Good enough.

Any ideas on how I can train my dog to flip the light switch?

>>4826350
Just spit balling but if you have one of those easy to press big flat slight switches I guess you could spread a bit of peanut butter on it.

>>4826350
Replace it with a button, and then teach it like a combination of "place" and "paw"

>>4826351
>training your dog to lick electronics
no dont

>>4826345

I don’t understand this response. Is this a specific type of training or are you saying not to train a dog just bc it’s a family dog?

>>4826362
>not to train a dog
saar, there are trainers in the OP saar, do the needful and train the doge

>>4826363

Yes I did the bite training and the puppy started herding but it also seemed to correlate to the pup being much more confident and comfortable in the house.

I want to know if anyone has ever seen this and if it’s just the puppy being more comfortable to play.

First train it to paw target stick
Use target stick to have it paw light switch and give it a specific word command to paw the light switch.

You may be able to mark when the lights go on or off instead of just pawing the switch. Idk if dog would be to connect the two.

>>4826360
This

>>4826360
>>4826397
Well yeah but also you just shouldn't teach your dog to use your lightswitch unless you're willing to live with the fact that when they want a treat they're going to start flicking the light on and off on you

Is it possible to make a dog more comfortable with fireworks?

>>4826675
I’d say it depends on the dog. Its a generally unpleasant experience. From a distance its just noise. Were you looking to set off fireworks next to your dog or just kinda cope with them going off in the background in your neighborhood?

>>4826675
Crate them someowhere quiet, you can even sound proof a closet and shut all the windows and stuff around it so that it isn't as loud for them.

>>4826675
Not really. It’s very loud for them.

>>4826714
Coping. They get spooked on walks and it's impossible to get then to go anywhere after that

>>4826784
Start conditioning fireworks to mean that food is on its way using cheese or peanut butter in a safe environment. After a few days, open your windows to let more sound in, then graduate to your balcony/porch. Always let your dog retreat if needed and don't force it.

It's incredibly depressing to see breeds become fads and fill out shelters.
Staffies used to be a huge one and now it's kelpies, at least there are no niggers here so there's not going to be a huge wave of poorly trained rotties and cane corsos.

Been staying up till 7am every night to watch the Euros with friends but this little fella isn't capable of being as nocturnal as me so I get to see him in sleepy mode more often
Just glad I have someone to look after him in the mornings while I sleep till the mid afternoon

>>4826915
My american proto-gf comes from a family of rottie and cane corso owners
She's been bitten in the face by a rottie and another was put down for savaging her brother when he was a kid
One of the rotties owned by their friend spent its life tied to a pole in the front garden of a suburban new york shithole and getting pelted with rocks by kids and was just a total bite threat forever apparently
Pretty fucked knowing how many 'outdoor dog' owners there are near me even if it's not as bad as America

>>4827041
An unfortunate reality is that the breeds who need the most training often attract the sorts of people least capable of providing it.
I found my current dog at a garage sale tied to a tree with a leash with kids throwing sticks at him. I've had him for 14 years and he's been nothing but incredibly sweet. Could never teach him to play fetch though because of it.

After a long search... I bought a dog lads, met it this weekend but going to pick it up next weekend to allow me some time to prepare. He's a one year old miniature poodle. He doesn't seem to be super chewy in the few hours I spent with him, but, how nuts should I go trying to hide cables and stuff with a one year old dog? I imagine they vary but any thoughts? I'm talking like network cables behind my desk, some stereo equipment. It's not a total mess of wires but there are for sure wires around the house.

I'm also bringing chemicals up high and checking my backyards fenceposts - anything else I should be thinking about to prepare?

>>4827053

if he does just tell him not to

>>4827071
I wanted a small dog so I could take him to work with me easily, so I looked at a bunch of smaller breeds and decided on miniature poodle. The reason is their friendliness, activeness, coat (hair), and intelligence.

>>4827072
thank you! I'm excited. I'll for sure be asking lots of questions and will give an update!

Puppy took a turn and it's not looking good fellas, he was a bit off and threw up and not even an hour later he was shaking bad and drooling a lot. He's at the vet now and they're running some tests.

>>4827234
In Australia at least shelters are chock full of dogs, staffies especially, with absolutely no actual problems purely because of halfwitted mongoloids. Every country has its own variety of problems because human beings will always fail dogs.

