Wow this sucks

[ItsMe]

so uh, today my stepmom told me that I abuse my dog and we can either give her away or I can hand her over to my stepmom to be trained. My stepmom is a control freak and considers herself to be the resident dog person. I am so mad right now. She has the dog and won't give her to me. I am in a very delicate spot. It will be a cold day in hell before she takes over control of my PITBULL(something she knows nothing about). OMG!!!!!!!!!

[kumhomomma]

how old are you first before I give my 2 scents?

[RoXy]

How could she take your dog?

[LiiL_L0cz]

hahah, yeah how old are u? and..... u abuse ur dog? how???

[ItsMe]

LOL, I'm 26(smh). She took the dog and said she will not let me abuse it anymore(this is simple leash corrections we're talking about), The thing is, I'm on parole so I can't make a big scene about this. She knows I'm vulnerable and that nobody will listen to me, only think that I am abusing the dog. This is crazy, like I don't even know how to deal with this. Shes my dog, but what am I gonna do? Take her by force. LOL, that would add to my problems right now.

[Leon]

Move out and come live with me. I got a free room in my apt lol.

None the less, she cant take your dog and claim BS abuse charges on you, how ridiculous.

[LiiL_L0cz]

Common over, my sanctuary is open to all(as in only all the people i like).

@Jermey, seriously man, move out, i couldn't live with my parents when i was 14, no way now. I cant wait to go back to my place even when i go to visit for the weekend.

[RoXy]

Do you live at home?

If it were me...I'll call the police if she wouldn't give her back. Dogs are property in the eyes of the law. Family or not you can't just come and take someone elses property. JMO

[Phedra]

Does she know anything about ABPT? If she took the dog just because you were doing leash corrections....my guess is she will just give the dog back once she realizes she can't just handle it like a poodle.

I would seriously consider moving out though. (Worst case scenario ->) I would be afraid that if she can't handle the dog like she thinks she can, she might consider it a "bad dog" and try give it away.

[ItsMe]

Well, its kind of funny now. They want to just drop everything and forget it. However, I am not with that. I am in the middle arranging a move. Parole is really complicating this, I can't move for 2 months because of that.
She thinks she knows how to train dogs. She is a very controlling person. I'm doing the training how I think it should be done, but she thinks it should be done differently. She point blank said "You abuse your dog, I'm not going to let you abuse her anymore. You can find her a good home or I can take over training." LOL, I don't do ultimatums and pigs will fly before someone who doesn't know what they're doing takes over training my dog.

[american_pitbull13]

Tell your mom to grow the hell up and whether you are on patrol or not you still have the right to own a dog. Your 26 years old your mom has no say over you or your dog. Take it back and let her call AC is she wants.

[CASH]

Put iching powder in her underware. This should buy enought time till you move and keep her distracted.
A quick leash correction is nothing more then re-focusing the dog. it doesnt hurt them. Tell her to actually do some training, Watching a episode of the dog whisperer doesnt qualify you as a dog trainier.

[infinity]

Watching a episode of the dog whisperer doesnt qualify you as a dog trainier.

Damn it doesnt, Oh well back to the drawingboards for me I guess. LOL
:idk:

[Dansgrizz]

Um may I suggest you take advice from Two of our members who are expert trainers deidrem and George Bailey!!! They train dogs for a living... And KNOW what they are doing. Perhaps you could invite her to this forum and "feed her to the sharks" :D <<< big teeth ;)

[Nizmo357]

another qusetion... idk if its been said before but... who pays the vet bills who pays for dog food, grooming and basic supply's needed, who is the dog registered under? who named him?

that will answer your question right there on who gets the dog. pit bull or not who ever pays for the dog its there dog

[ItsMe]

Its goin alright, movin out of there, in the process. Things are kinda crazy. Got the dog back. No reliable internet right now. More later.

[Dansgrizz]

Right on!! Keep me posted!

[Leon]

Awesome man. Good luck with your move. And glad you got your dog back.

[FloorCandy]

Man since when is it a crime to love your family and live with "your mommy"? If I could tolerate my stepfather, hubby and I would be living there because we love the family, and enjoy being with them, plus then you can only have 1 cable, internet, phone, and various other utilities. If we ever make a ton of money, I hope my family comes and lives with me. As long as all family members are productive, why shouldn't they stick together?

If, like in the OPs case they cant get along, then fine, move out, which I believe is what he's doing.

I went to Walmart with my bro and my mom this weekend, and my mom bought me a pen with lincoln logs in it :-) My mom's the best lol.

Edit: Lol the OT posts went up while I typed.

[smith family kennels]

its not right to call out people on this forum that are trying to make their lives better its like i said before if its none of your business stay out of it. If you cant say something nice than dont say anything at all.

[Leon]

Blaming Jermey and calling him immature because his dog was taken away by the person who owns the house is like blaming a rape victim...well she shouldn't have worn that short skirt..

Okay, got the internet connected at my temporary home. Basically, the issue was, I'm training a big powerful dog, sometimes the methods employed aren't for the soft hearted. Thats where the problem was. Here at this place, there are two other dogs; another bully and a whippet. Thats gonna be a trying task keeping that all in order. I am quickly finding a balance with strict supervision of the dogs in their interactions. Things are going alright...

[Leon]

Good to hear man, glad to know things are coming along nicely. So are you sharing this new place with someone you know? And how are the dogs getting along?

[ItsMe]

This is my Aunts home. The bullies get along really good. The whippet makes me nervous, she has some insecurity issues. I watch her REALLY close even in the supervised interactions.

[kumhomomma]

HI jeremy..hope it works for you

[APBTMOMMY]

Wish for the best for ya...;)

Are you paying anything to stay? or your aunt is letting you stay for free till you find your own place?

[ItsMe]

Well, I don't pay money, I do cook, clean, cut the grass and train her dogs to show my appreciation. At this point in time, its hard for me to get a job. I'm going to school and trying to put some time in between myself and my criminal record. Also,parole prevents me from getting my own place. They want parolees to be financially stable in whatever form that takes. I could get a job, but I'm not sure thats the right choice to make in the long run of things. Basically, my poor choices in life prevented me from being anything close to an adult before. Now, I'm starting to do basic responsible things. I am very fortunate to have the support of a loving family.

[APBTMOMMY]

Well we are here to give you emotional support, and yes, its always nice to have the support of your family, especially when you are trying to better yourself ;)
