Opinions on GPS trackers for dogs? My anxious ass was planning on getting an AirTag for Kaiju for our trip but upon further research I don’t know if that will be good enough. I’d love something that I can see live tracking instead of a general area.

Dog Cooling Coats UK - Beat The Heat To Keep Your Pup Cool | Pet Devotion

The dog cooling coat is a superior solution for keeping your pup cool in comparison to other methods. While fans and open windows may provide some relief, they do not directly target the dog's body and may not effectively cool down your furry friend. On the other hand, the dog cooling coat uses the principles of evaporative cooling to actively bring down your pup's body temperature. The super absorbent material retains water and releases it slowly, creating a cooling effect on the dog's skin. This targeted cooling helps your pup regulate its body temperature, keeping it comfortable and safe even during the hottest days and nights.

Thinking about human behaviour compared to animal behaviour again.

It's funny to hear people (the older gens) complaining that "kids these days are lazy, they don't wanna work, etc." What do we get for busting our asses? There is no reward. Many will never own homes. Many are unemployed, trying to find work, and nobody will hire them because they don't have a million years experience and a masters degree OR they want people to work for minimum wage??? People are giving up because there is no reward. Why would we do all this for nothing?

Same as a dog that won't recall when you haven't reinforced it with a reward. Your dog isn't going to do what you tell it to if there is no incentive. No, your dog SHOULDN'T listen just because you're boss and it should respect you. That isn't how it works. They don't think that way. And honestly neither do people.

When we went hiking Sprocket wasn't always taking treats gently from me when I recalled her or she checked in and I rewarded and my one friend told me to stop giving her treats. I told him I won't work for free so why should she. And he said "I do things for free all the time because I want to do them," and I didn't say it then, but I wish I had, but if you like doing it, that's the incentive. It's a self-rewarding behaviour. Just like anything else a dog does, like chasing a squirrel or sniffing things or getting into the trash. Heeling instead of going off to sniff stuff or recalling off of something they want to chase is something you have to reinforce. You have to give them something better so they make the choice you want them to make. They won't make it just because they *respect* you. They won't willingly recall off of exciting prey out of RESPECT. You need to give them a tangible reward for that. You cannot possibly expect your dog to listen just because and then punish them for disobeying you.

Yeah, Sprocket bit my fingers a couple times. The one time pretty hard. But she was excited. She knows how to take gently and I reminded her and she tried very hard to be gentle most of the time. I wasn't going to stop rewarding her for checking in with me and recalling while we were off leash hiking in the woods. I want her to know that coming back to me is good and in the event of an emergency I would like her to not blow me off.
