12:26:05 -HEE Click- Thoughts on this |
12:24:15 My dog was taught to pick stuff off the floor like keys. I put a bobble keychain on it so she could easily pick them up. She also would bring the mail from the mailbox into the house. She loved the small jobs. When she was younger, she could also spend two hours running in the dog park or the backyard.
It made her feel useful, it made her calmer in the house, and easier in public. She loved meeting new people, especially kids, and she was a BIG dog, so she was taught she had to lay down to meet someone new, and then she would present her belly for rubs (one of her absolute favorite things). It made her think and respond accordingly to people.
She wasn't the most mannered dog - still would bark at the door and if she knew the person would jump on them and lick their ears.
Not all dogs are perfect but |
12:19:23 Sorry for the whole rambling rant - training and behavior are a HUGE passion for me.
There are great clicker training podcasts. My favorite is Equine Clicker 101, as it gives a step by step guide to the session and also what to do for troubleshooting situations.
There's a few people who are on the Video Social Media who give training tips and ideas for keeping an energetic dog. Like small things you can do is make meal time interesting and a challenge - scattering kibble in a towel and rolling it up, or in a ball, or a frozen peanut butter Kong. Anything that makes them take longer to eat and have to use their brain.
Something mentally challenging is almost as energy depleting as something physically challenging.
Having a job can also promote self confidence in a dog. Something simple like bringing you the re |
12:13:47 Oriyana Strut you want mares strong in M and I. St wouldnÂ’t hurt either |
12:11:19 Training a service dog was one of the most rewarding experiences I've had. She loved having a job - from being a mobility guide, anxiety helper, and even household chores like putting dishes in the sink, garbage and recycling, and putting laundry in the basket.
Training is one of those things that is always happening - every time you interact with anyone, you are teaching them how to interact with you. If you let a horse or dog take up your space, they will then you think that that's an okay behavior. Sometimes sessions are about fun things like crawl and roll over, sometimes it's experiencing a new environment and relaxing, and other times it's going back to basics. Have fun - do dog things Work on manners - in th house Work on tasks You can't demand perfection all the time, they should be allowed to be an animal, but make it interesting and fun to do different things all the time. Even if it's something small. |
12:01:05 Kitty The only thing my dog retained in training, is good girl spot and finish, means pee and poo. hahaha other things because of being a Chihuahua mix and selective do and hearing |
11:59:49 Strut -HEE Click-
like what am i supposed to look for |
11:59:32 Strut ok i have a question.
to get a better rating what should i breed this guy to?? |
11:50:49 Sway Yep I trained my dogs myself🙂 not much to say with Minga lol cause she tries to murk people and ity her jumps sometimes, but my rescue Shiya and my dog Ive had since I was 10(LiLi) I both trained. LiLi and I did 4H dog club, and got BIS at the show:) |
11:45:51 Hummer @Lucky, I just need to find the time and energy! 😉 |
11:35:10 Stitch Going new places can also be a good workout. We take our pit mix out to new hiking areas whenever we can and all of the new things really help to wear him down. |
11:34:47 lucky I bet you could teach him yourself as long as they have decent drive its pretty easy to teach dogs to do a job |
11:28:55 Hummer Yeah, I should probably look into teaching him some more things. We used to go to dog-friendly stores to train and I still take him to them, but he is familiar with it. |
11:26:56 Sun/Sunny -HEE Click- What a pretty colt *_* |
11:26:32 Hummer The trainer we worked with offers sessions in weight pulling or similar "job like" things, but they are freakin expensive. |
11:26:30 Sway You can make jobs like teaching them to assist you with daily tasks, hiding things and getting them search for them, all sorts of things |
11:24:52 Hummer Oh, that's fun! My dog would probably be scared of the wagon or cart being behind him. XD |
11:23:47 Sway Drafting is essentially what sled dogs do, but with a tiny cart! Like horses do pulling carts or carriages. Minga loved it, and would get so excited anytime I pulled out her harness. Our little wagon broke sadly, so she has not done it in quite some time. |
11:22:11 Sway (My dog, Minga, was supposedly from the girls female blue am bully, but she later told me they rescued the litter from a bush before their eyes were open🤨 |
11:21:44 Hummer I guess I'm not sure what "jobs" are available for dogs that are mostly just pets except agility. |

Ella had been around horses before she could even walk. Her mother used to take her down to the stables when she was young and honestly she loved every minute of it. As Ella grew older she began to get more experience with the horses. She would show every weekend and would always been down at the stables all day everyday. A few years later Ella decided to start her own team of elite show jumpers. Most of them were very successful and once they were retired they would be turned out in the field to live there days out and if they were healthy enough they were put into foal. Ella then decide she wanted to take her skills further and applied for they yearly brumby round up which took place every year in February. So as they date neared of the muster Ella made the long trip to were the brumbies would be held for a couple of days. Ella was excited and also nervous as this was her first time doing something like this but everyone had faith in her and knew she could do it. The day of the round up Ella was leaning on the fence as she watched the first group of brumbies being brought in. As they ran into the pens, she studied each of them but didnt find anything that caught her eye so she decided to wait and to see what the other horses were like. Group after group the brumbies were brought in but still none that Ella wanted until the last group of brumbies were brought in. Ella climbed upon the fence and got a better look. She eyed up what seemed to be a bay stallion with 2 back stockings and a blaze. The stud seemed to be confused but there was just something about him that made Ella pick him. "I'll take him" Ella called as she pointed to the stud, two guys nodded and moved him away from the herd and into a separate pen. Ella went back and scanned the herd again, this time spotting a dark brown mare with what seemed to be light highlights on her body and a big star on her forehead "I'll also take that mare to" she said. Ella watched as the mare was moved into the pen next to the stud she had chosen. She jumped off of the fence and walked towards the pen, she sighed this was just the beginning.
