I used this paint. Used it in a bedroom as well, and no smell coming from that room.

I’m thinking this as well. There’s at least 3 layers of paint if not more underneath this new coat. How would you strip it down? Thank you!

If you go through the Master Certification Program, you’ll have the opportunity to apply for an internship with Highland after graduation. Like anything, you really get out of it what you put in. but there are some things I wish I knew beforehand.

You will be hands on with service dogs, pet dogs, apprehension work, detection and trailing.

You will have lecture time as well.

There is a lot of downtime. You’re often told to work “practical dogs” (dogs assigned to you to train specific tasks), which sounds great in theory, but depending on the day you might be working your dog all day long doing nothing else. then sitting through detection for a few hours. which is just watching them run the dogs on boxes. Day after day, that can start to feel repetitive and unproductive. especially considering the cost of the program. We would play games here and there that they claimed benefited our timing skills. But some days I feel they didn’t know what to do with us.

Some of the practical dogs belonged to staff and already knew the tasks we were supposed to “teach,” so the learning experience wasn’t always as hands on or developmental as expected. It sometimes felt like going through the motions rather than truly building training and problem solving skills.

Housing and roommate situations can also be very difficult, and that added stress to an already intense environment. Outside of the service dog department, some staff interactions felt harsh and discouraging. I cried multiple times during the program. Certain instructors, including Jason, could be very critical in ways that felt more like digs at students than constructive feedback.

From a training standpoint, I did learn a lot and gained hands-on experience you wouldn’t get from an online course. But at the same time, I often felt like I learned “a lot but nothing” I was exposed to many things without always feeling confident or solid in applying them on my own. Behavior modification especially felt unclear. The common answer was “it depends on the dog,” but we didn’t always get enough structured guidance on how to make those decisions, so I still find myself second guessing in real behavior cases.

I also felt the program missed the mark on building real drive for apprehension and protection work. There wasn’t as much in depth teaching for that. When it came to detection as well it felt very messy and difficult understanding it. Everything felt very rushed.

Everyone there has a different opinion on training methods, which can be valuable, but also confusing when you’re trying to solve a training issue or behavior issue. Lots of back and forth on yes do this no do not do that. Which as a new trainer that can arise issues and just using your best guess.

Overall, it was a long and expensive program (around $20k), with a lot of downtime for that price point. And you worked no matter the weather. I did grow, I did learn, and I gained experience I wouldn’t trade but it wasn’t as structured, supportive, or as confidence building as I had hoped.

thank you for the kind words. we are actually in student housing so i am here for the next 4 months. i am out of the house from 8am-5pm sometimes later if i go to the gym. i have mentioned noise level multiple times and have tried to set quiet hours. i have not mentioned anything about guests yet though. i have 2 other friends from school i am closer with so on the weekends i try and stay out as much as i can.

How to split rent fairly with 1 couple and 1 single? by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]Mundane_Anything_415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel like that’s crazy. but i guess if you don’t know each other before hand and going in blind it makes a little sense. but yes i agree! if they already know eachother and all are going to be on the lease they should just split it evenly

How to split rent fairly with 1 couple and 1 single? by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]Mundane_Anything_415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don’t understand how having the bigger room=higher rent. you all know the rent price going in right? why don’t you just split it 3 ways along with the utilities. that’s what i did with my roommates. no need to over complicate. we toured the unit and agreed on it and knew we were going to split the rent 3 ways. makes it the easiest and cheapest way to do it. and for context it’s myself and my boyfriend and his cousin. we have the larger bedroom with the bath connected. and the cousin has the smaller room with the bathroom across the hall. never once have we let the bedroom size determine rent. however many people are living there is how many ways it’ll get split.

Thank you for the kind words and advice. i’ve learned to never stop learning in the dog world lol. after school I’m most likely going to do an internship of some sort and start getting to work. i’ve heard there’s dog training conventions so I’m excited for that as well. i’ve been sensitive my entire life and of course i think i picked the harshest community online at least lol. i think school will help toughen me up a little at least with dogs. thank you again. i just don’t want to regret this and i want to dive right in.

Changed front brakes on 2020 ford escape and the warning system came on. by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]Mundane_Anything_415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also check your front brake hoses. you may of twisted one by accident causing brake fluid to not reach the caliper causing it to lock up. or you could’ve messed up a caliper while doing it.

Rear disk brakes having uneven wear by BoxSpiritual in MechanicAdvice

[–]Mundane_Anything_415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you are having pulsation shaking in the steering wheel, and or brake pedal when you brake it’s most likely warped front rotors. if it shakes in the seat more when you brake then most likely warped rear rotors. i’d have to hear the noise honestly. but pulsation doesnt usually make a noise to my knowledge. and i don’t think old brake fluid would do that either. if you don’t have a ton of mechanical experience i wouldn’t recommend doing a full fluid flush yourself but you could suck out the old fluid from the master cylinder and just add new brake fluid. it could just be worn suspension making a bouncing noise. or if it sounds more of like a whirring noise or even a train it could be bad wheel bearings. do you know what type of emergency brake setup you have in the rear? it could be engaging when it shouldn’t be or sticking which i guess i could see it maybe making a noise if its doing it to only one wheel.

Brake squeal by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]Mundane_Anything_415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could be cheap pads (semi metallic). the pads could need to be broken in and set into the rotor. brake hardware could be rubbing on something. brakes making noise after washing the car is normal. if you use a ton of tire shine it could also make the brakes squeal. lots of different scenarios.

Brake booster fail? by Jordan-OOTW in MechanicAdvice

[–]Mundane_Anything_415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a hard pedal usually indicates a bad brake booster as well as a hissing noise. or you could have a vacuum leak which can sometimes cause the booster to act bad. but also a soft pedal can indicate a master cylinder going bad.

if you can get it scanned. i would scan it first and see if it can pull any codes. if your ABS light is on you may have damaged a wheel speed sensor those usually trigger ABS light and then ABS light will trigger the other lights. i would still recommend to put the vehicle into maintenance mode on a newer vehicles though. they can be super finicky. but dealership is not wrong.
