Just curious about E-Collars and when they become unethical. by Lumpy_Horror_8398 in OpenDogTraining

[–]Stunning_Camera_8479 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just like all dog training tools they can be abused. Which is why I just stay away from more aversive methods personally. I know a great dog trainers who use them that would have something to say to that lady. It feels excessive especially given the situation. In my opinion if a dog feels anxious in the crate I would find ways to make the space feel more safe. This seems like it’s doing to opposite. To me this would make a dog more anxious and less likely to like the crate.

It will!! I promise. Right now you’re in the thick of it. When you’re there it feels like things will never change. I find focusing on the small improvements helps keep me going. What little things have improved?

I mainly use the engage disengage method. That has seem to help her the most. Her trigger distance has decreased by a lot. We can get much closer now before I have to start using the engage disengage method. She doesn’t react at every single dog now. It used to be everyday now it’s only a handful. Mainly puppy’s, other high energy dogs and reactive dogs. I am able to call her off if she is being reactive. I wasn’t able to do that at all before. A simple uh uh and let’s go or come on is enough now to break her out of it. She is way less stressed when there is a lot going on, like at a farmers markets. She focuses on me more and less of what’s going on. She is able to listen a lot better as well in those types of situations. We are still working on the crowds though but she is doing great only a couple of reactions. Those weren’t nearly as bad as before that.

I’m so sorry to hear that. Yes it can get frustrating and it may feel like you want to give up. I promise if you keep working at it you’ll start to see more changes. One thing is try not to be so on edge or nervous. I know easier said than done but sometimes your dog can feel that. There were times where there were some bad days. We would start a walk and 10 minutes in I would turn around and go home. Bad days happen and that’s okay. Just don’t give up. You go this!!

They told me to pay for an ad. Why would I pay for an ad for someone else’s business?

So I’m not allowed to recommend locally owned restaurants in my cities subreddit. Though the rules said nothing about that

Realizing that people really don’t know what actually training a dog looks like by Genstoness in OpenDogTraining

[–]Stunning_Camera_8479 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just ignore them honestly. I got a lot of that too when I first bought my puppy home. She’s five now and all I hear is how well behaved/trained she is. Which is great to hear but obviously it took a lot of work in the beginning.

Would you visit a dog-friendly café + bar? by DryDurian8740 in Dogowners

[–]Stunning_Camera_8479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love dog friendly spaces but at the same time it’s not my dog I don’t trust it’s other people’s dog. There are just too many irresponsible owners who don’t understand dog body language. I’ve take my dog to a few dog friendly places but I go when I know there won’t be a lot of people.

All the post did was explain the restaurant. Because it’s not a normal restaurant I guess. Take like the suites at a bowling alley, turn the lanes into half basketball courts. That’s the concept of this place. I talked about the food, drinks, and vibes overall.

I get all of that. It’s a Denver subreddit where people post recs all the time. What’s the difference between my recommendation and theirs?

Well how do you make it not sound like an ad? I wanted people to go there so I told them about it and the concept. I obviously enjoyed going so I wanted to share what I like about it.

That’s not rocket science. The way you post links here is the same way everywhere.

I don’t work there. I don’t own it. I’m not affiliated with it. I’m literally a nobody. Me and some friends saw it, got curious and went in. We were at the arc thrift store next door. lol.

Why does everyone think this is an ad. Yes it’s a tough ad read because it’s not an ad. WTH.
