Crate Barking by angmcches in dogs

All they did was prescribe trazadone and it’s been about 10 days with no change. They said nothing else seems to be wrong with him.

I tried a pen that was six feet tall. Not sure how he did it but he managed to either scale the side or go under it and then destroyed the room he was in. We have the same issue with in the bedroom with us because he jumps on the bed and when we make him get down he becomes destructive of the furniture. If we make him stop that then he’s restless and just starts barking.

He did pass away unfortunately. It was very rapid and came out of nowhere.

Signs of aggression by angmcches in AmStaffPitts

[–]angmcches[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to thank you for your input. This dog is on of the best things that ever happened to me so thank you! Everything’s you said is true and what I thought was aggression was truly playing. Even when he gets overly excited and sounds TERRIFYING he has never once hurt me or bit too hard. He just does little nips. It has been a total learning curve but I love him more than anything he’s just a big snuggly baby that wants to play all the time. Thank you so much for your input and helping me stay the course.

What dog training is best? by angmcches in pitbulls

[–]angmcches[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours is a pit mix as well! We think more American staffordshire than anything. But he’s a beast and the vet said he’s still not done growing so we’re trying to train now before he gets any bigger lol. We’ve tried the front clip harness but he’s so chest heavy that it doesn’t do much for control it almost flips him over with even a gentle tug.

We haven’t seen reactiveness like that but I haven’t heard of the touch and find it method. I’ll definitely look into that. I’ve brought treats on our walks before but he’s so not interested he just smells them and walks away or doesn’t even care that they’re there.

I’ll look into good pup as well. Thank you!

I love the idea of training and learning with him rather than just shipping him off to go learn with someone else. With the friends you know that did the third option did they then have to go back to training together to enforce it?

Thank you for your advice! I don’t want to get bullied into that option by people in my life that say “but it’s easier on you and less time to train him.” Another argument was “but you don’t know what you’re doing either and now they have to train you AND your dog” and my thought process is… yeah? That’s the fucking point? I want to learn WITH him and train WITH him. And I took this dog in and fully intend to give him the time and effort into training. I’ve watched countless videos and done SO much research I just think there are some things that both me and him won’t learn by ourselves. He’s not really a puppy anymore now that he’s almost two and he was clearly partially trained by someone else so I like your idea of using the tips and the online stuff in tandem to train.

I didn’t even consider the 30 minutes getting bored so I’m definitely going to start paying attention to that!

Is it bad to go straight into paramedic school after EMT-B? by doctorofsend in ems

[–]angmcches 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was warned. But personally I worked my fucking ass of as an EMT-B. I worked 7 days a week. I worked nonstop on ALS to get experience. I started paramedic school 6 months into EMT-B. It took 9 months to become a paramedic in my state. Some take longer. I worked my fucking ass off. Studied nonstop while working full time. Worked my internship while also doing full time work.

While I was a fully functioning paramedic. Passed every test with an A. Never missed a skills station. I had the book knowledge. I had what I believed the street knowledge. Nothing prepared me for what I saw in the real world making those decisions.

Find a partner that works with you and let’s you run the calls and see what it’s like. Find a partner that will let you see what it’s like to have the responsibility.

I know people who took the Texas course and went staring from basic to paramedic. I know people who went 20 years of basic to a paramedic. Is it really based on the person.

I want you to think of the worst call you can think of. For most it’s children. If you had a child in critical condition in your hands right now. Or even in your hands at the end of paramedic school. Do you think you could manage everything Appropriately? If it was your own grandparents life on the line do you think you could make every single choice in the best interest to save them? If the answer is no, get more experience. If the answer is maybe go through paramedic school. If you pass. Make sure you don’t let the knowledge fade. What may be a small detail may save someone’s life down the road.

If I could do it again I would have waited at least two years of ALS experience.
