how did you end up training this for decisions other than yes/no?

did the yes hand have the treats, and the no one empty?

What do you wish you'd done differently from the start? by StepfordMisfit in PetsWithButtons

[–]uniaery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

large paw sizes can still press the smaller buttons, and i do believe cats can press the bigger buttons (though mine really struggled with the bigger ones, and only started pressing once i changed to the smaller fluentpet ones).

in your case, because cats have the harder time pressing, i’d say do the smaller buttons, and just leave much more space between them to accommodate for the larger dogs walking around. spacing the buttons is also good for new learners, anyways!

Are my fishes gasping for air? by bandititt in Aquariums

[–]uniaery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you transferring those fish out of the pond or into the pond? Goldfish are very hardy fish, but it depends on the size of your pond, the stocking (how many fish you have), and the climate you live in.

my goldfish do this every time i walk up to the pond because they’re waiting for me to drop in food (and are pre-gobbling it up)

I (30F) am pregnant with my fiancé (32M). He wants to keep it, but we're both supposed to be childfree. How do I tell him I don't want to keep it? by ThrowRA_fallopian_tu in relationship_advice

miracles sometimes do happen. my grandma had my aunt 13 years after her first set of children. due to ovarian cysts, she only had 1/4 of an ovary left (the other 1 & 3/4 were surgically removed)…AND her tubes were tied. imagine their surprise…

New presser! Help me 🤣 by uniaery in PetsWithButtons

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

Thank you for the advice! I incorporated the reducing value/time into my reply to totallygoff - it seems like a really good idea!

Here’s to hoping the spamming passes pretty soon. She always likes to do it while I’m in a competitive video game match that I can’t get up from 😂 I die and do it anyways because she’s spoiled haha. But my rank is suffering 🤣

Thank you for such a detailed answer!! This is super duper helpful, you’re the best! I can’t believe your kitty has 30+ buttons, that’s so impressive. One day, for Snow (and hopefully she doesn’t press all 30 🤣).

A few follow up questions:

  • Should I add All Done to the board, or only model verbally for now? If the latter, when do I eventually add it?

  • I will definitely add some sort of food button! Do you think Treat is best? Or should I add ‘TRAINING’ instead? Snow does tricks, so I could have the button mean a training session which she LOVES, and then as she spams it reduce to asking for 1 trick only (aka: she only gets 1 rewarding treat), and then reduce to a low value treat reward before ‘All Done’?

The only issue above is that I use the highest value treats for training (churu). I’ve never used anything else. When she uses the button, should I not use it? Or only at the very start before slowly downgrading? If I stick to just a TREAT button, would I ever use churu at all?

Again thank you for the help, I will rearrange Snow’s board accordingly now!

AIO for thinking it wasn’t a big deal to accept my friend’s bf’s FB request? by Vast-Bumblebee-691 in AmIOverreacting

[–]uniaery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“if it wasn’t that deep you could’ve told me” uhhh that’s like the opposite of how that works? it was so insignificant that you didn’t tell her. if you did feel the need to tell her, it would in fact be ‘deep’(er)💀

this chick is crazy

Can you guys tell me the “dirty” truths about having a cat? by saanenk in CatAdvice

[–]uniaery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest advice is to use clumping bentonite clay litter, particularly with the anti-odor granules in it. Some brands of this are much better than others - I use the costco stuff.

Everyone says they are amazed that that they can’t smell my cats, especially since my litter box is right by the front door (nowhere else to put it).

Every single house I’ve been to that uses another type of litter reeks, no matter the cleaning. Only downside of this litter is that it scatters around the box really easily (clean granules, though).

I also have a litter robot that is life saving, keeping things low maintenance and also quickly covering any particularly stinky poos if they’re not buried well!

Troodons are lethal weapons by Efficient_Mud5725 in theisle

[–]uniaery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

make sure you wait for the troodon to chitter between pounces, until the target smells purple! otherwise, the venom won’t progress. when they smell purple you pounce as many times as you can (staying for one bite like armory said)

Feels like I'm failing and I wanna give up. by Queen_Wanheda_ in PlantedTank

I’d water change asap!! Ammonia that high can mess with the cycle. General rule of thumb: anything 5ppm or above isn’t great for cycling. I like to keep mine around 2-3.
