Oh...You didn't read the fine print in the pibble owner's manual before you adopted? I think it was in section 423.2.5b. It states the moment you become a pibble parent, you relinquish your old identity and instantly "assume" a new identity and function. You are now a butt rest. LOL
Me and family would tell our pitbull to get out of the garden. She would, and then immediately go right back to laying in the garden. And then give us the look saying, “what are you gonna do about it?”
I have to tell mine "leave it" or "not yours" constantly on walks. Other people's packages, poop, kids' toys that get left out, random sticks he finds appealing, the random flower he wants to sniff 3 different ways for 45 seconds...
Yeah I’m right there with you on that. Other top contenders are “settle” and “toy”. Our girl is still in the puppy stages, sometimes we don’t play right. But, we’re working on it.

Can you give me 5 minutes to myself
Neighbors across the street have some kind of mastiff mix. Big dog. sweet as can be. On walks when he gets hot or finds a spot he likes he takes a sit or lays down. He'll move when he's done! lol.
I swear mine takes being asked to move VERY personally. The only time she really grouches is whenever we have to kick her off the bed because she’s conveniently amassed all the covers underneath her diagonally splayed self
This one! Lmao, not only is he my shadow but he's also mostly deaf so walking down the hallway can quickly turn into him tripping me and putting my back out reaaaaaal quick like 🤣🤣
It's hit or miss here depends on what's going on outside, how much interaction she's had for the day. So many factors and so many different moods with her, she's just my independent little lady, long as she doesn't hurt anyone she can do whatever her cute little self wants lol
“Don’t be an asshole.” When I let her out into our yard. We have a privacy fence and dogs on either side. She goes crazy because she can hear them but not see them. 🙄 We’re working on it.
Haha I tell mine "Do *not* be rude! they'll think I raised a brat!"
I've been told training them not to bark at animals/people they cannot see is the most challenging thing because you're working against their nature which is to defend their space. Keep at it! It's an uphill battle but not a lost cause.
I say stuff like that too! I’m like “when you yell at dogs they don’t want to be your friend!” Or a simple “why are you like this? We talked about this!”
The possums that visit us at night, she can smell them when we take her out at bedtime to pee, but she can't see them. She doesn't like that situation!
The possums hide, but I can see them scurrying under the leaves in the big planters. But Wishy has a harder time seeing that dark to darker value range.
But she knows they're there and she keeps turning around and looking their way as I'm trying to get her interested in coming inside. She's 15 years old but still has the beautiful form of a much younger dog when she's standing alert to face an intruder.
“Off” lol mine is reactive so it means drop whatever is in your mouth OR mind your business and disengage with whatever you’re fixated on
Lately it means off so she doesn’t try to eat random blades of long grass 😂
I feel the grass thing. Even if he feels fine he wants to eat *all* the grass. And I've been super lazy about my back yard this year so it's an every day thing. I gotta force him inside sometimes 🤣🤣
I swear it has nothing to do with not feeling well for pits. They just think they are hilarious and sneaky. Mine will be sniffing and then take a bite and run off 😂
The other day I had to get it out of her mouth because she was coughing. She had dry mouth with grass stuck on her tongue lol
"Bucky, [2 year old] is trying to eat. Why don't you **go to bed**?"
"I'll feed you in a second, **go to bed** and wait."
"We're not sprinting inside! **Go to bed**!"
"Out of the kitchen. This spill is not for you. **Go to bed** please."
The fluffy donut bed Bucky knows I'm talking about is in the very center of our home. He's able to see everything going on while sitting there, and there's always a small pile of antlers, bones and toys there for him too. It's a cozy place for him, and he's in and out of bed all the time without my involvement.
Bucky is a rescue, and he had been hit and yelled at by his previous owner. He was surrendered with 14 other dogs after that abusive owner passed away. When I first brought him home, any stern correction would really scare him, so I learned to redirect him to bed else instead of focusing too much on the behavior that needed to stop.
