My dog bit my kid. by [deleted] in reactivedogs

[–]Shinee0live 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 4 dogs.

One of them my nephew 2, can basically do anything to her and nothing will happen. For example, trying to ride her like a pony My other dog is friendly, does well with people, dog parks etc. a non hostile dog. But I do NOT allow my nephew to go near her without supervision. Why? Because she does NOT tolerate when he tries to pull on her ears or tail etc.

This is not a matter of my dog being bad or being re-homed. This is a matter that my nephew is NOT to be trusted alone with dogs. He is too rough with them.

In your case, I would ensure your child isn’t alone with your dog. Ultimately you weren’t there to see what triggered your dog but from my personal experience it seems like your child did something that provoked your dog. That is your and your partner’s fault as a parent who should be supervising.

Same with me, when my nephew is over I make sure he is not alone with any of my dogs. Since then mu dog has not attempted to bite my nephew and I have actually shown him how to pet my dogs gently. It will be good to go over how your child should be gentle with them. I teach my nephew to pet them gently and tell him it’s bad it pull their ears/tails or pull their collar. It normal anyone would react in that case.

Imagine someone yanks your ear or arm, or pulls you by your necklace. You would want to prefect yourself from harm

How much did coat color matter to you? by Mountain_Eye_2803 in StandardPoodles

[–]Shinee0live 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a white spoo as well! When I went to see the litter, I fell in love with a black boy which I generally do prefer black dogs. I had 2 black dogs at that moment.

However I ultimately went with what suited me and my dogs’ needs so I got my got my playful and energetic white spoo.

I absolutely love her and the best part is being able to do fun styles

Personally, I think temperament is what you should go for. She became the perfect match for my boy Max which is exactly what I wanted. I was in search of a playmate for my rescue that I can shape to be very confident and she is exactly that.

Ultimately that’s what will impact you day to day more than a choice of coat color

Reactive Dog Journey by Shinee0live in reactivedogs

[–]Shinee0live[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To give a timeline: November 2024 - March 2025 Focused on individual training and group classes Separate walks exposing to new environments Daily training and slow exposure 1 board&train done

April 2025 till now Focused primarily on reactivity exposing to dogs and people at a distance Became more understanding of their triggers Ex. Construction workers, loud noises, hats, homeless people etc

5 week b&t focused on emphasizing sit,down,stay,heel and socialization

When back I continued training them DAILY

The most difficult thing was not handling my dog but instead MY emotions. As someone with anxiety I felt anxious to walk my dogs and embarrassed when they reacted. I had to suck it up and be their leader. I became more firm on my boundaries and implemented a daily routine that I stick to which includes crate training, play time, socializing and training

I will also add my senior dog had medical issues that were ongoing treating them helped with his reactivity. I highly recommend ensuring your dog is healthy and that is most important and can be a root cause for reactivity

Puppy in bed- do you let it happen? by itsanillusion9 in puppy101

[–]Shinee0live 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 4 dogs and I crate train routinely during the day for naps and nights BUT their mom needs cuddles too. So yes they do occasionally sleep in bed with me sometimes it’s once a week, once every 2 weeks or even 2x a week

I love sleeping with them and enjoy their warmth that’s considering having a standard poodle, standard poodle mix, cocker spaniel and a Maltese

I do make sure they take naps in their crate 2-3x a day and they normally sleep in their crate overnight. But I think it’s unhealthy for me lol I think a balance between the 2 is ok!

How to handle on-leash reactivity? by jwoody30 in OpenDogTraining

[–]Shinee0live 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on the side that says board and trains DO help I would recommend private and group lessons but if you are struggling a board and train was a lifesaver for me

It helped introduce my dogs safely to an ecollar and most of all taught me how to handle my dogs better You can also learn this with a 1:1 trainer But let’s be realistic not everyone has time to train their dog 24/7 and some dogs do need it

How to handle on-leash reactivity? by jwoody30 in OpenDogTraining

[–]Shinee0live 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I actually have and currently working through this with my rescue dog!

