Mon Cocker me rend médicalement dépressif a cause de son comportement, HELP

Salut,

J’ai 30 ans, je suis un homme et je vis en France.

On a adopté notre cocker, Winnie, un male. Il a 2 ans maintenant et il est castré.

On l’a depuis qu’il a 2 mois et demi d'un elevage.

C’est notre premier chien, et je pense pas avoir été un très bon maître. Je l’ai un peu élevé comme un enfant roi et j’ai jamais vraiment corrigé les problèmes quand il était chiot. Mais maintenant ça me rend littéralement dépressif medicalement, je l’aime énormément, mais je deviens extrêmement frustré, triste, énervé, impuissant...

On a plusieurs problèmes avec lui mais le plus gros problème c’est son comportement dehors.

Il passe CONSTANTEMENT son temps à renifler le sol, chercher n’importe quoi à manger et tirer comme un cheval pour aller renifler de nouveaux endroits et trouver des trucs intéressants à bouffer :

Ça peut être des crottes d’animaux sauvages, de la nourriture humaine, des chips, des noix, du pain, littéralement n’importe quoi de mangeable. Même si moi je vois absolument rien, lui il va tirer, renifler et finir par trouver quelque chose.

Je suis extrêmement fatigué de devoir le tirer pendant les balades et de sortir des merdes de sa bouche.

Maintenant je pense le promener avec une muselière tout le temps parce que j’en peux vraiment plus, littéralement juste penser au fait de devoir sortir le promener me donne envie de pleurer.

Il tire tout le temps, renifle tout le temps, mange tout le temps.

Je m’en fou qu’il soit réactif avec les humains/enfants quand ils essayent d’interagir avec lui. Je m’en fou qu’il soit réactif avec environ 10% des chiens mâles. Je m’en fou qu’il soit hyper collant et qu’il puisse rester seulement 4h seul à la maison après une grosse balade.

Le SEUL truc qui me rend complètement FOU c’est son comportement pendant les balades.

La seule solution que je vois actuellement c’est muselière + harnais avec attache avant.

Toute sa vie il a été promené avec un harnais attaché sur le dos, jamais avec un collier, parce que depuis qu’il est petit il tire énormément et j’avais peur de lui écraser la trachée avec un collier.

J’ai besoin d’aide, parce que mon petit Winnie, même si je l’aime énormément, est littéralement en train de me rendre cliniquement dépressif à cause de son comportement dehors.

PS : Concernant travailler le “lâche” / “laisse”, j’ai aucune idée de comment travailler ça dans mon cas. Parce que le problème c’est que je vois pas les trucs dangereux dehors AVANT qu’il les prenne dans sa bouche. Pendant les balades je le surveille comme un FAUCON et c’est extrêmement fatiguant mentalement de faire ça 2h par jour, et malgré ça je rate quand même des trucs qu’il arrive à manger. En plus il a énormément d’allergies alimentaires donc c’est très compliqué de trouver des friandises hypoallergéniques de grosse valeur pour lui apprendre ces commandes.

PS2 : Parfois il aime aussi manger des trucs qui sont pas de la nourriture, genre des bouts de bois, mais la plupart du temps il les détruit et recrache les petits morceaux. Même si aujourd’hui j’ai eu l’impression qu’il commençait justement à moins les recracher et à manger certains petits morceaux.

PS3 : Je le promène environ 2h par jour. 1h avant son repas vers 8h du matin. 1h avant son repas vers 17h. (+ environ 20 min vers 22h avant de dormir pour qu’il fasse pipi pour la nuit).

My Cocker is giving me Depression because of his behavior... HELP

Hi,

I'm 30M and live in France.

We adopted our male cocker, Winnie, which is a 2 years old neutered male cocker.

We have him since he is 10 weeks.

It's our first dog, and I'm not a good owner. I raised him as spoiled kid and never really addressed the issues when he was a puppy. But now it's literally giving me medical depression, I love him, but I get extremely frustrated, sad, angry, powerless...

