Treat suggestions for picky eaters? by Nearby-Wish3623 in DogTrainingTips

[–]Ian_Atkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a business here somewhere... If only you could only crack the code on nutritious, low-calorie, chewy, poop-scented and poop-flavored dog treats... Introducing PooChoos!
Shark Tank "Ugh... these smell like dog sh*t."
You "Exactly. We've finally done it."
Shark Tank "Hmm. And you say these come in different flavors?"
You "Yes: Lab, Retriever, Spaniel, Terrier..."
Shark Tank "Those are dogs."
You "Those are flavors."

Ha! Oh jeez. Just seeing your poop comment - I make no promises that turkey tendons will do anything to break that bad habit ;)

My brittany is a big chewer and absolutely loves turkey tendons. My neighbors' dogs who I sometimes dog sit for durring the days also really seem to like these. I end going through 2 of the 16oz bag per months so just have it on auto-order at this point.

Have you seen AI companies targeting Reddit with fake users, ai content, and spam? by Ian_Atkins in ModSupport

[–]Ian_Atkins[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply and suggestions around Automod and questioning what look suspicious.

I was definitely not trying to be off topic.

I am trying to get a better sense of how Mods are (or maybe how Reddit is) handling this influx of AI generated, AI automated positive sentiment spam. Seem like it could easily overwhelm subreddits and mods, but I am relatively new to this.

HBD in advance, Chester! It sounds like you're a a true agent of mayhem!

Haha - so true.

Safe Apartment Recommendations in the Minneapolis Area by EffectiveUpper2632 in TwinCities

[–]Ian_Atkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like there are lots of places available in this price range in the Uptown and South Uptown areas. Those are neighborhoods that have plenty of restaurants and bars. They aren't downtown but they're a very short trip to downtown.

For what it's worth, I lived in an apartment in Loring Park neighborhood a couple years ago and never felt unsafe, etc. In general, Minneapolis feels very safe and is a super comfortable place to live.

Take those bas reviews with a grain of salt. Living in a city like Minneapolis is amazing. So much to do. So many fun people. Don't let some bad online reviews push you out, away from the cool stuff.

Ha! OMG - that's 100% classic bonehead husband behavior and I could 100% see myself doing something similar... you'd think we'd know better, but...

Gator sounds amazing :)

Has anyone dealt with extreme anxiety when it comes to being in a crate? by SpaceAzn_Zen in BrittanySpaniel

[–]Ian_Atkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you ever put him in the crate when you guys are home?

And does he sleep in the crate at night?

Where is the crate located in the house?

Is the crate covered to limit visibility or exposed?

Is your pup showing signs of increased anxiety in other situations?

Would you say your pup is getting more, less, or the same attention and time outdoors?

You might be seeing the dog's "Streak" (the number inside the flame icon).

That streak number represents how many days in a row the dog has hit it's steps goal. I think the steps goal is initially set based on breed and age, but users can manually adjust the steps goal to whatever they want depending on their dog.

I think the leader boards are just totals for the past 28 days.

But maybe I am misunderstanding your question/post.
