Two weeks with Aurora! Here's a recap of life so far.

Our targeted socialization was pretty successful, we managed a bunch of different experiences and she rocked them.

Monday: Busy street at rush hour

Tuesday: Train station

Wednesday: Construction site

Thursday: Bike path next to train line

Friday: Outside a coffee shop

Saturday: Baby hike in the wild

She's still doing great in overall good citizen behaviours. She has specifically been crushing:

✅ Sleeping through the night

✅ Name recognition

✅ Basic training skills

✅ Recovering from being startled

✅ Being crated quietly

Honestly she's doing amazing, I am so so proud of her. 💜

Areas for improvement for the week include:

✴ Bullying Pike (which is improving but still not great)

✴ Demand barking and overall noise level

✴ Chewing on the couch in excitment

Our biggest victories this week include:

🎉 Baby hike 2.0 with beautiful ranging, reasonable baby recall, and great enthusiasm

🎉 Calling off play with Pike on multiple occasions

Our big goals for next week:

🚀 Less harassment of Pinecone

🚀 Working through the foundation levels of the baby conditioning class I'm taking

Really excited for the next few weeks with this girl! 💜

One of the ways I've found to be kinder to myself is reminding myself I'm an animal and functionally I behave like one. It's easy to get caught up on things you did in the past, but you don't judge a wolf for killing a fawn, so it's just as not fair to judge yourself for shit you did when you were a kid. Yeah you did stupid shit as a teen, that's what teens do.

Maybe my parents feel the same way about me as I do about my dog

I had a goal, some expectations for her, and I did lots of research to be able to give her only the best and how to teach her right. But it’s way harder than I thought it’d be and she has some issues that I just don’t know how to solve on my own. I’m not disappointed that she’s not what I imagined but I do wish she was better

my downstairs neighbours, who are fans of playing the same 10 seconds of the same 3 rave remixes - one of which is the thomas the tank engine theme tune - on repeat for hours at the highest possible volume each day, have recently discovered that they can also play andrea botcelli's con te partiro on repeat for hours at the highest possible volume each day. in between the same 10 seconds of the same 3 rave remixes (one of which is the thomas the tank engine theme tune).

To make a point to the males in my family

Is it IRRESPONSIBLE to let an untrained dog have free reign to wander without a leash?

[catzgam3rz]

Trying to beam into my upstairs neighbours head that yelling for your dog to come does not imbue it with the power of recall you gotta actually teach them that shit

How To Stop Your Dog from Barking 

Hey there, fellow dog lovers! 🐾 If you’re reading this, chances are you’re dealing with a barking dog and looking for some effective ways to bring peace and quiet back into your home. As a dog trainer, I’ve seen it all, and I’m here to share my top 10 methods to help you stop your dog from barking. Let’s dive in!

1. Identify the Cause

Before you can effectively stop the barking, you need to understand why your dog is barking. Is it boredom, anxiety, territorial behavior, or something else? Observing your dog’s behavior and triggers will help you address the root cause.

2. Provide Mental and Physical Stimulation

A tired dog is a quiet dog. Make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Long walks, playtime, and puzzle toys can help burn off excess energy and reduce barking.

3. Teach the “Quiet” Command

Training your dog to understand the “quiet” command can be incredibly effective. Start by allowing your dog to bark a few times, then say “quiet” in a calm, firm voice. When your dog stops barking, reward them with a treat and praise. Repeat this process consistently.

4. Desensitize to Triggers

If your dog barks at specific triggers, such as the doorbell or other dogs, gradually desensitize them to these triggers. Start by exposing your dog to the trigger at a low intensity and rewarding them for staying calm. Gradually increase the intensity over time.

5. Use Positive Reinforcement

Reward your dog for good behavior. When your dog is quiet and calm, give them treats, praise, and affection. Positive reinforcement helps your dog associate quiet behavior with positive outcomes.

6. Create a Calm Environment

Sometimes, dogs bark because they’re anxious or stressed. Create a calm environment for your dog by providing a comfortable space, using calming music, or trying pheromone diffusers. A relaxed dog is less likely to bark excessively.

7. Avoid Reinforcing Barking

It’s important not to inadvertently reinforce barking. If your dog barks for attention and you give in, you’re teaching them that barking gets them what they want. Instead, ignore the barking and only give attention when your dog is quiet.

8. Use Bark Control Devices

There are various bark control devices available, such as ultrasonic devices or citronella collars. These can be effective in deterring barking, but should be used as a last resort and under the guidance of a professional trainer.

9. Practice Consistency

Consistency is key when training your dog. Make sure everyone in the household is on the same page and follows the same training methods. Mixed signals can confuse your dog and make training less effective.

10. Seek Professional Help

If you’ve tried everything and your dog is still barking excessively, it may be time to seek help from a professional dog trainer or behaviorist. They can provide personalized guidance and help address any underlying issues.

Remember, patience and persistence are essential when training your dog. With time and effort, you can help your furry friend learn to bark less and enjoy a quieter, more peaceful home. 🐶✨

constantly being reminded that the standard acknowledge-enough formula for getting guard/guardian dogs to stop barking does not work on many other dogs

I think being autistic does actually make me inherently better at animal handling because I, too, have been yelled at for growling and biting when everyone ignored my previous warnings and didn’t set clear boundaries

The nice thing about my job so far is that I went a whole shift talking to multiple people and none of them gave me any of the usual "ah you know how it is. It's a job. You have to live with it." I've heard that nearly every place I've ever worked, and everyone here has been so willing to tell me how much I'll like it here. It's a really, really nice change. Bob's Burgers was playing in the daycare yesterday. I couldn't hear it over the dogs, but the vibe was nice.
