Attention whore dog/horse abuser will not leave even though everyone hates him. He thinks its okay to beat his dog because the dog embarassed him for his own training failures.

>traditional spay/neuter
Bad for any dog that will grow to be above 20lbs (higher risk of CCL tears and they end up more "leggy" since growth plates close later - this is bad since the dog's frame is designed for a certain size. Similar to all the joint problems fat dogs have). Less risk for tiny dogs, but they still benefit from having a normal hormonal profile during adolescence. Neutering after the age of 2 is a pretty good practice with minimal downsides aside from giant breeds. Spaying is higher risk (any spay can lead to incontinence at any time, the surgery is more invasive, OSS is also more invasive because every trace of the uterus must be removed), but generally after a couple heat cycles it's fine. No, your pet doesn't "deserve" its endocrine system and you aren't "robbing" it of anything if you responsibly desex in their adulthood. If you've had to live with two intact dogs of the opposite gender you know how the coom takes over their brains. Although an intact male is way easier to care for than an intact female.

>>5130853
>No, your pet doesn't "deserve" its endocrine system and you aren't "robbing" it of anything if you responsibly desex in their adulthood.
So you'd be fine castrating your children, right? It's not like they're losing anything.

>>5130899
I've loved my dogs like they were my own children. But, they're not humans, and there is no evidence that a neutered dog is inherently unfulfilled. Unlike if you beat or choke your dogs.
Now there are bullshit reasons like doing it to avoid testicular cancer in males, or doing it because you are too lazy to contain your dog from roaming (plenty of dogs are escape artists, nuts or not)...

Need an advice with Lymphedema (swollen front leg) in a 14 year old labrador. It's pretty bad. She's got this thing called Cushing’s disease, which I think caused muscle atrophy, or maybe that's due to old age, but her hind legs are pretty much just bones. She's been relying on her front legs for walking for about a year or so now, but recently she started limping in one of her front legs, and then later it swole up, and I found out from the vet she has Lymphedema. Now she can barely walk and is in constant pain and anxiety. She always tries to get up and walk somewhere, except she normally can't get up by herself anymore, and the strain she puts on her swollen leg from trying to get up or from walking causes her a lot of pain, so she'll whimper and whine until I give her painkillers (some meds vet prescribed for arthritis pain). The painkillers are usually not enough because she still remains anxious and restless, so I give her some some meds to calm her down (gabapentin). That's normally enough to last her through the day, but it seems to be getting worse each day. The question I have - is it time to put her down? Maybe someone has experience with similar cases. If I could figure out how to ease her pain and anxiety, I think she'd at least last through the summer. If not for this swollen leg she'd still be relatively fine despite everything. She's got strong appetite and lots of energy. Then again, maybe if it wasn't this thing, it would be something else, I suppose. She's got tumors all over, probably some kind of cancer too. Maybe a tumor in the brain as well. She got really dumb one day, about two years ago, and never recovered. Her personality changed 180 and from that point she didn't care about anything other than going for walks and eating, but otherwise she seemed content and happy. I figured she's got dementia, but vet couldn't really give me a clear answer without brain scan.

>>5130907
I had a dog who everyday I would have to clean them in a pile of their own filth because the lower half of their body stopped working, he also lost hearing in both ears, and was half bind. One day I saw them like that, same as I did every day, and realized how terrible his condition truly was. Chemo or losing limbs isn't something you can "inform" a dog before it happens. If you do decide to put her to sleep, there are plenty of vets that will do euthanasia as a house call, and so their final moments will be in the home that they always knew.

>>5130900
>there is no evidence that a neutered dog is inherently unfulfilled
Of course there isn't. Neutering removes the desire in the first place so there's nothing to be unfulfilled about.
I don't want to exaggerate because I agree a spayed/neutered dog isn't neccesarily unhappier than an intact one. The issue is that aside from potential medical reasons, it's not your choice to make, especially for your own convenience. I assure you that if a dog could choose between having sexual desires and not, just like any human, they would choose the former. In fact, a dog that's had sex before neutering will still show sexual tendencies afterwards becasue their brain already made the connection that "this is nice", even without the chemical motivation.

