There is an owl at my school.

Deaf dog training log: part 4

Sandor is improving heaps on “Stay”

She used to move as soon as she lost sight of me, but now she can wait a bit for me to pop up again. Gonna keep practicing distance and losing sight

Another clip from yesterday I forgot to post: Sandor is actively looking at me when doing “stay”, exactly what I want her to do

Deaf dog training log: part 3

Yesterday’s training on “Stay” at dinnertime because she’s old so she’ll usually just not move anyway. the beagle in her wants to fossick around for food so now I can test if she’s actually listening instead of being old.

She’s very hard to get the attention of when she’s fossicking! I’ll need to practice “Look at me” with distractions

Sandor is getting the hang of sign commands very quickly, although I think it’s because she’s already trained and just learning new prompts for the same tricks. The only new thing I’ve taught her is “Look at me” by tapping my nose a few times in a row and waiting for her to make eye contact.

Here’s a video of her doing “Come here” (me patting my hip/thigh) and “Sit” (pointing index finger up (you can’t really see the first time) with each correct action getting some “Shine on shine on” and scritches

I’m petsitting/housesitting for my aunt and her dog has gone entirely deaf in her old age so I’m gonna try teach her sign commands

First I am establishing a reward signal, and I have picked “shine on shine on” from watching Ms Frazzled videos on Facebook (I wiggle my fingers). She is not a dog trainer btw she does satire videos about gentle-parenting entitled adults. Anyway every time I give Sandor scritches I smile and do Shine at her to establish the hand signal as a reward because she can’t hear clicker noises. Once she catches on I will teach her commands.

Also here’s your dog tax

I really appreciate the clarification that your specific land-crawling sharks DO in fact like to eat humans (as currently existing sharks do not in fact like to eat or bite humans and it really pisses me off when people assume all sharks operate by Jaws Logic and are bloodthirsty monsters)

You have to choose a new animal to exist on earth right now but it HAS to be both as aggressive and dangerous to humans as a hippopotamus.

Op I genuinely want to put the second image up on the wall in my bedroom I love it so much. (This is not a joke) (do I have ur permission to put on my wall?)
