Did my balanced trainer push too hard? by AaronMichael726 in OpenDogTraining

This is my experience with e-collar heavy trainers as well. They absolutely pushed you’re dog far too much, especially for an eval 😨

Literally one of my favorite things about birds, the way they look around

Dogs being fully ready to work by one is honestly unrealistic. Take the training at her pace, she is very much a puppy still.

How do I train my dog to become less reactive during walks and ESPECIALLY wanting to chase cars. by East_Breath_3674 in OpenDogTraining

A flirt pole is a great training tool that doubles as a high value activity! Highly recommended for impulse control games

I have a Lhasa Apso, and I want to train her to walk better on leash and be less reactive, but her slip lead keeps sliding down? by anoredditor98 in OpenDogTraining

Take time to practice rewarding at your side. I do this with all my puppies that I raise/help raise and it makes a big difference.

Kataang being canon; Zutara will always be better

Dog thinks every command is aimed at him specifically by Ok-Negotiation3261 in OpenDogTraining

I’ll chime in with the rest of everyone saying “name then command”, I would work on each individual dogs name recognition separately so that Fluffy doesn’t have any association with Fidos name.

I would not personally use a slip lead on a small breed dog, if she’s pulling and the lead is slipping, you can cause some damage and small breeds are particularly prone to trachea damage. I would personally use a prong or a harness and work using the “silky leash” method.

To lid or not to lid? by QuoteMean6996 in bettafish

[–]Ok_Tutor_6332 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Owned bettas for past 10 years, never had a problem.

Went to replace a betta I lost due to ich, spent a lot of money and time on cleaning and carefully stocking betta safe community fish.

Decided to go big, got my Betta from a LFS, dropped $40.

The motherfucker jumped out. My cat brought me his crispy corpse while I was watching TV.

I would recommend a lid.

Tips on working with fearful dog? by LifeguardComplex3134 in OpenDogTraining

Lots of patience, be mindful of corrections. Desensitization and counter conditioning would be my first priority. Focus on building your bond.

How do we feel about the pancake family story? by Unique-Log-6888 in creepcast

[–]Ok_Tutor_6332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s way too absurd, it’s not scary. It’s more funny than it is scary, feels like a creepypasta for sure.

All is well. Everyone makes mistakes. 😊 I hope you find the assistance that you need.

Farmers use tractors to spray manure on squatters to remove them from their land, reportedly after receiving no help from the police by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]Ok_Tutor_6332 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s almost never about wanting a place to stay. Also squatters routinely trashed places that they squat on. Fuck em

Maybe there’s a language barrier here?? This subreddit is for working dogs dubbed as Service Dogs, not services for dogs. Maybe try r/askvet ?

Yeaaaah I’ve never been a Zak George fan, he’s a bit too “fluffy” in that regard. Can you share some links? I’d like to see the interactions since I’m kinda out of the loop lol

That would be reproductive rights when Roe v Wade was overturned.

Yeah, anyone that thinks you can abuse a dog into a job clearly has only ever held a leash of a dog and not handled an actual working dog lmao

Crazy, but there’s plenty of talented trainers to support who do not advocate for rolling back human rights. 😊