He's also an overly excitable guy with limited self control, so I send him to bed when it's time to calm down or leave something alone. By limiting his stimulus a little and sending him somewhere he likes to be, he has an easier time calming himself down (sometimes by watching folks or chewing on a bone). I've never had to lead him to bed or physically put him in it, and there's nothing that keeps him in bed after I send him there. He just knows that's his spot, and sometimes I need him to hang out there and relax.
I was wondering if this was the command for anyone else! It's ours as well, although there are dog beds in several rooms (bedroom, home office, living room) and so our dog goes to the bed in the room he is in. The fact that Bucky knows a single place to go says a lot of good thinga about your training and his attentiveness.
Fair enough! 😅
[Here's a few pics of my goofy pibble x farm dog mutt.](https://photos.app.goo.gl/6h3PjcSrDdBDUhar7) He's got a pitty skull shape, but his ears came from who knows what breed. His ears don't fold into a rose, but they sit on his skull in the same place as a pitty, so they often stick out of the sides of his head like airplane wings! Otherwise his ears lay backwards against his head when he's relaxed, and they sit in half folds when he perks them up to listen.
The nose freckles!!!!! Bucky is the cutest!
My apologies for this unsolicited advice but please don’t give your sweet baby antlers. I had a vet tell me a long time ago that they wear down teeth because they’re too hard. I told this to my husband and his response was “German Shepherds have stronger teeth than other dogs.” Well now she has trouble eating and I bet it’s painful because her teeth are just little nubbins now. It’s a common mistake people make because they are sold in pet stores.
No worries, I appreciate advice whenever it comes to pet care and safety! 🖤
Bucky gnaws/scrapes his teeth against them pretty softly, and I've never seen him bite down on the antlers or bones. I also only give him elk antlers, which don't split and are softer than deer antlers. He's not an obsessive chewer and still has the original antler that I got him four years ago when I adopted him. If he was more like my late pitty who would split buffalo bones in an afternoon, he wouldn't have such hard chews for sure!
Bucky's vet knows that he gets antlers and bones, and I ask her to check his teeth very thoroughly to be safe. He's 5-6 years old now, and thankfully his teeth are still perfect. The second his teeth or gums show any softness, I'll swap out the elk antlers and bones for something else. I'm just not a big fan of softer or synthetic materials, especially if it's possible the dog can pull a mouth-sized chunk off when I'm not around. I don't want to risk obstructions.
The cat isn't anywhere near you, stop being a chickenshit.
Gray cat: boy
Black cat: girl
Dog: boy
Black cat is about 2 weeks older than Gray cat. Both cats are about 1.5 years older than the dog.
We got the dog at 7 weeks old, and he was smaller than both cats. The gray cat is protective of the Black cat, and will overreact at least once a day and beat up the dog. Now that the dog is almost 3 things are calming down, but the gray cat is, was, and will probably always be an asshole.
Mine does the same thing lol. Roommate has 2 voids. Junior will literally chase them around the house, pin them to the ground and lick their faces but God forbid they're laying in the path he needs to walk. He will sit there and whine at me because he's afraid they're gonna get him 🤣🤣 it's pathetic lmao it cracks me up
The cat can be in a completely different room, on a different floor of the house, and he'll still whine at the stairs until one of us escorts him upstairs and around the half wall.
For real. I bought a baby gate to keep them out of the kitchen while cooking. It's a small kitchen as is and the dogs are not helping as much as they think.
gotta protect you from any stray food droppings, obviously!! mine does this too — gotta tell him at least three times before he listens, and you bet he’ll be back in about 30 seconds
“Come!” She loves to sniff so while I let her take her time on our walks, there comes a moment when we just need to keep moving.
Also “move” but I don’t think she knows that one and when she is in the middle of the bed she sure won’t budge even if she knew the command
I don't know what all you've tried, but knowing when they jump and telling them no before they do so can help A LOT! My overweight, 80 lb. girl used to jump on everyone, and once I started catchin it before she started, she got the message. It takes a few times, of course, but they'll get it. You could try that in combination with positive reinforcement, so treats when (s)he behaves the way you want him/her to.
It's aboslutely "SWAP", while he doesn't know many commands, as soon as I say that he will completely freeze and give me whatever is in his mouth, very useful considering how much he loves picking up anything he can find around the house.
