I’m a horse nerd and an unashamed photography nerd

Dogs, dog training and sports, parrots, horses. But especially dogs

Currently training this muffin to do...well everything specifically agility, rally(we've already done shows in rally so I consider it her main sport), obedience, scent work, maybe CAT, therapy dog, and we are in lessons for CGC right now. Oh and I've thought about dock diving too. She's a busy girl and enjoys it

Yeah she's definitely enjoying life. I don't think they were intentionally cruel... just ... negligent.


Thank you. When his barking gets out of hand, I use a shaker can. It's an empty water bottle with dry beans in it (just a handful). I shake it to make a noise. If he doesn't stop, I throw it at him. He's been beaned with it, but not intentionally, so he respects it. I threw it once and he kind of walked into it. I couldn't hit him on purpose if I tried, and I wouldn't! You can't aim these things, lol.

Getting beaned with beans would make my dog stop barking

I can talk all day about history...

Me too!

Sent work for a Pyrenees? How is that coming? Mine can track people given a scent article. I thought about search and rescue for him, but he doesn’t really have the best temperament for it. He is very clingy and doesn’t like strangers. I also use him to find the eggs that the chickens have hidden in the yard

We've only done a couple sessions but it's going surprisingly well, we are working with oils. It's one of my newer ideas for her

That's so cool he can track people! And the egg finding must be helpful

That’s cool!! When you say sessions, is it something you are doing by yourself or is it a group of people? The eggs are very helpful! I used to have one hen that absolutely refused to lay in the nest. It was hilarious though, because a couple of times he alerted to the garden bed. At first I was confused because I didn’t see any eggs, then I realized we had just put out crushed eggshells

By myself, I'd like to find a group to do snake aversion training with though.

That would be cool. What kind of oils are you using?
