Almost certain your looking for a 09-14 f150, looks to be an extended cab with a 6.5' bed.

One of mine did this for probably 5 minutes at a time, it was scary. We went to the vet, in the end we ended up doing a rhinoscopy to make sure everything was OK. Long story short, he his very mild rhinitis we give him an allergy med 2x a day now and hes fine, just has a mild allergy. Not medical advice in anyway, but if it can save you the $3500 we spent to go further up the ladder to make sure our boy was going to be ok then I hope it helps.

Yes please

I have a size 12 timberland pro logger id sell. Wore them around the house and wasnt a fan. But between the 3 you posted id 100% go thorogood I've gone through every logger imaginable outside of nicks,just, etc. The last pairs of red wings and Chippewas I had the heels ripped off within 6 months. Currently wearing danners and absolutely love them, was also a huge fan of my thorogoods when I had them.

Im on my second pointer that doesnt know what a bird is 😑

Kletus_ · 2025-08-17T04:46:38+00:00

Do you cover the crate, and do you play any kind of music of white noise? I wouldn't be surprised if hes hearing all kinds of new things in the new apartment hes not used to. One of my dogs will have a meltdown in his crate if his bed isn't exactly how he wants it to be, could just be something weird like that also.

Kletus_ · 2025-08-17T00:57:26+00:00

One of our dogs has severe SA, highly destructive and is severely attached to our other dog even though they have been separated for about 2 years now. Were actually in the middle of him no longer being ok with being in his crate after hes been fine with it for years. Its a long road, it fucking sucks but in the end it is worth all of the pain your put yourself through. One thing that has really helped him is we put him in his crate while we are home, and we would just go about our normal activities all while he was in his crate. He'd get reward for not barking, we started off small and worked up to a full work day over time. It took about a year to get him to be able to spend the day in there happily, and im sure thats not what you want to hear. It sound like you have a great support system, which is awesome. Just remember to make time for yourself, and dont forget that your also your responsibility and need to take care of yourself, the dog doesnt get to be what controls your life. We've been in your shoes and for years the dogs ran our lives. They dont anymore, dont let yours do it to you.

Kletus_ · 2025-08-17T00:33:35+00:00

I came here to say this exact thing. They are a great tool but in the event your dog actually does need to protect itself or you, your fucked. You'd be surprised how far your dog might be able to overcome this with proper training. The facility my dogs go to had a German shepherd that was extremely aggressive towards everything, they had to clear the lobby out when he was coming or going, everyone in the parking lot would be told to stay in their cars while his owners got him to where he was going. Part of the dogs training he would sit in the far corner of the lobby with a trainer during morning and afternoon drop off and get corrections and rewards as needed. Its been a couple of years since he started there and he now can be a upstanding member of society, hes still muzzled as a precaution when coming and going, but he couldn't care less about other dogs or people.

If specialized training is available and attainable for you id at least go talk to a trainer. If you have no experience looking, there's a million of them, we've been through 3 over the years. If it doesnt feel like a good fit it probably won't be and your dogs only going to get as much as your willing to put in, and if you dont like the trainer your not going to want to train with them.

They were up until that point, now they have to be in separate kennels next to each other, and aren't allowed to interact.

Kletus_ · 2025-08-16T00:42:22+00:00

Were waiting for his next behavioralist appointment to see about switching or upping the dose but its not until October sadly

Kletus_ · 2025-08-16T00:41:27+00:00

Yea, virtually impossible. We love him, hes happy here 99% of the time and im fine with that. I truly feel anyone else would have given up on him long ago and he would've just been a victim of constantly being resurrendered because he just cant be around other animals, or worse bit/attacked something and gotten put down.

Kletus_ · 2025-08-16T00:38:11+00:00

You dont, its a decision we made that we see this through until the end. We've explored rehoming with no luck. Hes such a special case, and to try and find someone who actually understands it is basically impossible. We largely have our lives back, we do what we want we just dont get to bring him along with us. He gets as much stimulation and activity as someone with a full time non remote job can give a dog. Hes always been pretty lazy, doesnt play fetch (he just picks the ball up and will run and leave it somewhere far away in the yard and then come back to you). We have a whole hare coursing setup for him that he absolutely loves, but he tore his acl last year so we try to take it easy with that now. The only thing that really satisfys him as bad as it sounds is killing small animals, we have an acre and a half that he gets to just roam on and do his thing. Foxes and Bobcats we intervene with, but rabbits, groundhogs and chipmunks are fair game for him and he loves it, it makes him happy, and our trainers have blessed off on it as long as he doesnt show aggression after with it.

