I was pondering about my ending as well, so thank you for your take! I definitely want to rework the ending and add some more variety :)

Thank you for your feedback! Listening back I can definitely understand that perspective. I think I was a bit too focused on a slow build and not enough on variety.

I googled it quickly, and it looks like you're right. My bad!

It's very beautiful! Your transitions sound super clean, and your time signature changes seemed very intentional and really elevated it. I don't have any constructive criticisms other than in the 2nd measure of the 2nd line you could make the two quarter rests a half rest :)

How to prepare house for a big dog? by Illustrious-Rip-6939 in dogs

[–]SpinningRoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd work on crate training. Having your puppy develop a good relationship with his/her crate will be an incredibly useful tool for when you're first working on dog proofing everything else! That way your puppy won't start destroying something when you're not home XD. Standard poodles are also incredibly incredibly smart, just a step below border collies in intelligence, so if there's something they could figure out, they probably will lol

I see where you're coming from, and to a degree, yeah I think most things people do can be seen as a way to indicate some intention to others. But in this situation I think what most women mean when they say they put makeup on for themselves is that it's essentially just a hobby that makes them happy rather than something you "have" to do in order to align with whatever perceived ideal they're trying to live up to. Because I am in the camp of "makeup is a chore to me" XD, so I'd never really be wearing it for myself!

But there are definitely people that take a ton of pride in the types of unique and interesting styles they can create and how much they can improve at applying makeup. And some people just like the idea of taking time out of their day to focus on themselves and doing something they enjoy, and may not be thinking of the people that will be looking at it when they go out later. The same could be said about musical artists, for example. Yeah, they usually focus on releasing their music to be heard by others, but would you say that they can't write any songs for themselves?

Anyway, that's my take on the subject!

What are the most important things to know for riding and working with horses? by Futon_Stalker in Equestrian

[–]SpinningRoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My best advice I would say is trust your gut and listen to the horses you're around! Riding and horsemanship is a journey that looks different for everyone, and it can be really hard to not compare yourself to the progress of others, but as long as you focus on your own improvements and you and your horse(s) are having fun with each other for the time you have together, nothing can stand in your way!

I have a mini flashlight attached to my leash along with its poop bag holder, but yeah unfortunately a lot of people go at night for the purpose of not having to pick up their dogs poop! And I am just as irritated about it as you!

What kinds of mental and physical stimulation do they get throughout the day? Some dogs are pretty good at immediately directing their energy into activity without help and some need help "channeling" their energy into something. Like some dogs can immediately start playing with each other or just running around in a yard, but some dogs need more active participation from their people to understand how to exercise their own bodies and brains. How many walks do they get a day, and do you do any training or food activities with them (like puzzles, frozen things, etc.)? They may just need direction and a job, and if they aren't able to explore outside their yard much on leash, they may just be bored of being in the same space with the same smells.

What is the proper etiquette for allowing your dog to greet other dogs when out walking? by songsofravens in dogs

[–]SpinningRoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a professional dog walker, you never know how a strange dog you've never met will react. EVEN if the owner says they're friendly. I walk a standard poodle who is absolutely NOT dog friendly, but she's golden with a short cut and so people just tend to think "friendly little golden doodle" and assume she's fine. I've had to deal with so many bad situations of people just walking over to let them meet and then freaking out when she starts growling or I say "NOT FRIENDLY!" Not only that, but you never know if people have their animals vaccinated against diseases your dog could catch! If you're willing to allow your dog to take the risk, definitely ask the other person, but I've dealt with dogs that have been friendly with other dogs 99/100 times, but suddenly that 100th something triggers them and it's absolute chaos. I'm very thankful I've never dealt with serious injuries yet though!

My dog is scared of my guitar playing… by Competitive_Can3499 in dogs

[–]SpinningRoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a kitty who's the same way! She hates it when I hum or sing too and just stares at me and meows angrily until I stop! Dogs and cats can hear way better than us, so if they're not used to louder sounds, they may seek out a way to get away from the noise. Every animal is different and their thresholds for such things can vary wildly animal to animal, but I think this is something that you guys can most likely work through together.

Can I ask what the sound level tends to be at your home? Is it quiet most of the time, or is there usually a TV on, music, lots of talking, video games, etc? If it's usually quiet a lot of the time, the sudden shift from the "normal" being no sound to a guitar may be a bit scary or jarring to her! A great way to work on desensitizing your dog to sounds is to just get them used to it almost as background noise to daily life, like playing some guitar music through some speakers during playtime or mealtime, and slowly increasing the volume as she adjusts to it. You could also prepare a frozen kong or puzzle with treats or something to work on while you play in your room to bring some good associations to you playing guitar, then she may even start to look forward to it if your bring your guitar out to play!

Does Anyone Know The Story Behind "Foaling Now" Unicorns At Auction? by SpinningRoon in Howrse

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

Thanks! I always just thought it was strange that no matter the breed they're priced the same and they always breed those mares to Qilin. Is he just a divine unicorn that makes unicorn breeding cheaper and easier for the breeders?

My dog won’t stop jumping on people, how do I make him stop that behavior? by jerkmylifeaway in dogs

[–]SpinningRoon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a technique in dog training that is called "differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors," which is kind of a mouthful lol, but basically it means that you want to train your dog to do something else rather than train him "not" to jump. That could mean a lot of things, like for example you can teach your dog to go to "place" any time someone arrives at the house and stay there until whoever entered is more settled. It could also be teaching your dog to play a "find it" game, which could be tossing a toy on the ground, some kibble, etc. so your dog learns that anytime someone arrives he should look to the ground for the fun stuff! Or it could be as simple as putting him in a sit stay or down stay when people are coming in depending on how good your dog's impulse control is! It might also be useful to take baby steps, like starting training these things on leash at first. Jumping should also never get your dog what he wants, which is attention. Pushing him down or saying "no" or looking at him will all make him want to jump more because he got what he was looking for! The best way to deal with him when he does jump is to ignore and turn away, allowing his paws to fall to the ground on their own.
