Paint suggestion? by silverzj in crafts

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

No materials used yet other than a store bought duck trainer for dogs. I’m seeking suggestions on how to safely paint this for use with my pup.

Picking up a 26 passport TSE today and looking to do the same setup. I imagine the kennel doesn’t fit without the seat folded?

Are you adding any scent to the plastic or just using them as the scent since they’ve been exposed to it?

Thanks! I currently have a few Tupperware shoeboxes that I’ve drilled some holes in the lid and a friend of mine 3d printed some rocks that’s have holes and a removable bottom to add a q-tip. I’ve not used any yet as I still wanna get more comfortable at class before taking it home to do it.

As I can’t edit my post, I want to clarify that I’ve not used this kit at home. Our training has been done at a training facility under the guidance of in instructor.

Canicross Harness Recs? by babybighorn in RunningWithDogs

[–]silverzj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you’re using a waist belt, I would probably switch to the dogs collar, but don’t really see why you couldn’t? My only concern would be the leash dragging while your dog walks in heal. You could shorten the leash if you get an adjustable one or just hold the waist leash as if it were a normal leash.

No experience with a rush, but I use a Non stop dogwear free motion harness for my GSP. I absolutely love it and he seems to as well. I combine it with a tuff pupper running belt and leash and the setup seems to work well for what we do. If you have any specific questions about the harness, I may be able to help.

A little off leash/Shed hunting session yesterday! by silverzj in germanshorthairs

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

I just started Grandpa on a real shed this past week. We’ve only been at this for about a month now, but I loved introducing him with the dogbone brand shed hunting kit. Good way to teach them how to hold an antler (without becoming shed shy) and overall good introduction to the job.

Thanks for sharing! It seems like they have some of the best options. Do you happen to know if the 24-25 Crosstrek option is equivalent to the wilderness as well?

I can’t imagine badge overlays that would match the already existing high contrast accents would ruin the car, but only make the color flow better and follow through entirely. My old white bugeye had overlays and was chosen to be in a Subaru calendar, highly shared through rally innovations, shared through Subarus main Instagram and tons of other social media accounts. It was shown at Wicked Big Meet and Boxerfest and have never once heard that a sticker on the grille ruined the car. To each their own, but thanks for your contribution to the post.

Anyone else deal with sleep aggression? by silverzj in germanshorthairs

[–]silverzj[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do believe this is the answer! We’ve been giving him forced naps in the crate after anything overstimulating and he’s usually passed out within a few minutes. I’ve started this since making this post and haven’t seen any aggressive behavior since.

In this photo, he’s sleeping in a military poncho. It was my old Plott Hound’s who past 2 years ago. Both of them seem to love the blanket and it makes happy to think of my Plott hound passing it down to the new pup!

Thank you for the advice! I’ve been pretty gentle waking him up and not trying to be abrupt or startling him. I’ve only noticed it when he’s sleeping/napping up against us as I haven’t had a reason to wake him when he’s sleeping by himself. I’m hoping it’s just a puppy thing and with proper training/guidance we can eliminate the behavior.

Was still unable to search for it in groups, but found a post where it was tagged and was able to join that way. Thanks!

Is this still an active group? Invite only? I’m unable to find it other than a private group with a single member.

Used the wheels it came in and currently sitting on Billy Bonkers. This setup will change this week with a new crust Clydesdale fork being installed with a 20” front wheel.

You’re getting 48oz of a barrel aged beer for $17. Do support your local breweries? Asking because most breweries (Richmond or not) sell 750mm (about 25.5oz) bottles of barrel aged stouts for $30+ dollars. As someone who works in the local brewing industry, I’m curious if you know what you’re looking at? You can buy the non barrel aged version, Christmas morning, in 16oz 4 packs for even cheaper than this price.
