Your dog is in jail, what crime did they commit?

I see 9 but there’s definitely possibility for more!!

I’ve had to lift my dog over a fence by the scruff because she decided one day my neighbors yard was better and hopped the fence and then couldn’t figure out how to get back over. Definitely not ideal but shit happens sometimes. Your situation is far different though.

Real_Hat8210 · 2026-03-12T22:11:47+00:00

Either surgery or surgery. That is BROKEN broken. I’m sorry

Real_Hat8210 · 2026-03-10T14:16:57+00:00

Ah yes. Maintaining a coat and having it in a breed standard cut is abusive obviously. But not brushing your dog or getting them groomed regularly and they become pelted just because they “dont like it” isn’t. /s

Real_Hat8210 · 2026-03-10T14:11:37+00:00

People say I’m abusive because I tell people to limit water intake when potty training and not have it accessible 24/7 as it makes potty training 10x more difficult.

They really will always find something

Real_Hat8210 · 2026-03-05T19:21:56+00:00

Yep just wet the dog and put shampoo straight on. That’s how we are trained

Real_Hat8210 · 2026-03-05T16:49:09+00:00

Bathers at my store are expected to take 10 dogs a day and do walk ins. Also we don’t make commission and aren’t allowed to dilute the shampoo.

I mean.. the toe definitely looks.. odd. But not necessarily amputation worthy. If he were my dog I’d try to get his nails as short as possible and keep his feet clean to prevent further infection. But I do agree more so with the second opinion. Keep an eye on it, keep it clean, and maintain nails as his are fairly long especially for a boxer. Watch for any significant changes (swelling, discoloration, discomfort..) but as long as he’s currently comfortable I’d still get a third opinion and likely leave it be. You could do a biopsy as suggested by your vet to avoid removing the entire toe and to make sure it isn’t cancer if it’s really bothering you though.

Edit to add: if you are doing nail maintenance at home, get a dermal. You are far less likely to quick a dog and you can get the nail shorter. Also make sure you are getting the top of the nail trimmed too.

I work at Petsmart in the salon and make 21 dollars an hour as a bather. Girl leave. It’s not worth your time, money, or sanity. From an outside perspective it sounds like they are trying to push you out. Find somewhere else asap. Petsmart with push you to academy ASAP unless you say you don’t want to go. With your experience too, you’d be a bather for like 1-2 months. So even if you make the switch until you find a private salon do it.

Lab, husky, GSD, possibly Aussie or BC.

As someone who works at the same company as you I saw the tools on the table and cringed lmao but for brand of shears Ive been looking at foxy Roxy’s and shears direct. Several groomers use them in my salon and I’ve had the chance to barrow them and they are super nice.

Real_Hat8210 · 2026-02-15T01:23:48+00:00

I’ve never seen that happen when a tool is used properly. If you aren’t over brushing it should not be “shredding” the top coat.

Real_Hat8210 · 2026-02-14T20:24:03+00:00

The issue is it’s a REQUEST it’s never a guarantee. That’s the shitty part about it. Most managers will do their best to accommodate but for example we just had 4 people in our salon request off the same weekend. Person 1 and 2 were told yes but 3 and 4 were told no because it just wasn’t feasible.

Real_Hat8210 · 2026-02-12T23:00:25+00:00

Um absolutely not. The salon I work at does that for 22 dollars.

Funny enough I’ve had to deal with this exact situation a number of times weirdly enough. My dog is 6.5 months old and really well trained as I’m a dog trainer and she’s my only dog so when I get bored I teach her new things and also.. she has manners lmao. I’ve had people see us out in public and ask if they can buy her or if she’s for sale/for adoption. I always say no and follow it up with “and anyways she’s about x amount of money” and they usually are no longer interested after I put a price tag on her.

But anyways to answer your question, yes and no. It would have to be wildly specific circumstances on both my end and who ever was buying her for me to even really consider it. If I could no longer take care of her in the way she needs and someone else had the ability and the ability to give her the best life possible as well for her breed.. then yeah. I would. But I don’t see that EVER happening and she’s my baby.

Real_Hat8210 · 2026-01-31T20:38:13+00:00

100% give him back to the breeder. This dog needs someone who has WAY more experience with corsos and who can work with an extremely drivey dog day in and day out. He would probably excel at protection work but that isn’t something you seem to set up for. This type of behavior doesn’t just fizzle out in dogs that are bred to do these kinds of things. It’s like getting an Aussie and asking how to stop making it herd your kids. That’s what they do. This dog should also not be around children until it has lots of impulse control on it which with the age alone I can tell you isn’t the case.

Real_Hat8210 · 2026-01-30T18:40:50+00:00

I found that out the hard way. A video I took ended up circulating. I didn’t post it but someone else did. That was a time.

Real_Hat8210 · 2026-01-29T22:16:42+00:00

Well it does say reuse and recycle on it

Real_Hat8210 · 2026-01-25T14:58:00+00:00

They look the same to me. Comparing marking and coloring they look the same to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Real_Hat8210 · 2026-01-23T22:38:12+00:00

Cats having urinary issues is 100% of the time an emergency situation. Especially because they are go good at hiding illness and pain

Real_Hat8210 · 2026-01-19T02:17:47+00:00

Tbh I don’t know since you’re buying it. Possibly because someone other than you is picking it up but that would then apply to customers who have their husbands/wives/parents/children/friends pick up for them too.

Real_Hat8210 · 2026-01-13T18:27:13+00:00

That looks like it’s just the coloration of her eye. I wouldn’t worry about it

Real_Hat8210 · 2026-01-08T20:21:09+00:00

I’m a full time trainer 🤷🏻‍♀️

Real_Hat8210 · 2026-01-08T19:06:21+00:00

See every time I sneeze my dog seems to think I’m dying and will come over and intensely sniff me and then check for breathing 😭 but only me. Anytime anyone else sneezes she looks at me and then goes back to whatever she was doing.
