From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

A friend of mine recently showed me Menswear Dog which is a men's fashion book that uses Shiba Inu's to model the clothes :o.

Here's some photos on their instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mensweardog/?hl=en

I love that you’re keeping her comfort in mind while she works. I have seen and used “earplugs“ for horses, foam plugs with a handle on them - you squeeze the plugs then put in their ear canal where they expand, and can easily get them out with the string. When I did a quick search I couldn’t find them for dogs, but I feel like there must be somewhere to find a similar product. Here’s a link to a basic version of the horse ones so you have an idea what I’m taking about: Cashell Company Horse Ear Plugs with String https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004I9MN3Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_78K2ZQ5P9CX69D418PVX

Yes! I let my husky pick out a toy at the dog store and she grabbed a squeaky hedgehog in overalls. This was a couple years ago and it's still one of her favorites. She carried it out of the store and still carries it around the house and plays with it constantly. I would never have picked it for her, but she ignores other toys in favor of hedgie. She loves it!

Get a please do not pet I’m working vest.

DO NOT PET Dog Vest Harness with Removable Patches and Reflective Trim. Comes with 2 DO NOT PET Reflective Removable Patches.

SO works as a guide dog trainer. They just released a documentary about a guide dog's journey from puppy to working dog that just came out. It's called Pick of the Litter. Their story is part of the intro.

Rest easy, there is zero chance the caption is correct. Stock guarding dogs basically never fight large predators. Their presence alone, and the noises they make, are enough to protect the stock. Ray and Lorna Coppinger spent decades studying stock dogs, including running a federally funded study/program that lent hundreds of them to ranchers, over three decades, in exchange for keeping statistics. In both their program, and the thousands of dogs they studied in the field overseas, they concluded that fights between dogs and predators were a statistical non-factor. The Coppingers cover this issue in a number of academic papers, but also in this engaging book,if you are interested in how dogs evolved and how to taxonomically define their relationships with humans. What makes a good stock guarding dog is, "absence of the stalking, chasing instinct and a curious mixture of juvenile, maternal and courtship behaviour directed toward the sheep."

Highly recommend reading Cat Warren's book What The Dog Knows. It's about her training her first cadaver dog, and she does a great job weaving in some history and general info.

I finished it two months ago and immediately got my dogs enrolled in scent work classes lol.

Yes, the pup is amazing and adorable. But lately I have really been thinking about how modern did training affects us people. That was all positive, all praised based. It really changes you when you spend hours giving praise. I raise guide dog pups, we do the same "good girl" stuff. I think I'm a better person now, better to other people, because of that.

To be fair this is the message Steve Kuusisto gives in his wonderful Have Dog, Will Travel: A Poet's Journey. We went to a talk he gave. We took out service pup with us. One of the in service guide dogs got up to say hi to my sweet baby. Who behaved herself.

“and real service dogs are tested before they are allowed to be a service dog in the public and I'd take any service dog of any breed and believe it less likely to harm someone than even the least aggressive breeds with a random owner”

Thanks Amazon, very cool and very legal

Thanks! And he's trained specifically for antlers, but being that he spends so much time tracking deer we kind of side trained him to track blood as well as the deer. That way, if I lose a deer while hunting, I can go grab this little dude and he can help me find the deer I shot.

As for training, my wife did a lot of the work.

We essentially played fetch with a plastic antler with scent on it. It's this kit, you can get it on amazon at that link or bass pro shop if you're in the states. ->

Then, we hid it easily around the house ->

Then, we hid it kinda hard around the house ->

Then, we hid it easy around our yard ->

Then, we kept practicing, making them harder to find as we went on.

I hope that helps! Malinois are pretty smart dogs, and they clearly have the drive (as I'm sure you know lol) to do it. Let me know if you have trouble with something specific or any questions at all. My PM's are always open!

Hmmm I have really good luck with these boots:

Hcpet Dog Boots Breathable Dog... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LKD8T1X?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

They have a double Velcro strap that helps keep them in place, but the back paws will sometimes rotate during manic zoomies (but at least they stay on)

scroll down a bit, if it wasn't 4m before this patch it isn't now. There's nothing about stealth detection radius in the latest patch notes.

Heya, my dog had one of those and it was hard to keep straight and did not protect her underbelly. This one did a much better job, although I do not think it would be as waterproof in a steady downpour.

