Touched slime for the first time in memory today. The fun toy kind, not the mysterious substances kind. And have determined this is exactly how ectoplasm should feel and behave.

I get a lot of asks about training advice and I'm always like "well I am not a professional in any capacity" and also I forget every book I have ever read etc the moment someone asks me, but I remembered at random today that my very talented friend has written a really amazing training book that I think would be especially good for the people who tend to ask me this, bc Bridger has ADHD (LIKE DO MANY OF US) and is therefore really good at breaking things down into digestible chunks! this is one of the things I find most challenging about training so I think this is an extra valuable thing to have in a book.
It's mostly training basics for people who are beginners, but in a way where you can use the info the build a LOT of skills once you grasp the basics, and I really vibe with Bridger's ethics around training as well.
it's called Level Up Your Dog Training by Natalie Bridger Watson and I'm going to provide a couple different links where you can get it.
Amazon link:
Support a small business link:
(Bridger adds: "Also for accessibility, there is a large print paperback edition (Amazon only) and a digitally-narrated audiobook (Google Play only, trying to get it available more places). Am aware of the ethical implications of AI narration and would like to replace this with a human-narrated version when I can, but that costs $1,000-$2,000+ to hire out, so the not-ideal compromise is digitally-narrated for accessibility in the short term with plans to do better when I can.")
Anyway this is a really great book and not recommended as often as it should be bc it's just not one of the standard go-to books (yet!!!) so I thought I would plug it and in doing so answer all the training rec asks I get all the time and am so bad at answering 🤣

“Dogs are not stubborn, spiteful, or withholding. They either haven’t been adequately taught and the behavior sufficiently proofed, or they have not been motivated to act. There are no other options.
In a related development, training in the scientific manner also requires that massive and personally challenging thing called a paradigm shift (with apologies for resorting to a cliché, but it is the only shoe that fits here). One must get out from under historically weighty beliefs, which also happen to be utterly wrong, of how dogs work.
As with a bridge, though, these conceptions of dogs amount to pilings that are sunk deep, through multiple geologic layers of belief. You have to pull them out from the sucking notions of free will. And beneath that from wishful thinking. And beneath that from bedrock beliefs of what we’re all doing here in the first place.
Oh, is that all? Just change the worldview bequeathed to you by thousands of years of Western thought, and you, too, can get your dog to come when called.”
— Melissa Holbrook Pierson, The Secret History of Kindness (2015)

Speaking of Just Dog Things (for Callisto): you know that thing where people talk to their dogs using keywords that SPECIFICALLY provoke head-tilts? I like that thing.

Oh god yeah, his crew DEFINITELY does that to him. He’s a wood burning engine too so his fireman will just randomly bring over his favorites like “oh who’s a good train???? You want some white oak?? Huh?? Oh, you want some walnut? Some pine?”
And the whole time his flag ears are PERKED and he’s doing the dog head tilt like a madman whistle going CRAZY bell going crazier :)))

Ya know, life to a chihuahua must be fairly alarming
Theyre so small, can be on the fragile side
Most things are much bigger than they are and could hurt them pretty easily
I know coyotes in particular are a fairly big threat to them, which i can only imagine how a chihuahua feels when facing a coyote
Coyotes arent even that big but compared to chihuahuas
And then theres things like hawks or owls, which has gotta be even spookier
Like jus being out in the world knowing some large beast could swoop down and snatch you off
Happened to my 2nd grade teachers dog, it was in their yard and an owl grabbed it and carried it off
Fortunately, theres those dog vests, with spikes and sticks on them that help protect chihuahuas and other small dogs from this kinda thing
And i know not everyone is going to buy or use them, but hey, its nice that they exist
And now you might be wondering "What in the world does this have to do with Httyd?"
And the answer to that is very simply you see
Dragons, of course, are very large predators, they can easily swoop down and grab someone, and even the smaller dragons could likely scoop up a child
Now, as we all know, theres no dragons in our world
A tragedy, but nevertheless, a fact
And obviously httyd's world has dragons, its kinda in the name
Furthermore in our world, Vikings didn't wear horned helmets, it's just not the case, they didn't have them
But in httyd, they do
so essentially what im saying is

“How to train your undead/demon/feral monster boyfriend, a guide by Steve.” 
(I’m throwin in the towel on this one its done lol.)
I have a comic I’ve been slowly chipping away at where Vecna makes Kas, but doesn’t “activate” him/ doesn’t activate him correctly, so when he does wake up, he promptly decides Steve is his hivemind Queen and his job is to serve him. 
Steve eventually helps a completely fucking feral Eddie regain most of himself but gets to deal with having a monster boyfriend who a) keeps bringing him dead shit and b) keeps bringing him Upside Down critters he “claims” away from Vecna on behalf of Steve. 
Then Vecna wakes up from healing to discover his fancy new war general is not only literally sleeping with the enemy, he’s fucking stealing soldiers while he’s at it.

Unexpected point of interest: what owners of various dog breeds used to proof their recall prior to the invention of the electric collar
So far I've learned to train a german pointer it's best to carry a slingshot, while for german shepherds it's enough to throw your keys at them.