>>5130899
>Really doesn't want to remove their sexual organs

And it's done. Drove her to a 24/7 clinic because she was screaming all night. As soon as I made the call, literal and figurative, she immediately got quiet and didn't make a single peep until it was over. I couldn't even touch her shoulder or neck area before without her screaming and trashing in pain, but she was completely calm the entire time as I lifted her ans carried her. It's like she knew and maybe the screaming was her telling me to get it over with. Man, what a dog and awesome 14 years together. What a blessing. I already miss her so much.

There's literally zero benefit to castration, other than you can't get testicular cancer if you don't have balls. It massively increases the incidence of severe untreatable cancers like haemangiosarcoma, causes behavioural problems, joint and bone issues, and if you have a large dog it's a guaranteed CCL rupture, among much more issues.

The same applies to spaying, although it may reduce incidence of pyometra, but if you don't have the expensive laparoscopic ovarectomy, they just do a fucking Mortal Kombat finisher on the dog and pull the whole reproductive tract out, leading to likely urinary incontinence and other problems

Also neutering is the neutral term, it's either "neutering" or "spaying/castration", which I think people have been brainwashed into euphemising "castration" to hide from what's really happening (as spaying somehow doesn't conjure up the same images of chopping parts off your dog - despite being more "gory")

>>5131874
Wow, he looks so healthy too. Nothing like my girl who was all bones and skin by the end, with lots of gray hair everywhere. It's an odd coincidence that both of our dogs were 14 and still fine 4 weeks ago. In our case, she started limping 3 weeks ago. I didn't think much of it, which was dumb in retrospect. She was better some days, worse during others. It seemed like a temporary injury she'd recover from. Then I noticed her limping front leg got swollen and immediately took her to the vet, who said she likely has lymphedema. Perhaps I misunderstood her, but I was under the impression that we had more time, and that with meds and lots of rest she'd at least last through the summer, but it all completely spiraled out in just one week. She looked so haggard and tired by the end of it. I probably should have let go of her sooner. Her last week was nothing but stress and pain. She could barely even hold her eyes open. She was miserable, but I just couldn't give up on her. I thought maybe there was still something I could do for her.

I love ACDs so much

Have a dog with osteosarcoma.
Can anyone tell me when it's a good time to put her down? The leg is already twice as wide as the other, and she won't put weight on it half the time, and this is with pain meds, but she still seems happy, tries to play fetch, has an appetite and sleeps well. Just hard to say goodbye.
Without the meds she goes away to the corner of the house and is a good indicator she didn't take them / left them in bowl. I make sure that doesn't happen now, but I'm on borrowed time I know.

How do I handle this situation?

There are times when work needs me to come in unexpectedly.

The dog (5 years old) refuses to go into the cage and gets violent when I try to get him in. He tries to bite me when he has to go into the cage. We try to trap him into the cage but the process can sometimes take 5 minutes and it can sometimes take close to an hour. We have a mask for him to stop bites but he knows how to escape it.

My mom needs to go to work too. My mom then becomes a factor when this situation happens. She will not allow the dog to stay home alone. She thinks he will destroy the house in retaliation and she is probably right. My mom refuses to leave him in the yard all day also. She thinks he will destroy the yard. This eventually ends up in a large personal argument.

I do not have any friends who can help.

So far, the only non-drastic solutions I can think of are:

1) Create a play pen essentially for the dog. Get some kind of fencing to keep him in. Put a sheet down on the floor in case he has to go to the bathroom.

2) Dog day care. A possibility, but it's not a last minute thing.

3) My dog is also afraid of the basement (he only went down there one time ever). There's mostly just junk down there. It may be a good place for him. But, he will get violent if we try to take him down there and destruction is also a concern.

4) Going to work everyday. It's doable but requires waking up earlier and spending more money each day to do this.

Any thoughts?

>>5132090
Start by actually training your dog. Your dog should not be violent or disobedient.

I don't know what to do about my dog's allergies. Treatment is expensive as fuck, so I can't keep her. And I don't think I can rehome her because no sane person is going to take a mediocre money sink pit mutt. Should I euthanize her or is there some option I'm not thinking of?

>>5132090
What I do is:
I have never put my dog in a cage. Ever. I take them on a walk, pat their head, and tell them I’ll be back.

The shit you did created strong associations between you leaving and your dog being forced into a tiny cage. You abused an animal. Now you get to live with the consequences. Faggot. Here’s a tip for next time: you are not the master or the alpha male. only another dog can be. you are your dogs companion. act like it.

You now have a traumatized animal that will need months of help.

