Living with a shiba is no different than living with a velociraptor. (Sound on)

I appreciate that you put thought into whether you can put enough time/resources into a new dog though. some people adopt pets with no plans for how they'll care for them but it's nice to see you taking it seriously. idk does that make sense. serious dog ownership

HEY HI I APPRECIATE THAT SO MUCH because I do try really hard to be a Responsible dog owner. everyone remembers, I was over-preparing for the day we brought Hugo home as a puppy lmao

[hazard-and-friends]

we did train every day last week i just did not remember to post about it. so we continue on this.

anyway shoutout to k'seil's friday:

40 min walk with hazard where she was largely problem-less

sat in car quietly for an hour while i worked with a client

then met the human half of the client with FOUR FEET ON THE GROUND U GO BABY

took her to work on the impression that she would be in the car for 2 hrs while i ran puppy play and nosework class, so ran her stupid in the field with a chuckit and some work on cues for 20 min

THEN one of the puppies cancelled so she subbed in and let a 17 week parson russell beat her up for 30 min

then my nosework students bullied me into running her as well

so she did 2 runs of 3 searches each, on birch--not first time on the odor but first time in that room, and because all of the students in that class are reasonably advanced, in a complicated search area as well, where i was demoing handling skills and so expressly not supporting her--and fucking nailed them all

and THEN she came home and passed the fuck out

I have not done any bitework really since the seminar (and it was a while before then even) so she is SUPER rusty but I kidnapped another person to feed to the dog get bit by my dog help out with some basic decoy-ing! She is pretty nervous around bigger dogs (people consider Tassie big? Wild) but she really wanted to do it anyways and was a very good sport about it.

Huge milestone for Tassie today with her, usually when I tell Tassie to bite a stranger she goes "Ugh I guess" but today she said "OKAY! :D" and absolutely did not hesitate to put a full bite onto my poor helper. I was actually not expecting that and had actually told my helper that Tassie would probably barely interact with her. Oops.

Timestamp explanations since traffic is so loud:

Right from the get-go I had my first indication that Tassie was way fucking overdue for this because she could not keep the sleeve out of her mouth. This continued for most of the session, as seen by the fact that she keeps focusing on the sleeve and trying to take potshots at it.

0:50 helper took her first bite and went "Okay I don't think I want to do that again" and I switched gears to other ways she could help, mostly by being a big distraction for her.

3:00-ish I tell my helper to yell at Tassie and call her names. My helper is the nicest person in the entire fucking world so hearing her scream "TASSIE YOU'RE A BITCH" was the funniest fucking thing in the world, especially because it was immediately followed by "YOUR MOMMY WANTS ME TO SAY BAD WORDS TO YOU!"

3:40 Emergency Out rehearsal! As I explain to my helper after, this is trained and practiced just often enough to keep it fresh just in case something might happen where I need to stop my dog while she's going for a bite, like say the decoy trips or god forbid a child runs onto the field. I like to know it's there!

Immediately after this Tassie lets me know she is extremely overheated so we take a brief break to spray her down with the hose and cool her down, to return at about 6:00 where my helper lets me know she wants to try the sleeve again. I put her closer to the dog so Tassie has less room to build up momentum, and we work on some self control a bit. It does not go anywhere near as well as it should because it's been so long but we hammer it back (side note, the reason we're struggling to slip the sleeve is because it's padded so thick that the satin liner on the inside basically creates a vacuum with our sweat. It is genuinely a struggle to remove it, especially with a dog attached applying pressure at a super inconvenient angle)

8:40-ish we try to revisit barking. Tassie has apparently forgotten all the work we've put into barking. I eventually settle for two very sad baby barks. I'll have to revisit it.

10:30 I've been starting to apply some additional pressure on her as she's coming in for the bite, mostly by swinging the clatter stick at her as she's coming in. Only took two tries to get her solid on it when we started, so I might have to find something else soon! This works for now though.

11:30-ish I parked her in the shade to cool down and had my helper straddle her in a down stay while I was a decent distance away. Helper put additional pressure on Tassie by squeezing her ribs with her feet and fidgeting. Tassie pinned her ears back a few times but otherwise completely ignored her!

12:30-ish we wrap up with a running bite, which is Tassie's favorite thing to do so I like to end with one. She does not time it very well and barely pinches the end of the sleeve with her canines and almost gets my fingers, and it took a few attempts to get her to regrip properly. Not the best but it was 85 degrees out so I let her end with it, she was working really hard for me in this heat and I wanted to end on a strong note.

Not much due to the warm weather but Luc and Sammy did so well.

It is so much fun to watch them.

- hurdle

- hurdle (out)

- tunnel

- hurdle

We tried two different ways (hard to describe, I hope it is understandable, I am sorry).

1. Was that Sammy took the second hurdle (out) at the right side, jumping to Luc, into the tunnel.

2. Was that Luc called Sammy over the first hurdle to him, pushed him into an "out" at the second hurdle and told Sammy to walk away at the other side into the tunnel.

Did I break the record?

[pawsitivevibe]

Oh my puppy is going to be a Hoopers star.

I think this is the most obstacles Arthur's ever done in a row. Look at my boy go!! We've gotten over the phase of him running away and refusing to engage as soon as the leash came off. We are very engaged!! He actually did an even better, faster run with less luring from me after, but of course I wasn't recording it.
