It’s cool to see a post that isn’t ‘don’t hurt yourself in the first place!!’ but is actually giving you geniune, helpful advice for recovery and caring for yourself

Before you say yes, get him angry. See him scared, see him wanting, see him sick. Stress changes a person. Find out if he drinks and if he does, get him drunk - you’ll learn more about his sober thoughts. Discover his addictions. See if he puts you in front of them. You can’t change people, baby girl. If they are made one way, it doesn’t just wear off. If you hate how he acts when he’s out of it now, you’re going to hate it much worse eight years down the road. You might love him to bits but it doesn’t change that some people just don’t fit.

I can’t talk about it because if I talk about it that means it matters. If it matters that means it’s real, and if it’s real that means it’s going to hurt.

My mom, talking about how my intact male dog was humping another male at the dog park: “it’s just dominance”

Me, somebody who knows better: “you’ve gotta stop using that word, especially at the park. Dominance theory has been disproved. He’s either really gay or he’s just an over-excited/pushy asshole who fixates on other dogs”

Mom, getting snippy: “dominance has NOT been disproved okay you have to stop saying things just because you read ONE thing online somewhere–”

Me: *sighs in exasperation and walks away because she can’t be convinced that Ceaser Milan is bad or that dogs shouldn’t be eating grains or kibble*

Hey dogblr if you could link me to basically every article you can find regarding the disproval of dominance theory, why CM is a terrible “dog trainer”, and why dogs who hump aren’t just being “dominant” then that would be great. I’m terrible at keeping track of the articles I read. I really oughta bookmark this stuff. But yeah basically my mom challenges me on EVERYTHING I ever say that goes against the dog-raising myths that she grew up with/perpetuates. Every time I say something it’s always “you cab just believe something you read that one time on the internet” and it’s fucking terrible. I’m 22 and she treats any information regarding changing the way I raise my dog as if some uneducated schmuck wrote it and I’ve been tricked into believing it. I used to be a hardcore supporter of CM and even Tia Torres of “pitbulls and parolees” until I took a step back and really researched dog training and other stuff so every time I make a negative remark about them or their methods she gapes like a fish because she can’t comprehend that I dislike them because I learned better. She acts as if I’ve let “crap I read on tumblr” be my only source of information.

Uuggghhhh. Orion isn’t the best-trained dog by any means, and has shitty dog social skills and no I don’t /allow/ him to hump other dogs but he does it anyway and then he’ll fixate on doing it over and over and over again to that dog. It doesn’t matter what I do, either. I’ll put him on leash and get him into a down-stay so he can calm down bit the second I release him he goes straight back to the same dog. Is there even a reason for that aside from “he’s asserting his dominance” because Orion isn’t a “dominant dog” by any means. He’s an asshole, sure, but he doesn’t want to be “in charge”. He’s a 5 year old intact Labrador with shitty social skills. He just is really intent on humping certain dogs, most of which are males (intact or not; it doesn’t matter)

[mephitidae-queen]

I could use some well sourced articles too… My dad has gotten everything he knows about training dogs from an outdated Dogs for Dummies book. He treats me the same as far as my knowledge of animals or anything more advanced than lacing a shoe…

[jankydog]

@why-animals-do-the-thing @naturepunk @pawsitivelypowerful Do any of you have some articles you can link me to? Some good sourced articles, if you can. As many as you can find. I don’t have access to a computer currently otherwise I would attempt to find some myself but I don’t always trust my judgement on what counts as a “proper source of information”

[pawsitivelypowerful]

I’ve found most Cesar Millan followers to be so devoted they rarely budge, but I have at least one or two articles.

Dominance is a word that does exist in behavioral interactions, but nowhere near to the degree that we humans use it. And 99.9% of the time it’s used incorrectly. A dominance refers to an interaction between two animals that dictates who has control over a desired resource.(So two bulls battling over a breeding female would be an example.) Here’s my favorite link for explaining dominance, Sophia Yin was a fantastic individual. She uses Cesar as examples of incorrect uses of the term in here.

And here is another link pertaining to Cesar.
