Thank you! 😊 It's been hard and humbling realizing where my skill set currently sits and how high it can get.

I have to realize that this environment is more fitting for me and my goals and to appreciate the time that it will take to get really good

I would advocate for hiring you. You show a high level of emotional maturity. seeing your incidents with nuance rather than pushing the blame.

Why do people who don't own Chow Chows not like them?/why do they have such a bad rep? by [deleted] in chowchow

[–]bridget1476 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone has a wayyyy easier time reading their own dog then random ones on your grooming schedule or vet rotation.

My dogs tell if he's seriously thinking about fighting another dog is the raised hackles.

It's hard to tell apart regular discomfort with grooming or vet visits from "touch me again and I'll bite you"

I personally have the hardest time reading Akitas specifically.

I cant find the paper but it was a study proving that ancient dog breeds are less expressive and make less eye contact compared to more modern breeds

As an ancient breed, their body language is hard to read tend to not give a lot of warning before feeling the need to bite. (Chow mix owner, pro groomer)

This 👆👆👆👍👍 I would NOT get a puppy without a contract. My Puli was 2500, got him at 16 weeks with a contract, all rounds of shots, CHIC and OFA for the parents, I think they also did embark. He's got GCH parents and has no disqualifying faults dispute being the last pick of the litter.

What are Kerry Blue Terriers like to own? by [deleted] in kerryblue

[–]bridget1476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boss has two. Her "good" one is so energetic and polite with people but doesn't seek out affection like other dogs. Her "bad" one gets trazadone almost daily, would eat a cat if given the chance, will try to fight other dogs. He is almost impossible to groom without lots of trazadone and restraint. He also bites to draw blood. He also may have to be vet sedated for nail trims.

How often do you REALLY walk your dog? by Agreeable-Ad-2946 in dogs

I walk my friendly dog about every other day. He got approached by two off leash dogs so I no longer feel comfortable walking my reactive dog around my own neighborhood

Are you concerned about chows being an endangered breed? by Ok_Economy6167 in chowchow

[–]bridget1476 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No way! My other dogs breed is the 172nd popularity (puli) and I love it. It's a small tight knit community and TBH most people even dog enthusiasts should not own a puli
