    Pit bull east/central Texas

    This is Aslan, he will be 2 in April 2024. I'm rehoming him because I'm moving and will not be able to take him with me due to insurance and liability. There is a rehoming fee of $200, he is neutered, with cropped ears, he has basic training and knows his name. He heel walks quite well and...

    Chicken training high prey drive dogs.

    I'll definitely be implementing this on the new farm! I had planned to anyways but it never occured to me that it would help him stay away from the chickens.

    Chicken training high prey drive dogs.

    Okay. I'll try it again, but much higher. When I used it I tested it on myself first and got a really good zap out of it, but when I used it on him he was not affected at all. His pain tolerance is pretty high, he'll get stuck on game trails and completely bloody his nose in blackberry thorns...

    Chicken training high prey drive dogs.

    So, I currently have a 1yo pit bull, he's VERY game and he finds chickens to be the most interesting animal on the farm, even though he's been around them his whole life, and I've always made it clear that he's not even supposed to look at them. He had no interest in the chickens initially...

    Need some advice for ear crop after care

    This! I also kinda pick on them. Never in a mean way, and certainly never to the point that they would feel the need to escape or lash out, but I just get them used to having their noses poked, their toys taken, their tails grabbed, their feet investigated, or their gums massaged, that way...

    Lol, trimming my Cheagle's nails is not for the faint of heart, he will feign a broken leg and scream til the cows come home, I don't even want to know what he'd do to me if I tried to clean his ears😬. I had a much better time clipping Aslan's nails, he mostly wanted to play with the clippers🤣 I...

    Need some advice for ear crop after care

    Oof, no fun. It must be so rewarding in the end to have those tall majestic ears tho😍 A friend of mine didn't stick to it with her Dobe and he has ears that are both clamped down and crooked. The military crop has to be my favorite on a Dobe, they look so stoic and regal. Ohmagawsh the Corsos...

    Need some advice for ear crop after care

    I'm actually so relieved that I won't have to post till they're healed. That tape was right on those raw stitches, and he cried like crazy while I was gently pulling the tape away. I've watched a couple videos on ear correction and it looks like they shape up nicely after they're healed. I'm...

    Need some advice for ear crop after care

    Yeah the cone definitely keeps him from damaging them too bad, especially when he runs off leash, he still rubs the ears in the cone though😬 They have me giving him 25mg of Trazodone and 100mg of Tramadol every six hours to calm him down and ease the pain, but he still can't calm down with his...

    Ugh, my little angel turns into quite the fighter when cleaning time comes around. He really hates the qtip ear canal bit. I think his ears are inflamed, and I think the cone is the worst part of it all. He will shake his head quite violently before I can stop him and it's rubbing his incision...

    Thank you for having me! I'll be sure to show him off, he's a good boy, and he is so much fun 😄

    Need some advice for ear crop after care

    Yeah, the one forum I joined looked like it'd been deserted for quite a while, and posting there scared the crap out of me because quite a few members (and even one or two mods) are against ear cropping, and I already deal with enough shaming irl over having his ears cropped. Dobies on the other...

    Need some advice for ear crop after care

    Will do👍 He really scared me when I was untaping them, I'll be glad to leave them open until they're healed😅 Yeah, the more experienced vet looked at him and said his ears felt as though they would stand just fine. Not sure why he had to be taped up for so long. And it was said that the tape...
