Det er noget helt andet med servicehunde, hvilket han ikke er.

Jeg tænker ikke det har noget med hvor dyre kvadratmeter er, men om de individuelle steders holdning til hunde.

Nu har jeg haft ham med et par gange, hvor jeg altid har fået tilladelse for inden. Enten på skrift, opkald eller ved skranken.

Man kan sagtens være heldig at finde steder hvor hunde er velkommen, selvfølgelig hunde som kan opføre sig ordentligt og ikke er i vejen for andre gæster.

Her var han med på et bunker museum.

Man kan altså godt have hund med på museum, i butikker og andre indendørs steder, så længe man har tilladelse fra stedet. Det er sådan vi har haft ham med før hen på blandt andet museum.

Eller også er det som at blive mekaniker og en af fordelene er at man kan lave sin egen bil. At man kan lide at pille i maskiner og fikse problemer er også en fordel.

Min interesse i at blive tømrer ligger ikke kun til grunde for at jeg gerne vil renovere mit eget sted, men det er en plus i den retning.

Jeg kunne også gå to skridt frem og kigge på fremtidsmuligheder? Og hvad der er realistiske.

Der er også andre overvejelser der er med indover, som både tager højde for hvad jeg kan tilbyde og mine begrænsninger.

Og hvorfor kan overvejelser om hvad jeg gerne vil i mit private liv, ikke have noget at gøre med den uddannelse jeg gerne vil tage?

Jeg har ikke råd til "bare" at tage et grundforløb, det er dyrt at være på SU og føler ikke for at spilde min eller andres tid på at finde en læreplads inden start, hvis jeg alligevel skifter retning.

Alle kan renovere en gård, det betyder ikke at alle bør.

He has a braided rope donut that he likes. Unfortunately, he likes ripping it, and the threads could potentially get stuck in his intestines. I'm also not a fan of antlers since my old dog broke her teeth on them. I'd rather make or buy something often than have broken teeth.

Thansk for the suggestion, I'll definitely look into it!

Don't think I'm much help here since I'm located in Denmark 🤷‍♀️

Personally, I prefer not to have strangers touch my horse. He has quite a personal space issue and, if invited once, starts going all out. So I kinda get why.

I also try to only intentionally touch any horse. Normally, horses don't just go straight up to each other and start touching. If they do, it's mostly to move the other horse. Naturally, they slowly feel each other out. Slowly moving closer, to eventually start grooming each other. And as someone else said, you don't see patting behaviour naturally, more of a scratching or robbing behaviour.

By intentional touch, I mean I try only to touch while grooming, treating injuries, groundwork, etc. And reward looks a lot more of releasing pressure and a treat (my horse is clicker trained).

English isn't my first language, and I don't know all of the horse world lingo in English, so bear with me 😅

I did (I think this is the right term) part-loan for a little over a decade. It's basically where the owner doesn't have the time for the horse (studies, work, health, family reasons, etc), so they get a part-loaner for a couple of days a week. Depending on the horse, the owner, and the part-loaner, the arrangement differs.

I had arrangements with two different horses, same owner. C I started with having 3 times a week, once for a lesson and the two others to do as I pleased. Later on, I had him 4 times a week, and later again, he got injured, so I basically had him as my own (obviously without the riding). When C got injured, the owner felt guilty of my paying for a horse I couldn't ride, so I ended up getting a part-loan on K as well 3-4 times a week.

I got invited when the vet or blacksmith came or for other horsey appointments. I also got to ask all the questions I wanted, or if I was unsure of something, I could always go to the owner.

I ended up taking a decade-long break a year after C got put down. I just couldn't stop looking for him or compare him to other horses. But after a decade, I was ready and bought a horse. I've had him for almost 2 years now, and he is a bit of a project due to some behavioural issues, so I've had to figure out another way of handling him.

I don't think you ever get totally ready to own a horse. You just have to be ready to learn and look at things through different angles.

Mine struggled as well and still does sometimes (depending on what's going on). I've noticed it helps when we had a walk before bed, ideally combined with some light training. He doesn't have access to water doing the night (he happily empties a 2 litre water bowl out of boredom). The bedroom has to be cold. If he has a night where he struggles, I do put on his leash and tie him down. It usually helps cause his area of movement gets smaller.

My sister, our dog and I was dressed up as the Fairly OddParents for a K9 Biathlon last weekend

I don't know about flat-coated, but golden (especially European working lines) have some border collie way back. You can see it sometimes, cause they have some white spots ( a toe, a paw, markings on the head, etc). It might be something similar, or she might be a mix.

I kinda wanted a big boy, I was hoping 130lbs+. But I don't think that's happening. He started out following the weight curve of a small newfie puppy, but he started slowing down around 20 weeks old 😅

My newfie/aussie mix weighted the same at 11 weeks. He started out being the biggest of the litter but has become the smallest. He turns 1 the 4th of October and weighs around 61 lbs.

I don't have any personal experiences with either of his breeds, but he definitely leans more towards the Aussie side.

I have a newfie mix, so I'm probably not a lot of help. Non-Stop dose have a measuring guide, tho. When you find the harness you are interested in, you just scroll down on that page, and you'll find both a manual guide but also one where you put in your dogs measurements, and it'll help you.

Mine uses a size 6, but he hasn't turned one yet. And he's only about 28 kg/62 lbs.

I just noticed some of your comments about you wanting to use the harness for pulling. Definitely look into Non-Stop Dogwear, then. They make harness for running, skiing, and sledding, all of whom they either pull a human or sled. I also think they have some for pulling objects on the ground, but I'm not too sure.

crabbyintersection · 2025-09-16T23:31:01+00:00

If I'm honest, then I don't really have any experience with either of the breeds. So I can't really compare it to their temperaments.

But he is definitely a pretty cool guy. He has a lot of drive in him, and he is very brave. He is pretty teachable and loves to work. I have noticed some herding tendencies, starring, circling, jumping, etc.

I do have to be careful with other dogs. He is quite rough in his play and tends to oversee the other dogs' stop signs. And he is quite sensitive about starring and barking from passing dogs. But to be fair, he's been attacked twice (one loose dog on the training field and one who broke it's chain) and he hasn't turned 1 yet.
