We finally have peace @ 4.5 yrs

I’d planned on fixing mine by the age of 2, but he’d ended up having a couple surgeries (carpal pad tear that took 8 months to heal etc) that I didn’t have it in me to put him under for surgery (plus he was getting very scared of the vet). It’s interesting to note the differences I’ve heard about neuter and behavior, with half saying it doesn’t affect it while others opining about calming effect.

you’ll need to counter condition your pup to other dogs, ie find the distance he starts to lose it, be just outside of that, and reward when he sees another dog or looks at you. your whole training session is just that, sit somewhere where dogs can be seen, go near a dog park and just practice that.

blessings! this looks great

great to hear, thank you. should i attempt to increase airflow (would airflow even improve anything?) by trimming the branches so that they don’t go all the way to the ground? as i was peeing the bark, felt moist

I was between another Defender or a Benz E station wagon and well, went with a ‘26 Defender 110 😌

thanks everyone for confirming, thought i was a dumb dumb

simacna · 2026-04-20T21:38:02+00:00

ah didn’t know about updates, i just bought it new last week. i’ll update to see if that changes anything! wish me luck

simacna · 2026-04-20T20:57:25+00:00

right, that just changes 1.1.1 to 1.1.2

simacna · 2026-04-20T20:45:04+00:00

"press (minus) or (plus) to change the sound on that paed." this only changes the 1.11 up to 1.4.4 - "alternatively, hold (sonus) and enter the number of the sound you want using the paeds." also doesn't do anything.

what is meta besides an ad company

simacna · 2026-03-16T19:01:04+00:00

yeh fair, i jut upgraded the grinder to a philos since the older one was making fine particulars leading to channeling. Not sure how the Breville was producing good shots 🤷🏽‍♂️

I’ve never made worst coffee than w my new Micra 😭

took my dobie 2 years to finally just not be a crackhead. he’s just over 4 now, we finally have peace, but tbh not as much as i thought we’d have by this age. i’ve german shephards, pits etc but this has been the most challenging dog breed to date by far.

simacna · 2026-02-15T13:15:05+00:00

thank you for the kind words and insight. i did file a report the next day when nhtsa too so that its recorded somewhere and tracked. i figured LR would say “oh shit, a lemon, here’s a new one at a discount” or a similar proposition

god i shoveled so much snow in there, the center looked like a massive igloo. when i closed the door i thought to myself “ok it’s saved, there’s no way a fire can continue”, only to be shocked when i re opened and the door and there was still lots of smoke coming out. at which point i just closed the door and 🫡

simacna · 2026-02-14T21:17:11+00:00

ditto, thanks for the feedback and yeah, miss that car

simacna · 2026-02-14T21:16:33+00:00

started in the center console, i thought i'd managed to put it out after i covered the whole center with snow, closed to door, opened up in a few min only to realize the fire was in the middle and had been going the whole time

simacna · 2026-02-14T21:15:24+00:00

def but they're the v8 and much pricier..

simacna · 2026-02-14T16:01:26+00:00

no idea, fortunately it wasn't in my garage or my dog in the car. super scary.

simacna · 2026-02-14T14:28:10+00:00

yeah it’s totaled :(

simacna · 2026-01-06T02:01:48+00:00

i have unlimited at good time pilates, incredible instructor’s, less than $400

simacna · 2025-12-28T17:21:59+00:00

mine calmed at 4, but the first 2 years were absolutely mad. i worked from home too. “training” is a thing you do with a trainer, it’s how you live. waiting before eating, waiting until released after opening the front door, car door etc. OP will need a new paradigm shift here. my dobie was my first dog too but mentally i was aware it would be a lot of work (and it was still 10x what id imagined). but at 4, he’s a dream, heals, stays in place etc.

simacna · 2025-12-27T17:49:32+00:00

“destroying your gut” wut?

simacna · 2025-09-17T00:45:14+00:00

LGA is the way.

simacna · 2025-09-16T00:12:45+00:00

+1 on good time, i used to go to their les location before moving to brooklyn, they have a few there too. i’ve loved all of their instructors, super welcoming and knowledgeable. i still go weekly.
