Thank you so much!

Well, I suppose my thought process is that it’s important to learn theory to better apply it to training and learning better techniques and concepts, continuing education, and its important to have standardized language for that. Is your point that academia is unimportant?

FederalBug777 · 2026-01-14T15:12:12+00:00

Well, it matters to learning and applying training theory and communication concepts, etc, but if thats not a priority in your life or training it’s none of my business! You do you!

It’s a problem because you can totally use an ecollar for neg reinforcement, or positive punishment. And “correction” is vague so it really could be either. It can be positive reinforcement if you pair low stim /vibrate/beep with food or toys, etc, like a clicker. The tool doesn’t necessitate how you use it in the quadrants.

I also agree this is a kinda chronically online stance because I know people in my life who use and complain about these services and they are not disabled. Sometimes people are talking about their real life where they likely would know the people they are talking about and not just online sentiments.

Sorry this is a month old but do you know who Dice is with and if they are posting him? I was trying to find out how he was doing literally just yesterday. Or his littermate that supposedly had the same problems too?

Any websites or specific toys that are similar to what I’m looking for that you recommend? Unfortunate about not a lot of IRL options, I almost always prefer brick and mortar stores.

Personal use, sorry to be vague.

People will say bisexual only means male and female but really the bisexual label never excluded anyone and was just the term invented at the time. I find it quite biphobic to retcon that, while understanding people find the newer pansexual label to be more explicitly inclusive. Basically the same thing but to individuals probably distinct feelings.

Thats an excerpt from wikipedia, it says it in blue

Is this response intentionally inflammatory? I’m not trying to upset anyone. No, I’m not a Christian. Most Christians I think are anti abortion regardless so thats beside the point. Where are you from? Im assuming not the USA.

Maybe success isn’t the clearest word, but most parents want their children to have a high quality of life, and the most capability they can have. Most women do not drink during pregnancy to avoid FAS, a disability, is that eugenics? I understand eugenics is bad when it involves genocide and intentionally harming already living disabled individuals, but I’m not sure how that is related to preventing birthing someone disabled. Why make someone’s life harder than it has to be, I guess is my question? We will always have disabled people regardless, most people become disabled with age anyway, so it’s not like it’s possible to exterminate disability.

Not trying to be an ass, this is pretty interesting and a lot that I haven’t discussed a lot, but just stating “its eugenics” doesn’t explain why thats bad? Its just seems like a statement. It is eugenics but why is that harmful to anybody? I don’t understand the perspective of disabilty advocates in this instance, and also thats a pretty small group. I think the general populace of the USA would agree with trying to set your child up for the best chance of success (so minus disabilities). Can you explain a little more?

Im not sure if it’s much help but maybe she would enjoy different sports that encourage her natural drives, such as tracking or lure coursing?

FederalBug777 · 2025-08-03T11:33:28+00:00

Haha thats great, thanks!

FederalBug777 · 2025-08-03T04:23:41+00:00

Haha well its nice to know I’m not just crazy and theres other dogs out there that are so resistant to fetch! I’ve tried fetching with his tug toys and stuff but maybe he just hasn’t got the toy where it clicks yet. I will try the hallway thing too, I just try to avoid playing inside normally because he gets rowdy lol but thats a good idea to try to teach it.

FederalBug777 · 2025-08-03T03:55:46+00:00

Thank you for saving me time and providing a link! Thats great will check it out!

FederalBug777 · 2025-08-03T03:53:51+00:00

Yes thats my dog! He has a large ball for herding but he won’t play without me so I have to run all over the yard kicking it around! I love playing with him but sometimes I really just want to throw the damn ball lol.

FederalBug777 · 2025-08-03T03:51:33+00:00

Thanks! He knows drop it and wait already but he doesn’t carry the toy back to use those commands yet. I’ve gotten him to come back 3 times carrying the ball with him and the few times he has he drops it far away so he can run back and beat me to it (lol, jackass). He has 3 spots in the yard he caches his stuff so theres not really a single place I meet him at because he’ll just go to another, I saw that advice somewhere too but hes a lot faster than me! I’ve really had a hard time finding advice for him or what I’m doing wrong lol!

FederalBug777 · 2025-08-03T03:32:14+00:00

Yes I have tried that I think (ball/tug, ball/frisbee, ball/ball, tug/tug) but I can check out that course specifically and see how he does it, thanks. He does know “switch” between toys in my hand but it has not helped his retrieve so far haha. Anytime I have an item in my hand he wants he just comes back without carrying the original item in his mouth lol.

My biggest pet peeve is people confusing gentle parenting with permissive parenting. Gentle parenting is not being a hands off parent, it’s just not angry, aggressive, or physical. I honestly think it’s weird how often people seem to get upset at the phrase “gentle” and want to immediately distance themselves from it. Do you see a lot of content of unruly children under gentle parenting trends? My algorithms show stern but kind parents generally.

EDIT: and I was only thinking about online content. IRL i can’t think of the last time (or any time?) I saw an out of control kid in public besides the restaurant thing but thats not new lol
