In addition to the other comments, what helps a lot is baths. It washes the pollen and other stuff away, during the summer we wash maybe once a week or every other week. Also this skin soother helps a lot when they’re rashy. That brand also has a paw soother if they get cracked dry paws.
There is always digital if you just want to read the comic. I am assuming that it shouldn't be blocked in your country.
Also, bad news about the other one: It is an 1980's indie comic so I seriously doubt it ever made its way to Belgium.
Vet had me get these, recommended the shampoo and or mousse as well. I like to wipe the paws and belly after outside time with the wipes

I use something like this. I don’t have this exact model but this style works well by keeping them safe using the existing locking buckle in your car, but with enough freedom of movement that they can sit or lay down or reposition how they like.
Here's the Amazon link to it. I love it. He drools in the vents in the center console so this has saved me. And it has big zip up sides so it holds a lot of hair in.

It depends on where you live. But these ones are this Trixie Walker Care Skyddsstövlar (Rottweiler) https://www.amazon.se/dp/B000QC553E and are the first ones that he enjoys. Tried two other before that were a nightmare to put or to keep in position without him being able to remove them.
Got to bite all those smells!
You can get a little clip that is just the bit that clicks into your seatbelt on one end and a lead attachment on the other so you can just clip him into the seatbelt with whatever harness you already have. They are dead cheap and you do t have to buy a whole new harness.
Not sure if that was a good description so link to one on Amazon below to give you an idea what I meant. If you live in UK pets at home definitely do them for just a few quid.

Kong Jumbler, has tennis ball inside and handles to grip. My dog saw it at the dog park so we got one. Had it for 6 months so far.
This one has been used by two of my BTs at this point and they haven't managed to destruct. Super fun if you like to play tug
​
I had this one and once my Molly (RIP) figured out how to put the ball back in herself she would wear herself out.
I just rescued a one eyed BT from a shelter in February too! Definitely a lot of work but worth it. Crate training helped me a lot and keeping her busy with mind games has helped. She loves learning new tricks, I feel like I’m out of tricks to teach her, but also the treat puzzle games have helped immensely. Sometimes she cheats and tries to bite the pieces off but I redirect her. I haven’t used lasers with her like someone else mentioned but I want to try those out myself. She also loves chewing on the kong ultra chew toys as well. I hope this helps you and your handsome boy!
I can't think of a crate that would comfortably fit a Bully and a Corolla. I would recommend a bigger car (lol...kinda😉). The only thing I can think of is this crate we had that fit perfectly in the back of our smaller SUV. It is built more narrowly than a standard crate, but I have no idea what the dimensions are in a Corolla. I don't want to get in trouble for posting an external url (got banned from a sub for that once), but maybe the mods will take pity on me if it's against the rules?
The other one we had was the Mr. Peanut soft-sided collapsible crate (my mini loves that one), but I think your baby might be a le to ear through that one quickly. 😁
Our white/brindle Bully had that kind of skin reaction on the inside of his hind legs/crotch ALL the time. It didn't seem to bother him but it looked like it was painful. Our vet told us to use Ketohex shampoo on him. There are several types available on Amazon, but we use this one. Within two washes, about a week apart, the reaction was gone. Been using it for about 6 years now. It's not cheap, but we don't worry about our little man being in pain.
Get a Jolly Ball, specifically the Jolly Romper. It's super durable and my pup goes bonkers for the thing. I've had both the medium and large one, and both are great sizes for a bully. 10/10 best dog toy ever.

The one that I have founded that lasted the longest was a Tuffy Ocotpus. It still got destroyed eventually but it took a whole year. Don't get the "alien" one with the spiky teeth though. Any tuffy toy with a mouth like that gives your dog an entry point to tear the thing up.
We can’t keep plush toys or many toys going with Oreo.
Chewy has some by Frisco that are muscle toys these lasted pretty good when she was younger.

Lots of patience and plan to spend lots of time with our new best friend. IMHO BT's are the most amazing breed. You will laugh and smile as much if not more than most other breeds.
​
Pay attention to their skin and diet, both can be more maintenance than most dogs.
This toy has lasted for whatever reason and it's reasonably priced:https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CVPSSGP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Good luck and welcome to the family! 😀
They are incredibly strong and have a low center of gravity. Like someone perfectly summarized a muscular ball of momentum 🤣.

More walks and or exercise, attention. This is where owners are truly tested. If you are going to own one of the amazing dogs, one truly has to embrace the responsibility. Bottom line, the happier your pup is equates to a longer life and less problems in general. We're on bully #4. 😀
More walks and or exercise, attention. This is where owners are truly tested. If you really want a bully, one truly has to embrace the responsibility and like I tell all my friends, it's work in the beginning two years. The bottom line, the happier your pup is equates to a longer life and less problems in general. We're on bully #4. 😀 It's really what it has always boiled down to for us.
I can say that this is one toy that our bullies have not been able to destroy, it's for aggressive chewers and it squeaks. I recommend giving it a try. We bought a few of them and are still on number one, a month later.