We have multiple issues with him but the biggest one is his behavior outside.

He is constantly sniffing the ground and trying to find anything to eat and pulling like a horse to go sniff new places and try to find new interesting stuff to eat:

It can be wild animals poop, human food, chips, nuts, bread, anything eatable, even if I can't see it, he will pull all time, sniff and find it.

I'm extremely tired of pulling him during walk and taking shit out of his mouth.

Now I plan to walk him with muzzle all the time because I can't anymore it literally makes me want to cry thinking about going outside with him.

He is always pulling, sniffing, eating.

I don't care that he is reactive to human/kids when they try to interact with him. I don't care that he is reactive 10% of male dog. I don't care that he is clingy and can only spend 4h alone at home after a long walk.

The only thing driving me INSANE is this behavior on walk.

The only solution I see is muzzle + front clip harness.

During all his life he was walking with back clip harness, never collar, because since he is small he is pulling and I was scared that it would collapse his throat.

I need help, because my little Winnie, even if I love him, is making me clinically depressed by his behavior outside.

PS: About working on "drop it" / "leave it" I have no idea how to work this. Because I can't see the bad stuff outside before he takes it in his mouth. During walk I'm watching him like a HAWK and it's extremely mentally taxing to do this 2h per day and I still miss some stuff that he manage to eat. Also he has huge allergy to a lot of food so it's hard to find hypoallergenic high value treat to train these commands.

PS2: Sometime he like to eat non-food material like wood sticks, but most of the time he destroy it and spit it out. Even if today I feel like he started to spitting the little bit out and eating it.

PS3: I walk him around 2h per day. 1h before food at 8 in the morning. 1h before food at 5 in the evening (+20 min before sleep at 10 to pee for the night)

Horrible Customer Service from Sennheiser

I bought Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 for full price on the officiel Sennheiser store.

2 years and 3 month after, they died. They didn't die because I treated them badly, they died because the design of the battery is stupid.

I was in vacation and the earbuds were left too long without battery in their case (also without battery).

If this happens for too long, they are not able to charge again, ever because the tension is too low (this is a common problem online). You have to open them and then connect some pins or whatever to force charging.

By the way only ONE side died in my case, the second one still charge fine.

Here is the Customer Service answer:

https://preview.redd.it/gb84czh545gh1.png?width=811&format=png&auto=webp&s=be752e3303c557aeeda6ef9bd6c417f1ca2142ba

Unfortunately, the manufacturer's warranty has already expired in this case.
 
The voluntary manufacturer's warranty is valid from the date of purchase and is not extended if a replacement device is delivered or another service is used. The warranty does not start over from the beginning either.
 
Unfortunately, the current True Wireless models cannot be repaired in the traditional sense. Models such as the Sport True Wireless, CX Plus TW and MTW models are sealed to block out sound and protect against moisture, dust and other environmental factors.
 
If the warranty no longer applies, we can only recommend purchasing a new device in such cases.
 
Should we return the device unrepaired, or should we dispose of it for you?

🤡 Can even make a small 3 month exception for customer that bought it on YOUR store for a KNOWN issue of YOUR design 🤡

German, Smokeybrown or brown banded ?

This is three pictures of the same guy. I found three of these guys in 3 days in my Living-room/Kitchen/Desk. This one was at 10 pm in the evening. He was like 4/5mm long. I see this big white horizontal band and seleveral small white band toward rear of the insect.

I live in France, near Germany, with the hot weather we had constant balcony door open (we live on second floor).

I'm wondering if now I have a cockroach infestation that I'm going to have to fight and it scares me a bit. Because I believe it's a nymph and if yes it's a bad sign.

I tried using a lot of AI to guess which it is, they all give different results for different reasons

We started buying air tight container for everything, washing all tables, stoves top and sink for any trace of food. Removing all standing water (except dog water) and bought sticky trap to monitor.

Now we are vacuming everything to try to declutter a bit the appartement but it's very hard. What do you think it is ? I need to identify it to be able to better understand what they hunt and how they act...
