Great advice. I’d add that it’s almost crucial to take a dog that young to a proper dog training, they will teach that stuff to the humans as well. It looks like the dog has a well rounded character that just needs a liitle bit of direction.
Good input! I have to read up on that compound buildup. The idea of the hunter’s pot was to water it down once it’s 1/3, maybe that did the trick back in the day. These were some tough dudes…
For the water, I used filtered tap water, so should be ok on that.
The alcohol is a fantastic idea and it can pair well with the leftover cooked down to a stew with potatoes and meats. I have to think about that. Salt and maybe rosemary are anti-microbial as well.
Yes, I should be more specific. I can heat only the serving I need, but that is not the point of my thought experiment. It is obviously a horrible idea if I want to be as eco friendly as possible.
The idea is: heat everything up to a boiling point every time just to kill the bad stuff, how long can I keep something like this going.
I want to attach a picture of that aweful burned heritage turkey they ate from the sink, but can’t find it. The whole family is like “this is the best turkey ever”.
Here’s a problem. Schools are full of them. They are really, really good for that specific field. People only think about their private use, but education will suffer the most. Or taxpayers, because they have to pay the bill. Again.
I don’t believe you. You just lack the patience. It’s easier to sit back down and watch youtube than to try to juggle for 10 Minutes. I know, it can be a long time, but it will come back. Did you try with two for a few minutes? Patience, my friend, patience!
Lemmy Gold for the delivery!
I could use this sock on the next mountain I’m going to climb as a rope. Can you please give a hint what kind of alien material this is. 3 hellhounds equal one Cerberus. Thats not a sock, that’s Heracles’ Rope!
one of these days I’ll write it down.
Do it now! The internet is so unreliable these days, one day you wake up and - poof - your favorite recipe is gone. You try to find it, then you try to remember the correct ingredients. But it is gone forever. Like a beautiful dream. And every time you cook it something tastes off. Because I didn’t write it down!
Even better during long, boring conference calls…
Juggling is so much fun, if you never tried it you should start immediately. Bring a little bit of patience and you can master 3 balls quite fast. Plus point: it does really good things to your hand-eye-coordination and you will be surprised how much your reflexes can improve with a little bit of regular juggling. Highly recommended!
Just a blank page with NoScript, so I have to pass on that as well…
Mine broke twice in 3 years, exactly the same part. Not sure if I want to repair them a third time. I love the idea that you can repair everything, but at some point it’s just too expensive with the shipping and all.
I have to come back to the training, because that’s exactly my point. You don’t have to test trustworthiness when your dog is properly trained. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but I’ve seen too many owners who don’t understand that concept. Give your dog the right set of rules and he will love your little pack. It does not mean to teach them submissiveness!
Btw, how old is he?
I once paid thousands of euros for a vet clinic with the most sophisticated equipment…to get the wrong diagnosis. Animals are so hard to read and sometimes they just…have a bad day.
From the grainy pic I can only guess some sort of healthy terrier-mix. If there’s some dachshund in him you can tell by the stubornness ;) We had two of those, with a gay poodle as companion. That was a funny pack.
Maybe it’s not the chain but just a bad tummy. Brownie will be fine, looks like he’s in the bestest hands.
Are you doing some training? Because it sounds like there might be more problems underneath which can be fixed with a good trainer, for a better quality of life for Brownie. Try to find a respected (!) trainer, don’t watch tiktok or youtube. They can work wonders and you two will have a better understanding of each other and your relation.
But first, lose the chain. You have to respect this for now. He just needs to feel safe with you, maybe you can redirect his attention later with some play or a walk. If you really want to keep the chain you have to do training, but without knowing the dogs character I can only speculate how long this will take.
Check the top comment, it’s important to understand that the humans need the training, not the dog. It’s behaviour they learned through engagement. Most dogs will stop doing something once they realize it’s not fun. Biggest challenge will be to change your own behaviour around the dog.
May I suggest not to watch videos for dog training? I’m a littel bit vocal about this because I’m working with dogs in a professional setting. We talk about this with the dog handlers and they are furious. There’s just so much wrong info out there, it’s bonkers. They actually have to fix dogs and their humans in their schools.