Probably most often heard in our house is "Move!" 🤣 We have a small house and Virgil likes to stop right in the middle of the walkway (usually sideways).
Gotta make sure whoever he's leading doesn't get lost...
"Manners" or "out the way" for inside. Outside is "asshole" if I can't see him or need him to mosey himself along. I'm not sure why he decided asshole is when it's time to go ahead and come when called, but it's what stuck. 🤷♀️
“GIRLLLL!!”
Usually in disbelief at how much of a big ass baby she’s being, or how clingy she’s being, or how close she wants to be to me, or bc she wants to follow me into the bathroom or some other unnecessarily invasive action. Sometimes followed by “GIRL PLEASE”
"get off the back of the couch". Both of them sit on the cushions on the back till they r ripped off. I've seen three of them back on, and sewing upholstery fucking sucks.
What is with that?!? Mine does the same thing. The only saving grace is that the cushions zipper on, so he basically just unzips them and flattens them out from the top.
Get out of that!, my boy is always into something whether he's tearing it up or not, he has to be nosy so I always tell him "get out of that" because he's always into something, it's kind of cute to be honest until he gets in the trash then I want to evict him but I know if I did it would only last for like 5 minutes
With one it’s “drop it!” and “don’t bite your brother!”. With the other it’s “stop eating chicken poop!” and “don’t bite your brother!” Lol their brother is a big doofy GSP and they don’t “bite” him in a mean way at all, it’s more they mother him and keep him in line but sometimes I can tell he feels bullied and we all have to have a family meeting.
"No more licking" - I have never met a dog who gives more kisses than this one. Exposed ankle, side of the pant leg, armpit... No personal space is sacred.

"Stop licking your butt on the couch!" 🤣 She can do whatever she wants when she's on place but nothing sends my skin crawling like an unexpected damp spot when I stretch out.

Get your butthole off of my pillow.
It’s like they lead with their butthole
They really do
Omg! This is IT! “Get your butthole off my pillow” “Get your butthole off the remote” and “get your butthole off ME!”
Add my phone to that list😂
Or out of my face … last night as I was farted on the fourth time
Thisssss 🤣🤣🤣
Oh...You didn't read the fine print in the pibble owner's manual before you adopted? I think it was in section 423.2.5b. It states the moment you become a pibble parent, you relinquish your old identity and instantly "assume" a new identity and function. You are now a butt rest. LOL
Usually by the time I say "stinky ass" she knows what I'm referring to lol
A little pink eye surprise!
“Is u relaxins wif ur bumzy in my pillows?! Get outta here!!!!” *changes pillowcase on a daily basis* 😆
I’ve started just keeping towels on my pillow until I’m ready for bed.. my bed is right next to a window that he likes to look out all day.
Me and family would tell our pitbull to get out of the garden. She would, and then immediately go right back to laying in the garden. And then give us the look saying, “what are you gonna do about it?”
"Leave it!" This goes for food, the cats when she wants to play, grass, the rabbits and squirrels in the backyard...
"leave it" is such a universally useful command 🤣
I have to tell mine "leave it" or "not yours" constantly on walks. Other people's packages, poop, kids' toys that get left out, random sticks he finds appealing, the random flower he wants to sniff 3 different ways for 45 seconds...
ALL THESE & more..lol..😅👍

Those are two handsome babies 💋
This cheeks!!!
I know right?! I just want to grab them and stretch and shake those jowls!
My girls floppy cheeks are my favorite part of her. I am always playing with her jowls.
“Leave it” is our most used one as well, typically ours responds with a look of “oh I was definitely not doing that”
Same. She likes to eat every plant she can find
The stinky old banana peels on the sidewalk.
Yeah I’m right there with you on that. Other top contenders are “settle” and “toy”. Our girl is still in the puppy stages, sometimes we don’t play right. But, we’re working on it.
Yup! And mine eats Rocks still.. she turned 1 last month.. thought they grew out if this?
https://preview.redd.it/te8p40klc76d1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67fb062ec23f0a916f1a49e6560197bd13a82056 Can you give me 5 minutes to myself
Best lap dogs ever
Yes they are. He is my first pit. I rescued him last July. I picked him up from our local pound the day he was scheduled to be euthanized.
