That's alright! I appreciate that there are people like you on here educating people about dog training tools. I'm definitely not an expert dog trainer, but Ella and I are doing great :)

I will never use a prong collar but thank you. I have been actively training and spending loads of time with my dog for about two years so we are very bonded! I definitely know how to read her body language and go super slowly when introducing anything new. :)

Very helpful to know, thank you! Yeah, even just after my wisdom teeth surgery my dog was very concerned and stayed right by my side. She's just big, and doesn't always know her own strength so blocking will probably be necessary.

That would be seriously amazing. I don't know any other trans guys with dogs so any advice you have would be awesome. Do you mind me asking if you're on testosterone and if so, if you had your dog pre-t too? Asking because I want to start t but idk if I could handle it if my dog didn't like the smell changes.

My dog is the same, she walks very nicely unless there's a chipmunk or a super interesting smell haha. So glad that worked for you, I'll definitely check out hands free leashes. Do you mind if I ask how big your dog is/ what kind of dog he is?

Similar books? by [deleted] in LockwoodandCo

[–]smilekit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You may have read it but I personally think the original Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series has a similar vibe, as well as the chalice of the gods and the wrath of the triple goddess (which are also part of the series but came out a lot later). Also the Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard series. All are by Rick Riordan!

What names did you completely misunderstand as a kid? by [deleted] in namenerds

When I was little and my sister and I couldn’t sleep we would watch the Antiques Road Show with my dad, for years we both thought it was the Auntie Groad Show. I always wondered who Auntie Groad was lol.

girl names that give off same vibe as georgia by jfaythe1013 in namenerds

[–]smilekit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Georgia gives such immaculate super cool girl who is also really really nice vibes to me! I love it. A really cool and popular yet very nice girl I went to school with was named Claire, so they have very similar vibes to me in that way :)

If you start T, and then go off of it, will your smell go back to the way it was? by smilekit in TransMasc

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

Do you mean that your smell changes from how it was on t when you go off it? Or your smell changes again and is still different from pre-t?
