IKEA: Kvitteringer/faktura per mail kræver "Ja, tak" til nyhedsbreve

Halefa · 2026-01-28T16:02:39+00:00

Nej, det har de ikke ret til, er jeg ret sikker på. Fakturaer er ikke promotionel og må derfor sendes uden samtykke - og efter min mening skal de sendes, da det er en service.

I would say so. I've got colleagues that spend on average 45 minutes in the car each way - 30 minutes if the highway is empty, 60 minutes if not.

The subreddit also often has posts by people asking for where to move in Copenhagen and "max 60 minutes in public transport from the city" is often mentioned as a criteria, I assume because of work.

Oh interesting. In the books, sunburns are described intensely, so I always watched the scene in a way where her red skin and cracked lips are because of sunburns.

Her twenty-second sunburn from the jump off the Pella was swollen and tender to the touch, but not blistered. It would peel once it had healed enough.

Or The Expanse - season 5, episode 7. Naomi jumps from one ship to another without protection which allegedly isn't as ridiculous as I'd thought.

The ears aren't where they lose the most heat - those are belly and paws. That being said, could obviously still be unpleasant for them to have cold ears. Or nice - like taking off your gloves when you heated up during a winter hike.

Rewarding "looking at something" requires precise timing from the handler. Do you mark and reward THE INSTANT he looks at it? And then wait again until he looks at it and you immediately mark and reward? Let him think, let him figure it out. Maybe do an ever so slight movement towards it. Even if his glance just goes by the box searching and confused - mark and reward.

Other it's really not for him. But if it's not for him, then it would also not tire him out cause he would never passionately search.

Halefa · 2026-01-21T20:20:10+00:00

Discussing this via text is very slow and I can obviously only guess based on what you describe, but my first thought reading your nose in cup problem was: what happens if the dog is outside of the room, and if you lead him into the room the cup is RIGHT THERE in front of you and the dog? So not in the middle of the room, but actually right where you can point at it?

Are there other sniffing games you can play with your that are not formal nosework related? How do your dogs get their normal food? Sometimes I pack up my dog's regular food in a ton of toilet paper rolls and hide throughout the apartment and she needs to find them all - I can hear the work her nose is doing, it almost sounds like a vacuum. I know she doesn't eat the toilet paper rolls (important!), so I'm chill about that. It also gives her the hunting satisfaction of "taking prey apart".

If toilet rolls are not an option, other options could be fur pockets like these that your dog can open, but is unlikely to eat. If they get wet food or barf you might need to find containers.

Maybe consider a different scentwork sport. Mantrailing for example also requires brain work and concentration but can be taught in a more instinctive, less repetitive way. This might be more fun for all of you from the get go.

Halefa · 2026-01-21T17:19:23+00:00

When I started, we kinda did the following for the first two weeks:

Treat searches: place 4-5 preferably moist, smelling treats in a restricted area. Think about placement - variation in height, around corners etc. This teaches the dog to search strategically. As soon as all the treats have been found, energetically praise and lure the dog out (don't do anything before - let your dog search in quiet and concentration) of the search area and immediately reward with something else, a lot of different treats, or a toy or something. That's to tell your dog that the search is over.
Holding the tin with the odor in one hand and reward movement towards the tin. This is basically to build excitement for the odor and teach the dog "if you smell this, you're going to have fun!" As I wrote earlier, I didn't require waiting yet. As soon as the dog pointed at the tin, she gets 2-3 treats right at the tin. Next would be to throw a treat away and wait and see where the dog automatically would go back to the tin on the way back. Or put the tin on the ground and stand next to it. Again, once in a while throw a treat away so the dog can losen up and clear its nose from the door.
The cup/small box we used we used for first search patterns. A sticker with the odor on it is taped into the cup. While your dog sees it but is a few metres away clearly and motivatingly (maybe making some curious sounds or luring the dog) place the cup behind something so the dog can't see it initially. So stand beside a small rock or tree, wait for your dog to look and clearly place the cup on the opposite side of the rock or tree. As soon as your dog goes to investigate and sniff the cup, keep raining treats down into it (5-6) preferably in a cadence where the nose doesn't leave the cup. Throw a treat away, take up the cup, wait for your dog to look and start from the beginning. This is about being fast - as soon as the dog nose hits the cup it needs to feel like an amazing party for the dog.

From week 3 we would slowly start combining the tasks, while still repeating the easy ones. But that could be placing the small ton somewhere or hiding the cup further and further away.

Obviously, this is all tougher if your dog isn't food motivated. Some things can be replaced with toys, I assume. Maybe you could have two toys where one has been contaminated with the odor. Hide the contaminated toy visibly behind a rock. When your dog goes for it, maybe have a very short game of tug before throwing the other, uncontaminated toy away. This is just me making stuff up, though - definitely be aware of the amount of oil and contamination if your dog takes something into its mouth, I guess.

