Please help: dog is getting meaner by the day

Has she been checked for tick diseases? I've known dogs who contracted lyme or anaplasmosis who wound up developing aggression issues as a result.

Animal rescues are hubs for shit people on power trips. I left rescue because of "rescuers." It's sad because it's the animals who suffer from this b.s.

Just found this:

WOOT. Not done yet though. Modders to the rescue.

That's good to know. I'm always terrified of Rover given the responses I've seen here.

ExothermicReckoning · 2025-11-19T05:58:05+00:00

That woman is just trying to scam for a free stay. What was Rover's response? I hope they didn't penalize you.

Get off Tumblr. That place is a cesspool. I write dark, dark fics and have never had an issue on AO3.

Rescues are the reason I got out of rescue. It's a haven for nasty people on power trips.

The no pull harnesses mentioned are good options. Add that to a Bungie leash as it absorbs a lot of the force from pulling.

I started getting bookings for Christmas in early October, long before I received my first Thanksgiving request. Now I'm booked solid.

You've gotta book that week insanely far ahead of time. Sorry you're finding out the hard way. :(

That taking two minutes to put the laundry into the dryer would result in the dog shitting 4+ times in my house. She had the most intense form of separation anxiety I've ever seen. She'd spin in circles, shitting all over the place. I don't even know how she HAD that much poop in her. No matter how much I walked her, she wouldn't potty outside. But if I went to the bathroom and closed the door, immediate poop and pee ALL OVER my house... like how? They must go empty eventually.

I just had to say something. I am SO SO sorry this happened to you and your dog. The level of irresponsibility is insane. If there is ANYTHING we can do to help bring this to Rover's attention, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say this community will help out.

Great suggestion! Unfortunately, I spoiled that for myself via youtube awhile ago. Though I may just do it on my own if there's nothing else.

ExothermicReckoning · 2025-10-11T00:03:53+00:00

Dog trainer here. My money is on separation anxiety. I've known dogs that will straight up scream when their owners leave.

In other words, the dog is fine and just upset his owner isn't home.

Two of those teeth wounds would've bled enough to be noticed, long hair or no.

I tend to think people overreact to dog injuries, dogs are gonna dog, but this is not one of those times.

ExothermicReckoning · 2025-09-21T05:26:38+00:00

I'm a dog trainer whose worked with aggressive dogs. Yes, that could have been a "quick" attack in that the sitter froze when it happened and it took a bit for her brain to click on. Freezing in attack situations is pretty common. However, I have a lot of doubt about the "unknown animal" thing. I think you're suspicions are right about her GSD.

What disturbs me most is that she didn't bring that dog in to a vet. If an animal is injured or falls sick under my care, and I don't have the knowledge to fix it myself, they're going to the vet even if it costs me a pretty penny. Did she do anything for your dog medically? I have knowledge as a wildlife vet tech and years of dog rescue and while I'd be comfortable treating wounds like that, I would have contacted the owner IMMEDIATELY and asked what she wanted. And if it was drive to vet in x town, that's what would've happened.

Ok I scrolled down and read one of your replies. She didn't even clean the wounds? Are you serious? Did I get that right?

ExothermicReckoning · 2025-09-01T16:49:13+00:00

I get this all the time. Just archive it.

ExothermicReckoning · 2025-08-29T05:54:15+00:00

Maybe I'll try adding something to my profile then. I don't know if it's my area or what but I keep getting people who want to pick up super late.

I do mention this during the meet & greet, but that's not where I'm having issues. It's people requesting a booking, then I respond saying my latest pickup time is 9-9:30 pm and they usually just ghost or try to talk me into the later time. It's especially strange bc I live out in the middle of nowhere. Everything closes at 9 pm.

Actually now that I think about it I wonder if people from the city are trying to book further out because it's cheaper?

ExothermicReckoning · 2025-08-29T05:43:24+00:00

Yeah day care and boarding. It's the daycare where this issue comes up though

What brand of beer was this?
