It would be terrible. Things are going up so fast I can’t believe it. Gas is up 40 cents a gallon in just a couple of weeks.

Thanks Texas weather.

Oh, yeah. I know people that worked for the city and don’t get SS because they pay into cal pers. they had to go out and get a regular job for so many quarters to get Medicare.

wait what??? well crap.

what is wrong with people ? View attachment 2559540

I've had trainers suggest I do this before, wrap the leash around their waist.

I like prongs.

they look scary, but they are safer than a flat collar or haltis. They where created by vets to be a safe option for walking your dog. They evenly distribute pressure around the neck, with a plate meant to keep the prongs off the trachea

i only trust the hermsrpinger brand

Prongs if fitted correctly and used correctly are one thing, but....

I only use choke chains for training , and only make quick corrections. Works fine.

See above for prongs.

I like a prong or pinch collar. It doesn't break the long coat on my Shelties, and they learn in minutes not to pull. It also seems the most natural to me, as dogs don't choke each other, they bite, and the action on a properly fitted one feels like a bite if the dog pulls. I don't pull, I give the dog slack. If it tightens, it's only because the dog has pulled. I want the dog to walk on a completely slack line.

Chokes are fine if people use them properly, but so many don't. I had dogs come into my classes with bald areas around their necks, and heat there, too. Not good! Many dogs (cough, Beagles!) will just plow into them and drag their helpless owners down the street, hacking and coughing as they go, bruising their tracheas.. I'd put them straight into a small-link pinch collar and 15 minutes later they'd be walking on a slack line.

It's funny. Doesn't matter the collar, how many times I see people out for walks and the dog is walking them. They (the people) make it look normal but...it's not. Still working on that with Goose. He's pretty good - but sometimes distractions make him forget.

It's easy to say people should just spend time training their dogs, but they need to know how. Gimmicky equipment makes them think there are shortcuts, but there really aren't any. They need to get a good training book, or get into some classes, or at least do some googling.

yup.

Granny, that tank was beautiful. Makes me want to redo mine...but then again, I could never keep it looking that glorious.

Sigh. Reasons why I can never be without a kitchen table lol. It's my makeshift office for my work from home, and it was my sewing table - hubs was using seatbelts to strap in his spare fuel tank in his offroad truck, so I had to throw some stitches in there. Not...a fan of doing this as I don't have any hardcore thread and I wasn't sure if my little sewing machine could (grabbed out ALL my spare needles just in case but didn't need em!) but...lock stitches and cross stitches and many stitches.....hopefully it'll be ok.

So my neighbors on both sides of me are putting their houses up this summer. The one with the eight dogs now(he put one down last week for age related issues - poor guy) and the awesome ones on the other side of us who make us home made pho on a regular basis. Well, it turns out they bought the house assuming the wife's parents were going to be living with them, and extended family and all that jazz but there was a fall out and they don't live with them, so less people contributing financially to the house upkeep...they just can't keep up. I'll miss the everlovin poop out of them - they're good neighbors. Had another of our neighbors the husband was musing about it and moving to a state the wife had never even been to before! so there's dissension in the ranks. I'd be heartbroken if they leave too, very good neighbors.

Anyway, got a bunch of fires to put out at work tomorrow, need freaking clones.

Catch y'all tomorrow...if I don't go completely bonkers lol
