Most standard hobby model RC cars average speed is between 20-30mph.
Less for basic toy grade.
I'm well aware that the more advanced cars really jump in speed, and if that's what's in the webm then you're right, they can't run that fast.
But 20-30mph, it's a chew toy

Yeah that model in particular is meant to go fast and launch off jumps, pup is a bit wary of it because of the size and the noise but the smaller car I tried before that can't drive well in the tall grass.

The worst was when the cat knocked the nearly full 4lb bag of cat food over when I was sleeping. Dog ate it all, shit everywhere in the house, and then had diarrhea with a little blood for a couple days afterwards.
After research found out the blood is pretty common with acute colitis aka garbage gut. He was fine.

Hey /dog/ I'm back to bitch and moan.

People who have never had dogs and will proudly tell you that their outdoor cat hates them because they always fuck with it love to give retarded advice like "you need to stop your dog from barking when he's scared by yelling full volume in his face. it's the only way."
>nigga why would barking back teach him that barking is inappropriate in this context just THINK about that for one hot second this is kindergarten A-B logic my guy it sincerely shouldn't be that hard to figure out
Then it becomes "you NEED to get him desexed THAT'S why he's spooked by loud strangers getting in his face you NEED to I heard it on tiktok male dogs are always HORRIBLE unless they're desexed it's a RULE."
One aunty keeps getting this shit-eating smirk and asking "is he pissing everywhere yet? he's spraying all over your house, right???? I told you not to get a dog!!!" because she used to be a backyard breeder and HER male dogs pissed everywhere and she absolutely cannot compute why.

Everybody desperately wants something negative to latch on to and there just isn't anything in this context unless you're one of those people who wants a braindead teacup dog that doesn't actually display any dog behaviours. Lil man has literally never snatched human food that's left out. I have multiple $300+ artist teddy bears at his eye-height throughout the house and he has never touched anything that he hasn't been offered, but nobody wants to hear about THAT. They want to compare themselves to Dog Daddy Cesar Milan dipshits.
>>
>>5142073
The beauty of owning a dog is you can just go outside with them, have a great day, and not give a fuck.
>>
>>5142073
And as someone with actual experience with working types (specifically Koolies, Kelpies, GSDs and Heelers) my biggest advice to anyone who does want to raise a Heeler is that they aren't shepherds. They aren't biddable dogs. They don't give a fuck how much you want them to do something, so trying to train for pure obedience isn't going to work - You need to establish good manners as a baseline personality from a young age. Give them an environment in which they trust you and THEY want to perform the behaviours that you want from them, through consistency over command.
"you need to be firm! be loud! make it a command!"
"no i don't. look, i can do a very subtle hand signal and he instantly follows the command."
"whoAoaoAOAOOaoaoaOAOA"

/an/ I want a dog. Will get a borzoi puppy in about 6 months.

That's desensitization/socialization. You definitely need to do it, but I've never raised a puppy so I can't tell you how to do it properly.

:[ They're 1/3 to 1/2 the size of a zoi. If you get a zoi you should definitely post it either way.

If you get a puppy and start early with the right kind of training you could probably do it.

>>5142455
Down is very useful, stay, relax/place, and I use a "hold still" command all the time when I need to do inspections or grooming stuff.
>>
>>5142476
thank you, I will attempt to teach them just that. I will also brush his teeth daily. I am a dentist and it annoys the shit out of me when parents say that they "can't brush their precious baby's teeth" and then I will show them that I can brush my zoi's teeth and they will be embarassed.
What kind of usual treatments are done at the vet? I have seen ultrasound and general mouth and paw inspections?

>>5142474
I will take that puppy everywhere I can and get him desensitised to everything. I hope.

For some reason, decent dogs have been extremely rare on Craigslist and at the shelters in my area since around the beginning of the year. I don't see the trend reversing and I think it's sad that anyone would have to settle for a pit mutt, so I want to start mass breeding to improve my local gene pool.

The problem is that the kinds of breeds that I like (e.g. GSD, ACD, husky), I don't think are suitable for the average person in my region (gulf south, anyone smart enough to leave does). I'm thinking about maybe labs because they're pretty much the default dog. I don't really like them though. Any ideas?

For skunk spray? The trick with skunk spray is to wash it off within 45 minutes of getting sprayed or the spray bonds to hair and you basically can't wash it off.

Use hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, and baking soda. Apply and let sit for 15 minutes then rinse off. Worked perfectly the one time I had to do.

You most likely need antibiotics. Check the dogs temp to see how elevated it is.
You can get antibiotics without prescription through aquarium supply stores(online or brick and mortar) you just need to get the dose correct. Weigh your dog to establish correct dose. You can hold them and weigh yourself + them on a bathroom scale then weigh just yourself and take the difference.

Amazon has next day delivery for amoxicillin tablets in my area. Just search for fish amoxicillin and you'll see the tablets.

