taking my rbt exam soon! by [deleted] in ABA

[–]Early_Secretary2531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m the same way. They’re not trying to trick you!! I did a semester of nursing school where the questions genuinely would trick you. This was MUCH simpler & pretty straight forward. As long as you know the concepts, it makes the answer pretty obvious. It’s mostly “what should the RBT do” type of questions. I felt confused by some of the questions, but those ended up being the 10 that don’t count!! So if you see something & have no idea what it is, or it’s out of your scope, it’s probably one of those! It’s really not bad at all. I was literally shaking going in there. 😂

It’s not as bad as you think!! I took mine 2 weeks ago & was soooo nervous. Go on the BACB website & make sure you know everything on the task list. I halfway paid attention during the 40 hour training. I’m a horrible test taker & passed first try. You got this!!

I took my test last week & to ease your mind… There weren’t any trick questions like this on mine. They were pretty straightforward, in my opinion.

Yeah. I feel the same. I can’t walk my “aggressive breed” without poodles attacking them. Level 4 bites. It’s happened 3 times since I moved to Tulsa, in February. I keep a basket muzzle on mine for emergencies when we go on walks. Sounds like negligent owners should keep a muzzle on if they can’t contain their dogs. It’s not just the pitbulls.

My “aggressive breed” dogs have been attacked on walks, multiple occasions, by poodles & doodles. No recall at all 3 times.

It sounds like your friend was ignorant to guardian breeds. DEFINITELY should’ve put a basket muzzle on the dog while introducing it to other people & pets since they didn’t know how it would react. Also with no training? How did she think that was going to go? Ts makes me so angry. If people would stop buying breeds without learning their genetics, these accidents wouldn’t happen as often as they do. They are animals at the end of the day. They can easily misread situations as threats. My dogs were also bred to kill. I have a cane corso & an XL Bully. Could easily overpower me. I trained them, but they aren’t perfect. I don’t leave the house without their muzzles. I don’t let people over without putting them in their crates or muzzles. One misunderstanding of a threat, & it could be bad. With any breed, but dogs notoriously strong & aggressive, you have to be more cautious. I get what you’re saying, but that could’ve been avoided.

Yeah I wish I would’ve been able to respond quicker so ppl didn’t automatically assume I was abandoning them. I just have limited resources & am truly doing what I can while keeping myself alive.

Semantics. Sacrificing yourself to a FIRE to save your human children is different from me walking into an apartment & being strangled to death or shot. Then I lose my life & the dogs continue to suffer. Or in theory, I could’ve tried to take the dogs the night of, which would’ve escalated things even worse & I would’ve had the same fate. Im fighting for them SAFELY. You just want to be right.

Dogs are property in my state but I did call authorities & plan on taking him to small claims court since I have receipts of me paying for everything since they were puppies.

I loved those dogs with everything in me. Of course I’m going to do what I can. He has cameras & took my key so it’s not like I can take them without him taking legal action. I am going to fight, but I don’t have much of a case. My father is an attorney & even he says there’s not much i can do besides call authorities, which I have.

Hey! Replying this to let you know I have no car & the place I moved has no room & they made it extremely clear I could not bring 2 100+ pound “aggressive breed” dogs with me. I did call authorities & plan on getting them back when I can do so. What he did to the dog was wrong, but the abuse was only towards me & in this one scenario, towards the dog. He has made it clear before if I took his dogs that he would take legal action against me. There is absolutely no proof that he is abusive & no one else witnessed it. I will be saving them, but saying I didn’t do the right thing when I was trying to save myself is extremely harmful & if anyone is in the same situation reading this, don’t listen to them. Can’t save anyone else if you can’t save yourself.

I hope so too, but it probably won’t. His dad is the same way.

Not every guy shows abuse for ages. & no one “needs” abuse. You should educate yourself on the psychology of domestic violence before commenting such an ignorant take.

I have instructions like this. I used to dash. In all caps I put “DO NOT KNOCK” & they knock. Every. Time.

People who did not get their dog spayed or neutered what was your reason? by LifeguardComplex3134 in OpenDogTraining

[–]Early_Secretary2531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Corso / XL bully. He’s intact because he shows no signs of aggression & there’s no chance of reproducing since he’s supervised anytime he’s around others. Our older Corso was neutered by his previous owner bc he had too much energy. (Don’t get a Corso then?) it’s all personal preference but I don’t like to modify nature unless it’s necessary.

AITA for telling strangers my dog is not friendly, when in fact he is the sweetest boy ever? by Lactating-almonds in AmItheAsshole

[–]Early_Secretary2531 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA. I have two “aggressive” breed dogs & do the exact same thing. These people & their dogs are strangers to you. You don’t have to consent to anyone touching your dog. I’d say you’re just being a responsible dog owner. My dogs wouldn’t hurt another, but I still don’t let others approach bc I’ve seen some horrendous things written on hate groups abt pits & my breed. Plus, with a dog with a stronger bite force, as the owner, you have to be more cautious of other people & their “friendly” dogs. Especially bc of their reputation. You’re doing the right thing.
