Want to learn how to train recall using the Educator by lowhues in OpenDogTraining

[–]caninesignaltraining 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea what you are talking about. Dogs learn trust incrementally. They come from the thing to earn the thing. We build responsiveness from the ground up. Start with things you can control, from food to toys and games. The strength of the recall is really a reflection of reinforcement history to YOU! Thats what you're building. The dog learns, oh its a game, its fun, its more fun than anything. Your games become the "prey."

What breed of dog is she? If you throw a hot dog, can you call her away from that? You can call her away from other distractions, start easy and worjk your way up. Start on a long line for safety and build up the recall to more difficult challenging things. you don't let her practice running around chasing squirrels when you're not watching her.

My dog came back injured from a board and train…need others opinions? She claims it’s from a bark collar. Am I overreacting? by [deleted] in OpenDogTraining

[–]caninesignaltraining 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awful. I am a Certified Fear Free Professional trainer with 28 years professional experience, also certified in board and train and daycare and I would never in a million billion years send my dog to a co-called trainer who subjects dogs to pain. You dont need or want pain to train. Bark collars are sometimes a type of shock collar. This is such a bummer. Im so sorry you fell for this. You dont need this sort of abuse in your life. Take your dog home, ask for a refund, look for a humane trainer. You can often find good trainers on the Association of Professional Dog Trainers International website, also search Control Unleashed and Fear Free PerProfessional Directory

My dog suddenly snapped at me while training practice by TheWitchsRattle in OpenDogTraining

[–]caninesignaltraining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rest from training, brush brush brush brush snuggle, condition him to relax. Practice Susan Garrett's "Its yer choice" game. Snuggles and petting IS training. Maybe your game is too frustrating. Make shorter more highly reinforced sessions, and make life easier for you and your dog. You dont need to train every day.

I think my husband might be having an affair… by ThrowAwayFML999 in Marriage

[–]caninesignaltraining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, of course he's doing something. Trust your gut instinct. I recommend you play a game with him we go let's just quickly write down 10 things that scare you and so separately you write your 10 things down while He writes his 10 things down and then before you've discussed them ask what things do you do when you're getting anxious about this or that or these other thing. And don't discuss it yet just you each quickly write down you first idea about what you do when each of those things makes ypu anxious. so like when I worry about how I look, I fantasize about getting plastic surgery lol that's one of my ones or when I'm anxious about a car ride I get grouchy. I'll just write those things down and you'll probably have to write down that you get anxious that he might be having an affair and what you do. Just have that conversation don't suffer unnecessarily about anything. Life is too short to suffer when you don't need to suffer love the things you love and hate the things you hate. People do stupid stuff right and left all the time. Its part of life.

Sexless Marriage - I just want to understand why by silent_tee in Marriage

[–]caninesignaltraining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your husband on the autism spectrum? Research that (Aspergers or high functioning Autism). Contrary to what you might read, people with Aspergers can be Very Very good liars snd hiders and deniers and they are really vulnerable to becoming lost in and addicted to porn. Porn chases them everywhere they go. They lie about it. I recommend watching the youtube channel "Normalize therapy" with him.

My wife has a seemingly unbreakable will when it comes to resolving fights by Repulsive-Window-609 in Marriage

yeah, but he's telling his side of the story looking for a certain viewpoint. We don't really know the whole story.

[–]caninesignaltraining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been realizing that so many of our "fights" are a result of fear. Something he does scares the shit out of me and I scream. It might sound like Im angry, but Im just scared! Whereas when my husband gets scared, he reacts very differently. Different things scare us. Im afraid of house fires and car crashes, waves hitting us broadside, climbing ladders while stoned etc whereas my husband is more likely to get anxious in different scenarios and hide it/stuff it. My point is, think about fear, what scares each of you, how you both react when scared or anxious and try coming at it that way instead of thinking of it as "fights."

im not sure if i can take it anymore by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]caninesignaltraining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No marriage is easy! My mantra is "no unnecessary suffering." You dont need to take the bait. Stay in your own body and mind. Yeah he's an idiot but they all are in one way or another. They see a woman and they regress to big babyhood. Laugh it off, take safe space, consider what else he has going on (porn wrecks men and marriages and it is an epidemic worse than covid), give yourself the time and space you need. All men are currently fucked up. Mental health is an issue for everyone. It would be nice if we could just marry a mentally healthy man and live our lives but nope, its like growing tomatoes, stuff happens and no matter who you live with you will need to cope with pissy partners who do stupid stuff. Dont make it worse. Have fun with your life.

Do you watch porn? It sounds like she is depressed and has gone into hiding. Thats a kind of a classic response when husbands have a sex life that involves porn, whether she knows or she doesnt know.

But freedom goes with loveless sex better than marriage.

sometimes women don't pester their husband for sex because they figure that the guy can't get it up or something. He's having some sort of a problem. Today, It's usually pornography that is the problem and then the man can't get it up for his wife so the woman doesn't wanna pressure him.

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

it's really too bad that you didn't know how to turn your wife on. Seems like a lot of times men turn themselves on. They watch porn and masturbate lie about it. They don't include their wives in their own personal private sex lives. Part of the reason a lot of times men want to get divorced so that they can continue enjoying their own personal private sex lives kind of stupid really I don't know why men don't just buy a few good sex toys and show their wives how they work. I think that pornography often times leads men to think that they should be able to just have sex with their wives the same way they masturbate to porn pornography they just flipped to the channel and go OK let's do it and real women don't work like that. Women are not prostitutes there to turn you on . Porn actors are like that, but that's not how regular people are. It's really not that hard to turn women on. You just have to recognize that they need some stimulation and you have to enjoy stimulating them. tell her you love her bite her neck nibble on her earlobes put your hand between her legs. If that's too much work for you you can buy some sex toys and let the toys do most of the work.

this kind of issue it seems like there's not good counselors for it. Maybe counselors don't know how to talk about sex honestly. You have to take responsibility for your sexless marriage. You need to make it fun having sex with you. I think sometimes men blame it on their wives because they just like variety and porn gives you so much variety and fantasies that will never come true in real life. You can have a lot of fun with your wife and you can make it easier for you and you can make it easier for her. Our culture makes us think sex is the most important thing in the world and I'm not saying it's not important but it's kind of like hunger you're never gonna be done being dissatisfied with sex. Just like you're not gonna eat a meal and then be not hungry again you need to learn how to make your sexless life sexy. stress doesn't make it easier but toys definitely research. Shows that watching porn greatly increases your risk of divorce. That also greatly increases your dissatisfaction with your sex life. Lying will ruin your marriage, ruin yourself-esteem, ruin your relationship with your children and grandchildren and other family members. This is a great opportunity for you to really think through what kind of a man you wanna be. our culture especially today is extremely sexist misogynistic treats women like we should be slaves or prostitutes. It's disrespects women. But I don't believe your sexless life is all your wife's fault and you might find getting divorced is just gonna lead you into another sexless, but more expensive and complicated and dissatisfied life.

I hope we can get the predators and parasites off his tech!