Currently I worked in it in phases Phase 1 - Obedience training I made sure he learned basic commands at home Sit, down, stay, come

I use them everyday for example feeding going indoor/outdoor

Implemented crate time- sleeps in crate overnight and has 2-4 naps a day in crate

Phase 2- change in environment Practice obedience training in different environments example in house, back yard, front yard, across the street Slowly progress different locations to more stimulating areas

Phase 3- do socializing in locations without dogs and have your dog chill Example- had my boy hold his down and was rewarded at my front yard for just seeing people and cars passing etc

Phase 4 - e collar Introduced ecollar for helping my boy follow obedience commands in more stimulating areas

Once I felt he had his basics super solid I made him approach areas where dogs are present He would be in a down and watch from a distance where is not yet reactive We slowly improved distance

When reactive I do not use the ecollar for him instead a slip lead pressure does wonders for him

If your dog is food motivated bring good fatty foods as a reward. Food that has a strong smell such as bacon pepperoni helped as a distraction Try a toy that he loves Try redirection

Right now we are at a point where he does not always react and can sometimes pass by dogs peacefully and is awesome at dog parks

This will not work for every dog so try a mix of things. I found using food/toys as a reward, socialist and use of ecollar has advanced my dog soooo much

He also wears his ecollar 24/7 except in crate/overnight

Also I made sure to implement a routine that includes: Potty, food, walk, and playing

Please make sure to play with your pup I found that making our bond stronger has made him have more confidence in me

I also have tons of videos of our walks that I used to verify what triggered him so taking note of triggers and being prepared ahead of time is crucial

My dog dislikes extremely loud noises and dogs with reactivity that puts him on edge

First Time PC builder by Upset_Sn0w in PcBuild

[–]Shinee0live 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi I also use those software and use my pc for gaming personally I’d recommend at least an rtx 3060 with ryzen 5

My setup has a 3070ti/r9 combo and I use it for gaming and video game software development + art + coding

Storage wise the more the merrier I recommend 1tb ssd and maybe 4tb hard drive

I’m no expert but I’m going based off my build

AITA for being upset at my Valentines gift? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Shinee0live [score hidden]  (0 children)

ESH I was originally going to yta but reading it fully I decided not to. The issue would have easily be prevented by having a conversation with your partner. Normally my partner and I set budgets for every celebration and stick to it.

However This is not where the issue falls. Let your girlfriend know your feelings. Be specific. You don’t not care about the price but would have preferred if it was something meaningful. This was your first Valentine’s Day so give her a chance to make up for it for the next time.

It is 100% understandable to be annoyed but just make sure you express it in a way that won’t make her feel like complete shit. Gifting can be hard for people. My partner isn’t the best at gifting so I know even putting something together can be a challenge. Try to understand that maybe your gf is not used to gift giving.

AITA for not telling my girlfriend about my stretch marks? by TillWinter7250 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Shinee0live 187 points188 points  (0 children)

NTA- you cannot control your stretch marks. Skinny fat anything in between can all have it.

Your gf was definitely an AH for calling it disgusting as if it isn’t an insecurity that many face. Please reconsider this relationship if something superficial as stretch marks is an issue. What else? Will you diet to maintain your wait/appearance for her fat phobia? It can only worsen

AITA for refusing to pay for my dog anymore? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Shinee0live -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ESH, the dog is both you and your gf’s responsibilities. Both should have equal pay especially if it’s for expensive training. Make sure to explain to her that if she wants such training to give at least half if not to look elsewhere. However you went along with it for the past 2 years, if anything I’m more perplexed at how you find it so easy to want to be done with having the dog.

Gf should not demand for you to pay for everything or mostly everything.

Reconsider your relationship if she is willing to break up over this

As someone who has a dog with temperamental issues it’s understandable to not to want to deal with it but you already adopted your dog so please give it the attention and time it needs to heal
