Part Of My Soul Is Gone

   If she had tried dog school ... and sometimes they jump when they want to play, that doesn't make them aggressive. Personally, to knock on wood, I have never been attacked by a dog in an aggressive way. Many times I have heard comments like "This dog is bad, yesterday a child / grandmother jumped, it is aggressive, it will bite you", etc. and the next moment they look at me with an open mouth when I squat next to the dog and I meet him, and he reacts quite adequately to me. After a few meetings, when he already knows me and is happy to see me, he starts jumping, pulling on his legs and some cowardly person would immediately say that he will want to bite me, but he is really playing with me, he wants attention. MASSLY people know me dog body language, do not understand when a dog is really bad, and when he jumps to play. There is always a way to learn NOT to jump, because this can be a problem with large breeds - it can just push you to the ground. It's called behavioral correction. There are countless videos on dog re-education on YouTube because of this! And in 90% of cases this is a rude and slimy dog, not an aggressive one. I can't imagine you watching it, sleeping together, and it's bad and it wants to bite you ... no, you just don't understand it. I'm sorry to tell you so directly, it's clear to me that it hurts but ... it's your fault.

   I'm number 1: Search the YouTube channel Zak George's Dog Training Revolution - there are videos on how to get the dog focused, how not to jump, how not to bite, how not to rush to the front door if you find it open and many others.

   If in 4 years you have not been able to raise your dog how to behave properly, it will really be better with the new owners. At least there will be somewhere in the yard to spend his energy. The dog is not a toy, but a living being.

   Number 2 and as you yourself said 1 - the man said he had already left it. I don't think he can get it back. To the author: I understand your pain. I myself have a dove cat dog and I can't imagine one day not having them. I had a cat before them again, he died a few years ago, but I was so used to the cat that I still sometimes cry for him. I advise you to take another pet if you have completely given up on your previous dog. I recommend that you adopt a kitten from the shelter or the street. That way you will save someone's life. I guess it will fill half the space in your heart. I say half because you will never forget your old friend. I wish you success and tell me what you did. Jack The Ripper

   I completely understand how you feel, because I broke up with a kitten in very bad conditions. They lied to me that they would let him in the yard, where there are other cats, that they love and feed them very much. It turned out that they let him in a random yard and when I called to ask if they had seen him, they once said "no" to me and stopped picking up my phone. I was very annoyed and couldn't think of anything but that. I wondered if he would survive, as he had only been seen in an apartment for 5 years. I didn't want anything bad to happen to him, but I also didn't want to live with him anymore, because he didn't give me anything at all, he didn't come to me, he didn't contact, he only yelled - furniture, carpets, sofa. I wanted to take another animal with which to have a connection and affection. I suffered a lot and felt terrible, but I told myself that he was the cause of my condition. I took it with love, I invested money, gave him good and plentiful food, treated him, he was in the heating all winter, I changed the upholstery, and he gave me absolutely nothing, he shunned me, he was self-sufficient. I don't have a good memory of him, he never played with me, he didn't like to be petted, to be picked up, and yet I was attached and I loved him. Now I have taken another kitten and I make a great effort to forget it and not think about it anymore. I tell myself that he just didn't leave me a choice. Your situation is even worse because the dog was aggressive and dangerous. With so many loving and grateful animals, with so many abandoned, hungry, sick, homeless and waiting for a master to save them, why should ungrateful people receive love and care and make us feel so bad? It's not good, it's not worth it. There are a lot of people bruised and maimed, even killed by evil dogs. No one can feel safe around such a beast. Do not regret, but take some kind and devoted animal that will make you happy and you will enjoy it.

   Number 5 has no words to describe what I think of you .... You wanted a toy, not an animal. A pet is mostly a responsibility, you can't expect anything in return. You have made a conscious decision that you want to take care of someone else. The author has some reason, but you have none. And with all your impudence you took another animal. You'll get tired of it tomorrow. One piece of advice - don't make children that they only demand from her and will get on your nerves. As for the author, you were not able to raise an animal either, and obviously this is not for you. But at least you were adequate enough to find him a safe home. One piece of advice to everyone, before you take an animal, think carefully about whether you are ready for it. It's best to talk to someone who has experience and get them to tell you about all the attendant issues, not the good part.

   Author: My dog, after a year, just freaked out, wouldn't let anyone go to bed, go to his food, bit the whole family so hard that we had tooth marks for months. Even his saliva flowed with malice. No matter how much people blame me, I'm sure everyone in my position would kick him out of their home. Only I know what pain and stress I experienced. But I never thought of throwing it away or euthanizing it, so I gave it to good people. Like I said, I tried all sorts of methods to calm him down, it took him a month and it started again. Apparently I spoiled him too much and it's really my fault, but maybe they are his masters. I only realized that a dog is very difficult to look after ... I have never looked at an animal as a toy, but as a member of the family. I'm sorry, but it's obviously meant to have another family,

   Author: Also, my dog ​​was not rude, but aggressive and certainly did not want to play, but to eat. I can't prove it to you, but if you see it, you'll be scared. He lived like a prince with me, I gave him the most delicious and he still bit the hand that fed him. My mother even had a bandage on her arm because she was lying on the bed, which he thought was his alone. The situation is very serious, I do not even know such dogs, not to mention that I never taught him to bite. I don't wish this on anyone and I still miss it a lot.

   №6, I did NOT want a soulless plastic toy to stand where you put it, but a living presence. It is cruel to sacrifice 15 years of my life to live with a being who completely ignores me and makes me feel unbearably bad. I was not born to serve as a slave to a cat. Feelings, as in humans, are mutual, otherwise they are separated. Before judging someone, put on their shoes and hike with them for a while.

   9, however, is not who knows what to watch a cat. 15 sacrificed years of your life, are you serious? Look, getting your dog crazy is a problem. The same thing happened to my friend as to the author, and she suffered a lot. Not to scare the author, but the new owners soon euthanized my friend's dog. I personally had a self-sufficient cat like yours. She chose to live with me and she left on her own. She ran several times, we found her, we forcibly returned her. We didn't find her last time. If she's human, I'm glad she's found her freedom, but she's just a helpless cat. Is there anything worse than being a street animal?

   Number 5, I'm number 6, I've been in exactly the same shoes, so I have every right to judge you. And it's not like humans, to be able to separate and live more alive. Here the cat did not choose you as owner - you did. And hence the responsibility is yours. You have quite consciously decided to dedicate 15 years of your life, no one has done it for you. No matter how you calm your conscience (if you have it), the cat is not guilty of anything. She just didn't live up to your expectations of cuddling. When you see it written that way, do you realize how stupid it sounds. Not at all. Besides, letting a 5-year-old cat live only in an apartment is complete dementia. Unfortunately, if she's still alive, I don't think she'll be long. So if you still have some morals, go and get your kitten. It is clear that you are not becoming a master, but at least look for someone more decent than you (with an apartment) and give it to him. So at least the animal will survive or do you think that it deserves the death penalty for its terrible crime - that it does not hug you ???

   You're not for a big dog. You are soft-spoken, have no authority and do not accept you as a leader. In such a situation, the dog takes on the role because he instinctively knows that there must be a leader. It bites you to correct your behavior. It is dangerous for a large dog to control a person, it can hurt another dog or child at your expense. Trying to keep him risks injuring the innocent. Stick to small breeds. It will still dominate and command you (it's you) but a chihuahua growling and biting is more fun than a Rottweiler growling and biting.