I hope you did OK with the storm.

Got you

Haha yes it's the best! This is the brand we use!Check this out on Amazon Portable Travel Bottles Set, AMMAX Leak Proof Squeezable Silicon Tubes Travel Size Toiletries Containers, TSA Carry On Approved Refillable Travel Accessories for Shampoo Liquids 4 Pack (3 fl. oz) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D4PR3PY/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_GWWPWHZ5EW7344M2XEXV

I would recommend getting these travel shampoo bottles or something similar! They are leak proof so you can just throw them in you bag or pocket! you can put peanut butter, squeeze cheese, dog food, pumpkin, the list goes on. One of the best training investments I ever made 😅 Check this out on Amazon Portable Travel Bottles Set, AMMAX Leak Proof Squeezable Silicon Tubes Travel Size Toiletries Containers, TSA Carry On Approved Refillable Travel Accessories for Shampoo Liquids 4 Pack (3 fl. oz) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D4PR3PY/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_GWWPWHZ5EW7344M2XEXV

I got the same one for my 47lbs Labraddodle. As far as I can tell it's very comfortable as any scratch session seems to be the same with or without the harness or when she's just walking/laying about or walking/sprinting/running.

This are the ones I used and they worked well.

If anyone is interested in learning more about SAR dogs, I'd recommending checking out Bob Wank's book <em>Aris</em>. It's a quick read and a really cool look into the life of a working dog.

This guy lived on my old mail route, and I talked to him a lot about his experiences as a police dog handler and being at ground zero for SAR. Incredibly cool and open dude.

One thing that really stuck with me was when he told me about ground zero rubble clearers asking if they could pet his SAR dog, and he could see all the stress and despair fall a bit from their faces as they embraced his K9. Even though the search was basically hopeless, it meant a lot to the New Yorkers at ground zero to have those folks and their dogs there.

It is threaded on the bottom, you use this adapter. I bought a whole kit and it had one in it.

The one I have is a this one. Just something I found at random on amazon. Her mouth is soft, so no teeth marks after two years. I have a hard time grasping things so I have dropped it quite often. I have a screen protector on it, so no marks from my medical ID (looks like a credit card, but use to let hospitals know about my deep brain stimulator)

NVM, I found it! https://www.amazon.com.au/GoodBoy-Halter-Guiding-Keeping-Pulling/dp/B07YPYPQLV/ref=asc_df_B07YQ2DS73/?tag=googleshopmob-22&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=341774772718&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=15396212921402233759&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp...

It's harder than you think, because a dog's training, especially for something like this, really really requires you to train them in as close a context as possible to the actual thing. I've read a fascinating book (How dogs love us, by Dr Gregory Berns) about some studies conducted by the author to get a live MRI scan of a dog's brain- before this it'd only been done on sedated dogs. It was much more complicated than you'd think- not only do you have to teach the dog to get onto the machine and rest its head on the headrest, you also have to teach it to stay still in the face of loud noises and flashing lights made by the machine.

So for the ski lift, you not only have to teach them how to get on and stay still, but also acclimate them to actually /seeing/ the height, seeing people below, the cold wind, etc.

That being said they probably just pull the bar down and have a harness on the dog I'd guess

If anyone wants to try a smaller version of this, my sister got this for my dogs' birthdays. They love it! It came a little smooshed so I threw it in the dryer to fluff it up, then hid some treats. Even the little one, who doesn't use her nose much, got in on the fun.

I got his things for my dog, there are different types out there too. Works the same way, be careful tho bc I imagine some dogs will try to eat the fabric, but I think my dog enjoys it and it slows him down while eating.

This is from the documentary series “Last Chance to See” which itself is like a reunion of the Douglas Adams (the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy guy) book of the same title. Both book and series are documenting attempts to find and see endangered species before they go extinct, in the wild if possible.

The book is, in my opinion, Douglas Adams’ best work, and is both hilarious and poignant. The chapter on the Kakapo is particularly good, as is the story of them looking for condoms in China, which is just insanely funny.

Book: https://www.amazon.com/Last-Chance-See-Douglas-Adams/dp/0345371984/ref=nodl_

Doesn’t look like it’s streaming free anywhere right now, maybe it’s on YouTube?

Highly recommended. Book should be required reading in high school in my opinion.
