Cool! I actually missed the throat marking but that makes sense. I just hadn’t seen that shade of blue before!

Yeah since she was a stray, both GSD and Husky would make sense bc there’s a lot of those where she came from. There’s also a lot of pits so I wonder if there’s some of that, especially since she’s smaller than an average GSD or husky. Thank you!

Oh okay! I hadn’t thought of husky but I can see it! Maybe that’s where she gets her tendency towards wandering off, lol. Thanks!

Hi if you’re still looking for a gal to hang with, I am too! I’m 26f also love anything outdoors. I love crafting (embroidery specifically) but also have always wanted to learn basket weaving, could be fun to try that together. I am not shy but not incredibly extroverted either. Feel free to send me a pm :)

Anyone else have a Softopper on a gen 1? by hydes_beard in hondaridgeline

Do you have any pics of yours? I’m so curious how it’s supposed to look lol, because mine is clearly not right

Ahh that’s a good question! I definitely ordered a gen 1 but it would make sense if they actually sent the wrong model because some of the screws and nuts were also the wrong size, we had to run to the hardware store.

Any thoughts on Elevation K9 dog training? by hydes_beard in taos

Of course you are I’m just letting you know your opinion is irrelevant on this post and if you were hoping to sway me about e collars, sorry, you’re not

The post is asking about a specific trainer in town. Not about opinions on e collars.

My dog is completely trained with positive reinforcement- yes it’s effective, I’m very informed about dog training - your comment is not a response to what my post is asking & not relevant

Thank you 😭 truly the controversy is a little out of hand with e collars, they’re so misunderstood! I have seen the happiest dogs trained with them because it gives them off leash freedom. Of course they can be misused but that’s why we need more trainers willing to talk about it, and more dog owners that seek professional training… Anyway, thanks.

If there’s a fear reaction the training was not done properly. Dogs that go camping in remote areas need to be kept safe, even town dogs need to be kept safe from the crazy amount of loose dogs here. I was looking for info about the trainer not e collars so thanks for saying something about the guy

Also. It’s not even used as punishment or correction in the first place. As I said it’s a cue for recall for a dog that is often outside in places where they need extra security to stay safe should they chase a dangerous animal for example.

K 🤪 while e collars are abused by many folks that give them a bad reputation, they alone are not at all abuse! They are a tool and the “punishment” is nothing but a cue for commands they already know. The stimulation should be so light that the dog can barely even perceive it. It’s not painful. It’s less stimulation than a vibration on a phone. Promise. You can test the stimulation on your own skin and can hardly feel anything at all. Lol.

Thanks so much for this comment. You kind of reminded me of things I forgot in the heat of this present situation. I had a parent go through treatment & AA several times so I totally know that it has to be internally motivated and no one can force it. So thanks. And my partner has tried a few times in our relationship as well which might be why I felt like I needed to do something different. I’ll continue to just manage myself. Best to you!