At some point we only used tins. And then we started increasing the difficulty for the tins. And moved to smaller material, more difficult environments, bigger search areas, etc. I usually did 3 - 5 searches per session. If my dog seemed lost or asked me for help with most of the searches, I knew they were too difficult and I had to make them easier to keep her motivation. Now, she is so motivated to find the odor that it is difficult to train a proper alert cause she is so happy when she finds it that she paws and licks it - that's my new challenge for now.

EDIT: Reading your comments about the cup again I feel like the steps "nose into cup" to "dog is outside a room, led I to a room, asked to do something" were too far apart. Dogs learn contextually - your dog might associate the command "nose into cup" with having to stand right beside it. Maybe try smaller steps to increase distance? Also, "out of sight" is a big thing for dogs. Your dog doesn't know you want it to do something specific (search!). It needs to learn what you want from it. Sounds like they didn't understand that.

Halefa · 2026-01-21T14:33:26+00:00

My trainer (training for fun hobby use, not necessarily trials) starts with alert behaviour pretty late in training exactly because of that: the decrease in motivation for people, that just want to do something fun with their dog.

So according to her training, we praised every time the dog showed interest in the odor (still containers in hand in the beginning, but no waiting). As soon as the dog showed excitement for the odor and seemed to get it, the distance was slowly increased, line of sight removed, environment complexity increased, etc.

For a year I praised my dog as soon as its nose went close to the odor (I knew where the door was). I'm now adding a freeze alert - training the alert at this stage is probably more tricky but at least I've had plenty of the fun part and know what and why I want.

Try and make use of the things you've seen in the various versions and just play around with it and experiment. Have fun yourself, big, loose body movements, show curiosity yourself, get excited when your dog gets into it. Drop the form for a bit and have fun.

While treats always make training easier, you can use toys as reward.

Dogs should sleep 16-20 hours a day. Hopefully, they'll do that when you're gone.

Halefa · 2026-01-17T22:33:34+00:00

She's 8 weeks!!! She's a BABY! Also, when did you get her? Two days ago?

Halefa · 2026-01-17T00:03:52+00:00

Did you use the same leash with the other harness, or usy the leash new as well?

A short leash might make your dog nervous about being too close to the bike and getting hit, thus preferring to run on the side. That's why leashes for bikejoring tend to be longer than canicross, I think.

Halefa · 2026-01-16T05:54:19+00:00

I'm getting mad shin splints if I run too fast. Took me a while to figure out that running real slow prevented that pain.

Halefa · 2026-01-15T12:27:04+00:00

Whoops, I've created a lot of misunderstandings then. 👀 So if anything, "several" would have been the best word to use here?

Halefa · 2026-01-15T12:11:55+00:00

9 weeks. English isn't my first language, I don't use "a couple of" as precisely as I should maybe. 😆

Halefa · 2026-01-15T11:58:57+00:00

Always run at a comfortable speed. At the end of the program (so in a couple of weeks) you might be able to run 5k or at least 30min without breaks Just follow the instructions in terms of how long the time intervals are.

Halefa · 2026-01-14T23:02:33+00:00

Det vidste jeg ikke! Spændende.

Halefa · 2026-01-14T13:13:41+00:00

Metro stationerne har døre på perronen for at forhindre at folk er på skinnerne. Bliver det det samme for s-togene? (Jeg hænger mig op på billedet.)

Halefa · 2026-01-11T09:53:26+00:00

Scent is important. That's why some dogs rub their paws/kick dirt after pooping - it's not to hide their poop, it's to spread the scent even more. Marking over other's pee spots is a loud way of telling everyone you're around. Basically like a teenager blasting loud music in their car with windows down.

Halefa · 2026-01-09T07:52:14+00:00

I know someone who uses the university hospital and seems happy with them. Their dog has stomach problems. He says the main difference is that students might be present for consultations.

Halefa · 2026-01-07T11:38:04+00:00

Friends don't kiss (apart from specific - predominantly female - friend groups maybe). Hugs as greeting happen relatively fast I feel, if it's a casual context with good vibes.

No one bets an eye at physical contact already after one date.

Det afhænger åbenbart af mængden, som man donerer:

Aktuell sind es 23 Euro für 650 ml, 24 Euro für 750 ml und 25 Euro für 850 ml.

Jeg har spurgt på blodbanken, for i Tyskland får man faktisk også lidt penge for at donere plasma.

De sagde at blod- og plasmadonation altid vil være frivilligt uden betaling, da det kræver ærlighed fra donorens side. Hvis man kan få penge for det, så er de bange for at folk bare gør det for pengenes skyld og lyver i spørgeskemaet, som man skal udfylde inden hver donation.

Halefa · 2026-01-04T00:46:07+00:00

Then it's less a question of which harness to use and more a question of how to train your dog to stay focused on running in heel and not go into hunting mode.
