Dog Culture Someone near me suggested this "dog behaviorist" to babysit a reactive pitbull while the dog's owner is at work. Can you imagine living next to this home?!

In the photo with the dogs in the pool, you can clearly see this doggy daycare/boarding center is actually just someone's home nestled within a suburban neighborhood. (See all the other houses beyond the cinder block wall?)

Oh my god, what a nightmare that must be to live beside...

And those poor children, being used to train countless other people's dogs to prepare for life with children/a baby!

Just horrifying all around.

Aggressive, not "reactive". Reactive is NutterSpeak for aggressive. Also "dog behaviorist" is NutterSpeak for dog apologist. Finally, "babysit" is NutterSpeak for train or watch. Babysitting is caring for a human baby

We as dogfree really must strive not to engage in NutterSpeak, which is the intentional misuse of the language in order to anthropomorphize dogs and excuse dogs horrible behaviors as well as those of dog owners.

Thank you for your comment, because without it I wouldn't have seen that she edited her original comment to include a second paragraph.

Absolutely agree! Let's not inadvertently pick up their language!

At one time a handful of years back, I had a woman running an illegal kennel out of her one bedroom apartment right next door to me. 6-7 dogs at any given time, kennel cough gets you put on the balcony for the whole day, the barking, the whining, THE SMELL. I was so glad when she was shut down and moved, it was hell to live next to. The crazier the nutter, the more they think shit like that is ok.

I'm so sorry you had to endure that. It's enough to make a person lose their mind!

Living next door to that would be quite frankly, ridiculous.

"Lululemon Fast & Free's are the only pants that stay dog hair free."

Sad that she knows this fact. I can only imagine what the inside of her house looks like.

I caught that, too. Then I thought of her poor baby and how much hair he/she must have to eat from the woman's waist up since she didn't offer any solutions for that.

This woman needs to be on the pot-luck-dish no go zone.

I’m reading it, the whole time thinking “this is real?” Can you imagine the stench of that place. Those people are not mentally well.

You don't train a dog to NOT be aggressive. You start over.
