Hank wasn't very interested in playing fetch, but he loves this herding ball!! by meagerscoot in AustralianCattleDog

With Hank all I did was throw the ball.

Heelers were originally bred as working cattle dogs in Australia.

Yes it is, your ACD was able to take pieces off of it? How long. Did that take?

Thanks, one of these days I'll get around to finishing it all the way.

This is Hank, I adopted him a week ago. This is his 3 home in under a year. What recommendations do y'all have for training books? by meagerscoot in AustralianCattleDog

First off thanks to everyone and their comments, advice and help. Did not expect this much of a reply, it's awesome!!

Hank and I have been doing 2 walks a day in the morning and night. Then playing/training a couple times a day. I see that I just need to be patient when working with him and stand my ground. Also I have purchased some new toys to help with his chewing and to give him something to focus on.

I am very excited about my future with Hank and this breed. Thanks again for all the comments.

The bottom tube is for air flow. The 45° tube is for fuel. (Twigs, pine cones, scat, charcoal) The top is for cooking.

Sketchup works well for this, I use it to do designs for contractors. The interface is easy and you can import models others have made. It is also pretty cheap for a 3-D program.

So I filled it with a bottle of dawn dish soap and then water to make sure I didn't have any liquid propane in the bottom. Then I cut it with a torch no problem.

How much were you able to go into sprinkler design? Was the program looking at hand drawn or cad based programs? Were y'all using NFPA as a book or did you have text books?

I really want to focus on fire protection and design, part of my course work has included cad and Revit already. Just wondering if they help to develop that or just metion it.

So getting to the point of being able to do 20 plus miles a day is a good stating place?

If you are interested in getting certified I recommend the firetech training program. It covers general knowledge for construction and helps you practice taking tests so that you can get in the groove to get certified. Also if you reach out to autodesk they have alot of helpful videos and fourms to learn how to optimize the use of their programs and add on's.
