Here I believe that surgery is called ovary sparing spay and there’s a male version but I forget the name. It’s not super common but is becoming somewhat more popular lately. There aren’t a lot of vets that can do it yet but more are becoming available. The idea, especially with males, is...

Also sorry for all the novels 😂🤣🙈

Exactly!!! And then the poor animal suffers. :( my Bettas has like 10 gallon tanks and planted 😂🤣🙈 I know not everybody can go that big but even like 5 is good. I even think 2 1/2 is too small aha and they need heat too!! I hate when people put them in little tiny bowls or leave them in the cups...

Exactly!!! I’m the same way!!! I always do extensive research before getting any animal! And some I have decided not to get because I know I wouldn’t be able to provide them the proper care or that they weren’t for me or whatever. Some people are just selfish and don’t care about the needs of...

Yeah it’s so sad!!! Shelters and rescues are full of adolescent dogs people gave up because they were no longer a cute little puppy and were suddenly an unruly, untrained big dog. :( And I also see people asking all the time why their 6 month old, 1 year old, whatever dog isn’t perfectly...

Yeah exactly!! I think the key is SMALL shock and very specific situations. And yeah I don’t know why they even have collars that go up so high!!! I can’t imagine any dog ever actually needing that. Even the most stubborn or difficult ones. I think a lot of people probably just leave them on...

So strange!!! And right!? Sometimes I really wish I knew what they were thinking and feeling. Would make it so much easier haha although some dogs I swear understand every word 😂🤣

I think in certain situations like that it’s definitely necessary for her own safety!! I can’t believe people purposely tried to hit her. :( And oh wow that’s terrible!! :( I think a lot depends on how it’s used. It has to be conditioned and trained properly and of course start on the lowest...

This is definitely very strange!!! She seems like a great dog!! But definitely very strange she goes after sleeping dogs like that. Maybe she thought it should be her spot or something? Who knows :confused: I hope you can figure it out!!

Yeah my dad is similar or used to be. Still somewhat is but he’s changed somewhat. He mostly just prefers to spoil them and have no rules whatsoever but then he gets annoyed when they don’t listen. He bought a shock collar for him once when he ran off and we made a lot mistakes with it. :( he...

Oh wow that’s very strange she just does it totally unprovoked and seemingly to sleeping dogs quite a lot? Very odd. I would almost say maybe she’s got some sort of neurological thing going on but since she doesn’t attack you that seems unlikely. I’m glad you’re very on top of it and able to...

Oh and another thought I just had.... is it possible she’s protecting/guarding you when it happens??? Or does she do it when you’re not there? Maybe protecting territory too?? She could be getting protective, another sign of maturity. Or is it random?

😂🤣😂 I’m the same way!! I try to have rules and structure, etc. but they do still get spoiled and lots of toys and love, etc. 😂🤣 my brother & SIL are the same way 😂

Yeah I agree!!! With our last dog I tried to create rules for him and train him, etc. but my dad thought every rule was “mean” and constantly undid my training, let him do whatever he wanted, etc. 🙄 it was very chaotic and confusing for the poor dog. He was a good boy and I was able to get him...

Sounds like you really know what you’re doing and take great care of them!! :love and I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to imply otherwise or anything with my post. Was just trying to think of all possible explanations I could if that makes sense haha since there doesn’t really appear to be another...

Yeah, sadly I think certain breeds are just more prone to dog aggression. :( they can be perfectly great otherwise but it seems like a lot of the bully breeds and/or working breeds like shepherds tend to be more aggressive. And idk what it is about females but they seem to have issues too!! I’ve...

I know you said you spent a lot of time training the dogs and teaching them manners, etc. (which is fantastic cause most people don’t even bother to do that) but are they still being worked and trained? Practicing obedience? Exercising? All these breeds are the type that need a job to do and a...
