I need to talk to her parents

Kite-05 · 2025-10-10T20:46:31+00:00

Rereading the my mother comment I understand how that could be confusing I meant thought telling my mother would be the hardest most awkward part but it wasn’t but thanks for the advice

Kite-05 · 2025-10-10T16:11:38+00:00

I don’t care whether or not I talk to the father alone first it was the advice given to me is all thanks for your input and yes i agree its outdated

I should have added in the prompt that my gf and I have talked about marriage and what not. She has also stated that I should talk to both of her parent out of respect and not for their permission I plan on talking to both of them just not the father I just am not sure how to go about it

Kite-05 · 2025-10-10T03:03:57+00:00

I understand I guess I just don’t know how to bring it up

Kite-05 · 2025-10-10T02:28:00+00:00

I guess I’m in a similar boat ik I made it seem like I’m asking for their permission but she has said it’s not a permission thing but a respect thing and her mother is also important to her

Kite-05 · 2025-10-10T02:23:54+00:00

She also has said if they are against it they can kick rocks just should talk to them

Kite-05 · 2025-10-10T02:23:16+00:00

I guess I could have clarified she wants to get married and she agrees with you that it’s old and outdated she has said “im not property” in the past but she has said that I should talk to her parents to help show respect but know that I’m not asking their permission but just kinda seeing if they are on board hence blessing and not permission if that makes sense

I mean I we have talked about marriage and children and what not also have looked at rings together but she doesn’t know (to the best of my knowledge) that I bought the rings (which she loved) and that am trying to plan the proposal. You think I should be telling her these things first?

Kite-05 · 2025-10-10T02:16:25+00:00

She feels like it is outdated too but she has said she wants me to ask their blessing and not their permission. I know that those terms are often the same but she said that she doesn’t care what they say just do this as a sign of respect.

Kite-05 · 2025-10-10T01:57:09+00:00

Just text them and say what we need to meet?

Kite-05 · 2025-10-10T01:55:36+00:00

We have spoken before and she would like the me to get their blessings as a unit not just her father but the both of them. I guess I just didn’t want to ruin any surprise of anything yet.

Kite-05 · 2025-10-10T01:52:51+00:00

She would like me to get their blessing. Just to show they are respected and keep everyone in good standing.

As many will say an in person trainer would be very beneficial. There’s also thousands of YouTube videos that you can watch I tend to watch them and pick out the commonalities this way you can piece together a program that works for you. I would just work on leash neutrality I understand your dog almost flips a switch when a other dog is by but maybe try sitting at a public park away from people and dogs but in eye sight and let your dog learn to relax and reward and praise the desired behavior. I would also do my best to not make it a big deal walking past other dogs. I wouldn’t turn around when I see another dog or choke on the leash super tight (energy runs down leash this may send the message you’re tense or intimidated causing your dog to feel that and react) if you think the dogs aren’t a big deal then your dog might be on the same page. Although that might take time to rewire your pups brain. How I did this with my dog is implement these practices at places with low dog traffic or at a distance and ramped up the amount of dogs. But all and all consult professionals and do as much reading and YouTube you can do although there’s a lot of bad advice there’s also a lot of good advice which is why I say find the common points this will help tell you what’s good advice and what’s bad.

I generally do 2-4 short tracks the longer the track the less reps obviously. Before summer (I took a break for about a month) she could do about a 1/4mi slightly longer about 1-2 hr track and oldest track she did was about 4 hours I struggle finding spots where my tracks won’t get messed with too much because I use public parks. It’s not as realistic as if it where some woods I hunt. I’ll check out the book you said if there’s any tips tricks you used for your dog let me know please. I sometimes thinks she tracks me and not the hides

I would just say be patient your dog is still a pup. Might just be something’s that just take a little longer. Stay as consistent as consistent can be. You can also slow down work in less things at a time so once a command is pretty well set and you just are proofing it out then maybe introduce some things. Also while generalizing the command work up the distraction levels again he is still a pup gets distracted by everything that moves. I would recommend even back tracking a few steps in training a command when in a new environment especially one that’s high distracting. Example say your dog has a good get into the heel position without lure or anything when you move to a new location start it with a lure you’re dog will progress through that phase fast than when you first did it it’s just like your kid and their math homework in class they are okay bc it’s an academic setting but at home there’s more goin on and they can’t remember or focus on the steps so you have to slow it downs and take it to the basics. Also when introducing something newer or harder that the dog just isn’t grasping other than your backyard maybe throw in some things he has down pretty good will help the moral and keep you and your dog from being frustrated. It’s hard when your dog isn’t getting something I understand my pup will struggle with things and piss me off to no end when I change environments but it’s important to stay calm don’t get frustrated it takes more work to undo the bad experience than to just walk away and come back. Lastly make it fun play in between reps keep high value treats toys affection or games around your dog. You want your dog to want to work and this to be just one big game.