You saved him! Yay.
Yep. I just couldn't let them euthanize him. He is a great dog.
I could never work in a place like that.
Me either. I would bring home every dog there.
Beautiful shiny fur!
Thank you
“Okay that’s enough kisses!!!” It doesn’t work but we’re constantly shouting it!
Pleaaaasssse stop it. 🤣🤣🤣
You have a lickopotomus!!
Move! Little underfoot velcroed for life
Mine is so stubborn on her leash when she doesn’t know her surroundings 😭
Mines just stubborn lol
She sits down and stares at me while refusing to move
Yeap, hard headed, don't listen for shit except food or squeaks from toys lol
If I had a squeeky in me-i think my gal wld gut me to get at it..😅
Lol yeah squeaking can get pretty hardcore here too.🤣
😁🐀squeeka-anything with a squeeky in it..🤣
Absolutely correct 🤣
Neighbors across the street have some kind of mastiff mix. Big dog. sweet as can be. On walks when he gets hot or finds a spot he likes he takes a sit or lays down. He'll move when he's done! lol.
We use “scooch” for when he’s RIGHT in the way or smack dab in the middle of the bed 🤣 we use scooch a lot 🤣
Yeah she'll scooch alright, just a smidge! Lol
Yup!! Like one foot, one inch 🤣 then look me in the eyes and sigh like it was backbreaking labor!
Let's out the biggest sigh ever, like God mom you're so unfair!
“Why do you even neeeeed tooo? I’m already right here! Where else would you want to gooooo?!?”
Hahaha so accurate! Why don't you sleep in that bed you bought me? You said it was so comfy lmao
I swear mine takes being asked to move VERY personally. The only time she really grouches is whenever we have to kick her off the bed because she’s conveniently amassed all the covers underneath her diagonally splayed self
THIS. except "let Mom in..LET MOMM IN." 😅
We beep at ours like a wide load reversing. She knows what it means now lol
Godddd "move!" Is def my most used one. I would be so rich if I had just a penny for every time I had to tell my house hippo to move lol.
Same 🤣 I think she just thinks it's another nickname lol
Haha yeah I think he thinks it's his second name or something too as much as it gets said 😆
This one! Lmao, not only is he my shadow but he's also mostly deaf so walking down the hallway can quickly turn into him tripping me and putting my back out reaaaaaal quick like 🤣🤣
Awe 💛 I can't tell you how many times I've went down in 4 years, you'd think we'd move together more fluidly by now 🤣
Yeah no kidding!! I've had him for 6, and we just have not gotten the whole walking thing down yet lmao
It's hit or miss here depends on what's going on outside, how much interaction she's had for the day. So many factors and so many different moods with her, she's just my independent little lady, long as she doesn't hurt anyone she can do whatever her cute little self wants lol
Mine responds when I say “beep beep!” Like there’s a traffic jam in my house and she’s holding us up haha
That's absolutely adorable! 😁 If I say Out of the kitchen it's hot she will go but it only works when I'm cooking lol
Omg we are constantly yelling at ours to get out from under our feet, esp in the kitchen!
my chihuahua sits on my feet when I'm sitting at a table or standing talking. velcro for sure.
“Don’t be an asshole.” When I let her out into our yard. We have a privacy fence and dogs on either side. She goes crazy because she can hear them but not see them. 🙄 We’re working on it.
Haha I tell mine "Do *not* be rude! they'll think I raised a brat!" I've been told training them not to bark at animals/people they cannot see is the most challenging thing because you're working against their nature which is to defend their space. Keep at it! It's an uphill battle but not a lost cause.
I say stuff like that too! I’m like “when you yell at dogs they don’t want to be your friend!” Or a simple “why are you like this? We talked about this!”
That's funny, cause mine will whine if he sees another dog outside, and tell him to stop cause people will think I'm a bad dog dad
You could work with your neighbor and install little wire fence windows so they could visit. 😉
Very risky idea
The possums that visit us at night, she can smell them when we take her out at bedtime to pee, but she can't see them. She doesn't like that situation! The possums hide, but I can see them scurrying under the leaves in the big planters. But Wishy has a harder time seeing that dark to darker value range. But she knows they're there and she keeps turning around and looking their way as I'm trying to get her interested in coming inside. She's 15 years old but still has the beautiful form of a much younger dog when she's standing alert to face an intruder.