If any professional trainer wants you to punish and “break down” (or in newspeak, correct) your dog going forward flip them the bird and leave because that WILL make a dog who will one day bite a stranger during an unpredictable, unpreventable (by then) anxiety attack.

The fact is, you might not be able to care for that dot anymore. You seriously fucked up. You abused that dog horribly and they might never act right for you again.

>>5132090
CRATE TRAINING MEANS TEACHING A DOG TO WILLINGLY RELAX IN A DOGHOUSE NOT VIOLENTLY FORCING THEM INTO A TINY BOX AND SHUTTING THE DOOR WHILE STRUGGLING AND SCREAMING OVER IT

MY DOG LIKES TO BE IN HIS CRATE. JUST NOT OUTSIDE OF HIS ROUTINE.

>>5132190
All dogs can if they are raised and trained correctly.

>>5132192
Your dog likes his crate when he can go in it. Not when he is forced into it by a retard fighting for dominance like an ape. When you fought you already caused that dog trauma. If you continue down this forceful path you are putting anyone who puts their hands near your dog in danger. Be prepared to give up, rehome with an old retired lady who has the patience, and never own a dog again. Because boomer wisdom like “never look at or go near a strange dog” won’t save your dog from being put down… the law only allows for attacking people who are in the commission of a crime.

If you fought your dog and pushed it so far they fought back you have no idea how badly you have fucked up. That dog is already a liability now. One you might not be able to fix on your own while spending 10 hours away from home for five days a week.

>>5131249

Does anyone else get the dreaded "this is your dog and not mine?" line when a dog acts up?

>>5132189
I have family who has dogs: two in particular at first, then two more upon marriage.
The first two are big dogs, the second two are small dogs.
The big dogs spend maybe 15-20 hours a day in their cages. One of them will fight one of the smaller dogs (english pit) to the death if they meet, for reference. So they have to be carefully managed to not run into each other.
Anyway. If left alone outside, they WILL tear up the yard, if left alone inside they WILL tear up the house. I know they're untrained but the people are boomers so it's expected.
None of this is surprising, the only reason I wanted to tell the story is that despite being frequently locked in their cage, when their outside time is over and the garage door opens (A/C garage, don't worry), they run back inside without any prompting or wrangling.

If your dog is violently resisting the cage, you did something wrong and need to expend much effort in correcting it, or, being charitable, he is simply not a cage-bound dog and there's nothing you can do. Your best options are to find another way beyond the cage.

>>5132368

>>5132444
A lot of people don't have/devote the time required to properly take care of a dog or put the work in at the beginning to make them a good dog. It's a lot at first, but upkeep is pretty minimal in my experience.

Let them lick the toothpaste first and then eventually work your way up to wiping their front teeth with a paper towel, then the back teeth, then use a finger brush, and finally use a toothbrush. It’s hard for adult dogs who weren’t conditioned as puppies to comfortably tolerate.

I’ve been saving up to have my dog neutered, but now I'm having second thoughts. Is it a good idea to neuter a dog? I understand that it reduces the risk of cancer later on, and I won't deny that I'd appreciate it if the surgery made him more manageable and calm. However, I can’t help but feel guilty.

>>5132732
Neutering doesn't improve behavior. You probably shouldn't do it if you feel guilty.

>>5132735
I'll have to think it over carefully. Our previous pet developed tumors, and the vet said she would have been less likely to develop them if she had been spayed. I don't want our new dog to suffer the same fate, but I need to do more research first.

>>5132732
>it reduces the risk of cancer
It reduces the risk of testicular and prostate cancers but increases the risk of others. I think mast cell and hemangiosarcoma but I can't remember. Neutering also increases the risk of joint problems.

>more manageable and calm
If anything, neutering will make him worse. Testosterone reduces anxiety.

Once upon a time, every dog looked like a husky. And then a few looked like greyhounds. And then a few looked like mastiffs. And then a few looked like maltese. And then a few looked like beagles.

My Corgi is an insane herding dog but a sweet boy. Not like the lazy internet Corgi. He also was the runt of the litter. He's 14 months old now and only 23 pounds soaking wet.
My Rott mix is so sweet, she never ever barks unless someone is on my property where she knows they shouldn't be, goes double for animal intruders. I didn't know she could bark at all for the first two months I had her. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body....unless you are a racoon or opossum. She lets my wild Corgi beat her up and is always super gentle. She's one of the best dogs I have ever had and when I found her she was literally starving to death in the deep woods, origins unknown. I've only heard good things from other Rottweiler owners. I suspect she's either mixed with Lab or German Shepard or even a "not true to type" Rottweiler that was abandoned in the woods for not looking right.

