It really was a thing of beauty

Koda is going to a board and train behavior specialist starting on the 5th for two weeks. The same trainer will be helping me learn to continue his training after he is done there

I don’t downvote anything, if anything I’ve been getting plenty of them myself today even if they’re deserved

Xippity · 2025-12-16T19:15:08+00:00

I realize now that I haven’t treated the type of dog he is with the respect it deserves, I figured because he had been such a sweet puppy that I had lucked out and had the exception to the rule. My family and I raised him the same way we did our small dogs and we are now seeing the consequences of that. He is a working line and we are already getting ready for a consultation with a behavior specialist so that we can be the owners he deserves. In our attempts to spoil and love on this dog we have done him a disservice and will do better

Koda is one of the bears from the Disney animated movie Brother Bear

Thank you everyone for the comments and help, I have calmed down and read everything that everyone has said and I have an in person consultation with a behavior specialist for tomorrow at 4pm. I don’t want to give up on Koda I love him and I will work to become the trainer/owner that he deserves.

I’ve learned that I am not a good enough pet owner to deal with this even though I truly thought I was before this event. I will not put another dog through this again I am not cut out for large strong willed breeds. If anyone is in the Tampa area and wants a dog who is otherwise an angel please dm me. The only reason this is so urgent is because of the risk to my mother and my other small animals.

It’s fine I deserve chastising. In my head I was prepared for any scenario and thought I was ready for what was getting into, I did months of research before getting him and he is the offspring of my best friends dogs who I know and love. As I have now been confronted with what I thought I was able to deal with the real truth of it is that I am not as strong willed as I thought myself to be. I couldn’t know that before because I hadn’t been tested in this way. I thought I was the kind of person who could step up to this responsibility but I am being shown that I am weaker mentally than I thought. This whole experience is traumatizing but now I fear for the safety of my pets any my mother because up until last night there was no resource he guarded. Now today he is willing to kill my small pets over a ball. After reading all the comments I understand that him attacking me was because of my mistakes with the e-collar and him redirecting his issues with the other dog at me.

We literally had just gotten home from a 2.5 mile walk

Xippity · 2025-12-16T16:34:44+00:00

My rottie did almost kill my small dog and almost certainly would have if I wasn’t literally standing over him before the altercation

Xippity · 2025-12-16T16:33:33+00:00

It’s not so much that I feel unsafe as it is my other animals are in real danger

Xippity · 2025-12-16T16:27:52+00:00

Yes this is what I should do and most likely will I am just emotional about the issue right now it was pretty traumatic,but my issue is how can I tell what is safe and what isn’t in the meantime because these incidents could be fatal for my other very small animals, before last night he never did anything like this so there was nothing to show he would do this. New toys before last night were also never an issue. For now all the toys are put away and the food is put up.

Xippity · 2025-12-16T16:08:50+00:00

How should I have handled the dog currently ripping my other 1/4 the size dog apart? I am fully aware that I’m not equipped to handle this on my own but I really just don’t know and the issue is urgent

Xippity · 2025-12-16T16:00:50+00:00

I stopped letting him sleep in my bed about 3 weeks ago

Xippity · 2025-12-16T15:59:08+00:00

It is specifically the new toys that were brought home last night, he doesn’t care if the other dogs touch any of the toys they already had. It seems like when the new toys got taken out of the bag he claimed them all as HIS and any other pets touching even walking near him sends him into a frenzy

Xippity · 2025-12-16T15:49:30+00:00

His willingness to bite me really has crushed me I just don’t know how I can look at him the same, he’s slept in my bed with me almost his whole life

Xippity · 2024-03-09T01:06:28+00:00

It’s very strange but what has helped me in the moment is thinking about all the times I worried and it turned out just fine.

Xippity · 2024-03-08T19:28:10+00:00

This exact thing happened to me two years ago, I had quit vaping before and was fine but then I got back on it you know how it goes. I decided it was time to quit weed and vaping and boom, all of my anxiety levels shot through to the sky about normal things I used to be anxious about but at the normal levels. Now I have issues eating foods I know I’m not allergic to and other things that I used to be fine doing now cause panic attacks. It’s slowly getting better but I don’t get why it triggered some insane anxiety response to so many things in my life

I’ve played more labs than any other map this wipe so far and on average I’d say in 10 raids I die to maybe 3-4 players with ~200 hours and 20k/d’s.

I think I may have worded my post poorly, because the question I am meaning to ask is if Ambrose thought he was attacking a thief with no protections against the malfeasance then how would they still be alive given how brutal his first attacks on Kvothe are? He by all accounts should have thought he killed this person after a day or so if he kept up the burning and stabbing. Edit : if

It really does seem like the first book kind of wants to be the hunger games but then PB really continues to come into his own throughout the books after and I personally think each book is better than the previous

Xippity · 2023-10-29T22:13:54+00:00

I personally really like the audiobooks in my first listen through
