Truly a blessing that in this depressive world, we have a glimmer of sunshine in the form of dogs. After all, when can you ever really stay mad at them? Well, maybe sometimes, if they chew up your favorite sneakers, but even then, not for long.
Unless you’re a dog owner who massively underestimated how much work goes into taking care of a pet and didn’t prepare properly. Then, understandably, you’d end up upset pretty often.

I worked as a grant manager for programs that provide victim services. We had a lot of $ to dole out (my portfolio was about $12M), but nothing like this ever came up. Not sure the boss would have approved funding for something like this in the 2000s, but from what I know, a program like this would be immensely helpful for high level trauma victims and especially for child victims. I could see it ending up with victims being able to adopt the dogs. Maybe some time with kitties could be adapted.

Nothing is more supportive than a good dog in court, during tough interviews &/or medical examinations for abused/abandoned kids. It's amazing how much they help just sitting next to the kids, leaning against them. We don't have kitties (yet?), but I'm proud to say Tampa, FL now has 2 "court dogs". And for biker support, search for BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse). They are angels on wheels & leather.

And it turns out, there are quite a few people like that out there. One study from Forbes Advisor found that nearly three in ten (29%) dog owners in the UK regret their decision to get a dog.
Of those who regret it, nearly a third (32%) say they find caring for a dog too restrictive. Over a quarter (29%) mention the difficulty of going on holidays and having to arrange care. And nearly a quarter (24%) say they simply don’t want to walk their dog every day.

Did you know that many humane societies and shelters allow you to take a few hours of training and then you can take the dogs out for walks or in the playyards n such? It's a great opportunity for those who cannot have dogs to enjoy them, and an even more amazing enrichment opportunity for the dogs.

Many of these are basic aspects of dog ownership, not even counting the financial responsibility or the effort it takes to raise a well-behaved, safe companion.
That includes proper training, which can sound like an intimidating task. So, Bored Panda got in touch with experts in the field to clear up some common myths and offer helpful advice.

My sister bought me a cute little black kitten for Christmas. It died, and was apparently from a mill. This is a little trauma so don't read further. Since it was a holiday, my friend told me to put it in the fridge, for obvious reasons. My sister took the remains back to the chain pet store and yelled at them until they paid her back. Then we went to a local place, and this was the 26th or 27th of December. We look at kitties and the open a cage and one was hanging on the door. I plucked him off and had Neal for 20 years. I affectionately call him my Christmas reject kitty. He knew all of my secrets, never told anyone, and loved me anyway. Edit: This was early 1990s, the window cat was adopted about a year later.

I think whst they mean is the stores show the animals from shelter and the "sale" is you paying the adoption fee. The shelters are usually hidden away ( because people say the support shelters but dont want on "" in my backyard") but pet stores are in popular stores areas.

According to dog trainer and behaviorist Ross Macnamara, training your dog doesn’t have to be long or difficult at all.
“Dogs learn best in short bursts. So even something as simple as a couple of 5–10 minute training sessions each day can be the difference between a dog who constantly ignores you and a dog that is happy and motivated,” he explained.

No no no. I love dogs, grew up with border collies and will eventually have dogs again but I can not abide people allowing their dog to jump. Not everyone likes dogs, even if they do they may not want a dog all over them for a myriad of reasons. It’s poor training and poor manners. If you’re playing with a dog that’s another matter but just out in public etc no.

But if your dog struggles to follow commands, chances are you might only be practicing them in one place—and haven’t even realized it.
“The most common misconception people have, in my opinion, is that dogs are able to generalize well,” dog trainer Steven O’ Hagan told Bored Panda.
“Just because your dog clearly understands a ‘sit’ command in the kitchen does not mean that this automatically translates to another environment. An important part of training is helping our dogs generalize commands in a multitude of environments to allow them to truly understand the command,” he said.

You may also want to reconsider which commands you’re using in certain situations. It’s not always as straightforward as it seems.
Macnamara notes that owners overuse the word “stay,” for example.
“They will often use this to keep their dog in a certain position—like saying ‘sit’ or ‘lie down’ followed by ‘staaaay… staaaayyyy… staaaaayyyy.’ This can be a problem because if you forget to say it or get distracted, the dog might break the position early,” he explained.
To avoid this, he simply gives the original command (like “sit”), then makes sure the dog understands they’re meant to stay there until they hear a release word (“break!”).
“This means my dog knows to stay in the position until he hears the word ‘break!’ and I don’t have to repeat ‘stay! stay! stay!’” said Macnamara.

I couldn’t believe what the vet told me when I took my husky in for a limp. He was totally fine. They had him doing tricks for treats and running laps around the office. What the vet told me? He’s highly manipulative. So when it started being time for me to go to work and I was getting ready… He had already learned that I will stop everything if he’s got an Ouchi. $150 lesson then I’m handing over to you for free… You are welcome. Lol.
Marilyn Holt 6 months ago
My dog had once suffered a broken hip. All better now, but when wanting attention she will limp--just a little.
And just because you have a little pup doesn’t mean they’re too young to train. Giving too much freedom too early in life is one of O’ Hagan’s biggest pet peeves.
“Freedom is earned through a clear understanding of rules and boundaries,” he said.
“It is unlikely your puppy will be in the next room practicing their obedience commands while you cook dinner. It is very important at a young age that we are always monitoring our dogs so they are unable to practice bad behaviors that will eventually become ingrained habits that are hard to break.”
In this case, tools like a crate or a house line can help until your dog is ready for more freedom, once they understand the rules.