>CIA and Bane
I wish, those are funny names. If so the Corgi would be Bane and CIA for the Rottweiler. I actually made some funny AI generated memes with glowing Corgi and it says "C.I.A" on it. But Here is another pic of my big girl instead. Sorry this is from a trail cam, hence low rez.

LAST HINT:
Despite one being male and one female, both my dogs have BOY NAMES, one word, again from a famous actually good Christopher Nolan film.

i'm hearthbroken /an/ my spaniel has been put to sleep at only 3 and half years old. she struggled with epilepsy and would go into clusters of seizures and while pills kept them from happening months apart at a time they got more and more frequent this year. she had been staying with the vet since sunday to monitor but it got so bad she was having a seizure every time she woke up from sedation. it was likely she had a brain lesion but confirmation let alone treatment was far too expensive for me to chase and i feel terrible. i grew up with other spaniels and they lived into their teens so seeing her go so young feels so wrong.

step in and monitor the puppy at all times. even a pitbull shouldn't maul dogs it was raised with, but acknowledge that it's the equivalent of raising a greyhound puppy and gerbil together, you never know when instinct will take over.
given she has two tiny dogs, she probably cannot handle a fully grown pitbull either.

Biscuit officially has chondrodysplasia from his dad's Shih Tzu side, which is why he's ~15kg but has little chicken drumstick legs. His favourite thing to do is launch himself off the sofa like fucking Superman, so I'm gearing up now for the long-term arthritis.

Should I get pet insurance now before he hits a year?

>>5134752
>Should I get pet insurance now before he hits a year?
Yeah, you want to get it before complications (like arthritis) are considered a "pre-existing" condition.

>>5134752
Pet insurance is a scam. Consider the following and if it would be better to just save cash and/or get Care Credit to pay off the future surgery over several months interest free. Then you always risk getting fucked over when you need the insurance and they deny you for some technicality. You can put that money into an account that makes a small amount of interest, or in gold/silver, and even more risky Bitcoin. But that would make you money while you save up for future vet care. The risk V. reward of pet insurance is not worth it in my opinion
>From Google:
A full coverage Accident & Illness policy averages about ($60) to ($87) per month for a dog. Over an 8 to 10-year span, you can expect to pay roughly ($5,700) to ($10,400) in premiums. In comparison, severe orthopedic surgeries (like joint replacements) typically cost between ($3,500) and ($10,000) per joint

While exact industry-wide denial rates are not publicly tracked by government regulators, consumer data reveals that nearly half of pet owners (48%) report having a claim denied at least once. When it comes specifically to expensive orthopedic or genetic surgeries, the denial rate is significantly higher if the policy was purchased later in the dog's life.

>>5135020
The only time you should ever consider adopting is if you're too poor, cheap, or stupid to take proper care of a decent dog. Even then, if you're conscientious enough to ask, you're probably worthy of a purebred shelter dog at least. 9/10 mutts are pit crosses, so you're looking at skin problems and latent explosive aggression.

I have 3 currently in a roundabout way 2 boys , 1 girl. The girl is the instigator of most of the barking at other dogs when we walk. Its actually annoying as fuck. Any tips to stop? Because neither of the boys will start on other dogs or people but she does no matter what dog it is.

Its the only thing I get worried about walking because usually I just want to totally relax but you kinda have to keep your head on a swivel.

Do you know if there are any situations where she doesn't bark at a dog while walking? Say the dog is on the other side of a pond, will she bark? She does manage to share her home with two dogs of the opposite different sex (amicably, I'm assuming).
You could also see if it's a group walk thing, say you are her are walking alone instead of as a pack, perhaps she barks less?

>>5135358
>barks less 1 on 1 walking.
However still maybe too sensitive for comfort for instance she ran up to a golden retriever when we let her off in a huge park and she darted for it and the retriever just sliced an inch of skin open and I apologised to the owner and ran to the pharmacy to sterilise our idiot bitch and patch her up. My gf was angry at the golden owner and I had to stop her and be like, look, it's our fault, our dog made the faux pa. I think she might give in to her crocodile tears too much.