My dog has been degrading heavily over the past 2 days. I believe it's worms, but I never knew they could act so fast. Yesterday he had trouble walking and could no longer jump on things, we went to the weekend vet and he recovered before we could see a vet (people kept coming in and they were triaged ahead of us).
This morning he was dripping blood after he pooped, so I took him back to the vet and they prescribed 2.5mg Drontal Plus (for tomorrow), Metronidazole twice a day and some flora packets.
Flash forward to tonight, he started losing the ability to walk and by midnight he is now paralyzed completely. He hasn't pooped or peed since his walk in the morning and I keep taking him outside and lifting up his back legs but he won't go.

Is he fucked? If it is parasites will he get the function back in his legs after they are expelled? It all happened so God damn fast and on the fucking weekend when everything is closed. I hate the veterinary system and needing a prescription to buy any medication.

I can't even have a dog right now but I like looking at rescues. Lots of kelpie's right now as well, the worst thing that can happen to a breed of dog is it getting popular.
The worst part is staffies are fantastic dogs, they're low maintanence, basically bullet proof and very affectionate. I can guarantee every single dog on that list has poorly managed energy and not a single other issue.

It's literally all just energy management dude, the same thing can be said for huskies and a million other breeds. If you train a dog correctly, socialize it and give it the right amount of exercise and play it's not going to give you problems in 99% of cases.
>>4827479
I don't own a pitbull.
Pound staffies with legitimate problems are euthanized immediately because they're overcrowded and they don't stand a chance of adoption anyway. The rest are there because they bark, they get out of the yard or they chew furniture. It's all just the behaviour you get from people who put zero into their dogs and are surprised when they get nothing back.

They have prey drive strong enough to apply to an adult, same size dog, and a dog does not have a magic dog-person switch in its brain as far as evaluating threat level goes.

A dog that has attacked another dog will attack a person in the future. A dog that is prone to attacking dogs is also prone to attacking people.

>>4827615
Because other breeds that are more numerous and just as abused and untrained if not more are NOT doing the same thing.

>>4827621
>Okay so all protection dogs are broken and should be destroyed by your reckoning
Strawman. I never said that. Protection dogs have a different, more controllable form of drive than a pit fighting or boar hunting dog. Same reason collies don't kill people despite having strong instincts related to hunting. They do however kill sheep sometimes.

>Uh huh, let's see the proof that those dogs are more untrained and that that isn't just something your schizo brain cooked up.
Let's see proof pitbulls are. You don't have any. Why would a pitbull owner be magically worse than the more numerous lab owners? Explain without falling back on your imaginary "pibbles r fer the negroes" fantasy because the majority of shitbull owners I see are the same poor white people than buy labs.

>>4827625
Proof is the pudding little bro, you just admitted that pibull owners are shitty. Labs don't need the same leveling of conditioning pibulls or staffies do.

There are a lot of breeds that are inherently more dangerous than labs. At no point did I argue any differently. In fact my entire argument has been based around the idea that if people didn't treat bullies like they were labs then there wouldn't be this issue in the first place.

It should be the case with all dogs, the difference is if you don't do this with your labradoodle it's not going to do a whole lot of damage.

but they're not actually special

sure, huskies are smarter than shitbulls and even more energetic
but border collies are smarter than shitbulls, more energetic, and higher drive
and german shepherds outdo pitbulls in the same ways

are their owners just magically better, or are pitbulls just inherently dangerous from being bred to attack large animals? you can figure this out by adopting an aggressive dog from an unrelated lineage: a karelian bear dog. it's the single most aggressive spitz due to being bred to hunt bear.

if KBDs were as popular as pitbulls, they would top the fatality lists because they are mean as fuck and will gladly go for the throat if a smaller woman triggers their ridiculously strong instincts. they're just a naturally aggressive breed. even if you train them thoroughly, you can never trust them off leash or around women, children, or other animals. KBD owners, unlike pitbull owners, know this. THATS what's different about pitbull owners.

out of all the people on earth who keep highly aggressive dogs, pitbull owners are the only ones that think they can love and train the nature out of the beast.

You need to have total control over a pitbull at all times. They can never be off leash. They can not be loose in the house if you have guests, or your own children. It doesn't matter how well you trained them. You MUST exert total control over the dog at all times.

People with other inherently dangerous dogs like kangals typically know this
Absolutely every pitbull owner refuses to acknowledge that their breed is so aggressive it can't be trained out

It's the owner AND the breed, specifically, you are a german shepherd type owner (just train your dog lol!) with something in the class of wolfdogs, working line akitas, karelian bear dogs, and kangals.

