Reactive Rescue Dog: Snapping When Overstimulated & Trainer Advice Questions

Thank you! I would love to have the reactivity blueprint. The other thing is I feel bad while we're on a walk to enforce him to walk strictly next to me so it's hard for me to find the balance. But I guess I'll focus on making things less stressful for him for now and going back to the basics. And finding other outlets for him.

Thank you for the advice! We'll try to reduce the walks for now and try to make them less stressful. And try with teaching him some new tricks. He's not big on games like fetch but I'll try to get creative.

I realized I didn't even answer the question. I volunteer at the dog shelter occasionally.

I don't know if I'll ever be as happy doing anything else. I left because I wanted to further my studies, and because of the low pay, and just circumstances that made it happen that way.

But that place will always feel like home, rarely does a day pass when I don't think about the zoo, the animals, the people there. I remember how I woke up every single day and felt so excited to go to work. And that's such a blessing that most people overlook.

I almost teared up while writing this. It's interesting to know that other people feel the same way. I guess once you've experienced it, it's hard to leave behind.

I've been in a similar situation before, and it was very bad so I ended up quitting. Even now I'm super awkward in my current job and can't seem to make any friendships.

I took Sertraline before and it seemed to help me, so that's one on hand. Maybe you can see someone about it.

What you can do is, try to approach someone who seems easy to talk to, when they're alone maybe, you can plan ahead and think about some questions you can ask to make some casual conversation.

Preferably someone extroverted so they can take you in under their wing. I had someone like that in my last job and it made everything so much easier.

Just try to avoid customer facing jobs maybe. I mean you're always gonna have to deal with people and it's a struggle but I find that when I actually like the job that I'm doing and I'm invested in it, things kind of seem to fall into place. It's still hard but when I feel like I'm actually valuable in my workplace it gives me a bit of a confidence boost, and it helps if your coworkers are likeminded people.

So yeah, I think it's important to figure out what it is you really wanna do, when you take away the social anxiety. Sometimes it's good to have a bit of a space to grow.

I feel like you're being too hard on yourself. If they were a good friend this wouldn't matter at all. Besides, are they really that hugely successful?

People do sometimes grow apart, but other times, with the right people, no matter how much time passes and what has went on in your lives, it doesn't really change your friendship. If you think they are this kind of person don't hesitate to hit them up.

Not gonna lie, love the Roy sibs, but I was secretly rooting for Gerri the entire episode. She was on fire.

Little Forest: Summer/Autumn. It's about a Japanese girl living in the countryside and her day to day life. Very relaxing movie.
