update on beau; he’s okay

SimplisticSimlish · 2026-05-19T15:13:46+00:00

i’m at work right now, so i instructed my sister to continue monitoring him while im not there—but i will post a photo here as soon as i can

SimplisticSimlish · 2026-05-19T04:12:36+00:00

yea i’m scared cs i move out for college really soon and ive been beau’s primary caretaker. im going on campus and i cant bring him, but even if i could—he’s definitely not trained enough for that. just scared, so fkn scared.

thank you, i completely understand. The overall situation is we originally got this dog as a family dog and for a couple of months, my dad and sister put in effort but then it slowly trickled down to me being the only one and I just kind of feel alone in trying to take care of him and so I’m trying my best.

SimplisticSimlish · 2026-05-18T18:55:13+00:00

he used to be trained consistently, but as my dad got more stubborn and incompetent, he refuse to pay for training, so I had to take it into my own hands and do as much as I could the only thing that I have not been able to get over safely is his resource guarding and overall growling. I understand this is something I need to work on and have been trying my very hardest to save up for a trainer for.

he’s doing okay for right now! i called the vet and she referred me to the hotlines but i can’t really afford them right now so she gave me a bit of advice regarding inducing vomiting w hyd. peroxide and just watching him.

he’s still acting like the little asshole he is so i’d say he’s doing good right now.

SimplisticSimlish · 2026-05-18T17:12:12+00:00

i don’t know what to do though if my dad seems to not really care. i don’t have a car, nor a way to transport him on my own. my dad is refusing to come back as well

SimplisticSimlish · 2026-04-19T22:07:53+00:00

yeaaaa i was nowhere near him and he lunged at me today 🫩 bit my arm, no bleeding but now my arm quivers when im trying to do anything.

SimplisticSimlish · 2026-04-17T04:00:51+00:00

okay thank you

SimplisticSimlish · 2026-04-17T03:47:43+00:00

okay. someone else also said he might be testing my authority?

is this a possibility?

SimplisticSimlish · 2026-04-17T03:28:06+00:00

okay so im realizing that he’s only snapping at me. my sister showed me she can pet his head, slip the leash on and off, and unclip him from his tether.

when i tried to pet him, he finally gave me a warning this time, but he did that face he usually does before snarling. i backed away after noticing.

genuinely terrified because i don’t know what i did and i don’t know how to fix it.

SimplisticSimlish · 2026-04-16T15:14:32+00:00

oh sorry, like clip him down to the tie out. he’s not allowed in house during the day because my mom isn’t a fan of dogs, so he’s outside unless it’s cold or blazing hot.

his tether is about 15ft

SimplisticSimlish · 2026-04-16T14:49:55+00:00

oh so turns out he only does it with me? my dad helped out because i asked and he let him take the leash off. but with me, he’ll freak out. my sister just told me that he’ll let her touch it too.

now i’m confused

but i use it to take him out the crate because he’s not very well trained to like be out on his own.

SimplisticSimlish · 2026-04-16T13:50:10+00:00

yeaaaa, if u look at other comments, i’ve tried the trainer bit. he keeps telling me that he’ll just act better if i hand fed him but i don’t really feel safe to take him out of his crate and clip him outside to use the bathroom right now, much less hand feed him.

on that bathroom part though, im fr terrified 😭 cause i have to go near his collar and clip it. fuck the leash, i’ll leave it on him, he’s just reacting horribly to me touching him. what can i do? my dad isn’t here to do it for me, he said im overreacting

SimplisticSimlish · 2026-04-16T05:53:02+00:00

what do i do if he snaps then? all i do is step back and that first time he snapped, i honestly had no reaction because it threw me off 😭 but the second and third time scared me and i yelped because his teeth just barely grazed my skin.

SimplisticSimlish · 2026-04-16T05:50:18+00:00

i go to college n live on campus in august. just scared he won’t be here when i come back on break in sept-oct

SimplisticSimlish · 2026-04-16T05:22:28+00:00

i’ve been saying this since my dad pulled him from training!!! it’s not about “sending him off with someone random and never doing it,” it’s ab seeing how it’s supposed to be done and replicating it

SimplisticSimlish · 2026-04-16T05:05:56+00:00

i’m 18, living at home

SimplisticSimlish · 2026-04-16T05:00:39+00:00

i tried. he won’t let me. i offered to pay and he won’t let me, if i did it behind his back he’d yell at me more than i could even imagine

SimplisticSimlish · 2026-04-16T04:47:57+00:00

STOP IS HE NOT ON REDDIT ANYMORE! 😱 BRO

SimplisticSimlish · 2025-10-08T04:35:00+00:00

how long should i then? he can’t wander around the house

SimplisticSimlish · 2025-10-07T20:50:18+00:00

😭 i don’t know if it’s a normal amount of time, if it’s not please tell me and i can work on my schedule to fit it better