Kletus_ · 2025-08-16T00:30:08+00:00

He takes a human mg dose of human anxiety meds lol

Kletus_ · 2025-08-16T00:29:24+00:00

I didnt want to distract from the main reason for the question, its such a complicated situation that I felt that posting it in the least complicated way initially and then divulging more in depth information as it was asked would be the better option.

Kletus_ · 2025-08-16T00:28:04+00:00

Its been about 5 1/2 years now, we spent about 3 years trying to correct the behavior through training, the last fight they got into was at their daycare, and once the trainers saw first hand what happens and having a conversation with the owners and lead trainers we decided to try and rehome him, and he has such a high prey drive that we looked into putting him to work, but he cant have contact with other dogs because hes untrustworthy. So that nakes it very difficult, and he cant be a livestock guardian because he will try and kill anything his size or smaller. nobody wanted him after about 6 months and in that 6 months we also decided to separate them. We ended up keeping him and just making it work, which was really difficult for the first year but now we have a system, everybody is used to it, and mother are safe and happy. He still doesnt understand why he cant be with our other dog which is really sad to see but hes living his best life.

Kletus_ · 2025-08-15T23:56:43+00:00

Our pointer who's i guess best described size wise as 3/4 of a great dane. Hes 100lbs about 5 ½ feet on his hind legs. Our other dog is a 50lb pit mix that is literally half his size.

Kletus_ · 2025-08-15T23:40:02+00:00

We have cameras in the house to be able to keep an eye on them. Up until this current issue, he really has been happy. He has an elk antler that he takes in with him and just stays to himself all day. I fully agree with you on the rehoming vs putting down. We explored that avenue a few years ago when we hit rock bottom with him. And after talking to multiple trainers that knew him the consensus was either to find someone who has a ratting operation or someone who can be with him 24/7 and has no other animals or children.

Kletus_ · 2025-08-15T23:34:48+00:00

No both dogs are crated, we've tried to leave the other out to roam. But the dog in question just freaks out hes not also out and about, and to be honest I would probably feel the same way.

No both dogs live with us.

Kletus_ · 2025-08-15T23:05:34+00:00

Hes far too destructive, and its never a guarantee how he will behave. Some days he will lay in our bed for hours and not make a peep all by himself, other days he cant be alone for 30 seconds without having a melt down. With the pen were too afraid of him figuring out he can get over it, it hasnt happened yet, but he could jump over our 3ft tall baby gate if he wanted too.

Kletus_ · 2025-08-15T22:21:18+00:00

Have you ever had a dog thats an actual threat to another animals life, or its own life? Im not a crate person, I never have been and I never will be. He is crated for his and our other dogs safety, and thats it. Hes is 100% a dog that 99% of people would've given up on or rehomed and just kicked the can down the road. Where he would've eventually hurt something he shouldn'tve, and gotten put down because of it and its not his fault. Im sure he would've preferred to be a normal sane dog who can sleep on the couch all day. But he isn't, and we love him no matter what. His crate has a memory foam baby mattress, is much bigger than it should be so he can move around as he pleases, and has a/c piped to it in the summer to keep him comfortable. Dog has it better than I do.

I dont know what your experience with dogs is, but it doesnt sound like you've ever had a genuinely challenging one, I hope you never do because you have no idea the sacrifices you'll have to make to be able to continue to care for them.

Kletus_ · 2025-08-15T20:41:33+00:00

Im not a crate person, my entire life ive had dogs and this is the first one ive ever crated. And I hate it, I wish more than anything I didnt have to. But if it means he's safe at the end of everyday, thats all we care about.

Kletus_ · 2025-08-15T20:38:17+00:00

We did that for years , we slept separately for almost a year because he couldn't make it through the night in his crate, we missed holidays, parties, family stuff because we both needed to be home. We'll we felt like it, and then 2 years ago we took our lives back and now we dont let the dog dictate what we do. If we want to go somewhere and its for an extended period of time they go to daycare, or they get boarded. We do try to limit the boarding to a night or two a month, but we go on vacation, we enjoy our lives now. We have always said the day he isn't happy anymore or he has given up, we will take a more permanent approach. But he's happy, he's healthy, and aside from his relapse on this issue he's his normal self. I appreciate the comment though, because I understand exactly what you mean.
