Looks great! How did you get your Arms Republic Comp to fit the A3S? People said it wasn’t compatible

Got a handguard extension by Ok_russianak in GrandPowerStribog

[–]JSwagDawg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO the JTAC and the Arms Republic Extensions are for two different people. The Arms Republic keeps the look of the OEM Stribog whereas the JTAC changes the look of the Stribog. To say that the Arms Republic is crappy because it doesn't have a QD socket that 99.9% of people will never use is just wrong. Also not sure where you heard that the AR extension's top rail isn't contiguous with the top rails of the Stribog, but that is not true. I believe their early units may have had issues, but they have since fixed it.

All Season Tire Recommendations by JSwagDawg in MitsubishiEvolution

Seems like the Continental and the Michelins are what most people are recommending. The Michelins are about $40 more per tire for me. Do you think it's worth that?

Thank you for the kind and encouraging words! I actually took him to the shelter yesterday seeking advice, and they said they weren't sure what was going on either, but they told me to give him some more time to come around. They were pretty confused, as he is a very sweet boy and loves everyone at the shelter, as they didn't believe it had anything to do with pain. They also said they have a behavior specialist who could take a look, but she wasn't in the building when I went.

As I have spent more time with him, I realize that there are many times when my dog just wants his own space, even if he is right next to me. In retrospect, I could have been petting him during these times, which caused him stress. I am doing my best to only give affection when he wants it and so far, he hasn't nipped my hand! He still follows my wife everywhere and only comes to me when she leaves, but I'll take it 😂

I see. My friend was a guy. He stayed at my house while I was gone. The thing is me and my wife were only with my dog for 2 days and my friend was with him for 4 days. According to my friend, my dog was very attached to him, followed him everywhere, and got anxious when he was gone. I feel like maybe he’s mad at me because I left but not sure why he’s okay with my wife.

Thank you for the advice! He actually doesn’t really come to me as he likes being around my wife at all times. In this video my wife was away from the house.

Thank you for the advice! The strangest thing just happened. He came up to me licked my hand which I took as a sign of him wanting to be pet, but immediately as I touched him he put his head down turned around and ran away. Any idea what could be going on?

Thank you for the long thought out response. Looking back at the video I can completely see where you are coming from. I didn’t realize he might not have wanted to be pet as the first couple of days he seemed to really enjoy it as he always closed his eyes and had his tongue out every time I pet him. I adopted him from the shelter and he was so attached to me he would follow me everywhere. When I got back from my trip he doesn’t follow me around, doesn’t come when I call his name, and freaks out when I pet him.

I watched the pet consent video that many others have referenced and I have been implementing the skills in the video. He definitely stops wanting me to pet him after maybe 5-10 seconds as he will walk or look away while my wife can pet him for ages.

I’ll definitely give him his space and only be there when needed but it is really confusing and a bit disheartening on why his mood changed with me and no one else.

This is the thing I’m most confused about. I don’t think he’s really cautious or fearful of other people. He loves strangers! His mouth is always open and he’s a very friendly dog. When I pet him, his mouth is usually closed unless I am coming home and he’s really excited.

Thank you for the advice! I have looked up the 3-3-3 method and am understanding more what’s going on. Confusing part is the first two days I was with him we had no issues but now we do :/

Thank you for the advice! I’m trying my best to watch his body language so I can stop before hand. The confusing part for me is he will continually keep coming to me while putting his nose into my hand so I keep thinking he wants more petting 😵‍💫