However where I disagree is the idea that dogs in a breed, and especially one as wide as pitbulls (which are in reality several different breeds) it really just comes down to the dog. Some pitbulls are straight up lazy, a lot of staffies have zero aggression whatsoever. That's probably just natural selection, plaicd staffies passing on their genes more likely than problem ones.
I don't even like pitbulls, I don't even really like staffies even though I think they're good dogs it just really irks me that there's countless numbers of dogs suffering because of shitty owners and mongoloids like the other cunt you're replying to just make excuses for them.

>>4827651
>it comes down to the dog
ALL litters have outliers, there's always going to be some portion of say, kangals and wolfdogs, that are exceedingly lazy and friendly.

But that doesn't mean the average for the entire breed group of primitive LGDs isn't strong aggression or the average for the entire breed group of "wolfdogs" isn't strong aggression, fear, and predatory instincts (but its actually 30 different breeds, wolf/husky mixes arent like wolf/gsd mixes bro!)

You can tell if your dog is going to be a problem with kids. Training out food aggression/toy possessiveness that sort of thing reduces the likelihood of incidents.
I reject the idea that "we had no idea this would happen", dogs are incredibly obvious with their triggers. People just don't vet their dogs properly, it really is as simple as that.
I've had a staffy mix for over a decade, never let him around kids when he I first got him because his previous owners let their kids throw torment him. Once I knew he wasn't dangerous and what is temperament was like I let kids around him and it has never been even close to a problem.
I will say though people just shouldn't adopt pitbulls full stop.

>>4827662
>>breed average is killing kids

What's your thoughts on IGP/Shutzhund and protection trained dogs? Like Shield K9, Ivan Balabanov's Premier Protection Dogs, etc.
In the working dog community there seems to be a push from the positive only dog trainers to stop people using prong collars and E-collars to train dogs. It's like they want to get rid of IGP.

>>4827669
People have no brains and can't handle nuance. You can use things like prongs and e-collars non-abusively with a dog. They in fact only really work if you use them non-abusively. The sentiment always seems to be either dogs can't handle a little discomfort or because some people will abuse their dogs nobody should be allowed to use them.

>>4827684
I don't think you should use a prong on any old dog for any old reason. The best dog trainer I know personally is retired and adopts showline German Shepherds that are wonky, he does prong training and once they're done they live off leash forever. Those dogs have no problems because they're handled correctly.
I know most of the people here are autistic but they have to at some get that when people talk about things they're not always talking about your quirky Australian shepherd.

Yes yard is fenced and I have a route I try walking it through but it a chore as it wants to get back in the house.

I walk a part of it, puppy pulls, I make like a tree till it gives up and sits, call it to me, repeat. Been 2 weeks and it still hasn’t walked the route gingerly without encouragement.


He’s very submissive to me, but has excellent body language in the house. Vacuum and kids don’t phase it. It’s just outside. I live in a very hot climate, so maybe that’s part of it, but it definitely seems fearful outside.

A neighbor turned on an air compressor this morning and it bolted back inside. Air compressor is quieter than my vacuum and was a few houses away.

PPDs are a liability that people keep for show. Any criminal with an IQ above 85 is going to brain the dog with something in the "pipe" class of weapons, with or without explosives and they are ridiculously likely to turn on their owners when overstimulated or experience an inevitable lapse in their 24/7 training. They're more functional in brazil than in the first world, but here criminals are either smarter or armed.

Pitbulls are a high risk breed similar to a kangal that can NEVER be trusted to be "trained right"

>The best dog trainer I know personally is retired and adopts showline German Shepherds that are wonky, he does prong training and once they're done they live off leash forever
German shepherds have been bred for almost a century to just submit to pain and obey instead of experiencing more dramatic fallout

>>4827691
I'm pro-ppd too but don't like shitbulls. I have seen too many videos of them attacking kids and other peoples dogs. Plus they're 67% of all dog bites or whatever the number is.
Nobody in this thread knows what I'm talking about when I say "protection dog". No I'm not talking about some nigger who made a dog aggressive by abusing it and sold it to you. I'm talking about top tier, top genetics protection dogs from working line breeds who were bred specifically for that purpose and to be safe with your family.

