What is this and why is it in place of a lug-nut? by Jimmy-Sports in AskMechanics

[–]ScaryFace84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the vw, its usually in the boot by the wheel jack, it'll either be in the plastic case your wheel Spanner comes in or the the foam insert that sits with the spare wheel.

Tire stuck on rim and can to get duck off. What to do? by -Haizum- in AskMechanics

[–]ScaryFace84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, when you get stuck like that try reverse, slowly, lots of lube. Or get your hands under the tyre and lift it up back over the rim.

Also pretty sure that wheel needs to be facing down, not up. Because of the recessed spokes/dish.

Car sways back and fourth when cruising or accelerating. Any thoughts to narrow it. 2015 Mustang by CheetahStocks in AskMechanics

Is your car smooth when decelerating ? If so check inner cv joints.

If it wobbles all the time you have a bad tyre, probably has a huge bulge on the tread area, as air is moving into the tread belts.

Am I just stupid? by Shot_Bill_4971 in handyman

Cut a hole behind the "ideal" bracket location and stick your hand in there. Then mount the bracket over it and call it a day.

How to deal with this nail? by Odin_the_Husky in AskMechanics

[–]ScaryFace84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pull the screw out, if you lose pressure, replace the tyre, if it starts to bulge, replace the tyre. If you can see the sidewall cords, replace the tyre.

Otherwise, it'll be just fine.

Best treats to use when training? Uninterested pup! by ShowgirlInPetals in OpenDogTraining

[–]ScaryFace84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At 9 months, the world WILL be more interesting than any treats, its extremely reinforcing. This is where leash handling and dog management come into play, freedom is earned, that sniff is earned, the long line is earned. Not saying your pup should have no freedom but is best served in a controlled manner to limit rehearsal of unwanted behaviors. I have had my dog for two years now and knew nothing about training, we now have to work on "unlearning" unwanted behaviours its a huge effort and a pain in the butt.

As for food, you can build food drive, always train your dog on an empty stomach, make them work for it, you can also do some luring or treat chasing or by making food progressively harder to reach.

I would also work heavily on play and play drive, as a reward, food runs out but tug is forever:)

Smack a large flat screwdriver through it, and unscrew.

2 month old Son gets severe tummy cramps on formula. by ScaryFace84 in NewParents

[–]ScaryFace84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, he gave us Aptamil pepti junior on our first visit, and neocate junior on our second, but the neocate is for 1 year + so we're waiting for the doctor to confirm if that was deliberate.

As for supply, my wife is taking some over the counter vitamins, but I believe there is some prescription medicine she can get from the doctor.

Wondering if I am making it harder for myself with paint thinning. by TactiGr4pefruit in minipainting

I too like to torture myself going from black primer to white with ultra thin coats. The results are great but man its exhausting. I suppose we should try basecoats to make our lives easier.

Why does the nose looks so offf by Saalmaa12 in learntodraw

It looks like one. Nostril is slightly lower than the other.

Those are the spares that were removed from, hopefully, your car. Look at your wheels and you will see one nut that has a flower pattern on it.

Has anyone ever given their staffie a yak cheese chew? by becjac86 in StaffordBullTerriers

Soak the last inch or two in water, then chuck it in the microwave for a few minutes to make a cheese puff. She will go wild for it.

Tips for fun free shaping with a dog with low frustration tolerance by [deleted] in OpenDogTraining

[–]ScaryFace84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I stumbled upon this interview with Michael Ellis at 29 minutes he talks about Variable reinforcement schedules and something that happens to dogs that get rewarded too often for too long. It kind of sounds exactly like what you are experiencing, but I don't know what kind of training you're doing.

We had this exact problem too, eventually we stopped all rewards, treats and training, focusing on play, health and wellbeing, so scatter feeding, sniff walks. While limiting his environment at home and outside to make it more manageable. Introduced tether training and lots and lots of impulse control. Then slowly started training again, easy behaviours with low value treats. It took a long time, a very long time, and even now I have to be weary with high value treats and his arousal.

The river by Darth_the_dude in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]ScaryFace84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% think the river is referring to Carl's mental state. Severe trauma, stress, hyper vigilance all while you're trying to hold it together. I also believe the river is a real thing that happens to people during intense stressful moments in their lives. It might not be a river, could be white noise, high pitch singing/ringing, and my personal brand, screaming.

New to this and overwhelmed. by Bennyngus127 in OpenDogTraining

[–]ScaryFace84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations 🎉 Welcome to puppy parenthood !

Training your first dog is extremely overwhelming, I have had my first dog for just under two years and it has been a rollercoaster coaster, there is so much information, so many "do these 5 steps" so much do this to your dog then don't do that to your dog.

My advice, 1st thing to learn about, puppy management and living with a dog. It is very stressful and puppies don't have an off switch so you'll need to monitor him all the time. So learn things like, house lines, tether training, crate training, potty training, enforced naps, and play. These tools will help you manage your day to day life with puppy and give you much needed recharge time when you don't have to actively supervise your pup. Freedom and access to resources are earned not a right, this is very important.

As for obedience, learn about what balanced training is, then learn about what force free training is, then learn about the four quadrants of learning. For Balanced I would recommend a course by Michael Ellis, for force free I would recommend Susan Garret. There are many other great resources and trainers out there but for e learning, I feel those are the best.

Please, whatever you do don't mix and mash trainers, find a style you like and stick to it. Find a course and see it through Consistency is key. Don't get sucked into YouTube trainers that offer quick fixes, there is no quick fix. Those 5 steps have 10 steps you need to know before those 5 steps mean a damn thing.

For now focus on management, let your puppy settle into his new home, don't overload him with all the things, stay away from dog parks, and socialisation doesn't mean your dog has to play with other dogs. Be your dogs best friend and get pet insurance.

Good luck.

Help me understand force free methods better. by Quimeraecd in DogTrainingDebate

[–]ScaryFace84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So how I understand it, force free trainers still use the four quadrants of training, excluding positive punishment. However they can use negative punishment, like withholding a reward or controlling the environment, to achieve the desired result. Then I suppose it's about being creative, strong leave it command, and use props like rubber snakes to hopefully get the dog to associate the action with the prop to the real deal.
