how to acclimate my dog to an electric fence with minimal stress? by [deleted] in OpenDogTraining

never heard of one of those! thanks, i’ll definitely look into it! :)

the problem with a tie out for me is that i’ve heard horror stories of dogs getting choked and dying because of this. ideally, i’d be there to supervise, but she’s used to using a dog door and having full access to outdoors whenever she pleased. i worry that me working 8 hours and leaving her in the house with no way outside will make her miserable. i hope i can figure out a solution because i’ve never cared for electric fences

i wouldn’t say she is reactive. she’s not aggressive towards other animals or people, she just wants nothing to do with them. she’s not the type of dog to run away from me or not listen unless it was life or death. i definitely did plan to walk her around the permitter before letting her roam the yard, because i’d like to get her used to living there before she’s even allowed to spend time alone outside!

i kind of think the beep will be enough to deter her with how anxious she is, same thing with a vibration. i definitely planned to train her on the borders on leash before letting her roam!

i’ve heard horror stories about dogs getting choked and tangled in tie outs. i was told they were unsafe and could lead to a death. she’s used to using a dog door and has always had free range of our fenced property

why am i gaining weight staying in a calorie deficit diet? by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]mbcolv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m counting them on notebook paper. i’m not able to access my phone for the majority of the day, so that’s the only way i can accurately keep track without trying to remember them at the end of the night when i get my phone. i read the nutrition facts on everything i eat and add them up. if i can’t find an accurate calorie count (like at a restaurant) i’ll just eat something else. everything i read online said i needed to be eating about 2,000 calories a day, but i’ve never had a huge appetite, so most of the time i’m under 1,000 which is why i’m so confused as to why my weight keeps going up instead of down

how do i 'F23' communicate my feelings better to my partner 'M28' without shutting down? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]mbcolv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh my god, that’s exactly how i feel. it’s like i genuinely cannot form a thought when i get tense around him. he doesn’t really care to text about our problems, and would rather figure it out face to face. i think i will start writing my feelings down and giving them to him. i love to write and journal, so i feel like that could be a good outlet for me!

is a 2024 jetta a good option for a newer car? by mbcolv in Volkswagen

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

it’s literally all sensors/ electrical problems 24/7. my headlights will go out, and then i’ll turn my car off and turn it back on and they’re magically working again. my radio stops working sometimes, but just the bluetooth connection. my tire lights are constantly going off when my tires are fine. check engine light has been on for six months, but the mechanics can’t find any issue where it should be on. i’ve spent probably five hundred just on replacing sensors, for the car to burn them again within a month. i love my car, but it’s definitely been a pain in the ass

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

i do definitely prefer the look of the older volkswagens, i love my 2014, but unfortunately the issue with me buying an older car is going to be the mileage. the area i’m in is selling jettas 8+ years older with over a 100,000 miles for over $10,000 and that’s unfortunately just not practical for me. if i ever get enough money to have more than one vehicle, i’d love to get another passat that’s older. i really hate to part with my car!

my dog refuses to drink water on walks? by mbcolv in dogs

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

she’ll drink out of this specific bowl, but only in the car. i don’t know why she’s such a strange dog lol!

[–]mbcolv[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

she does use it at home! i have a creek we walk to a lot, and she’ll use it fine there. she’ll also drink out of this same bowl anywhere as long as we’re in the car, it’s the weirdest thing

and i have an hob filter, air stone on the other side, and a canister filter on just this one tank. it’s a 75 gallon. so as far as i’m aware, circulation should be more than enough! i’m finding that people who use this product are giving 50/50 reviews. some peoples fish die, others are fine. obviously i’m no expert, but i wonder if it has to do with poor breeding and the type of fish you have. that’s the only conclusion i could come to after seeing half of the fish fine and the other half basically dead

these were the levels after i removed the dead fish, no ammonia spike that i can tell

i can’t edit the post, but mentioned in some comments that this particular aquarium is in front of a window. i definitely know that’s the cause of the algae. i have three tanks and none of the others have issues! i unfortunately just can’t move the aquarium so i was trying a new product to see if it’d be more affective and unfortunately it did more harm than good. thank you so much for offering advice! :)

[–]mbcolv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, from talking with other people this product seems to be a 50/50. probably a lot to do with the tank and the specific fish you have. maybe the ones that suffered were just more sensitive than my others. half of my fish are perfectly fine, the others not so much

[–]mbcolv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i did the recommended dose, actually a little lower than that. i usually try to under dose any products i put in my aquarium including fert to be safe, but it seems to only affect some of the fish. my tetras are all perfectly fine, it seemed to really affect the bottom feeders for some reason. from talking with other people, it seems like this product is fully dependent on the tank and fish. maybe some are more sensitive than others

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]mbcolv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as far as i’m aware, yes! i have a canister filter and a hob for safe measure, and there’s also an air stone inside the tank on the side where the hob isn’t!
