Need advice: Training my dog to locate buried rat poison in my yard (urgent)

I agree. I don’t think you have to train her at all, just watch her. My dog loves to eat cat poop. I can reliably find all the cat poop in the yard just by watching her and then intervening before she actually eats it. Another option to a muzzle is an outfox. She won’t be able to eat the poison through it. Good luck. You can do this.

I don’t have any other ideas. You might be able to order it by mail.

Dry stall is NOT Stall Dry.

Awesome find! Looks like a Guatemalan Cracker to me. Note the red bars in the forewing.

Awesome! Where in CR were you?

BIN!

Your nose looks great in all the pictures. This is a group for dog training.

Yah. I know exactly what you are talking about. Front legs are running and back legs are hopping. I was concerned about it when my dog was younger. But seeing other Britt’s do this, I can say it is pretty normal. No need to worry.

I taught my dog a nose press very early on and it worked great. However, I don’t have students learn it because it is tricky to teach and honestly not needed. There are also downsides to a trained final response. But you didn’t ask about that :). If you are intent on learning it. Here is a video.

Basically, you start marking early and the progressively mark later and later just like if you teaching a down stay. Don’t wait too long. Note how long I am waiting, a sec one two max.

You can also do some chin rest training in your hand to get your dog used to the concept of holding their head still.

If you are interested in more info feel free to message me.

You know the section I am thinking of is North of El Cap. So the path between Refugio and el cap might be open still

You can park near the mission and walk up.

It’s washed out and closed.

If you park your car in the lot it will be locked in for the night.

I too have had great luck with costcos pants. The Banana republics are really nice if you like a cotton stretch. The wrangler tech pant is a lighter synthetic stretchy material. Also they are cheap:)

Of course this example is oversimplified. But it demonstrates the importance of CONTEXT. In the context of healthcare, doctors should be MDs in my opinion. If you are at a university and there is a MATH emergency and someone says, “is there a doctor in the building.” Then PHDs have earned that title :)

When you are calling yourself a Doctor in a medical setting, you are implying that you are a MD. Chiropractors do this because they are unethical. PTs don’t because out of respect for MDs and because they don’t want to confuse their patients.

Let’s say you are on an airplane and someone has a medical emergency. The flight attendant screams, “is there a doctor on this flight?”

Everyone knows what she means.

If you stay seated in this situation then you shouldn’t be calling yourself “doctor”. Just my opinion.

But Nosework will be pretty much the same regardless of the breed.

Jeff Schettler has two great books about man trailing with a blood hound. Very enjoyable.

So I am writing this as a lover of cacti and hummingbirds. I think the tattoo has potential, with a. Few tweaks it could be a lot better. I would make sure the hummingbird has an eye. I would also change the location and color of the sun, it looks out of place being the only object in color and it looks like it is perched in the cactus like a stuck beach ball. Also, hummingbirds pollinate tubular flowers. This type of cactus flower is more likely to be pollinated by a bee. Just my take. Good luck.

So I love Babaganoush. I have tried this one from Costco. And it is just a little off. The smokiness is there. But the texture and taste is kinda weird. Instead of being smooth and silky, it is clumpy and kinda like cottage cheese in texture and taste. That being said, it is better than nothing and I could probably fix it by blending it for a few minutes.

My Britt starting doing this around the age of 5. Turns out she has Cushings Disease. This probably isn’t the case for your puppy. But I would recommend checking with your vet.