Categorically wrong

Shitbulls get a bad rep because they're not trained right or treated how they should be. I don't blame people for not liking them, nor would I advocate for trusting them. The issue is that people take something common sense like "that pitbull is probably dangerous" and expand that to be "pitbulls are a broken breed" because people are retarded and incapable of nuanced thought.
I personally really like Dobermans, of all the protection dogs they seem to get the most enoyment out of it and also are the most keyed in in my opinion.

Police K9s turn on their handlers and bite the wrong person almost daily
And their function is questionable. It’s just loophole police brutality that doesnt jive with “innocent until proven guilty” (or “when tyranny becomes law, resistance becomes duty”, see: war on drugs bs)
Decent in war, but the dogs are throwaways like a living flashbang

PPDs are a status symbol. Not a functional weapon in a society that’s fully post industrial. They’re closer to a sacrificial distraction because of how well armed and LARGE the average person is. You can buy a decent carbon steel sidesword for $250 that would be a more functional defensive and offensive weapon than a dog. A 4” folding pocketknife could do better.

Speaking of, 3 large dogs including a pit and a mastiff attacked a 70 year old seattle man. He fought them off with a pocketknife and received only minor injuries. Dogs are quite weak.

>Categorically wrong
No, retard. People who really, truly know what these dogs are keep them in chain spots if there is a slight chance of them interacting with an animal, woman, or child, or at least keep a break stick handy or never take off the prong (WITH grab handle). They are bred to attack without warning and with the single minded goal of going until they're pulled off or the target is dead. Dog or boar or bear, it's the entire purpose of the breed.

It's a hardcore dog, that's the reason behind its popularity is that its a hardcore dog. They're basically interchangeable with other high risk breeds like KBDs and the same idiot owners who think they're boss trainers who can override fundamental instincts would cause just as many deaths with any other high risk breed.

Pitbulls have a very specific purpose, and that purpose is not being your housepet and strolling around begging for snacks. Their inbuilt purpose actively conflicts with that purpose. 99% of other working dogs are significantly better pets.

>>4827702
>It can happen
It will most likely happen just as you are waking up, which gives you the disadvantage of running into someone who is already pumped with guns drawn. Ideally you want to catch an intruder when they are sneaking around, scared, and still have the clock resting on their cock. Alarm systems >>>>>> dogs.

But that literally just goes back to what I'm saying about horsehoe niggers not being able to have nuanced thoughts.
Some people can't accept that most pitbulls are completely problem free and that there is nothing wrong with the breed and that the fault lies with the owners.
Equally some people can't accept that pitbulls are a powerful breed that poses a risk when not handled correctly and that some lines specifically carry very problematic behaviours that if not respected will get someone killed.
I don't even like pitbulls, I wouldn't defend them at all if there wasn't this cringe reddit circle jerk around hating them.

My dog jumps on strangers after they pet her too much. Thoughts?

>>4827640
my friend has three huskies. when they were puppies they were so cute, and now they are very pretty dogs. my problem with them is they aren't really that eager to please, so it just makes them a little difficult to deal with in urban areas where they need to be doing the human thing, for lack of a better word. i think i'd like them more if I lived in the middle of nowhere. someone told me they are kinda cat-like, and I'd agree with that.

i don't see the appeal of having a highly aggressive dog like a pitbull, but i understand some people rescue them and it is what it is. i think you have a good take about the most important thing is that the owner knows what the animal is and adjusts for that, a lot of pitbull owners think they might as well be golden retrievers and that's just not true. i also think it's a bit of a "big truck small dick" thing (for both men and women). a lot of people I know that have pitbulls have some sort of compensation complex going, especially the women even.

Pitbulls are inherently dangerous and were bred specifically not to give warning signs. Keep your aggressive little shit leashed.

Honestly the biggest problem with dogs is that people don't really think about the breeds they buy. They just think that they look cool or whatever and get them. They don't think about lifestyle and energy levels and then they end up with problems.
My sister has a maremma that doesn't get enough exercise and when it was a puppy she treated like her child so now that it is grown up it has complete control over the household and has anxiety issues.

Letting a husky have a field day is possible

You'll just have to accept they'll only reliably come back when they have humped every dog and killed every rabbit, squirrel, vole and quail in the area and possibly ran out to sniff out a family barbecue
Or you can just go to a fenced park that has something to do besides play fetch (which huskies don't even enjoy that much)

You let your dog off leash for them to do something they enjoy. If there's nothing they enjoy around, they'll go find it, or there's no point. Also, the thing about huskies is: they enjoy pulling on a leash. a lot.

