What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
I always say its the people who need training. Get angry when people talk about their "problem" dogs, want to tell them they are the problem. Looks like you have a new furkid who will be a loyal and loving friend.
I am a pet sitter, and you are 100% correct. Whenever the owners get out of the way, and they’re gone, the animals are much easier to manage, and they listen, and they obey. It’s amazing to see how different animals can be when their owners aren’t around.
I’m gonna be taking animal training courses, and get certified. I’m hoping I can train some animals, while I am pet sitting. My best friend is doing this now as well.
I think a lot of it is due to the fact that many owners are inexperienced and overprotective, the dogs pick up on the fearfulness and stress. When you get to know dog behaviour and how to train and respond to certain situations you become more relaxed and confident.
There was one couple who didn't let their dog near other dogs, said he didn't like being sniffed. Felt like asking if he'd left them a post-it note to that effect - sheer ignorance. Their overprotectiveness led to the poor dog becoming fearful and aggressive. It was off the lead once and ran up tp my dog: they started yelling and running after it. I told them to leave it alone to socialise. Few sniffs waggly tails. There - look, they are fine. Thought that would put an end to their fears but no, it was back on the leash and they dragged it off. Poor thing, tethered to a pair of idiots.
So true!

I've always received compliments on my dogs and how well trained they are. I'm incredible with obedience training for any mutt but I don't have a clue how to deal with people. I'm polite and not necessarily socially awkward but I prefer the company of a dog over a person any day of the week.
Dogs are generally more sensible and intelligent :)
I'm pretty sure they're all conservative
Any sensible dog would be, kek.
