#gentle leader

[3liza]

more dog advice: if you have a big dog or a dog who pulls, i highly recommend a head harness. it's basically a horse halter for dogs and it is an excellent, fast way to fix like 80% of leash pulling basically instantly without pinching or poking the dog.

dogs love to pull with their necks and shoulders so basic flat collars can sometimes just be ignored by dogs who are already used to being bad walkers. Gentle Leader is the original brand name but I think any brand is basically the same these days. I think getting a black one or as close to your dog's nose color as possible is best because the visual intrusion seems to bother them. it's really important to introduce it to them with a shitload of treats and desensitization because having a loop on your nose feels weird to them and they need to be rewarded and praised and distracted from noticing it or they will get obsessive about trying to take it off. WATCH SOME VIDEOS ABOUT IT TO SEE THE TECHNIQUES FOR INTRODUCING THE HALTER, do Not just put it on the dog, especially if he's under 2 years old. if you condition a fear response to the halter you're just going to make everything worse

some dogs will never accept it and it will raise their anxiety level, but they are in the minority. ultimately training good leash manners is about patience and boring repetitions but the head harness is the closest thing to a quick fix you can get because 90% of them physically cannot pull anymore with the leash attached to their heads.

they can still pant, eat, drink and bark with the halter on, it doesn't hold their mouths closed but some halters will close the dog's mouth when pressure is applied and then release it when the leash is loose again. this doesn't hurt the dog. having control of their heads also makes it faster to redirect them away from sniffing or eating things they're not supposed to, which adds a layer of safety.

to make sure you have a safety line to the dog at all times people usually use either two leashes attached to the halter and a body harness or flat collar respectively, or have a safety clip attached from the halter to the dog's usual collar. this is in case the head halter slips off or the dog paws it off their head.

this type of halter doesnt work on brachycephalic dogs for obvious reasons

Highly recommended product: The Gentle Leader.

Our pups are terrible on traditional leashes but with the gentle leader, they are completely different dogs.

Make it’s easier and fun to walk our pups and it’s also a must have for training.

Kabu likes to play TAG with his pokemon... and he's shown to have a much softer side beneath his strictness in pokemas too... he's so grandpa-shaped to me 😭💖

I love Rosie's talk to the new pilots, echoing what Buck and Bucky have been doing (about not giving tips) since the first ep, but especially the way he says it:

"Each flight is it's own lesson, maybe YOU will be giving me your words of wisdom"

ROSIE I CAN'T!!!

This was the least crowded block of the farmers market. We had just gotten freshly made Woofles (apple cinnamon puppy waffles) and decided to head home. You can practically hear her saying, "Those are mine. I know they are. You had me pick them out. Can I have one now?"

I'm going to keep pushing myself to video us. It's hard for me to multi-task, and it makes me horribly uncomfortable. It also worries me that I am not paying enough attention to her. A big part of my training was to use her as a grounding technique, so I get very anxious when I use my phone.

But, I want to better our heel and start to learn more tricks. Watching the videos of us will help me see things from a different angle and hopefully help me improve.

I did miscommunicate with her that we were turning right and stopping at the crosswalk. I can not get mad at her for something that's my fault. At least we didn't run into anyone or anything!

We don't have to be perfect

Little rant incoming I hope you don't mind 😮‍💨

actually a lot of jinki duos and moments in general don't get attention and it makes me kinda sad, but it is what it is. I just wish some of those moments could go viral so that more people could see what type of person he is but it hardly ever happens nowadays. I know twitter viralability doesn't really mean anything at the end of the day, but it's just frustrating because I know so many of these moments would've taken off if it were between other members (I hope no one takes this as hate against the other members, this is more my frustration with the fandom not really paying attention to jinki and misinterpreting his interactions with the members like you said)

yeah i agree, even alone tbh

Kabu's random conversation lines ❤️‍🔥

Pokémon Masters EX spoilers ahead!

Random conversation 1:

Pasio isn't just home to young Trainers, but to veteran Trainers as well! I can learn from veteran Trainers and get inspired by the young ones. It's truly ideal!

Random conversation 2:

I'm going to train with other Fire-type users next time. Would you like to join us, (Player)? You won't regret it— our top-notch training will leave you burning red-hot!

Random conversation 3:

There was a time when I kept losing, and I was struggling to figure out what to do. But during a battle against Leon, I realized my potential, and forged a new path because of that. There is no such thing as a dead end in the long road of life!

Every day was a challenge back then, but I toughed it out— and the experience changed me. When faced with a problem, it's important you take some time to think about ways to tackle it instead of just giving up. I'm glad I got to pass all of this on to you!

Random conversation 4:

I'm often regarded as the first real roadblock of Galar's Gym Challenge. As such, I've watched many a dispirited Trainer abandon the Gym Challenge after losing to me... When Trainers actually managed to defeat me, I make a point to see them off when they leave Motostoke.

Where there are winners, there are losers... That's the harsh reality of battling. But hanging your head and moping won't change anything! Just like how fire burns upwards, when things are tough, keep your head high!

Random conversation 5:

Maintaining a career as a Trainer doesn't juat mean staying sharp in battles— you have to tend to your health as well! Eating, exercising, sleeping... Your day-to-day life is a part of your training as well!

Random conversation 6:

Seeing young trainers work hard sets my soul ablaze with determination! As long as we're alive, we should keep on learning and training!

Random conversation 7:

No matter what you do, the most important thing is never forgetting where you started. With the right care, you can keep the fire in your heart burning indefinitely. That's why I'll always consider myself a challenger!