Pitbull owners have a very hard time telling the two kinds apart then k3k

>>4827758
I didn't literally mean a field day I meant letting the dog sniff around and pull. You can teach your dog release words so that it knows when it is supposed to walk beside you and when it can sniff around.
>>4827760
This is true for most dog owners. The main difference is that most dogs are a sporting .22 rifle and pitbulls are a shotgun.

>>4827764
You can teach a husky release words so that she knows when to pull like mad (depends on if she's naturally a confident lead dog or needs another dog to follow around) but otherwise they're gonna sniff

My dog isn't lead dog material. If I had a german shepherd, that would actually fix her recall issues because if she makes friends with a dog she'll follow them around all day.

>>4827783
Probably more than a pitbull, at least until an off leash dog stands between guardy "furbaby" mcdog and his owner and the owner of the now mauled pooch says "what the fuck bro, normal dogs dont do that" and the kangal dicklet says "ur fault, ur dog should be at a perfect heel, your dog has no respect for the natural alpha, durrr"

>>4827739
yeah i know someone with a goldendoodle that bought it "because it doesn't shed and is cute." .... and it, of course, does shed because it's not a poodle and she didn't do any research on training it so it's psycho

My take on this discussion

The fact that dangerous dogs exist. Anyone who has spent significant time around a variety of ‘personal protection dog’ or ‘fighting dog’ breeds such as ovcharkas or pitbulls understands this.

If you own a dangerous dog then, regardless of training you need to understand that the dog cannot be trusted to react appropriately because, like any animal or human, it may get the wrong idea sometimes and it is capable of far more harm than other dogs
While being a dangerous dog is often associated with breed, as these reactivities are more often than not from breeding, that doesn’t mean all dogs of one breed are dangerous. Unfortunately this is where the misunderstanding lies, as many people with dangerous dogs who simply havent reacted badly (yet) or maybe even never did in their life, believe that anecdote precludes the breed from being judged as a dangerous dog breed - likewise many non-dangerous dogs are presupposed to be dangerous because of their breed, under an abindance of caution or some form of bias.

At the end of the day, you’ll never convince someone who’s favourite or current dog is a dangerous dog, but who doesnt believe their dog is dangerous, that it is actually dangerous. It’s a meaningless argument, I’ve hit my head against a wall with countless people who had obviously extremely dangerous dogs that would just not see it, luckily only a few ended in attacks and none in deaths. But if you’re actually a reasonable person you wont project your experience of anecdotally owning a safe dog onto the whole breed, nor will you tell someone they own a dangerous dog with no other information than a breed name. If you do own a dangerous dog though, and you should consider you might based on breed because thats just good practice, its not the kind of dog you can treat as a pet. One day that Ovcharka you bought as a protection dog is going to mistake a friend entering as an intruder and rip him a new arsehole

Yes, they also abused them for that, severely, and then said "never touch a dogs head, they'll bite you" which isn't true except in the case of abused dogs.

Dog bites haven't really gone up in time with anything but the pitbull population (guess why? see the retard defending them itt, most likely you. they went from being distrusted disposable fighting dogs to pets for wannabes)

Before pitbulls and their purpoesfully ignorant and trusting owners, public enemy no. 1 was "protection" german shepherds trained with the koehler method.

The breed has gotten much safer now that even the "balanced" faggots don't hurt their dogs half as much as that double digit IQ retard instructed his fellow americans with equally non-negligible blood lead levels to
If you want a good explanation of why 19th and 20th century america was so ridden with subhuman aggressive tendencies...
It's not "traditional", it's fucking lead. Cavemen domesticated wolves by being nice to them. Native americans had domesticated timberwolves and coyotes and they were not 1/4 as mean to them as koehler. At the outset of civilization, the every first civilized humans to build a proper nation considered dogs sacred animals that could not be harmed except as a sacrifice by the priests. The problem was lead poisoning. The same thing that turned the romans into a bunch of bloodsport loving barbarians and contributed to the fall of their empire.

Dog park during off hours is probably better, finding those off hours is its challenge.

>>4828333
The off hours is exactly when the pit mommy shows up during her WFH jobs lunchbreak

>>4828336
Scared much? Stop making up weird boogeymen. Go during off hours and if you see something you dislike; leave.