>she won't go for a dog on the other side of a pond or if it seems she can't easily get there

>she is fully amicable with the other 2 boys yes yet as the months have gone on she can get a little protective over treats, bones and chicken legs.

Separate walls would be great but it takes so much time. Are there and fast ways to calm or distract a dog fast from another ? Fucking bitches man.

That's good. Means you're in workable territory. You want to find a way to give her food rewards while acknowledging other dogs, so she learns that other dogs are nothing to bark at or be afraid of, and that calmly looking at them while walking away is good. You don't want to use harsh methods in this situation since she could easily start escalating to pulling your arm off and charging other dogs or starting dog fights.
>Are there and fast ways to calm or distract a dog fast from another
Bring her favorite foods, toys, anything positive to distract her, and let her have more off-leash time with your other two dogs or you as play time. The goal is for her to keep her attention on you or your other dogs.

I have a pug and he's a velcro dog that just follows everywhere you go right behind you
And so I've decided to get a duckling to imprint on him because I think that'll just be the funniest thing if he's following and being followed by the duck

How are your dogs with other little animals? Pug doesn't really chase critters but I am a little worried he'll play too rough with it

>>5135448
We didn't put men on the moon by fretting over the possibility that a duck might get maimed. You've got the vision, make it happen.

>>5135448
Ducks need at least 3 in a small flock to feel normal and be happy. A single duck alone will be sad and maladaptive. I doubt a pug will be able to maul a duck because of it's deformed jaw and mouth. A full grown duck will be taller and faster than your pug. If you have the space 3-4 ducks of the proper domestic breed will give you as many tasty eggs as a chicken would and they are higher in protein than a chicken egg.

You got lucky, Husky love to eat chicken I think. My Good Girl(not real name) was getting bullied by a young rooster and she snapped it like Thanos. I keep them separate but the chickens always escape and my corgi gets to herd them up as part of his dog job. To be fair this rooster was always trying to fight me too. For some reason he thought trying to fight a 75 pound killing machine was a good idea. She's super gentle with my little dog and was always super gentle with the farm cat.....but opossums, raccoons, unknown cats, and asshole roosters....well it doesn't end well for them.

It's bizarre that unscented stuff is harder to find and more expensive than scented. How can you charge more for fewer ingredients?

>>5137107
Economies of scale, sadly.
Soap is really easy to make if you aren't retarded. A hot process pure tallow soap grated and mixed with sodium carbonate works quite well as a laundry detergent and costs very little to make.
Vinegar works well as a light duty cleaner for around the house.
It's pretty much as easy to make bar soap as it is liquid, so you could make liquid soap for dishwashing if you wanted, but I bet the tallow bar would be fine if you used it on a sponge.

>>5137165
I'm pretty sure it's grass. She had (milder) symptoms towards the end of last summer, went almost fully into remission during winter, and it got bad again as soon as the grass started really growing. Plus the redness always starts on the backs of her thighs where I think she picks up pollen from the ground when she squats to pee.

She's eating the same food I've been feeding her since I got her last year. She sleeps on my bed, which is covered with a sheet that I've been washing weekly. Same for the couch. I wash her stuff in bleach with hypoallergenic detergent. I wipe her down with hypoallergenic baby wipes when she comes in from outside.

It's not fleas or mites. I found nothing with a flea comb before I took her to the vet and now she's on Bravecto. The vet wrote her a prescription for Apoquel but that shit's $200. Every single alternative is like $100 a month too. Steroids put her into remission for a few weeks and they're reasonably priced, but they're terrible for long term use. I've had her on everything that's possibly effective and affordable for probably a couple of months now: fish oil, coconut oil, cetirizine, and chlorpheniramine. That stack wasn't enough to clear her up, but I was hoping that it would be enough to prevent another flare up once she was already clear, but that wasn't the case.

My real question is, are there decent people who would take her and spend the money to treat this shit? And are there enough of those people around that it's worth trying to find them? I've got a light dusting of autism so it's really hard for me to imagine rational people who don't think like I do. Like, I know I could find Mexicans who would take her, but they'd do a worse job taking care of her than I'm doing. And I know there are pit freaks who are used to blowing tons of money on allergy meds, but I don't want her getting mauled by a pittier pit, or being treated like she's harmless and mauling something else.

What's the quickest way to kill a pit if it latches on, preferably with it doing as little damage as possible?

Sister's boyfriend has this mutt over for a few days, without him being here. It's already barking at people coming in and out of the door that's it's been introduced to. Trust it about as far as I can throw it.

