Crate train if you can.
Settles em down to have a home.
Every time you leave us the exact same phrase. Like " be right hack "
When they realize you are it'll reduce anxiety.
Our dog now will kennel up at night when we pray cause she knows it's bedtime. When we ask put our shoes on to leave she kennels up.
Very chill. Never barks. Happy.

Your dog is going to probably be fine, but if it isn't, make sure to blame a baby boomer.

Listen dude, I’m fine. Everything’s fine. Yes, I wrote a post on the internet about how I feel. And I am honest. I do have feelings of self doubt here. Does that mean I’m weeping curled in the fetal position? No. It doesn’t. It’s just another step in the journey. But this is a fricking message board. fricking A I thought proplr would have wanted an honest update
It’s kind of why I’m trolling you a bit. Good luck with pitt mix. I honestly hope it works out. Cheers.

What is the actual injury?
And kind of biting? Is it locking on or is it playful is it food or territory aggressive?

She doesn’t like her crate. I can get her to go in it willingly at times but she has a “frick your” attitude about it most of the time. I have tried to make the crate as enjoyable as possible, but she just doesn’t feel drawn to it
If she’s in biting mode, and she won’t play with any other toy, in the crate she goes to calm down. But then when I let her back out, she often goes back to ignoring everything else to just bite on me. She bit my face earlier because I wasn’t letting her bite my hands.
She will walk up and bring me a toy and the second I touch they toy, she goes back to biting me and ignores the toy.
I’d be more concerned if this was happening outside of play, but outside of play, she’s been very good. Follows me around. Listens to me. Follows commands. Learns new commands. Runs to me and tries to jump in my lap. Very affectionate Excellent job. But it feels like her patience with me during play is running out though as as soon as I stop play when she’s chomping and snapping, she has a tantrum. I’m worried she’ll do that around the wrong person

Every time it snaps at you, beat the shite out of her.
Dominance is an internet meme among humans, but with dogs it is real.

Is it locking on
Yes. Sometimes just a bit playful nibbling but it can ramp up quickly to her just chomping down as hard as she can and consistently breaking the skin.
At first I wondered if territorial. I know she immediately started hiding toys but I worked on that and it seems to have stopped when I moved all her toys to her crate. The most I can put together is she just has too much energy.
I will say, 1. She was going after my legs and feet consistently before and that’s stopped completely. And maybe she isn’t always biting as much. But her tantrums for being told to stop are worse. She will get better, I’m sure. Just venting
She had some sort of injury from when she was a stray. Not too bad but she looked a bit roughed up. Surgery was around that. FWIW, only two weeks left at this point I believe until the vet clears her.

Have you considered getting help for yourself? Or you thought getting a puppy would heal your psych problems?
Posted on 5/25/23 at 11:31 pm to athenslife101
Try beating her.

My personal issues are not related to why I got a dog. That’s handled in more appropriate ways.
I want to spend more time outdoors and be more active and I also want to provide. All of which is being achieved. I just vent sometimes.

Are you still in Chi? Are you Episcopal? Are you near Evanston?

so she’s missing important puppy development time and she can’t exercise as much as she needs to due to the surgery. So I feel like I’m failing her. What if I’m not good enough to get her behavior to improve.
You need to get your meds adjusted.
Relax dude.

This is a problem dogs feed off of your emotions. If you’re anxious you get an anxious dog. Some breeds are prone to being anxious anyways but you need to work on that yourself and the more calm you are around the dog the more the dog will progress.
We have a two year old giant schnauzer rescue from a rescue organization. She was a terror when we got her nine months ago. An 80 lb ball of endless energy. After nine months of working with her and training her she has come a long ways. We still have work to do but she’s turning into a great dog.

It's going to be fine. You said you love her and she will love you back 40 times over. Google how to handle dog behaviors and watch as many videos as you can.
Get some small dog treats and throw one in the back of her crate when you want her to go in there. All of my dogs loved their crates, and it got to the point where I would lock them out of the crates during the day. I used the large airline crates and it was like their own little safe cave.
A dog is the most forgiving being in the universe. Take care of her and love her and train her. Everything will be just fine.