>>4828340
There are no true off hours. Someone will show up at any time dawn to dusk.
>if you see something you dislike
The problem with pit mommies is, if their dog is something you dislike, it's already sprinting towards yours are 20mph, and you're legally not allowed to shoot until your dog is already scarred for life, and it would be difficult to get in close enough to ensure a clean shot with no collateral. At that point, the pit mommy might try and wrestle your gun away and throw off the shot or pull the trigger herself.

I've seen it happen to other peoples dogs in real life. I've seen shitbull fuckers go for people with weapons in cell phone videos. I'm not going to let it happen to mine. Don't go to public dog parks.

>>4828345

>>4828345
I don't get it, I've been to a lot of dog parks in my lifetime, if a pitbull gets uppity I just leave or protect my dogs by stepping in...

>>4828359
>he thinks police follow the same rules as people
police arent people. theyre state sanctioned murderers. people cant shoot a retard for pulling up his pants because they already told him they were scared and uncomfortable. you cant shoot a dog for being near you either. for police its a sport, for you its a felony.

Thanks to the power of IoT we are DANGEROUSLY close on getting a dox. I mean this could happen within the next couple of weeks at best.

Dogfuckers beware.

Any tips on how to avoid a vacation? I have a few long vacation days already built up with upper management here. I'm kind of worried about getting laid off on this one.

Exposure triangle

Aperture, focal length and their relationship to depth of field

Shutter speed and motion blur relationship

Lens focal length and field of view.

Look up/understand those terms/ideas to start off with and you'll start to understand how things work then you can get a cheap digital camera with fully manual controls and interchangeable lenses to start putting it into practice. A 24-70mm zoom lens will be nice to start off with, and it will be great for both nature and dog photography. You can get a few prime lenses later on if you really want. A 35mm prime lens is also a good place to start if you don't want a zoom.

Bugguy, we already watched you get BTFO on this. You tried dragging this argument out for several months and even BTFO yourself on it. There's a reason you are the only, single, one, lone person on earth who cares. It's because as soon as your precious statistic is examined beyond face value, including adjustments for all things and how common it is per capita, it crumbles harder than african american drug arrests as a meaningful point of judgement. Put in a global context and it is entirely meaningless.

Also, the last time you started arguing, you broke down midway through and posted a file host link to a webm showing closeups of dog pussy, so we're starting to think you're trying to justify your own schizoprenic sexual dysfunctions. Instead of responding further how about you report to your caretaker and ask them to up your meds?

Maybe then you'll also stop getting irrationally mad at trey the explainer existing (as if he's significant) and stop feeling the need to claim to be random paleontologists on 4chan.

I don't feed my dog anywhere near when I walk them, before or after. I also play with her in the yard for a bit before hand. Takes out some of her energy and gives her the opporunity to toilet so she doesn't while we're out.

What are some wisdoms you've picked up when it comes to dog ownership (outside of the obvious shit)?
I think when your dog is barking at something you should always check who or what it is and then let the dog know. Either I say "oh silly that's (family/friend/postman)" if I know them or "who is that?" if it is just some stranger. It makes them bark way less and it helps build that mutual respect you want with your dog.

>>4828752
Political decisions should be informed by the most elite of our citizens/immigrants should be allowed as long as they are conscripted into the army in return for citizenship and small land grants.

You should normally go outside with your dog, they like it better that way
Dogs can read your feelings before you can
They really like carrots

>>4828780
>Dogs can read your feelings before you can
It is crazy how much a dogs temperament comes down to the owner. I've known a fella with a big old scary looking pitbull who is the most evened out dog I've ever met simply because his owner is a functioning middle aged white guy and I've known women with a labrador that was neurotic and vicious simply because his owners were. I've also seen a "unfixable" rescue rottweiler do a complete 180 in behaviour. It's why it is no surprise that in 99 out of 100 dog attacks the owner is some fucking retard.

Teach your dog to walk on leash at your side and walk around parks during the day.

Where are this dogs pupils? Fruit bat looking ass

Hey bro’s I’m not sure where to turn to and I needed to ask a few questions.

I woke up to my dog barking which isn’t too unusual since that means she needs to use the bathroom but when I came down to take her outside she was wincing when I touched her neck.

I’m not sure why though I saw some things mention her diet but I moved to canned wet foods for her with small amounts of kibble so I’m not sure if that’s it or something else?

I love her bro’s and I can’t stand to hear her wince in pain like that.

>>4828917
go to a vet then

>>4828918
I don’t have much in the way of money so I was wondering if anyone else had this issue with their dog and was hoping they might know what medication I might need to buy her or if I need to change her diet more?

