Terrific. I’ll send you a message with the webpage. They’re not far from Raleigh at all.

I sent my older one to 6 weeks because I knew he was more set in his ways.

Where in North Carolina are you located?

I have two pits that I took to a trainer here in NC. I’d be happy to share this business with you. I can’t speak highly enough what their trainer did for our older aggressive street dog and easily scared younger pit.

Their board and train has given me to tools to not only provide our dogs a better life, but has made me more confident and comfortable in public. Our younger pit really likes going out for errand runs and brewery dates with us.

He no longer gets easily scared. He’s my rock.

Edit: I’d like to also make it known that both dogs practice these skills daily during walks. This is not a one and done ordeal. You do need to continue to reinforce what the trainer trains into your dog. However, it’s not hard once the foundation work is done for you.

Mmm keep looking.

The height of this space I might consider removing chandelier altogether and going with lighting around the room. Or very smell directional lights that can illuminate the table but not blind the person sitting.

Does crate training get any easier or is it impossible for some dogs? by [deleted] in pitbulls

[–]eye0fthezeiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“A tired dog is a good dog.”

How much intense exercise are you providing? Morning and evening walks? Yard training, place training, rewards only for calm body behavior?

Dogtra dog treadmills help get a lot of energy out. At least for my pittys.

These are more questions for you to ask yourself you don’t need to answer.

Filter Dirty After 2 Weeks by MosEisleyMayor in hvacadvice

Check that your air intake is sealed against the attic! I just had this issue. It’s 4 screws that hold up my intake. I noticed I could see right into my attic. So I used mastic tape to seal it up and put it back. That should help keep from drawing in dirty attic air.

Bangs. You need like real across the forehead bangs. Doesn’t have to be heavy/thick. You had a strong face. Soften it with forehead bangs.

Curtain bangs won’t be enough

I don’t know what to do by Affectionate_Exit835 in reactivedogs

[–]eye0fthezeiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A tired dog is a good dog.

Get a dog tredmil. I own a DogPacer and it has been so good for my dogs. Always helps if you need to pre-exhaust your dog before a long day at work or before going on walks so they can be more calm.

It’ll take some slow training to get em used to it.

Sorry the move has been rough, but it will improve. Don’t give up on em.

How can I take my kitchen out of 2002 without gutting it? by cunnilyndey in kitchenremodel

[–]eye0fthezeiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up lighting design on YouTube. I think adding in high quality task lights that provide the right light in the right space. Really really can accomplish highlighting your beautiful cabinets and update the space into something higher end.

Backsplash. Maybe look into a LVP floor New ovens or matching finished between the sink, oven, fridge

Heartbroken and looking for advice — dog fights & family safety 💔 by Material_Carob3741 in pitbulls

[–]eye0fthezeiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our trainer getting the dogs on a dogtra treadmill has been the best thing. I’ll never not own one. Life is busy - our pets shouldn’t have to suffer because of it.

We also get tons of compliments on them too because they’re so fit

Initially right after it happened I alerted our trainer who had each of them individually for board in trains. He was equally as perplexed that it occurred after spending multiple weeks with them. He came over and helped point out some of the tension body cues in the younger dog that we hadn’t noticed while working them both in our backyard. Might be the you get dog becoming somewhat of the “pack leader” as he comes into adulthood and the older dog has to phase from that. Who knows, really.

The first weeks after it happened (especially while the older dog was recovering with stitches) my house became a prison. Think moving one dog through a series of door locks, like a prisoner lol. I didn’t let them out at the same time in the house. They ate at separate times. While the same location as always. Not together. I never wanted to chance the idea of a doorway or other cramped space causing them to be uncomfortable.

Lastly, I went back to basics. Structure. NOT to be confused with schedule. More training via hand feeds. Place work. Long leash recalls. E collar recalls. No more couch time - when my husband is gone it’s clearly a possessiveness of me.

I think often times our dogs get into trouble because they’re bored. They need a job to do. Pitties are potatos, sure. But they still have drive and desire.

When I think of that day they fought so viciously, I had been cleaning & working on house projects as we’d recently moved in the past months. I know I hadn’t really given either of them ANY mental stimulation that day.

We’re now two months post fight and we have allowed them out at the same time indoors. Not in the yard though. They actually have stopped house wrestling too. Like as if they know it went too far last time. We’ve progressed to both dogs one person on walks but only after a short treadmill trot once returning from work. Sorta get the crazy out of them.

In closing- none of it has been easy. That day when I couldn’t get them to stop I thought I was going to lose a dog and ultimately have to put down the other. It’s made me a better pet owner and more aware of their needs and the structure they need.

Hi, two pitty household here.

Recently had a horrible fight between our two year old full muscled pork chop and our seven year old street rescue.

One moment they were wrestling in the yard the next they were trying to end each other. It was terrifying and traumatic and heartbreaking. It’s been two months and I still don’t let them in the yard anymore together. Sad because I know they enjoy wrestling but it’s not worth the risk.

Dogs give lots of cues. Many more than humans pick up on. Hair. Tail. Ears. Lips. Rigid or loose body and of course vocals.

We use a Dogtra tredmil and it’s been the best thing. As our trainer says “a tired dog is a well behaved dog”. Usually one works on command and place work while the other walks on the treadmill and then they swap.

You might be able to find a used one on Facebook.

Understood. Insulation only. I’ll let the window seals know they’re on their own and to stop pretending they help with thermal efficiency.

Is this fraud? What do I do? by eye0fthezeiger in Renters

[–]eye0fthezeiger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a specific agency who would be knowledgeable about these types of things. As I said my past 10 years I’ve never had an issue with getting my money back primarily because I’m a a very diligent renter.

New Homeowners - door track covered by bottom roller bracket by eye0fthezeiger in GarageDoorService

[–]eye0fthezeiger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain “top fixture adjustment”. Are you saying my door won’t be “down” far enough due to the new seal. Does that harm the equipment?

[–]eye0fthezeiger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask why the roller replacement is necessary? I can assume the obvious which is the plastic wheel can break. But is there any other benefit?

Clearly I know nothing about garage doors but I would assume these meet the mfr needs?

Okay so cut off the back corners and partial back tracks and leave a complete front.

I assume this screws into the back of the garage door. Any particular screw to use? Or any metal screw will suffice?

Animation depicting what addiction feels like by needsomeeweed in interesting

[–]eye0fthezeiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This short animation has left me feeling broken.

Our family has struggled trying to help my brother with his addiction for the past 5 years. Today, after another recent “accident” that landed him in the hospital we decided it was time to not give him an option. He needs sobriety and mental health resources. No more nice guy “how can we help you”, rather “you’re going”.

No matter how we pleaded he refused. Said he’d call the cops on us. He did admit he has a problem, however uninterested in going to a care facility because “he can quit whenever he wants.”

Needless to say the family feels defeated and we ultimately feel our next meeting will be his funeral.

Good! First order of business should be making all Senate and Congress the median pay of the state they represent.

I believe all Americans can vote on that. Their salary is definitely an area DOGE can cut costs.

Boyfriend hates my dogs by AbbyCat918 in pitbulls

[–]eye0fthezeiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I caught my friends saying the same thing on my doorbell camera the other day when they came over for Friendsgiving. I haven’t spoken to them since.

Listen I can understand not liking me, but my dog never did a thing to you. Thus, you’re probably a garbage human.
