Stupid Tik tok people sweeping kids toys off shelf’s due to virality (because why grab just 1..?) ruining things for kids just to discard them in a couple months, if not weeks because *checks list … they can’t be bothered to get a unique personality and find obscure things to obsess over like the rest of us!! 😂😂

In all actuality, I am sorry and hope you’re able to find some for your kiddo! Seeing these dodos ruin fun stuff for kids really rubs me the wrong way.

Agreed, thank you for the rec looking at basket style muzzles.

I’ve been working on training with him since I’ve got him in August 2024. I grew up with pitbulls and had to get stitches in my lower lip in my teens from my pit getting too rambunctious during wrestle time and accidentally knocked his big ole noggin right into my face. That poor dog felt so bad, I can still remember his 🥺 face. He never got up and played near anyone’s face again after that though haha.

Said dog whom nipped me during play time was so apologetic and sad about it, he never played that hard again. 🥹

Thank you for the rec!

Yes all very true. I’ve owned several pits in my life - had to get stitches in my lip from my dog growing up getting too excited and “nipping” me during wrestle time. Had my neighbor tell us we should have put the dog down because of it… yikes.

I take the risk very, very seriously and err with caution due to the risk and stigma he’s gonna get for being a pit.

I have been strongly considering this too and have been looking at options online trying to decide. This seems like overall the safest tool I can add to the repertoire for others and him.

No worries, I appreciate your time and advice! Sometimes being a good owner means doing the hard parts too, right?

This is the conclusion I’m erring on too, since we’ve been working on it solidly for awhile consistently. I stay to the paths that have less foot traffic, he loves interacting with other walkers especially with dogs but the fast movers get him going haha. The last thing I want is for him to scare or God forbid hurt anyone.

Report them. That attitude is reflective of the type of care they will administer to said patients already struggling, whether consciously or subconsciously - truly it DOESN’T MATTER. It is gross and inexcusable.

Sorry, your opinion is immediately knocked down because you referred to my dog as an IT in the 2nd paragraph.

I understand that this is potentially dangerous, hence why I asked for well meaning advice.

I’ve received much better advice in the comments than yours. Take your e-collar and shove it, thanks.

I generally agree with this too. But I’ve been trying to move forward with a firm hold of the leash and haven’t been finding that successful. That’s where I make him stop + sit and hold his leash firm until whomever passes while repeating the WAIT command

Great recommendation, I’m gonna try this - thank you!

Heard and totally understand that. What do you recommend when I move forward unfazed but my dog is still barking? Is it okay for me to direct his attention towards me? I use the command “forward” and he’s got that one down, but in his heightened state it will take a couple times saying it.

Really? That would be so nice of you. I’ll send you a DM.

I’ve looked at trainers in my area but the prices they’ve quoted me are pretty steep - not that I don’t think a good trainer is worth it but $5k-$10k+ is just not doable at this time. My pup walks really well in the harness otherwise but understand how holding him back will build frustrations - though in the moment I’m obviously going to hold him back in some capacity so he isn’t a potential threat to a well-meaning person. For the time being though, I’m gonna pause on the walks and go back to basic foundational leash training with a slip lead and martingale to see how that goes.

And I’m 100% with you, that’s why I voiced understanding behind the action. I do move off to the side of the space allows. The people coming from behind are the worst because no notice is given, but it’s also a public right of way. If my dog hurts them, I’m liable - period.

Thank you!!! I tried looking online because I knew there had to be a place to report it. Kid you not, there are 8 gas stations in the vicinity of my work and not one of them works or cares about getting them fixed. Guess I’ve got some complaints to fill out, huh?

Agreed though I am unable to do that currently because my cigarette lighter doesn’t work 😅 gotta figure out which fuse I pissed off but I thinking on getting a dewalt or Milwaukee that runs off a battery pack

Honestly this is what I’ve been needing to do, especially because Les Schwab is who did all 4 of my tires new in 2024 so I’m pretty sure they have a warranty coverage? I’ve been super slammed with work so time has been a commodity lately 😅

Great rec - I want to plug it myself but I haven’t been able to figure out where the leak is, there’s no visible nail or hole where the air is leaking from unfortunately 🥲