I had a dream about my french bulldog who died years ago, then I woke up and realized I never owned that breed before.
>>
>>5144666
Sincere answer from not-that-guy: If his rural dad has already neglected it to the point it got infected and his final solution is to just shoot it, he's probably one of those silly cunts who wraps his masculinity up in his ownership of animals and would become sincerely offended if his own child actually provided adequate care. "It's your responsibility, then!" is usually a smug invitation to try and fail, to realize "dad was right, I am not as good and clever as he."

Several years ago my ex almost got into a punch up with his step-dad because his mother's cat had a urinary tract infection and he wanted to take it to the vet (and pay for it) but his step-dad threw a big fucking tantrum over another man implying he was better by doing the correct thing and not letting the cat slowly die in their kitchen.

Yesterday I thought i noticed by 6mo puppy walking slightly differently due to the sound of gait changing, but it seemed completely fine. It was playing around today and running (I was stupid for letting it) and now 24 hours later after I woke it from a nap to take her outside it's limping and doesnt put much weight on the back left leg. Is it inflammation from playing too hard or something more serious

I'll take it to the vet once they open just curious what you all think. Plus using this as a warning to take gait changes seriously and force them to rest to be safe

I had already managed the infection, but there was no saving for the ear. I've cleaned and dressed it every day and now, it's off :( poor bby, poor ear.

But, then again, the dog seems significantly more happy now. Always twitches the torn off ear, but at least he runs around again and doesn't paw at it anymore.

I was looking where the ripped of part is, but apparently he ate it, the dumbass.

How do I exercise a dog, guys? I'm a hikkomore and I don't like going outside. I've had this dog for 2 months and she's done wonders for me. I've been going outside many times every day to take her out to go potty. I thought that indoor fetch would be "good enough", but I think she needs more. I don't want to walk her because she barks at everything. She's an adult german shepherd with a straight back. The shelter said that supposedly she bit another dog's neck or something. Not sure I trust her out and about.

Dogs require socialization
You said you can’t do this
You can’t have a dog

German shepherds in particular need daily interaction with other people, 2+ hours of exercise/exploring/socialization, and 1+ hour of play

Yeah, I've been feeding her in a "food burrito" - a towel rolled up with dog food in it. I stopped doing that for a week and she's become noticeably more antsy. I'm starting the towel-feeding again.
I've also discovered that I can run down the hallway. I've started running with her in addition to throwing the ball down the hallway.

She's got one big problem: When I take her out to go potty, she gets fixated on looking out in to the distance. I believe this is called "vigilance". I've had great success giving her a treat every time she looks at me. This has broken the unbreakable vigilance.

I think I need a little bit more, though. I want to drive her somewhere and walk her in a secluded place. I'm really not sure how to do that.

literally what causes dogs to bite strangers and go apeshit for no reason

you keep an animal in a cage and pretend its fine because you keep yourself in the same cage
dogs are highly intelligent social mammals. the cortical complexity of a large wolf like dog like a german shepherd, border collie, nordic/asian spitz, malinois etc overlaps with the low end of large parrots and small monkeys
you think you’re fine because you have 4chan and porn
the dog is literally falling apart inside, fully aware that 1: there is a world out there 2: they’re trapped by a godlike being that can kill whatever displeases it 3: if they leave they will die

lord i hope you dont do any typical NEET autist shit (ie: rape) to that animal

Animal kept in a dark box for most of its life sees the outside world and can’t stop looking at it

Normal dogs dont have this as a problem. The way you live is automatic animal abuse and is making your dog deeply neurotic. Change your pathethic shut in NEET life or stop torturing a german shepherd by keeping them locked up alone stuck in a sterile box with you.

Dogs need to explore and meet other dogs and people.

You’re a shut in with a severely understimulated, non-socialized german shepherd. This is ironically how “dog moms” raise their “babies”. Except you’re not a woman (and never will be btw).

And it’s the direct cause of their “babies” biting people after “smiling”. Dogs, especially bigger smarter ones, need to live life and meet people or they go insane. Get a cat. A mutt tied to a porch in khazakhstan sniffing delivery guys and street dogs is more fulfilled than a NEET’s dog that only sees a dim goon cave and a patch of grass.

I mean it. Your dog is a liability because of the way you live. Stop being a sedentary shut in. Start going hiking and meeting people. Join a force free dog training group for owners of dogs with history (force can and should be considered but only for severe and dangerous cases and only with licensed behaviourist supervision, lest some ex-government k9 retard make your dog even more prone to biting).

>Normal dogs dont have this as a problem.
She behaved like this right when I adopted her. And she was in the shelter for a very short time before I adopted her. Ergo, this behavior was not induced by me.

Finally, some useful information. Took a lot of yap before I got that out of you.
>>
>>5145630
Vigilance is something neglected, shut in shelter dogs lose in a couple of weeks.