Do racing dogs understand that they should try to get to the end first? Or are they just running in a pack after the prey, and competition is an illusion we project on them?

>>5137365
By not being a fear mongering pussy

>>5137414
Hard disagree. You should be afraid of a stranger's pit bull just being plopped into your house. You'd be retarded not to. In fact, you should be afraid of pit bulls always. The whole point of the dog is that it's REALLY good at killing things, and if it just so happens to be in the wrong (right?)mood, it will do its best to kill whatever it sees fit to.

No, it's people like you why the dog has such a bad reputation. "Oh, he's just a big baby! He's never done anything like that. You don't need to worry." Meanwhile, years down the line "I can't believe it. He never showed any sign of aggression before." Bam dead baby, dead neighbor, dead dog, dead father, dead whatever.

These are bred to be killing machines, and they should be treated as such. They need owners who can handle, control, and maintain them. The second anyone forgets what they are is what allows retarded shit that could have been avoided to happen.

Had to put our dog down yesterday.
Feels bad man.
The house is just... so empty. And feels empty.
Like, even when she would be laying down / sleeping for hours it didn't feel like this.
I never let her into my room so the immediate vicinity should be the same. But it's not.

If I forcefully delude myself into thinking she's laying on the other side of the door it's fine for a few seconds, until brain goes "but...".
Just thinking about even leaving the room is super depressing, knowing that when I open the door I will be met with silence instead of the sound of overgrown nails scurrying on the hard surface to meet me by the door and beg for attention or to be taken outside or whatever.

Eventually you won't need the long line. Then you practice when you let him out to piss. When you're ready for him to come in, you call and reward when he comes.

I've read that consistent rewards get boring, so don't give him a treat every time after he gets the hang of it. A pat on the head and a "good boy" most of the time, and a handful of treats (or whatever's high value for him) every once in a while. Basically you're trying to get him addicted to gambling, but instead of pulling the lever on a slot machine, he's coming when you call.

I'm going try pheromones. And I saw online some anti anxiety wrap around the head it's part of anti anxiety thunder products.

>>5138560
If it works then great, but it’s best to address the root of why your dog won’t let you handle their face

>>5138562
My dog has never really liked having their face touched, you're right though.

>>5138532
Spoon + peanut butter to distract them.

>>5138550
I don't really have the space for stairs, but I am fine with picking him up and carrying him. It's mostly just a preventative measure because I saw something about how animals should be discouraged from jumping up on things pass a certain age. He's a lab mix and around 70lbs. I think.

Well /dog/ .... you have failed to guess the names of my two super cute and spoiled dogs. Despite many great hints and some actual good guesses. Maybe we will try again some other time, but you all suck at this. kek

>>5138709
That's 4 dogs, dummy.

>>5132512
There is no such thing as positive only training, and anyone who says so is willfully misleading or doesn't actually understand operant conditioning

>>5132732
It increases all cancer incidence (especially haemangiosarcoma which is brutal and uncurable) except the obvious; testicular
It tends to cause behavioural issues if the dog is already well adjusted, as they go from confident and stable to neurotic and fearful
It causes problems with bones and tendons

The only reason to do it is if you absolutely must keep two opposite sex dogs unattended for long periods of time

>>5132750
It actually increases the risk of prostate cancers too

>>5133108
They made me do it by law, and weeks later I got testicular torsion. I deserved it, cosmic punishment, but I wasn't going to gamble my dog's life either

For anyone who's had to put a dog down, how do you cope with it afterwards?
Specifically, it feels like we killed her. I mean, technically we did.
Was this really a better option than just giving them pain meds until they die naturally?
Osteosarcoma btw, tl:dr; aggressive bone cancer. By the end her paw was swollen up (even though the originating cancer point was her leg).

>>5138268
Ditto on it being the family's dog and not mine.
That's why I didn't say anything about the euthanasia, it wasn't my choice to make.
The line about the muzzle above is even more nonsense with that in mind. Had I not helped, the vet assistant would have done it. I thought that being the one to hold her would cause her less distress. But putting the muzzle on her to get the anesthesia still haunts me. The struggling pretty clearly felt like her saying she didn't want it.

