So I LOVE this! I have actually been pulling away from Finch a bit, because I continue overwhelming myself with the amount of goals I keep ending up with... No matter how many I was able to check off, I still would end most days with 90+ goals....

They took away the goal count 😄 I had actually gotten on specifically to try (again) to consolidate some of my SCAs to make me want to use the app again the way I used to.. I used to dress Renee for bed every night, and the day every day, but over the past couple months have been feeling defeated by ✨️ life ✨️ and she became less of a part of my routine...

This is SUCH a tiny fix to what was likely a non-issue, but thank you devs 🙏 I noticed immediately, and am so excited! I'm still consolidating, but I won't see those defeating numbers at the end of the day (unless I go into my History tab, so for those who do like to see the goal count, it's not gone! Just... not on the dang homescreen anymore!) Thank you devs!!

**Based on group rules, my intention is not to ask for medical help. Moreso behavioral, he's perfectly healthy ofher than mentally... Which.. Relatable. I'm really wanting to know if this is a known Stubborn quality in pits, and how to get around it, if there is a way?**

ETA - The training issues already existed before his neuter, but now more than ever I really need to get him under control. I've been working on "sit" with him for months! I'm open to it being something I'm doing wrong, but the other Dog People around me watch how I handle him and say I'm doing exactly what they did to successfully train their dogs... The added aggression makes the need for training more pressing.

Hey yall, so the DDS dropped a pit/lab in my life, I love him dearly, but ever since he's been neutered I've noticed behavioral problems.. My vet says he's likely still just uncomfortable, but this seems like more than that...

Jake is normally GREAT with people. Loves them. Thinks every human on the planet exists just for him... Now, he targets very specific people who he gets very vocal at, and **does not stop** to a point I've been leaving wherever we are to get him away from The Threat (the last straw, which made me make this post, was him deciding a good friend was The Threat, and I have no idea why but he scared tf out of her and that is NOT ok with me)...

On top of the sudden aggro, he now does not give me any ability to train him. I've tried everything, one of my friends who is a dog trainer is even stumped by him... Before he would at least act like he was trying to learn (ex. Basic things like "sit" or "come here" I have spent literal hours on with him, and he just... doesn't get it.. He's not heavily food NOR play driven, so I'm struggling to find a "rewards system" that works for training him...

Am I wrong to connect his behavior change to his neuter, or is this something else entirely? I'm doing EVERYTHING in my power not to rehome him... Is it an "I'm angry I don't have my balls anymore" type of rebellion?! I have NO idea what his vibe check process is either, on how or why he targets specific people... We were in a room full of close friends yesterday, and he got so aggro towards only **one** of them, to the point I had to take him home..

What am I doing wrong??? I love my dog, I'm just also hitting a wall with him and would love advice or just to know I'm not the only one.. Yes I'm considering a trainer, but those are expensive, and I think if anyone has advice that works for more stubborn dogs that I maybe haven't tried yet... I'm willing to try anything.

TIA!
