[Dogs, training] I'm just about finished with Grisha Stewart's BAT 2.0 book, and tucked in an appendix at the back is a really clever bit of social engineering, I thought.
[PSA] Dear General Public: your spitzy-looking mixed breed dog is not a wolfdog, a coydog, nor any other wild canid hybrid.
[Dog Science] I'm a bit late on this, but there's a free livestream about dog genetics and behavior going on this weekend. It's the SPARCS conference on dog behavior.
[My Tiny Terror] This show is. So disappointing. This woman has been training small dogs for... I think she said 4 decades?
[Training] "Checking a dog during a stay isn't aversive"
[Training, Sam] I have tried, for several years with little success, to reward Sam during grooming for "good" behavior.
[Dogs; Rehoming] I've said it before and I'll say it again: as much as I advocate for good research and careful selection before bringing an animal into your home, rehoming a pet you can't care for is not wrong.
[Training] More of a personal thing than I usually do, but I figured some people here might be interested. Just a few things I've just started doing with Sam that I'm trying to make into habit/routine.
[Training] "Teaching your dog tracking will magically fix recall" wut.
[Dog Science/History] For your consideration, this cool brief of a study about one of the most ancient dogs ever discovered and its relationship with humans.