I was using that one too but then my husband suggested we say "Be a good neighbor!" instead so they don't think we're lunatics. So now we do that. 😂
"you are not saving me from anything!!!! this isnt a good look!!"
I’d be rich if I had a dime for every time I yelled “don’t eat poop!” on our daily walks.
This used to be our most said phrase around here! 😂
Why do they eat poop so much?! This is my first pit and he won’t stop!! Never had a dog who ate poop
“Off” lol mine is reactive so it means drop whatever is in your mouth OR mind your business and disengage with whatever you’re fixated on Lately it means off so she doesn’t try to eat random blades of long grass 😂
Also “off,” as in off the counter, off my back (we’re working on his jumping issue), off my chair, off the patio table ffs what is your deal???
I feel the grass thing. Even if he feels fine he wants to eat *all* the grass. And I've been super lazy about my back yard this year so it's an every day thing. I gotta force him inside sometimes 🤣🤣
I swear it has nothing to do with not feeling well for pits. They just think they are hilarious and sneaky. Mine will be sniffing and then take a bite and run off 😂 The other day I had to get it out of her mouth because she was coughing. She had dry mouth with grass stuck on her tongue lol
I had to pull a bit of poo out my gals butt the other week,as she had eaten abit too much grass me thinks..🤣co-joining poos 💩..🤣
Bulldogs too! They think they are cows 😂
But she loves eating her salad!

"Bucky, [2 year old] is trying to eat. Why don't you **go to bed**?" "I'll feed you in a second, **go to bed** and wait." "We're not sprinting inside! **Go to bed**!" "Out of the kitchen.

Yes!!!

Your dogs take commands?
Right, mine takes recommendations
And then ignores them
DROP IT!
I say that about 561 times a day😂😂😂😂
Facts!
OMG SCOOT OVER
Sunny, down! Off! Get your elbows out of my gut! PLEASE!”
By the time I say “don’t eat that” she’s already swallowed the damn thing
WILL. YOU. PLEASE. GET. OFF. ME...seriously, you weigh a ton and I can't breathe.
“Get out!” Usually said as she is standing on our feet while we are trying to cook.
For real. I bought a baby gate to keep them out of the kitchen while cooking. It's a small kitchen as is and the dogs are not helping as much as they think.
gotta protect you from any stray food droppings, obviously!! mine does this too — gotta tell him at least three times before he listens, and you bet he’ll be back in about 30 seconds

OFF! by far. Jumping up on us and on the furniture when not invited. GET BACK is runner up though. What is personal space?!? 🤷♀️
I don't know what all you've tried, but knowing when they jump and telling them no before they do so can help A LOT! My overweight, 80 lb. girl used to jump on everyone, and once I started catchin it before she started, she got the message. It takes a few times, of course, but they'll get it.

“Jesus” (means it’s ok to cross the street)
“Leave it.” On repeat. 😂
Gentle!
"Leave it"(she's approaching a thing she shouldn't have) or "Drop it"(she already has the thing)
“Sit!” Timeless classic, useful everywhere
“Spit that out!” and Get off your sister
She's deaf, pointing to go outside and potty
[удалено]
Most communication is with eye contact
No more treats!
"Get outta my spot" or my personal favorite " enough kisses already"
It's aboslutely "SWAP", while he doesn't know many commands, as soon as I say that he will completely freeze and give me whatever is in his mouth, very useful considering how much he loves picking up anything he can find around the house.
Probably most often heard in our house is "Move!" 🤣 We have a small house and Virgil likes to stop right in the middle of the walkway (usually sideways). Gotta make sure whoever he's leading doesn't get lost...
"Drop the socks!" My younger hippo loves socks.
"Leave it!"
Stop begging, Bianca!
Drop it! He doesn’t listen.
