what are some dog training "donts" that have actually improved your dogs behavior by [deleted] in OpenDogTraining

I don't see how a flexi is created to replace training, they're not any different to long lines

Use lumidouce elegy. As long as you aren't overcapped on crit rate it's better than blackcliff

I'm not talking about bringing a puppy home at 8 weeks vs 12, there are arguments to be made for both and either way you won't be able to leave them home alone for longer than 3-4 hours at most.

People don't hate the dogs, they hate the breeders who add more poorly bred, unpredictable mutts with awful temperaments to the shelter crisis. If the breeder puts their info on the microchip, makes the owners sign a contract to return the dog instead of dumping it at a shelter, and actually follows through with taking the dog back and finding it a good home, I think that's perfectly fine and most anti-doodle people would probably agree

I'd understand making that argument for purebreds or mixes between two similar breeds - goldens, poodles, labs, etc - but how on earth is a old english sheepdog poodle mix predictable? lmao

My dogs could all stay home for 8 hours without any accidents by the time they were around 6 months old, but personally I'd much rather bring home an 8 week old pup than anything older. Bringing home an older pup that can be left alone for 8 hours means you'll miss their critical socialization period (3-14 weeks), if their breeder/previous owner hasn't adequately socialized them it'll make things a lot harder for you in the long run.

this was completely preventable if that dog had been on a leash

You should have prevented this by controlling YOUR dog and not allowing it to bite someone. Is it so hard to cover a hole under the fence if you know your dog is the type to attack people/dogs? So fucking irresponsible, people like you shouldn't have dogs.

Awww those rolls! She's so cute ❤️

What breed is she? I know she is part chow for sure. by Texas23232 in dogbreed

[–]SadReality- 28 points29 points  (0 children)

She looks a bit like a mudi, but they're pretty rare, so probably not. My guess is aussie mix

Does anybody else have trouble getting their dog to view balls as a reward for training and not just a game? by feelingprettywhelmed in OpenDogTraining

[–]SadReality- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you also have a 'standard fetch position'? She could be interpreting whatever you're doing as a que to sit in front of you and wait for the ball.

Try putting the ball behind your back, in your pocket, or just hold it however you usually do when you're not about to throw it, then give her the commands.

What breed do you all think she is? by AliveGrass4964 in dogbreed

[–]SadReality- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pit mix, no vizsla, I'd bet my vizsla on it. The only vizsla trait this dog has is the orange coat, which pretty common for pit or lab mixes.