For those curious, that dog breed is called a Puli! Their coat is supposed to look like that and they were traditionally/originally bred as herding/shepherd dogs and livestock guardian dogs.
Bill Swallow 6 months ago
Yup. Livestock Guardian Dogs usually have very thick, dense coats. Not only for thermal protection when watching the flocks by night up in the cold mountains, but also serves as armor against predator's teeth.

So yes, there’s a lot that goes into raising a well-behaved dog. But does that mean you can’t do it yourself?
Macnamara believes you can, especially if you’ve done your research on the breed and know how to keep your dog happy.
“However, if they’re looking to get the best possible relationship with their dog, then they will always find value in seeking out an experienced trainer,” he added.
“It’s always a good idea to reach out for help with a professional if you’re seeing behavior issues with your dog, but sometimes prevention is the best medicine. Working with a professional means they can show you exactly what your dog needs and how to give them the best life possible,” he said.

“Make sure you select a trainer with proven results, or one who specializes in the area of behavior you’re struggling with,” he said.
“There is a lot of good information online. However, I often find there is also a lot of bad information that can easily lead to your problems becoming much worse.”

What a wonderful idea! There are probably plenty of people who think having a dog for years is too big a commitment that they can't fulfill, but feel capable of caring for a dog for just a couple of days/weeks. It's a win-win-win-win situation: the shelter volunteers will be less overworked than if they'd have to do everything themselves, the people are gonna enjoy having a dog for a couple of days, the dogs are gonna enjoy getting lots of individual attention for a couple of days, and people may end up getting attached to the dog and keeping it.

No no, this is how I explain it. So every dog (or person) gets the same amount of anger. But the shorter/smaller the dog (or person) the more concentrated and compact the anger is.

🤣 I cannot count how many times I've said this to my own dog! He lunges at people whilst we're walking, and they're taken back (he's a Standard Poodle, so sort of big), so I keep him on a short leash whenever I 8see someone approaching, but almost always he just wants to say hi!

I have custom patches for both Fenring and Stilgar's harnesses that say "PLEASE pet me, I am friendly" and "Yes, you CAN pet me!" XD I know many people respect working/service dogs and both my dogs wear "working dog" harnesses, but I always want to let people know that my dogs are both just attention-sponge divas and everyone has permission to pet them XD

Respectfully, you are full of sh!t. Yes, some breeds, notably toy breeds, should not be left outside 24/7. But some breeds, such as livestock guardian dogs, were BRED to live outdoors and can actually become physically and mentally unhealthy if kept indoors/as "inside dogs". Forcing a livestock guardian dog to live indoors can cause them suffering. Plus, how do you know that Kimba ISN'T a primarily-indoors dog and this is just his shelter for when his family lets him outside? My dog Stilgar has a shelter/"doghouse" built from a modified table in the backyard, but I don't leave him outside 24/7. But he DOES get to go outside. Shouldn't a "farm lass" like you understand the value and importance of enrichment in a dog's life?

My Belgian Malinois has started day-boarding training school and his trainer says they haven't found the perfect "playtime" partner for him quite yet - Fenring isn't aggressive, just uncertain around the other dogs. I told them it's because his best friends at home are my cats, so he might actually be a little shy around other dogs XD (He did grow up with my other dog, but Stilgar is pretty disabled so he's not super "doglike" in some ways.)

No one should be a parent unless you are absolutely excited over the prospect, that goes for humans or dogs. Too many women with kids should have chosen not to be mothers.

Yep, both dogs and all the cats get their waterbowls filled from my Brita pitcher XD However, the dogs' waterbowls that are outside are filled with hose water, because I am Gen X and I feel that they ought to have the experience of drinking straight from the hose just like I did in my childhood. XD

I know it's weird but somehow I sometimes miss the taste of hosepipe water. I also miss bending it and spraying it straight into whoever's face was dumb enough to look into it.

There is inside water and outside water. The inside water is replaced every morning and has to be fresh, the outside water can be a puddle, a flower pot with water in it, a river... or the suspicious bowl which ist a breedings place for new life forms.

As opposed to being crushed in a crowd of people (yuck) who are sloppy drunk and rowdy and have no manners, plus there’s a good chance one of them will drink too much and projectile vomit over the crowd (triple dog yuck), in a club where they play the music at earsplitting decibel levels, no one really has the space to dance, they charge way too much for a small drink, some a*****e is bound to start a fight, and when you get home you need to take a shower and wash the clothes you wore to get rid of that stench of drunken vomiting drink-spilling humanity (and maybe a bit of blood that spattered on you when you passed the a******s who were fighting as you were trying to leave)? Yeah, a nice peaceful night in with my pets (OK, and my husband too, if he’s a good boy) sounds like heaven in comparison.

Mine do too XD They both love it though, as I've made costumes/clothing always a positive experience for them and they only have to wear them briefly while I get a few cute photos. Stilgar (on the left) has one exception - he LOVES to wear his dog baseball cap and refuses to go on a walk without one XD He learned that people fuss over him when he's wearing it (as he's ridiculously cute with it on) and so now he WANTS it on just in case we meet someone on our walks XD stilgar_an...934d6a.jpg

My parents' dog got two hour long walks a day - they lived in a rural area - good food and lots of love, and still ate the bathroom when they went out. It wasn't because she was badly treated, she was a working breed (Australian Kelpie) and just needed real work. She eventually went back to the farm where she was bred and was much happier..
