I’m seeing a lot of site issues on this sub today, it’s working completely fine for me. I’ve been watching all day. Is it just certain sites that are down?

I’m looking for some advice because we’re really struggling with our dog’s behaviour. We’ve had her for just over 2 years, since she was a puppy,

She’s almost 3 years old and is our first dog. We took her in unexpectedly as a favour to a family friend, so we have had very little experience with dogs. She’s always had a feisty personality, but it was much easier to manage when she was smaller. Now that she’s bigger, she’s much harder to control and calm down. She’s becoming more aggressive on a daily basis and we don’t know how to correct her.

She’s extremely possessive over my brother. But she also won’t let other family members sit next to each other, stand close to each other, tap each other, hug, or even have normal physical contact without reacting. The other day my dad simply walked past me without even touching me, and she still lunged at me ready to attack. I don’t know if it’s because she’s possessive over everyone, or she thinks touching = hurting eachother.

She also seems to resource guard a lot of toys and other items. For example, she was playing with a toy that had stuffing coming out, so we tried to take it away because we didn’t want her swallowing it. As soon as we reached for it, she attacked us.
She’s also extremely loud and vocal. She reacts to the smallest sounds, hates children, and will lunge at them if she gets the chance. She lunges at people during walks. She’s fine when it’s empty, but doesn’t like people coming into her space. She’s also constantly eating junk (sticks, grass, leaves) in our garden and on walks. When we try to stop her she starts growling and lunges towards us.

The confusing part is that she also has perfectly normal moments where we all get along and she’s loving and affectionate. But she bit me quite badly last month on my hand, and I’m still healing from the bite. It was the first major bite in the time that we’ve had her. Before that it was lunges and growling with attempts to bites us, now she fully commits to biting anyone who gets in her way.

Ever since then, we’ve all been on edge because we never know when she might switch. The attacks also seem to be mainly directed at me, so I’m constantly anxious around her. Even if one of us is eating food and another person walks in, she starts attacking the person eating. Like she truly believes the food is hers. And becomes extremely aggressive over it.

We’re exhausted dealing with all of this. We love her so much, but it genuinely feels like we’re walking on eggshells in our own home. We all try to stay away from eachother so she doesn’t charge at us, however it’s hard because we have to move past eachother in certain parts of our house.

Unfortunately, we don’t have the money to pay for a behaviourist or trainer right now. Is this something my family and I can realistically work on ourselves, or is this beyond what owners should try to handle without professional help? We’d really appreciate any advice. So far we just put her in her crate when she gets aggressive, she does calm down, but the aggressiveness still carries on throughout the day. I never expected this sort of aggression from a frenchie.

I'm seeing a whole bunch of items on vinted under the new without tags condition. Then you go into the description and it says worn or few times, or used only a few times. Even in the electronic sections, the items have dust and finger prints all over them, but it's listed a new without tags.

It's annoying because I mainly want to search new with tag items, or new without tags. Not a bunch of used items in good condition. l've reported a few and they do get taken down. But I don't get why sellers think that it's ok. It ruins the whole search algorithm when you use the filter option

I literally saw a listing with this tag, and in the description he says it was used a handful of times. Not even once 😂

I’ve seen one post about it. But has anyone won it specifically in the UK? My brother has received confirmation that he has won. But no update on when it arrives.

I have a switch (v2) already, but I’m interested in owning a fully modded switch that’s all set up for me. Is it worth getting one?