I'm working on assembling a kit to take with me on day walks with my nine month old central asian shepherd/german shepherd cross. Right now it's a hip pack, a dump pouch for easy access treats for training, and a pouch for a water bottle. Lead, harness, second slip lead for emergencies. Poop bags, used bag holder, wipes. Collapsible dog bowl, ball for playing, collar light for when it gets dark, and a small towel. Are there any obvious things i'm missing that you guys would want on hand if you're walking your dog for 3+ hours? Once he's old enough for proper hiking i'll have a little first aid kit, but right now it's not necessary.

>>4828919
No. Diet is generally unrelated to neck pain unless her teeth are so rotten and infected her jawbone's being eaten away. Go to a vet. My dog suddenly became sore in his neck. It was a fast-growing tumor that started putting pressure on his wind-pipe and I was putting him down exactly seven days after he first showed pain.

>>4828924
Got it thank you I’ll see what I can scrounge up I hope I’m being a paranoid retard and it’s nothing.

I’m sorry about your dog I can only hope he enjoyed the last days he had with you I hope he’s in peace.

>>4828920
Water

>>4828920
Depending your climate you might want to bring electrolyte powder (the kind for dogs) with you just in case, bring some dog safe berries in your treat pouch as well and make sure you know what you're supposed to do if your dog overheats.
Berries are very good for keeping your dogs energy up just test the kinds you can give them out first to check if they like them.

I'm the one wearing the hip pack, not the dog.

Wait what? Which berries are not dog safe? I thought they were all fine

I found berries growing on a tree, they looked like blackberries and had red juice when squeezed. Thoughts?

>>4828963
Grapes

>>4828970
I'll grape you if you know what I mean

>>4828970
Oh I know about grapes. I've never included grapes in culinary lists of berries.
The ironic thing being they are botanical berries while what I do consider culinary berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries etc) are almost all NOT botanical berries.

>>4828977
Look dude I literally just said 'dog safe berries' because I don't know for a fact that every berry is dog safe and I don't want some spastic killing his dog because he read 'give your dog berries' on 4chan and didn't double check to make sure they weren't toxic.

>>4828980
That's fair, I was just wondering if there was a particular common berry they shouldn't have. I know cherries are meant to be bad because of the pits.
Looking online, the unsafe berries are wild berries
>Even some wild berries that are edible for humans may contain toxins, pits or other substances that could harm your dog. Holly berries, mistletoe berries and salmonberries are examples of berries your dog should avoid.

Grug thankful he no berrypicker. Grug good hunter. Track down steak for woof in costco.

Why is it so hard to find the ideal dog breed?

I want a dog so bad but I'm extremely avoidant and don't like to be around people and I know I have to be around other people and their dogs to socialize my dog properly. Any antisocial avoidant owners here?

>>4829592
>Any antisocial avoidant owners here?
Given this is 4chan it's probably the majority here.
I just deal with it the same as I deal with having to be in social situations for work or family.
At least with dogs all the focus is on them. I recognise and know the names of a bunch of dogs, but I have no idea what their handler's names are.

are martingale collars any good? my boy slips out of every collar or harness cus his neck is so fat he's a blue heeler BTW

>>4829785
Pretty much, should be standard issue to any prey driven breeds like Basset Hounds and Whippets. The material should be silky, smooth, and soft. It should never be employed as a choke collar.

>>4829785
I think so. And Guide Dogs use them.
Love me a cattle dog.

>>4829785
I can't trust myself to walk behind my dog 100% of the time and sometimes we do weird things like walk side by side then walk staggered and dogs slip their collars most commonly from behind their owners so just as safety I've been using a harness but definitely want to go to a cloth martingale like Leoanon suggested.

>>4829785
A harness does the same thing but isn't for women

>>4829790
How come I always see women using harnesses then? Checkmate atheist.

viola, new thread
>>4829794
>>4829794
>>4829794

I think women like harnesses because the concept of a collar being a fabric tethered to a dog’s neck is a little cruel to them. Women are more compassionate to baby-like things.

>>4829796
Women like harnesses because of all the data on trachea and cervical injuries resulting from collar accidents

Same reason so many K-9s wear a harness and an e-collar

>>4829798
Even any mildly prey-driven dog just shouldn't be on a collar. Their instinct to chase is too strong and is going to cause damage eventually; it's just a matter of time before your dog bolts away and is clotheslined by your leash into snapping its neck.
