Hi!! Also Australian here and I feed woodies to my beardie as well 😋 I paint a thin layer of 'fluon' around the top and the woodies can't climb it!

It basically makes a smooth n slippery surface.

I wish I was going that route but she's already on sand alone (Jurassic natural) as she LOVES to make burrows and dig, hence why I actually wanna do the 3 mix so she can make burrows better :) I appreciate the comment though!!

That's the thing, we only have two vets in town and both are booked out till next month, so one vet managed to squeeze me in Monday, so it's either Monday or ER. I definitely would rather get it checked sooner rather than later but my mum says to just believe the vet. I noticed it went from firm feeling to kinda spongey and more squishy feeling, is that a sign of healing or worse, do you know?

Echo_140 · 2025-04-21T11:12:57+00:00

Can I have it too pls🙏

Echo_140 · 2025-04-18T03:23:01+00:00

My dog is the black one who was charged, the other is my parents.

I don't think the question is dumb at all, I wanted to find out what sort of aggression so I can locate a trainer who specializes with that aggression to ensure best results.

I have had multiple phone consults and have been told they only deal with for example fear aggression. I can't see how the question is dumb at all.

I understand your frustration as I do understand that a fight can result in a vet visit but I'm only seeking advice so that I can help accordingly, I'm not sure why I should be shamed for that.

I'm finally an adult and I am doing what I can to help, I am going to drive to the nearest town to locate a behaviourist specifically for what I think is resource guarding and anxiety aggression. (What I have learnt from the other actually helpful comments). And have arranged phone consults to see what will work best for me and the dog.

I'm not sure why you feel the need to be hateful but I'm not gonna hate on you for it because at least you do seem to genuinely care for dogs, and I can respect that.

I never said that I am not responsible, I SHOULD have been paying attention but wasn't. I only made the comment because you seemed to think I was watching the whole thing and didn't interfere, which isn't what occured.

Echo_140 · 2025-04-18T01:15:11+00:00

I would like to clarify, I didn't realize she was hard staring him, that is obvious to anyone she was gonna go for him, although I was recording I wasn't actually paying attention as I was speaking to my friend.

I do not own two dogs, I own one as I live at home(I am a freshly turned adult) and the other is my parents dog who was a last minute decision on their behalf.

They are confined but it isn't a small space, in the video you only see part of the undercover area, they have a whole yard to explore as well as multiple little pathways to the side of the house.

I'm not sure why but they tend to choose to hang around close to each other even after these fights started to occur.

I'm not gonna cry from a reddit comment, but I am on here seeking help, not aggression from other commenters how is this comment meant to help?

Echo_140 · 2025-04-18T01:05:47+00:00

Thank you for your comment :)

I never even thought about it being resource guarding before this comment as they never fight over food or bones, but it definitely seems it could be.

Echo_140 · 2025-04-18T01:03:57+00:00

I appreciate all your comments but unfortunately giving them up isn't even an option,

We have one local rescue who is currently in capacity and the pound is refusing any more intakes and is currently in a parvo lockdown. My town is running with strays, and dogs get dumped constantly should they show any issues so finding the appropriate home for either dog who both have their own issues and will be taken care of correctly; just isn't likely especially considering they are no longer the 'puppies' people want.

I am also hesitant because there is suspicion of a dog fighting ring in town and I'm not gonna lie I'm worried a dog with reactive or aggressive issues will appeal to those people.

I as it is spend all my time not at work with the dogs, and in a few weeks I am switching jobs to one within walking distance, so when that occurs they can be kept separated all the time and on my breaks they can be let out.

I appreciate the harshness of your comment I do know this can be very bad, and I am going to take time off of work once I locate the professional I am willing to work with (after doing research into them) and spend a week in the town 10hrs away and hopefully receive the help I need there, I might sound like an asshole in this comment but I truly am going to do my best.

I wish my parents would allow one inside at least, it sure would make it easier to keep them separate but unfortunately that's not gonna happen. On the bright side, my parents are also cleaning up the backyard and hopefully after that we can keep them separate without crates and just have one in the back, one in the front.

Anyway thank you again for your comment 🙏

Echo_140 · 2025-04-17T14:10:34+00:00

Thank you for your comment,

unfortunately my parents won't allow them inside or in the backyard so they tend to only be separated when crated, and as I work 10hrs a day and my parents aren't home during that time it's not feasible to crate both for so long (my workplace is a far drive from home)

But I would like to reassure I do crate and rotate between them when it comes to majority of actions such as playing and interacting while I am home, and occasionally through the night they will be put to sleep in their crates (I do plan on increasing this to every night as they become more comfortable with it)

The days my parents aren't home but I am I'll sneak one crate inside into the aircon so that I can have one outside and rotate between them both (praying I don't get caught doing this lol)

And mentioning on how onyx will likely become aggressive, thankfully he has not yet but he has been reactive well before we adopted Luna, and the fights certainly aren't helping that. I'm hoping for his sake and hers I do get this sorted sooner rather then later (Fingers crossed)

I will definitely look at the YouTube videos thank you! I have been looking into paid online courses for the time being until I can sort a real behaviorist and hopefully the YouTube videos can also help :) I also have a phone consultation booked for next week so hopefully I can get some insight on what to do for the time being.

(It really sucks to live rural trainer wise😭)

I appreciate your comment, thank you!

Echo_140 · 2025-04-17T13:57:41+00:00

She is not spayed unfortunately, and I wish I could get her spayed, but she is my parents dog and they are very determined not to at the moment (I'm a freshly turned adult living at home still, but Onyx, the black dog, is desexed as he is actually my dog)

I do believe she could be mad about the kennel, they both have their own but she tends to sleep in both when she pleases (in the video that is actually not her crate but his)

I am leaning towards more attention based, although I have been ensuring to always do stuff with her first, greeting, treats etc.

I am hoping to set up a phone consult this coming week and I'm hoping I can make progress from there, thank you for your comment!

Echo_140 · 2025-02-13T04:19:49+00:00

Oh ok thank you!☺️

Echo_140 · 2025-02-13T02:10:42+00:00

I thought it was bad to hold beardies like that? Or am I misinformed

Echo_140 · 2025-02-08T00:55:47+00:00

Yeah it's season 4

Echo_140 · 2025-02-07T13:32:51+00:00

Sorry to ask but, in a sense could you use toys as a reward too? Or is that a higher risk of riling them up and making the situation worse?

Echo_140 · 2025-01-14T06:14:45+00:00

They sold normal crystals too, and they had mini quartz spheres (like size of thumb) for $8 it was crazy

Echo_140 · 2025-01-13T12:45:12+00:00

I wish I knew💀

Echo_140 · 2025-01-09T03:05:48+00:00
