They are notoriously hard to train.

Plus we are dealing with some serious aggression problems due to his history of abuse and neglect.

Last night he scared the shit out of my wife and I had to be more harsh than usual to get him to submit.
Basically had the leash in one hand to lift his front legs off the ground, then used my body to push him close a wall where he couldn't maneuver.
He weighs 85 lbs and my wife can't handle him like that, so it was a good thing I was nearby when the problem started.

And it all started with a squeaky toy.
WTF???

Sometimes he is psycho and we have no idea why.

Advice is welcome... (we need help)

look at it, more of a trust issue than an anger issue. Remember the beast has been through alot, doesn't know love and caring. From the way you describe very protective of his stuff.....and snappin will happen at this point.

try something....take an old sock tie it in a knot and use that to play with him with it, also where he sleeps give him some old shirts to lay on.....all these have you and ur significant other scent on it....the more he realizes that he's safe and cared for the more he will trust you.....dog treats also work as an award system to when he's good and stuff.....

hope that helps a bit..

You are right, he has trust issues for sure.
But he's also a bully that is constantly pushing our limits. I think he's trying to figure out where' he fits in the pecking order.
In his previous home they had two little girls (6 & 4) and I have not doubt that he was bullying them -- which was probably the last straw for their mother. (She's the one who took him to the vet to be euthanized.)

bullying is also a trust thing, like you mentioned "at the moment he's trying to figure out where he's at in the family"....from the picture you had previously put up, he has been fixed i'm guessing?

Do you have any other animals in the house?

edit: Do you have a quiet calm household? How many hours a day do you spend with him? Brush him every day? Can you touch/pet him on his ears, around his mouth, stomach, paws without reaction? How is he walking on a leash both long and traffic lead? Explain the squeaky toy incident. Does he guard his food? How is he with basic obedience commands and have you taught him any new ones?

Hard to make out but if you think long and hard enough, you might be able to guess where that is.

I am probably haring off on a tangent, but inside the jaunty red ring, the shadow-shape is like an ape's face ... or perhaps a monkey's. I conclude that GOD Himself wants you to be a mod. I have had the vision given unto me ... but mine is a non-prophet organization, not inclined to do anything long or hard, so you'll want to use contract labor to spread the word.

As for location, beyond "eastern USA" I got nothing.

5am

By 5am i’ve already played a good 30+games of Golf Clash on my iphone waiting for it to get light out.

Back in the days when i used to garden indoors, i’d get up at like 3:30 every morning to garden. I go to bed at like 9, or more like pass out by 9pm. Definitely not a night owl

Yeah, power was finally back on around 8pm last night.
The night before, the fucking generator starting acting up. Would shut off after 5 min of running. We kept trying. I was kinda bumbed. All it meant was i had no fan. Gotta have a fan to sleep :-(


We read the manual, and i googled a bunch of shit. Turns out it was a little low on oil. Lmao

The generator was just protecting itself from self destruction. We ran parts of 3 houses with extension cords on Guam after typhoon. Every morning we checked the oil and gas, had a schedule set up and we rotated days to fire the gen. up. Had to fire it up for coffee in the mornings. Edit, M in law has power now also. They got it back fri afternoon.

So, the shit i read online that night, while not sleeping because i had no fan lol. A bad review was of that sensor that shuts it down because of low oil being bad. I thought that was probably it. I mean, it had max oil when first fired up not that long ago.

We fucked with it in the morning, same thing. Kept happening. I was working on the building when rudy came up to me and said, dude! It’s super low on oil. I laughed and said, thats it! Problem fixed.

I sware to god i checked the oil in the morning but that was after it was running. After chilling for a while it finally showed it was really low.

I have no idea how those little motors eat oil, but they do.
