Dog thread!🐾

It's not really a "last resort", I agree. But it IS more sharp of a reminder than the martingale. With my horse training background, I know that it's important to teach the animal to respond to the gentlest of commands. While using something "harsher" or just more abrupt in general can be helpful, the animal will no longer respond as well to those lighter commands. Obviously horses and dogs aren't the same, lol, but there is crossover.

That is a very good point I like the way you think

I love training in general! I think it would be fascinating to put horse and dog techniques together.

I personally am fascinated with the idea of applying horse training techniques to children.

Had a nice walk with Brew this evening AND I successfully gave him a bath LOL he’s actually quite good for baths BUT! I warned him this time by accident so he hid first

Vet got back to us! Not really worrisome, probably fly bites. No need to go in unless it seems to be something else, but that's what it looks like. I'll just keep an eye on it and keep washing and fly spraying to make sure it doesn't get worse, or catch it if it does. It's the end of the season anyways, so in a few weeks I expect the flies won't be much of a problem. My biggest issue is occupying him in order to clean it.
