She picked up a bad habit from another dog of barking at dogs when she goes to play. This scares some dogs, and other dogs don't always wanna play. I'm thinking of using beeps feedback because she associates that with her shock collar. But then again I'd have to do it manually since bark collar would trigger if other dogs bark. Or I could muzzle train her, but I'd hate to do that. She's not aggressive just playful pup.

Is she really doing anything wrong?
>>
>>4957635
Not really, she barks and this triggers aggressive dogs to attack her. She's not aggressive herself, despite some puppy play biting and wrestling. I just don't want her barking and biting old dogs, aggressive dogs etc. Unfortunately these people still bring their shitter dogs to the park and make it my problem. Had an incident today where this lady couldn't control her two huskies because she was too weak and I had to pull them off my dog by the scruff of their neck. Had to recollar one because it slipped out and almost ran away.

Is the dog park the main place you take her? Is there anywhere else she can go, preferably one in which she can socialize?
>>
>>4957661
Dog park best place to socialize other dogs bro. I take her everywhere tho. Shes friendly.
>>
>>4957686
Maybe go to the dog park at a different time so that you don't see the other people you don't like.

Intelligent parots are mostly herbivores. I don't know if cannibalism was ever documented in kea parrots.

Orangutans and hippos don't eat meat very often but have still been known to engage in cannibalism occasionally. Same for gorillas, prairie dogs, and rabbits, which are herbivores.

prong collar has been the best investment I've made so far with my dog. 4 months of stop and go walking with a harness with and this guy wasn't learning that pulling means no walk. But still continued to pull, a week into a prong collar and he no longer pulls what a blessing.

>muh conservatives
just stop being sidebrained. obviously nobody is as bad as the magacult but a lot of liberals also oppose wolf reintroduction when it's near them.
But the reality is with appropriate countermeasures wolf predation isn't really that hard to manage for ranchers and the ecosystem services benefits far outweigh that cost. If part of an introduction program has to be compensating ranchers to build better infrastructure and (partially) compensating losses to wolves so be it.
that chart is also somewhat dishonest because obviously cattle losses to wolves has been severely depressed because most of the places cattle are raised in the USA have extirpated wolves, and wolves are far more effective predators of livestock than coyotes/coywolves. Having worked directly in this field, there was a big uptick in my local area like 5 or 6 years after reintroduction but then it declined again and balanced out as ranchers adopted countermeasures. Once the population is relatively healthy a rancher shooting one every so often isn't going to be an issue anyways.
>>
>>4957237
Ranchers don’t need compensated at all. The government is not obligated to protect every gay hobby. There are plenty of smarter, safer, more efficient ways to raise meat without letting cows fuck off and shit all over public lands.

Its like people who think their perpetually outdoors cats and dogs need the government to save them from coyotes. They need to keep their pets inside and stop being lazy, or just not have pets.
>>
>>4957240
In amurika, if you say "lets not sell weed near residential areas and schools, and ban selling crack pipes and bongs in gas stations" you get "but muh livelihood, muh freedom" complaints

Amurikans are therefore incapable of allowing democracy to take away their lazy mans farming hobby

Don gloves and long sleeves. Broom it away from any web. Block its escape and cover in a jar or similar. Broom the jar as you rotate it 180 degeess up. Fasten lid. Place jar in freezer overnight or longer. Empty jar into outdoor waste bin. Wash jar for reuse. Next few weeks monitor area for baby spiders. If they appear, call exterminator. If not, fergeddabouttit.

It's is. No one likes being near gross immigrants, the less the better in all circumstances. It's a type of pollution and Sydney is the most rife with it. 43% is a disgusting state of affairs that automatically negates any perceived positives.

The atacama desert exists because of the Andes which prevent regular rainfall as far as I know. It's really cool.

Cope harder. Any city worth anything is going to have some immigrants as trade off. There are more immigrants in Sydney and Melbourne because people actually want to move there. If even the Indians don’t want to live there then it’s a shithole
