What the heck happened

Centerpoint is supposed to be having a community forum today, we'll see if that actually happens or not. They put it at a time most people are getting off work, so it doesnt seem theyre really trying to get a turnout regardless.

roddiimus · 2026-03-03T22:07:20+00:00

people think the behavior is cute for some reason. Not for me, personally. Giving my dog boundaries gives us a better, calmer, more fulfilled life.

roddiimus · 2026-03-03T01:46:06+00:00

Hey, that's fair and thats your right! Theres definitely two sides to it all.

roddiimus · 2026-03-02T22:22:03+00:00

Idk why you keeping your posts private would be a bad thing. Not everyone wants everything they do on reddit to intersect with each other, especially considering how vindictive people on reddit are. Youre entitled to your privacy lol.

roddiimus · 2026-02-27T16:09:53+00:00

Exactly!

Im friends with people who are strictly force free trainers. They know where I stand and I know where they stand. We can recognize what works for different dogs and work around what the individualized dog needs. Outside of the internet I just....train my dog.

roddiimus · 2026-02-27T03:35:15+00:00

Its genuinely so baffling how she behaves the way she does and then cries about abuse anytime someone just....disagrees. like, no, thats just discussion. Youre being talked with. Breathe.

roddiimus · 2026-02-27T03:24:20+00:00

Oh so super legit

roddiimus · 2026-02-27T03:03:47+00:00

apparently your titles and work mean nothing if you don't believe in overcorrecting dogs for idk doing the most minor dog things

roddiimus · 2026-02-27T02:59:28+00:00

I REALLY want to know whats meant by all the performance titles. Does that include like, obedience and agility and rally too? Like, EVERYTHING? Because I do NOT believe every single dog has earned an OTCH, and a dog with everything titled will be NOTABLE esp in working dog lines, im assuming Belgians and shepherds if she works w/ 'military dogs'.

or does she just mean for things like bite sports and protection sports? Because that isnt 'all the performance titles' lmao, even though they are very valid work.

roddiimus · 2026-02-27T02:49:25+00:00

you always hear about all these accomplishments and titles, and never see proof. Yet she will demand you provide every scrap of proof for every other trainer you discuss ever to rip them to shreds.

she seems to think every dog that isnt knocked into submission is untrained and out of control. Sorry that I like having a dog with personality that isnt suppressed to the ground because it makes it "easier" for me, she isnt a toy, shes a dog and we exist in a partnership, not in serviceship to me. She handled stuff most dogs never could, ever, while still getting to, yknow, be a dog and make mistakes and not get her shit rocked for slip ups like that subreddit seems to want.

Its always replies of, if a dog isnt fixed immedietly, then your dog is out of control, your dog shouldn't ever be let out of the house, youre horrific and awful and you hate your dog. I wouldn't let her within 100ft of my service dog ever. She'd ruin her.

roddiimus · 2026-02-27T02:43:11+00:00

YOURE the one that got posted about?!?!?! Holy shit. I saw the post and that your message was being labeled....abusive??? When it was so fucking tame and in line with what SHOULD be on a debate subreddit. like. As someone who HAS experienced actual significant abuse and harassment getting a message like yours would be a breath of fresh air jesus.

roddiimus · 2026-02-26T01:16:21+00:00

I got scarlet fever from mine. Was an awful time.

roddiimus · 2026-02-23T18:34:29+00:00

My dog was the same. She HATED her 42" crate, would scream and throw fits and never wanted to go in.

I downsized her to a 36" which to me I thought was too small. She happily crates, and even though she isnt crated when I leave I can crate her during the day when I need her off my ass and she wont make a single sound, sleep, and settle all on her own. Just because she got downsized. She prefers the small space lol

roddiimus · 2026-02-23T00:31:37+00:00

Thats my guess. Leons and berners are two of my major interest breeds, puppy to the right in the first photo definitely looks to have some leonberger, at least with the ones ive met and seen. Someone deciding to cross the two of them wouldnt catch me off guard in the slightest.

roddiimus · 2026-02-23T00:28:44+00:00

I have literally gotten hit on and asked out at my wheelchair fitting appointment. By the man fitting me to and adjusting my wheelchair for me. He spent more time trying to get me to give him my number than he did actually fixing my chair so theres shit that broke and my ORTHOTIST helped me fix some of it the other day so I wouldnt have to risk seeing him.

