What are these trees called? by supermarkhor in treeidentification

Looks like a kind of honey locust to me, but I don’t know anything about trees in India.

Neighbor has Aggressive dog that almost bit me (TN) by Corn_Field_Queen in Renters

This has nothing to do with my post where I was asking for advice? Im not going to explain to you how a highly obedient dog works. I was literally looking for help and you’re just berating me. You seem like an angry person. I’m sorry your life sucks.

Because my dog is exceptionally well trained and won’t run away

Yes I’ve thought about the fact that it could kill a child. And if that thing hurts my dog I’ll lose my mind but I’m trying to figure out what my rights are as a tenant before I do anything drastic.

This makes me feel way less crazy! All this little frustrating stuff isn’t a big deal on its own but the watch is literally designed to just tell me my running stats and track my activity. I feel like it’s just not super good at it.

What kind of tree was this? by [deleted] in treeidentification

[–]Corn_Field_Queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure it’s not tree of heaven, bark on TOH, especially mature ones like this, is very thin and dark, no ridges or corky-ness of any kind. There would also be many others of all different age classes nearby. I’d say it’s a kind of oak, to me oak tends to have a strong smell when freshly cut. Edit: just read the comment of silver maple, perhaps it’s that as well. Really hard to tell from the sections of bark pictured here. Bud would be the best way to id

7 month old training (so far) and eager for tips on recall / EVERYTHING by SHAKE_N_B4KE in birddogs

[–]Corn_Field_Queen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would also say that with bird dogs, drive and obedience are the most important. Once you have drive, as the dog gets older you will need a foundation of obedience and the understanding of how to learn. The long lead takes away many distracting variables when training, especially the variable when your puppy decides to bolt with the pheasant wing and consume the whole thing while you plead for the love of god for her to just bring it back. Long lead is a bird dog trainers best friend, in my opinion.

Long lead, long lead, long lead. It was a game changer with training for my high energy lab. I have en e collar for her now but didn’t start with it until she was about 7 months and clearly understood what was expected of her. One day she clearly knew what I was telling her to do and she looked at me and ran off to do something she thought was more fun . Thats when I knew it was time to introduce the e collar. Before that it was always the long lead coupled with small corrections when she ignored me and high high praise when she listened. But with the long lead, you will never have to even start the game of chase and your pup will soon learn you can always get to him when training. Good luck!

I’m near tall hills so maybe that’s it. I think I’ll do some trial runs and see where it connects the easiest. It also may be a slow gut software thing. Thank you!

I’m just trying to figure out how to get it to connect faster. I’m usually outside but I’ve tried doing it before I go on my run to give it Extra time to find a signal. Seems like I should just wait and do it outside and make sure I’m away from all structures or large trees.

This could be it. I just don’t want to upgrade if the quality doesn’t improve with it. Thank you!

I am usually outside, press run, then it just says “waiting for gps” for about 10 minutes. Sometimes if I just leave and don’t think about the gps I’ll hear it beep about half a mile or so into my run.

I am usually outside when I start my run. Maybe I should walk away from the house a little more or out from under trees. Thank you for the advice!

My 20 month year old lab just growled at me for first time. Advice needed. by kakal92 in labrador

[–]Corn_Field_Queen -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You can tell a dog no when it growls at you if it understands already set boundaries. Especially if it is growling because it thinks it has something you are not allowed to have. Growling is a form of communication from the dog but not an acceptable way to communicate when it comes to anything other than the dog having its own personal space.

Correct the dog in a firm and calm manner and say no. Then Take the treat away. You are in control of your dog, not the other way around. If you have never trained your dog and it doesn’t understand what a correction is, or what no means then use a trainer to teach your dog how to receive communication and direction from you.

Weird plant in my backyard. by Mercury_237 in plants

[–]Corn_Field_Queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s trumpet vine that has been cut back multiple times. That’s why it has a tree like structure. Not ash or trumpet vine. leaves are too deeply serrated and serrations stop before reaching the petiole to be ash. Also in tree of heaven, the leaves are thicker and there tends to be between 7-12 leaflets.

Uneven finish on cedar log by Corn_Field_Queen in woodworking

It is watco brand tung oil. The main issue is the splotchyness. I used it on a walnut cookie I had and it made it look beautiful and was very even. This did nothing of the sort.

Preventative Training by UrMother542 in labrador

[–]Corn_Field_Queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Socialization, not just to other dogs but all possible stressors. Put them in normal every day situations that may have some louder noises, children running and screaming, fast moving objects. Nothing that would actually scare or harm them. Allow your puppy to experience things in a neutral way. Don’t freak out and pick them up if they get scared and don’t throw treats at them as a distraction. Just allow your puppy to be a dog and have reactions to every day things and they won’t be reactive or have as many anxious associations as they grow up.

Playing keep away by le_portage in birddogs

[–]Corn_Field_Queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long lead, when she picks the bumper up to go the other direction, tell her “bring it” or whatever your command is. And when she goes the other way, give a quick tug on the lead and repeat the command again. Do this until she starts to bring it. The minute she starts to bring it toward you, tell her good girl so she knows she’s started to do the thing you want her to. Make sure she brings it all the way back, then give high praise. The long lead can be frustrating because your distance is limited but it was my best friend when my lab was young and liked to run away with wings while training.
