    Aw don’t I could literally cry thinking about when I get to see him!!!

    @GreenTea Yoooo
    I don't matter hehe
    You did not just say that! :open_mouth::joy:

    Of course you matter! <3
    If anyone says otherwise, I got a baseball bat ready for them.

    @independent_ Deffoo!
    Like bro, my freedom of speech! :joy::cry:

    @Shaunie That's adorable! He's just announcing his presence to the world! :joy:


    Nah man. Made to feel like I don't matter and lack trust in a lot of people i once trusted at the moment. It's hard.

    Ahh, I'm sorry to hear that. <3
    Regardless of what happens, you do matter. Whatever is going on with your social circle, remember that there's only so much you can do. That you're doing your bit and they're doing theirs. If they're bringing you down to this level, then (easier said than done) let them go. <3

    @Shaunie yes that will make such a difference to him. Especially if it means he’ll get on with other dogs better.

    @GreenTea yeah it’s a radio station, it doesn’t have presenters, news, talking or even that many ads just lots of christmas music lol. I might change it in a bit though but dunno what to

    Yeah I love walking Bella. It’s stress free cause I’m not on guard on every corner we turn like is there a dog she is gunna bite or child or something
    I don’t know if you remember but once he did bite a man’s hand. He was barking at him in the street and the man stupidly put his hand in front of him.

    Have you heard of slip leads? That’s what the trainer is using on him. But it sounds like choking but apparently all professional dog trainers use them

    @Shaunie oh yes I do remember that. I hope the training helps him to be less anxious around people too.

    I feel like I have heard of them, I googled and I think Theo has something similar? We sometimes put him on it in the house when we’ve got visitors (small children or my elderly neighbour mostly) because he behaves on it and will calm down pretty quick when he sees it. He gets excited when his extendable walking lead comes out!

    I guess it depends on the dog like anything else with dogs. We were told when Theo was a puppy that harnesses would irritate his skin under his arms and make him walk funny. Idk how true that is though. I know when I’ve got him on that lead I’m always careful not to let him pull too hard even if it means him nearly taking my arm off to keep some slack on the lead aha. I don’t like when it gets really tight round his neck. Harnesses are bound to be safer for some dogs though probably smaller ones.

    We get so used to having them around. My parents took Theo on their motor home holiday in the summer and I was lost without him for a week.

    Hahaha that reminds me my mum made an account for Theo on Tiktok. She never really got the hang of how to use it but she posted a few cute little videos of him on it and him running around with sticks.

    My dog (rip my boy) was trained in a harness and so where all the other dogs that attended. Told it was safer. I don't agree with choking an animal. Don't think I could ever had a lead that pulls around their neck. It's so dangerous..

    It doesn’t choke them. They end up being very comfortable on them. Used by many professionals

    I don't agree with them. It goes tight around the dogs neck. Too tight and can cause damage.. it's dangerous and in my eyes cruel on the animal. It's said a harness is much safer for dogs that pull because it applys pressure around the body which is less dangerous than causing truama to the neck.
    Just Google harness Vs slip lead