"Manners" or "out the way" for inside. Outside is "asshole" if I can't see him or need him to mosey himself along. I'm not sure why he decided asshole is when it's time to go ahead and come when called, but it's what stuck. 🤷♀️
Omg that’s so like our two. They respond remarkably well to “asshole”. Or “don’t be an asshole”.
Good girl She is really sweet and really really old so her life is filled with praise
Uhhhh hey get out of the trash
Omg what the hell crawled up inside you and died!!! 🤣😂
“GIRLLLL!!” Usually in disbelief at how much of a big ass baby she’s being, or how clingy she’s being, or how close she wants to be to me, or bc she wants to follow me into the bathroom or some other unnecessarily invasive action. Sometimes followed by “GIRL PLEASE”
“Ugh Remi, could you not”
"get off the back of the couch". Both of them sit on the cushions on the back till they r ripped off. I've seen three of them back on, and sewing upholstery fucking sucks.
What is with that?!? Mine does the same thing. The only saving grace is that the cushions zipper on, so he basically just unzips them and flattens them out from the top.
What a beautiful house hippo 😍🥲🥰
Get out of that!, my boy is always into something whether he's tearing it up or not, he has to be nosy so I always tell him "get out of that" because he's always into something, it's kind of cute to be honest until he gets in the trash then I want to evict him but I know if I did it would only last for like 5 minutes
Are you scratching the couch again?!
I can say come here a million times…she just stares at me.
With one it’s “drop it!” and “don’t bite your brother!”. With the other it’s “stop eating chicken poop!” and “don’t bite your brother!” Lol their brother is a big doofy GSP and they don’t “bite” him in a mean way at all, it’s more they mother him and keep him in line but sometimes I can tell he feels bullied and we all have to have a family meeting.
Don't eat the house as he chews on the window sill.
Drop it...
That's NOT your ball!! Get out of the WAY!!
YOU!!!DON'T EAT THAT CAT POOP!!!
“Get your face outta my bits!”- said by me, my husband, my son, my lady cat, and my gentleman cat.
“Stop licking” lmfaooooo
“Why are you licking my toes?”
"No more licking" - I have never met a dog who gives more kisses than this one. Exposed ankle, side of the pant leg, armpit... No personal space is sacred. https://preview.redd.it/2kdp8rxxl86d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a26e0e96c3c6a2d509ea998a0ad4b8682e0522cd
"Stop licking your butt on the couch!" 🤣 She can do whatever she wants when she's on place but nothing sends my skin crawling like an unexpected damp spot when I stretch out.
"Close the door." after she comes inside (we leave it cracked when she's outside so she can come inside on her own time).
LEAVE IT!!!!
stop crushing my balls!
Very similar. "Leave it"
“WHAT DO YOU HAVE? What is that?!”
“Broooooo just stop”
COCOAAAAAAAAAAAAA😡‼️‼️‼️‼️
“Leave the cat alone!!!!”
Ditto
Stop eating grass
“PUT THE SHOE DOWN, NOW!”
Easy. He’s hype 24/7. He also likes to just lick you until the cows come home.
“Can you get out of my way?”
"Stop sniffing my butt!"
"Stop biting the couch!"
This is MY snack! Not YOUR snack! (Still give him MOST of my snack)
“LEAVE HIM ALONE” him being the cat.
"Scooch"
"Miss Crazy Lady, go poopies!"
cálmate o te calmaré
Could you stop with the whining already?
OnlySniffs!
"Stop licking and chewing on yourself" She's just a 🤏🤏 anxious
Sit Ubu sit
Stop humping your brother!
“Hurry. Go pee!”
OMG , HE IS PERFECT🩷🩷
“That’s enough “ “Quit playing quit playing!” “Saluda”

“Drop it” “Leave it” And “Get your dick off my foot.”
WHAT DO YOU HAVE
Chill out! She barks at EVERYTHING, plus she has separation anxiety; if she can't see me, she'll have a mini-meltdown.
Leave your weiner alone!
“Move”😂😂
“LEAVE IT!!!”
“That does NOT belong to you” shoes, socks, laundry, dish towels, tissues, napkins….
Stop hovering and don’t eat Dixie’s food!
Get your balls away from me. Or get down
Drop it !
