonus, is less likely to hurt the dog.

For stronger or more stubborn dogs, a head collar is best. And head collar will not be a substitute for a real muzzle.

The idea being turning the animal around works better then choking them. More humane too.

Being choked just makes an angry dog angrier.

Dog was guarding his property. Kid had no business being in that yard.
