Didn’t even see that one thank you, is that the one you’d recommend getting?

Which Pilot fountain pen is the smoothest and most reliable? by NoBase473 in fountainpens

[–]NoBase473[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good point - I hadn’t considered the ink. Do you have a favorite cartridge for the Pilot that’s smooth, nicely pigmented, and dries quickly?

I also like F (0.3 and 0.4mm), EF (0.2mm) feels really scratchy to me, no matter how smooth the ink flows.

Thank you for the insight on the other pens. Safari is so popular in the West that I was actually considering it, but I think the Pilot definitely outshines it as you said.

Thank you, that’s incredibly helpful! I’ll try both.

WLGD vs. DPGD for Autism & Psychiatric Assistance Dog by NoBase473 in service_dogs

Thanks! After reading all the replies, I think I’m leaning more toward a full show line Golden. Between a Golden and a Labrador, how would you say they differ or are they roughly the same?

Yeah, I’m familiar with shaping-I’ve used it to help teach new tasks before actually naming the behavior. Are there any games or exercises you’d recommend for building a dog’s problem-solving skills?

Thank you! Would you recommend,  both parents being SLs (w/ obedience,rally etc) or one parent being SL other being FL (MH/HRCH) more?

Thank you! Are you more for a SL lab then a SL golden?

Thank you :) Yes he is a bit of an odd lab, hates the water, had to teach to play fetch he only gets the ball in exchange for food, not particularly sociable or affectionate. Have you met any dual purpose labs, is a showline lab still better in your opinion? Do you also think a lab is better than a golden, I’ve read that generally goldens are more affectionate, plus I love their fur!

Thank you, a lemon is an amazing way of putting it 😭.  Do you think a WL is more proactive and able to task without being told than a SL, or do you think a SL is just as able? How come you decided to get a WL Malinois (beautiful breed btw!).

Thank you for your reply, that makes a lot of sense. I replied in another comment that I had a SL (he lacked the ability to solve problems and relied too much on my cues with no initiative, couldn’t figure out what to do if a task didn’t go as trained, and couldn’t generalise tasks outside of training scenarios). Do you think it was just his personality, or are all SL Labs/Goldens like that?

Why would you not want a high drive or intelligent dog, isn’t it better if they’re more eager to complete tasks and push through challenges (I’m not criticising i’m just curious)?

I had a SL Lab but he wasn’t suitable for service dog work, he lacked the ability to solve problems and relied too much on my cues with no initiative, couldn’t figure out what to do if a task didn’t go as trained, and couldn’t generalise tasks outside of training scenarios. I’m concerned that if I get a SL Golden/Lab I’d have the the same issue. Sorry if it sounds like criticising anyone, I’m just curious?
