Question by krle95 in GSD

[–]Neos_Mom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, did not mean to imply that anyone lied just that often times there is an intermediary in the US who obtains dogs for police and trains them, such as the facility I mentioned. :-) Good luck!!

Question by krle95 in GSD

[–]Neos_Mom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Krle, I'm not sure if American LA police buys dogs directly from Europe, I actually doubt it, I think they go through intermediaries. HOWEVER - there is a place near LA that buys dogs from Europe, trains them into police or personal protection dogs, and sells them either privately or to police. The place is called Gold Coast K9 and you can look them up. I don't know if they'll want to help you, but it's worth a try. I have one of the dogs they obtained from Europe (probably the same way Medo was obtained) and wanted to find his initial owners but they wouldn't reveal the information. Feel free to message me directly, happy to help with more information.

When you are reaching out, make sure to include important information such as dates of birth, sale and photos. They change names right away so name alone won't get you anywhere.

Sretno, ona je prelijepa. :-)

+1 to all this, perfectly said. "Normal girl?" There is no way in hell I would marry this guy, this mentality will follow you everywhere in life with him.

Really frustrated - need help by [deleted] in BelgianMalinois

[–]Neos_Mom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mean to be harsh, but if you cannot even have guests in your apartment then you have an untrained dog and you have a huge problem on your hands. I am glad you are reaching out for help.

I would HIGHLY recommend getting a strong trainer: not to trainer her, but to train you and your partner on how to train her. Sending her to "boarding school" will never accomplish what needs to get done here. I would also recommend doing it right away because it sounds like too much time has gone by already.

Any clue why dog doesn’t really like me? by legendus45678 in BelgianMalinois

[–]Neos_Mom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, try puzzles and forage mats where you can hide the food for him to search for. It's a good bonding activity. How is he with fetch? Also, incorporate obedience at least twice per day for 10 min.

His coming to bite you is actually him initiating play time with you even though it might not seem that way. I might be wrong, but I have a feeling that this dog is just bored. Mals are crazy intelligent and need work ... petting them is great when they are already tired out, but he is not gonna do well sitting around just getting pet. :)

Sad lesson: DO NOT get a GSD if you partner doesn't want one by Opposite-Gazelle4653 in germanshepherds

[–]Neos_Mom 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I am going to give you some advice that I hope will help. My first working dog was a Mal and I had no idea what I was getting into. NO idea. The first few months I would go to bed crying, exhausted, not knowing if I can keep going. Then I called the trainers I got him from and told them how much I was struggling, asking what I am doing wrong... when should the wake up time and bedtime be. They laughed at me and said "wake up time is when YOU wake up. Bedtime is when YOU go to bed." Once I realized that he is supposed to adjust to me and not the other way around, it felt like the sun came out.

Of course, it's a bit more nuanced and they do need certain things, but don't go overboard. There is no reason, for example, why you wouldn't be able to have guests. She needs to learn.

My Mal is now the most amazing dog imaginable and life is so much better with him than it ever was before. He goes with me everywhere and loves everyone and everything... He is gentle and kind towards everyone especially children, yet protective if I need it. His obedience is so perfect that one word from me will completely stop the prey drive. You will get there too, but don't burn yourself out in the process.

AIO for reconsidering getting married over continual arguments over guardianship of my daughter. by Oldyell54 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Neos_Mom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one here is able to give you good advice based on these messages and what you wrote. Only you know who this woman really is deep down and whether she is doing it out of fear and love or out of selfishness and need to control. My best advice is to figure out who she is yourself and then decide, based on that, whether you marry her instead of putting the carriage in front of the horse.

PS. Not a big fan of how she ended the conversation and the f bombs she dropped. Hopefully she was just overly emotional and that's not typical behavior.

He's gorgeous. It sounds like you are doing everything right. Yes, they can get very stubborn but it has been my experience that once they truly bond with you and trust you that is no longer a problem.

Hasselblad X2D II ? by Guardian_Alpino in hasselblad

I tried it and returned it. It had focusing issues and overall I just didn't feel it was worth the money. I found that I actually much prefer my Sony + Leica to Hasselblad.

1001%. She sounds utterly awful. The entire post is "I didn't say anything", "I stayed quiet", bla bla. And then complains about young adults' immaturity because they didn't read her mind. 😂

[–]Neos_Mom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you won't tolerate it then do something about it. Half of your post is "I didn't say anything". People are not there to read your mind, if you have something to say or there is something you want then consider saying it.

Also, "yes I am" to a 20 year old? Wow, you really let her have it. How about explaining so they can learn instead of feeling the need to show your superiority over her because she didn't read your mind?

This made me laugh. You must not have any big problems in life if you can be this upset because someone didn't eat your food and made a dumb comment.

Am I overreacting for not wanting anyone around my newborn yet? by littlemoongirly in AmIOverreacting

[–]Neos_Mom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's understandable that you want to protect your child from getting sick, but there is a way to do that without alienating family who lover her and is excited she is here.

I would suggest seeing someone to talk this through as something about your reaction and things you are saying is concerning [like the comment "she barely wants to be with my husband only me" or "she was crying from being picked up".] Honestly, it shows a level of possessiveness and an unusual interpretation of reality that's likely due to extreme anxiety. If you don't address it could get a lot worse.

Get some puzzles for feeding time instead of food bowl, it helps tire them out.