If they are owned by people who are capable of taking care of dogs.

Stop being a sedentary shut in. Start going hiking and meeting people. Your other choice is no dog. None. Being a hikki antisocial NEET is weak feminine behavior (stay at home wife). You’re genuinely not a real man if you live in a goon cave. You’re larping as a shitty woman. Weak feminine people can not handle large, smart, aggressive dogs like german shepherds. Even if you can make it dependent on you, you can’t make it safe for people and toddlers if you can not provide near constant exercise, work, and socialization - and engage in it yourself because dogs learn by example and follow their owners lead.

Man up or give up the dog and get a maltapoo or a cat.

>Vigilance is something neglected, shut in shelter dogs lose in a couple of weeks.
Yeah, and she lost it. It's only since I stopped feeling her in a towel did it come back.

Quit your bitching.

>>5145632
>feeling her in a towel
what the fuck
>reee stop bitching
Stop being a shut in fag with a nervous severely understimulated, mentally ill german shepherd. These dogs can and do kill children when owned by people like you. Granted, its usually a do-nothing woman not a 4chan fag.

Hell no. I keep two dogs for this reason. You never know when “he’s friendly” will end up with your dog bitten and a life long reactivity issue.

you got a dog bred for vigilance, for scanning the perimeter, for exhibiting watchfulness toward novelty. this is its nature and it must be fulfilled. this is part of the contract of loving a dog. the tripwire in your gsd is the novelty - given the opportunity to gain experience and context she will learn what is expected and what is novel. if you keep her in an apartment then everything outside that apartment is seen as a potential threat. you have also selected a manbiting breed. you can see the opportunity for disaster inherent in your situation. you need a trainer and a plan but also you should fit a good quality muzzle and start acclimatizing her to wearing one, just in case.

i must give my terrier opportunities to dig. it has rained on us 5 nights out of the last six but still we go out to inspect the rodent burrows. still she digs in the mud.

>you have also selected a manbiting breed

A german shepherd is a man's dog. Indeed, I am a man. This dog makes me a man. She just needs a little more exercise, that's all. Some people are so dramatic.

Dogs need socialization and mental stimulation. Exercise just gets you an athletic bored dog.

You can not own a dog if you don’t go places and meet/know other dog owners.

Thought I was going to get some good pics of chili playing in the surf of lake Michigan. She had other ideas because she wanted nothing to do with that water. She would walk up to it, sit in the sand next to me, but did not let it touch her paws. Even after a 2 mile run on the trails the most she would do is dig a hole and lay in the cool sand, just out of reach of the lapping waves.
Not surprised, she's quite prissy.

My friends gonna get a dog soon. Hes the chubby edgy troll type although deep down hes a sweet fun loving guy. Recently been sending me these edgy social media montage with edgy dogs wearing skull masks and shits and telling me how his second dog will be a killer or some crap. Yeah hes going down the white trash edgy dogowner lane and I gotta change his mind before he turns into a literal insociable fuck. Fucker looks like something inbetween a huge marshmallow and a lazy town character, if he goes like this he'll wind up the cringiest most unhinged mammal I know. I need advices on how to nudge him away from this sorry fate

Convince him to get a breed that’s not known for aggression/reactivity but say that they are known for being mean and would be exactly what he wants.

Just let him get the shitbull. It would be a shame if he ruined a good breed with dog daddy caesar milanlet abuse training and "alpha male dominance for MAGA K9s".

Just let him ruin the shitbull instead so a better breeds reputation isn’t tarnished.

There's accessories available just for this issue, however some people take issue with them such as prong collars.
I always start with choking up on the leash, leaving the dog to stay right next to me, and apply pressure upwards instead of horizontal when they start to pull. Be gentle, no sense yanking on them like a gorilla. Walk the dog like this on a very short lead, applying upward pressure, start and stop a lot, each time making sure they do the same. Do this several times and don't give up. Always use a verbal command to tell them to stop pulling. This may take several times before the dog understands, depending on the breed.
After a month or so of this conditioning if the dog continues pulling you may have to pursue a different avenue. I've used Gentle leaders with success if all else fails.

>>5147656
I taught my dog by just stopping every time he pulled
If he pulled at the leash I would just stop and stand whereever I was for a couple minutes and he figured out that pulling only results in boredom

Anyway, Biscuit's sister had her DNA tested and while obviously percentages will vary greatly between littermates, the top breeds came down to:
>full quarter miniature poodle
>20%+ border collie
-
>heeler
>shih tzu
-
>maltese
>kelpie

So I'd guess dad is half Poodle, half Maltese/Shih Tzu while mum is a predominantly Border Collie 'general Aussie farm dog' mix. It was kind of surprising but now I see any photo of a "Bordoodle" online and they're all just palette-swapped versions of him.