Brought home a new puppy a month ago. My old dog runs away when she sees him and hides when he’s trying to play chase. Then she will snap at the air if he keeps going. I know I should teach my puppy to be calm and I still have them separated but someone tell me it gets better from here. I’m not sure how to get my old girl to come around to the new kid, she’s fine when I hold him around her but as soon as he’s on the floor she runs away.

German shepherds are the huskies of pitbulls

>>5138958
>t. Never seen a long haired pitbull

SAD.

>>5138721
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3629191/
the majority of what you said is absolutely false.

>>5138958
Huskies are the pitbulls of white people.
>90% of them are purchased from Craigslist BYB crackheads
>working breed, bred to pull sleds and then let loose when the musher feels like it, almost never trained AND hard to train
>if it looks like a husky, it's sold as one - most you meet are crossed with GSD, akita, malamute
>majority of their owners can’t handle them
>they have high prey drives and play rough with other dogs (pinning, humping) leading to dog fights
>would kill a chihuahua if it mistakes it for a rabbit
Only difference is huskies can be great dogs when trained and given exercise. Pitbulls will never be good dogs.

>>5138978
Husky x GSD can be pretty cool looking dogs.

Before I adopted my dog, I didn't realize that dogs have vertical ribcages. It's fucking weird. My ribcage is horizontal. My dog's is fucking vertical. What the hell? Shes like a vertical animal. Why not horizontal?

When is it ethical to put my dog down bros? She's pretty old, practically blind and bumping into walls all the time but she's still eating and playing and has an appetite. She's basically abandoned and I got her from a stranger who just left her behind in 2020 so I don't know her exact age but she's at least like 13-16. I don't want to see her go but I don't know when I'm supposed to.

>>5138997
If your dog is merely slowing down, hard of hearing/losing sight, and sleeping all day, no
if your dog has tumors or aggressive cancers/needs limbs amputated, yes

>>5139001
I figured. If she's in pain and seems miserable then time to let her go. But she's still wagging her tail when she's happy so I assume killing her would just be too soon. But I does seem like the time in coming

>>5139009
You could consult your vet if you trust them. They may know better if they're in constant pain or something like that.

>>5139013
My vet said to put her down for my mental state the same day I brought her in just for a checkup. I've never been so mad at a person in my life. Like, fucking what? Suddenly she's a veterinarian AND a therapist?

>>5138976
Wrong

How do I punish a runner? I've been taking care of a family friend's dog for the past six months (too the point where he's become *my* dog) and while being well behaved and friendly, he likes running out virtually every time I even leave just the screen door closed (he has a history of opening that), even when I'm doing something like taking the trash out or taking out the old family dog that we've had for a decade. And when he runs, he RUNS, around the whole neighborhood, and he thinks me chasing after him is a game, one time he ran into a busy street almost getting hit by two cars. I've tried "grounding" him by only allowing him on the lawn for a week, as he likes going on long walks, but that doesn't work. I've tried keeping him out of my room as punishment, as he likes laying near me, but that doesn't work. I need help with this, he ran out yesterday and he got like 3 ticks on him, 2 I found yesterday by running a rag on his fur, and the third I found today on his neck (coincidentally the third that's actually bitten on him in the past 2-3 months)

>>5139076
Looks like a veal cage.

>>5139087
Put up a tall hardware mounted baby gate in front of the exits

Why do they like peanut butter so fucking much?

>>5139168
Why don’t you?

>>5139168
Concentrated fat + protein. They love energy dense foods.

>>5139087
I can't tell if you're trolling or just retarded, so I'm going to suggest that you watch some Peter Caine videos

It's always a joy to watch them play TOW.

Any recs for incontinence? My vet can't do shit and my girl goes through diapers like crazy. I'm so sick of the smell of piss

>>5139251
Those HRT pills from the vet do nothing?

>>5139252
Nope, she pees like crazy. She's pretty old but it's just constant

I just adopted a year-old golden retriever on Sunday. I've never had this breed or a foster this young before. He seems to have really bad separation anxiety, and will start to bark loudly if I leave him alone for even a few minutes at a time. What could I do to help that out? It's not currently a problem, but I can see it being one in the future. I assume it's because he's in an unfamiliar place and I'm the only constant in his life right now, but I don't want it to develop into a bad habit.
He's also been consistently waking me up at around 4am, no matter when I go to bed.

>>5134140
>expecting dogs to not be retarded
lol

I don't think I'm going to get another dog after my girl goes. Taking care of an old, dying dog kind of sucks

>>5139383
