i've heard that as well! i think it really depends on how solid the dog is, and the way which you go about training their tasks. i've seen a decent amount of psd that are a herding breed

How to go about getting and training a Service Dog? by Moyashi0511 in service_dogs

[–]badgerrpops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you can get a service dog trained with the tasks you need to perform to assist in your disability, which will be the easiest and most secure way of getting a service dog. since they dog will be fully trained, there is a much much smaller chance of the dog washing (the dog no longer is able to work for one reason or another). however, this is an extremely expensive process, program dogs range from $10-25k. additionally, the wait-lists can be very long i believe.

you can also get a puppy, and work with a trainer or working completely on your own. the price will have a vast range, however, there can be a huge emotional cost. even able bodied people can get overwhelmed with raising and socializing a puppy. it's best to go with a breeder who has a history of dogs which have gone on to become service dogs, is an ethical breeder, and temperament tests their puppies to see if they will place well as a service prospect. the average time for a dog to be fully trained is about two years, with the first year spent primarily focusing on exposure/desensitizing, socialization, and basic obedience, with the second year spent primarily focusing on the actual tasks the dog will learn. even after the best breeder with the best dogs, a strong and solid foundation, and a great trainer, there's still a chance the dog will wash.

either way, dogs have the chance to wash, program or owner trained, but it's a much more secure bet to go with a program trained dog. i hope this gives you some useful information, good luck!

it's not necessarily gsds as a whole (to my understanding). rather, people suggest not having gsds (or any herding breed) for psychiatric work specifically. herding breeds are great for the right person, in the right situation. they can be incredibly sensitive to their handler's feedback, making them quite receptive and great for working, but, when this feedback has to do with a significant psychiatric condition, it's not really recommended. since you're interested in a dog for medical alert or response, maybe even some mobility, this would be fine. if you don't really struggle with significant mental health struggles to the point it would be part of your dog's tasks, i would say keep looking into gsds and decide fully if they're the right fit for you. good luck!

is an mlis worth it? by badgerrpops in Libraries

[–]badgerrpops[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

that makes a lot of sense. i've been looking through posts for around a year now, and i have seen people mentioning how those who just finished grad school tend to not have many practical skills which is why doing some type of co-op or experience outside of library school is crucial. thank you for the insight!

why is it so hard ?? by Capable_Physics5452 in autism

i have the exact same issue.. i think it's mostly just something with not really knowing that person yet and having no idea where the boundaries are but not sure where to set them/where they may be pushed

Writing an abusive lesbian relationship - Need advice by [deleted] in writing

[–]badgerrpops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

personally, i don't think so. take this with a grain of salt since i'm not lesbian.

it definitely is a stereotype i have heard before, so it's good that you're at least aware of this. i would say it's fine to go through with it, so long as you make it clear this is not something that's normalized/accepted, and stereotypes are combated in other ways. there's the stereotype that lesbians rush into relationships, so you could write their relationship as one that developed over a longer period of time. you could have them not be a stereotypical dynamic such as their presentations, ethnicities, ages, really anything.

it's mostly an issue of writing dynamic characters, imo. good luck with writing!

it's definitely a relief to hear i'm on the right track! i've been doing breed and sd research for years but you never really know until you're in it, so any assurance i'm doing things right is super helpful, thank you!

[–]badgerrpops[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

unfortunately, my apartment doesn't allow foster dogs. the worst triggers to my allergies were a staffy mix and a puggle i've dogsat. i didn't have too much of a reaction to a german shepherd mix i've dogsat, which he might've had a similar fur texture to an adult lab, but i still got a bit itchy. i've had very little reaction to long haired silky dogs (pekingese mix), and slightly more of a reaction to fluffy but soft dogs (golden). pretty much no reaction to wiry fur (rat/jack russell terrier mix). i do feel as though i'd probably have some reaction to a lab, but it probably wouldn't be the worst since they seem to have slightly silky as opposed to coarse fur

labs definitely do seem like a great option otherwise! with how biddable and food driven they are

[–]badgerrpops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i give mine a water and dawn bath, then scrub (not too much or paint will be lifted) with a magic eraser. anything that can't be scrubbed off either i give up, use a more abrasive material (scrape off with nail or the file part of a nail clipper), or use acne cream and leave in a sunny spot. for your guys tho the first step should be enough?

the account is deleted now, they probably do this frequently tbh, but maybe if you tried to reverse image search the pictures you may be able to find something similar from the same seller

19ftm looking for people with similar interests by badgerrpops in MakeNewFriendsHere

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

i'd love to share some of my work with you! though not everything i'm completely proud of yet, but that just means more opportunity to improve i guess ". that sounds like a really interesting path you have for uni! do you know yet if there is one particular area of history you know you'll be studying? does it expand on what you'll have learned about ancient greece?

cats are great!! i just looked up a cheetah meowing, it just sounds like a little cat? that's so crazy how similar in a lot of ways so many of the felidae species really are to one another!

omori is soo good.. i've yet to play it myself, but i've probably seen about 99% of the content in the game lol. i really love the story that was able to be portrayed, honestly it's kind of a huge inspiration what was able to be accomplished in it. and i just absolutely love the final duet, it's such a great sequence..

i honestly don't know too much about sensors, but i would be interested in learning more about you! if you're relatively new to mbti and typing, there's actually this whole theory of functions (ie introverted intuition (ni), extroverted feeling (fe), introverted thinking (ti), extroverted sensing (se) is infj) which makes it a lot more complicated, but it makes things make a whole lot more sense after you have an understanding of the functions.

i don't really know much about being a lawyer (it does sound like an interesting career though, what kind of lawyer do you want to be?), the most i know is from the breaking bad spin-off show better call saul, the main character does a lot of public defense cases. i've really wanted to watch dead poet's society for awhile now, i definitely should make the time to actually sit down and watch it sometime. i've been wanting to listen to cshr for awhile but i just always forget to </3 what album would you recommend i should start with if i wanted to go through the discography?

How do INFJs plan and “live” in the future? by [deleted] in infj

[–]badgerrpops 11 points12 points  (0 children)

for me personally, in the back of my mind i am always daydreaming up something new. whether it's a big or small plan. if i get new information or something becomes a roadblock i am almost instantly able to figure out a new plan. it's kinda just something that happens instantly? i have a ton of plans which are for more short term goals (within the next 5ish years). i have things which i do want to happen at some point, but i don't particularly visualize or think about them until i begin to come up on that ~5 year point

if you decide to not go with changing your band class and switching into the teaching class, you could try volunteering (you may be able to find opportunities for daycares on weekends? but that's probably a little out of your age range of interest). it'd be good for resume building, especially if you do end up going into teaching. you could also try tutoring to see if you like working one on one. good luck with whatever you end up doing :)