Oh no that face says it all, poor Louie! There’s some good ointments that you can use as well to help with the skin irritations, here’s a good one we use for our pups, it helps a lot when they encounter something that irritates their paws. Good luck with the shoes!
The constant licking is always the hardest! My girl is always licking her toes even with her her allergy shots😔
I got this particular robe from barkshop, i think they have scorcher version available on amazon (link https://www.amazon.com/Barkbox-Bath-Robe-Rubber-Medium/dp/B08F6GC8W7)

My chihuahua mix did much better using this device. She was confined to one place. I also wrapped her up in a blanket to help her feel more secure. She wasn’t perfect but she was considerably better than normal. She was totally quiet once we were on the interstate. She only whined when we were in stop and go traffic or got off of the freeway.
I think it was a success
Best of luck to you!
It's adjustable and you don't need to lift her feet, because it goes over her head and the buckles are around the waist. Good cushioning and has a lot of give to it.
We've tried so many others that our boy either slipped out of or would cut into his chubby armpits (legpits?).
I actually found it on amazon. I thought it was gonna be cheap but it's been great. This is the one i got

My guy love the grunting wooly mammoth. It gets torn up after about a month though. I just budgeted 10 bucks for one every few months. Now that he is a senior he is nowhere near as destructive.
The ones that lasted the longest was the tuffy ocotpus. It would takes months and months to destroy. Just avoid the ones with a sewn mouth as that is a weak point and gets torn up easily.
These are the only kinds of harnesses my little piggy gets.

This is a small! They run really large because they're made for larger dogs. The name patch was also ordered from Amazon. You can just search for custom velcro patches and there are tons of options.
I got this one from Amazon for like 30 bucks! I like it. Definitely does it's job just fine and fits my rav nicely. Folds up pretty small as well.

She didn’t mean it! I’m sure she would blame the manufacturer. You could try a magnetic auto-close doorway screen, lots on Amazon for $20 or so. We got one because our EBT has figured out how to operate the door handle and was letting herself and bugs in :)
Here’s one, but there are tons of others on there too... Magnetic Screen Door - Self Sealing, Heavy Duty, Hands Free Mesh Partition Keeps Bugs Out - Pet and Kid Friendly
I had the same struggle! Decided to just buy a bunch on Amazon and see what happens. Of the three I bought the only one that fits her (and was true to it's size) is this one! Zack & Zoey Basic Hoodie for... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0014LZU54?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share That's the same hoodie she has. Probably gonna buy 3 or 4 more but go down to a large instead of XL. You can't see it in this picture but it's pretty long and causes random issues with her back legs.
There are lots of options for muzzles nowadays. There are several on Amazon for example.
I use the 2 Hounds No Pull Harness. Works like a champ and has front and back rings so you can hook up two leashes or the special leash they make for it.
Just to be sure, since amazon showed several types of toys made by Kong (Or using the name Kong for sales) is this "Kong Classic Dog Toy" the right thing?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000AYN7LU/
I can definitely see she requires loads of attention, but bit by bit she is learning. I hope we can control the biting & drawing blood part, but all in due time I'm sure. She is still so very young & has so very much energy lol
the Halti is super good it stops the dog from tugging and helps teach them to walk. Or if you're into that tough as hell dog look
I use Fromm Adult Classic dog food. My local pet store sells it for much cheaper than that amazon link though. No issues. I also give my guy pure pumpkin in his morning meal to help with his sensitive tummy.
They're not cheap but they are well made and have an excellant warranty. I got one for my OEB. I think they have another in their raincoat line. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005SJA8RI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Two observations:
1) Buy a Nylabone for powerful chewers. Your dog needs to chew: give him a safe outlet.
2) My guess would be that the foreign objects in his digestive system were a result of chewing fixation. However, he could be suffering from pica, the compulsive eating of foreign objects. As, broadly speaking, the underlying causes are anxiety and obsessive-compulsive psychopathologies, this could be treated via fluoxetine or another SSRI prescribed by your veterinarian.
Buy a Nylabone, observe his behaviour, and investigate option 2 should giving him a safe outlet not curb his ingestion of foreign objects.
When he jumps up, cross your arms and turn away. Ignore him until he is offering more appropriate behavior. When he is being appropriate, reward! reward! reward! If he particularly gets excited & jumps up/nips when you arrive home, you should stop paying attention to him immediately when you walk in the door - no excited greetings. Act like it's no big deal. Do your thing, get settled into being home and THEN you can greet.
If he is getting too rough during play, end the session. Try to pet him. If he is too wound up and unable to relax, walk away.
Mine is a good resource for the possessiveness -- in the mean time, if you need to remove a toy from him, trade him for something else that is valuable. You should control access to toys, completely -- toys come from you and are not freely available. You may not need to do that forever, but I think it would be prudent until you are more familiar with him. :)
ETA: I do not agree with using crate as a punishment. It should be a safe place for the dog and have positive associations.
I'm chiming in as another vote for Kong anything. But also, Orka.
Anything made from the Petstages Orka line seems to be really popular among fellow Bully lovers. I can confirm, our Orka toy has held up super well. 6 months and barely any tooth dents.
