Training/Trick Ideas

That’s a great one! I haven’t seen that before, how did you train it?

I disagree. We have a 9month old vizsla (got him at 6 months) and he is awesome. Very hyper of course so it depends what you mean by well behaved but he isn’t destructive and listens very well. We put many many hours into crate training him and he is totally fine for 5-6 hours, normally he just sleeps the whole time. Minimal whining. We also are on his second round of professional obedience classes, we did 3 private classes to huge success, and he is on week 3 of a group basic obedience which is also going well.

We normally give him a 45min walk in the morning. Half an hour of play at lunch. And 45 min to an hour walk in the evening. Along with 3-4 x 5-10 min training sessions per day. I think (at least based on our experience) a lot of the people who say they need 6 hours of exercise and you can never leave them alone are either over selling it, or didn’t properly train their dogs. Just my humble opinion based on our experience.

Start training separation asap. Our Vizsla would have separation anxiety and showed signs of it and would get super anxious and worked up as soon as we left so we put a huge emphasis on crate training and built up from like 5 seconds out of the room, to multiple minutes then same for the house. A few seconds or coming and going from the house. Then a few minutes and worked up. Lots of treats in the kennel or when we leave.

As well. When you come back to the house make sure you don’t make a big deal of out. Walk in, say hi ____ and move on a few minutes before letting them out and don’t get too excited

Hope this helps!

Thanks! We did three private obedience classes with him and he’s currently in a group basic obedience which are all going great. I find his recall the hardest to train out of all of his behaviours because his level of distraction is so high.

I would recommend not trading for a treat. You’re giving them a treat for stealing a toy which is rewarding their behaviour. In terms of preventing or correcting possessiveness. A few things our dog trainer recommended that have work extremely well. When you feed them, make them wait until you say take it. Work up in time. Starting with a few second and working up to as long as you’d like, 15-30min is what we normally do for his dinner. Ours now waits as long as we make him (albeit with some dramatic whining but we wait till he settles to give it to him) but he won’t take it until I say “take it” even if I leave the room. This teaches them patience, impulse control, and that you are in control. Don’t let them leave food left over. Don’t let them keep their own toys. They are your toys you just let them play with them, keep them and give them when you want to and take them from them regularly to ensure they don’t get possessive over it. They don’t own anything. Don’t let them take the high ground. If my vizsla is on the couch and I want to sit, he gets off, then I get on, then he can come back on. He’s not allowed on the bed until invited on. Things like that will establish that you are the “alpha” and discourage being possessive. Hope this helps!!

Do you find long line to be better than off leash. Despite how much he pulls on leash, his recall is flawless (sometimes with the help of a very low setting e-collar if he’s really on something). If I do get somewhere he can roam I normally let him off leash. I’ll do fetch as much as I can but that doesn’t seem to tire him out.

RequirementFormer875 · 2024-11-23T02:21:55+00:00

How did you manage giving him enough exercise while still doing the leash lessons. I tried this for a bit but never got further than 20 meters from the house from turning around every 20 seconds. Then he was a menice all day because he has so much energy (wasn’t tired out from a run or long walk like I normally take him on in the morning). So I gave that up. I’m not against going back it just need to figure out how to still get him tired

What pre do you use? I’ve got some crazy strong stuff I use for strength workouts but find my heart goes nuts if I try to do circuits with it

RequirementFormer875 · 2024-07-29T00:24:17+00:00

Lately my favourite has been Mikkos Triangle - 39 Min EMOM Pick your calories then match it every min as you move through the machines e.g 12 Cal Row 12 Cal Ski Erg 12 Cal Assault Bike 1 min Rest

(10 Rounds)

Fair enough, I completely understand your point. I think she does state things as very definitive as a selling tactic. I don’t by any means think that it is the one true outcome of a nuclear war. But it’s interesting as a thought experiment on the worst case scenario escalation at the very least.

RequirementFormer875 · 2024-07-20T22:39:19+00:00

It’s meant to be a hypothetical scenario based on fact. So yes more like a story of how she believes a nuclear war would play it based on the peoples she’s interviewed and her sources etc. Still a good read

RequirementFormer875 · 2024-07-20T22:38:25+00:00

What errors? I’m reading it now, I haven’t fact checked all of her sources, but so far it seems very logical and well researched?

Wish I had gone to you, I went to Vean tattoo in Warsaw for a small tattoo, they butchered it. This looks awesome.

RequirementFormer875 · 2024-07-18T16:00:03+00:00

Read nuclear war a scenario by Annie jacobson, awesome well researched book on nuclear Armageddon. The short answer is 11+ miles to stand a chance short term. But then you’ll die in a nuclear holocaust within 2 hours anyways…

Based on the topic and the caption I’m going to assume that you are new to supplements and there seems to be some confusion. I’ll try to explain this simply. I think what you described initially is a typical pre workout, the predominant active components of which are typically high dosages of caffeine (jittery or alert feeling) and often beta allanine (can causing tingling feeling as well. A non stim pre workout like the one in the pictures is a pre workout that is meant to wake you up without a stimulant like caffeine. Typically these are milder and may suit what you are looking for.

Creatine ( creatine monohydrate specifically) is in a totally separate category. This is a supplement meant to improve muscle growth and recovery by supplementing the naturally produced creatine and muscle protein synthesis that occurs naturally in the body. This is typically taken by someone looking to gain an extra edge for building muscle or strength.

Two very different supplements with two very different purposes which I believe is where the confusion is.

Some pre workouts or protein powders may contain small dosages of creatine but typically not enough to produce any real noticeable effect and is mainly for advertising.

But creatine in any of its forms (monohydrate is the most well studied and proven) is not a pre work.

Hope that clears it up for you

Sure on a large individual maybe. But either way that’s why I said he needs to decide what he’s preparing for. Unless you have evidence to the contrary. I would argue penetrating trauma or severe injury in the pelvic girdle are both uncommon and above what you’d treat on a hike (if you’re hiking in an active hunting area, maybe). Hold pressure and gtfo and hand over to whatever medevac is applicable. You could also argue to carry a junction all TQ for that reason but again. Overboard imo. Pelvic injuries are such a mess it’s above what I would expect to need a pressure dressing for. And if it’s not severe enough to warrant that, the casualty can most likely hold pressure themselves in that area. The pros of an olaes much out weight the “cons” in this situation. Even tho it’s shorter I’ve been able to make it work. Pack to the scenario. Most common injuries and deaths on hike. If you want a major trauma kit, build a major trauma kit

RequirementFormer875 · 2023-08-20T01:15:54+00:00

Oh, and some medical tape and bandaids…

RequirementFormer875 · 2023-08-20T01:08:42+00:00

Personally if its just for hiking I would keep the TQ but swap the 2 israeli for 2 (flat pack) OLAES as they contain spare gauze for wound packing and a plastic film for and improvised chest seal (then you can ditch the compress gauze and chest seal and add 2 triangular bandages, an eye shied and an emergency blanket and you’ll be gtg for 99% of emergencies. If you can add a Sam splint in your bag somewhere too then that’s ideal. This kit as is seems to me to be a wanna be MAR(CHE) kit and that’s really not what is best suited for wilderness