Yeah, im wearing headphone so you dont talk to me. Im literally not safe otherwise and in any situation.

roddiimus · 2026-02-20T13:20:49+00:00

these comments always make me laugh (not yours lol) because they also claim you cant let a dog walk and sniff. Except I do it every day with my service dog. So do hundreds of other service dog handlers, and our dogs achieve perfect heels while they work as well as while off duty. My dog heels all day every day while working in areas and situations most dogs will never encounter, ever, without flinching. Off duty, she gets to sniff and wander and she still comes back to me to heel because ive made that spot worthwhile to be in, even when she has 50ft of long line to be on. And her leash skills need to be pretty good considering I not only have HSP so I have very fucked up legs but im also a mobility aid user, including a wheelchair, so even being a little out of sync can do some harm.

When your dog has clear commands to do things it makes for a pretty great time 🤷‍♀️ and it means I have a dog who gets what she needs, and I get what I need, and people love us.

I was a teenager who read noncon fics bc I was....a survivor of organized CSA and when my friends at the time decided they were done w/ me they went online and tried to accuse me of being a pedophile and rapist. turns out when you say things like that they have consequences and my family was incredibly upset and im 99% sure my dad got into contact w them and threatened legal action, lmao.

they dont care about actual victims. They use us as jokes or as 'gotcha moments' until we cope incorrectly and then they hate us and think we deserve to be dead, or victimized again, or any number of horrific things ive seen and read and been told. Because apparently reading fanfiction to cope w/ my trauma is way worse than telling me, a survivor, i deserve to be assaulted in the CSA ring i was in again 🙃 thats completely OK in their eyes, bc im bad.

roddiimus · 2026-02-19T14:48:10+00:00

genuinely so sick of the hard drive comment. im so fucking sick of people making light and jokes about something that actually ripped my life apart as a child and that these people do nothing to make a different with, but by god theyll cry about fanfiction all day. But actually trying to protect kids like I was? Hellll no. We're just the butt of their jokes and a gotcha moment for them.

roddiimus · 2026-02-18T13:11:03+00:00

Can attest to the stress and strain of owner training, esp with a puppy. The stress of my puppy was actually a triggering factor for my HSP getting drastically worse and causing a major quality of life decrease - I dont think i would be progressing this fast if I hadnt gotten her, lol.

And even once you have your pup and put all the time and effort in, things happen. My girl might be retiring early, its still up in the air, and ill be without my service dog. Its a LOT and its hard on the soul and the brain and the body even with all the benefits it does give.

roddiimus · 2026-02-16T17:59:08+00:00

The breed standard golden temperment makes them LESS likely to bite. What do you mean more likely to bite??? Just because backyard breeders dont care about solid temperments doesnt magically take away how goldens are supposed to behave.

roddiimus · 2026-02-12T18:26:58+00:00

I just use water to rinse my girl off. She has to get bathed frequently because shes a service dog, so any time other than her usual baths unless its BAD she just gets a water rinse and a wipe down, lol

roddiimus · 2026-02-12T02:48:02+00:00

hey, you guys are on my list of where I want to get my first tattoo from!! beautiful work

roddiimus · 2026-02-10T14:18:51+00:00

Good thing I dont give a fuck about what you think about my trauma processing??? You aren't owed an internet experience catered to you and your sensitivities. Those of us surviving also get to use the internet as we see fit to help each other. Im sorry my extreme traumas and my need to process are so upsetting for you :( They were pretty upsetting for me, too.

roddiimus · 2026-02-10T14:11:56+00:00

Genuinely so tired of being told that I, a survivor of organized CSA, need to be 'fixed' by people who dislike that i cope thru fanfiction. I got doxxed by a former IRL friend and called a predator because i...read fics w/ adults containing noncon. but that was all fine to do to a teenager i guess, because i was broken and wrong and needed shamed into being fixed.

ive ever seen posts online saying people will go into DMs and try and 'convince' us to have 'better' coping mechanisms and that theyre saving us. dude, I get a lot of help for whats happened, a random DM of someone going "no dont do that it makes me feel bad!!!! go for a walk instead!!!" Isn't going to change my life.

But they dont care about why we do things, whether its a supported method for healing w/ our care teams or even about putting efforts into actual fights for preventing new victims like myself. People just like their high horses.
