Thanks for all the new words!!

[Andit]

so glad we have andit to give us pet training tips, and humor.

have a question andit:

my dogs are totally untrainable, no fooling. they are the stealing food off the table, eat the cat food, chew 10 pairs of shoes and underwear and chew up the damn pencils ds let fall on the floor types. and bark at anything that move or doesn't. you get the idea.

well, missy (golden retriever husky mix, aka the brown one) whines til it drives you insane. gets on everyones nerves. if you go near her she goes nuts at the door, put her out, she barks comes back in same thing over again. she has food, water, pats? she's 11 years old, and finds it hard to walk on one leg (arthritis i think), but anyway, her whining is bad at times.

suggestions?

Sorry for the delay getting back to you. The brats & I went to my parents to do our annual "remove the decorations from the xmas tree & reminisce over each one" routine.

No one is untrainable...well, except for male humans. My dog was 6 months old when I got her & was a wild child, so wild that one trainer I contacted told me she could never be trained. My cat was a feral kitten that the local humane society told me to put down because he was too wild to ever be tamed. I'm glad I just don't listen to experts.

First thing, with the arthritis, is Missy on glucosamine? It`s a joint supplement (cheapest source is Walmart). You might want to mention it to your vet at her next check-up.

Most trainers will say that whining is a sign of stress. It can also be a sign of frustration. Sounds to me like it`s more of an "I want it!" cry, especially since she has Husky (talk about vocal) in her. She's likely bored & wants attention. Do you go out with her? Also does she know any tricks?

There's a protocol called No Free Lunch or Nothing In Life Is Free. Basically, the dog has to work for everything. It should help with the food stealing. Do your dogs know "Leave It" (a touch that & I will murder you command)? Have you worked on any self-control exercises? Both my cat & dog are expected to sit & wait for permission to eat when I put the food bowls down.

Give me a bit more info on what she knows to do & I'll see if I can give you some more pointers.

Thanks I'll give it a try..

Well Kodyac is almost 2 years old. As for her obedience it is lacking big time. I have been trying to work with her. We got her almost a year ago from a friend who let her do whatever whenever, yep even CHASE CATS. Now Kodyac would leave Gomer alone but he was a big fat cat and he would pop her and let her know he was in no mood for her BS. She stares, she barks, she drolls, she does not blink, she growls, she does NOT wag her tail, she has short stubby floppy ears that do not ever move, I am sure I am leaving some stuff out. Its late and I am beat.. Prancer is driving Dasher crazy.. Because Gomer liked to play where Dasher well she does NOT like to, after a while she will give in and then smack Prancer aroound..

Here's another thought. Prancer might also be triggering Kodyac, because he no longer has his playmate as an outlet. Maybe your son could train the kitten to do some tricks to keep Prancer occupied & tire him out? Tell him all his friends will be jealous that he has a trained cat. I've got a couple of videos on youtube of what my cat can do to give you a few ideas (youtube.com/lilyquincy).

WOW you guys have been real busy with the word hunt - Thank you,
thank you for your constant hard work.


Have a question for you guys - Is it OK for the Super / Owner to come
into your apartment at any time and not for an emergency?
Yesterday they came around checking the smoke detectors; I was home
but the people next door didn't answer so they let themselves in.

Don't they have to give notice before going in? When I lived in Windsor
and Toronto, a notice was given prior to them coming in for whatever.
I have images of being 'unpresentable' and having someone walking in.


It's a cold day but oh so sunny - hope you all have a great day!

RT when I lived in an apartment the maintenance man would come around occasionally to check certain things like putting a new filter on the heating unit, spraying for insects, etc. & they would not give advance notice. I can remember I was at home sick one day & he knocked on the door & before I could make it to the door he opened it & came in. It scared both of us to death!!

Andit, thanks for sharing that video. He looks so alert and interested, only looked around that one time. I know you can train cats since my dad taught our cat to sit up and beg but lol she was easy to train since she went absolutely nuts over cookies, he used those and shoot she would of jumped thru burning fire to get one. It was so funny mom had a jewelry party one time and served cookies at it. One of the ladies was taking a bite of her cookie when Gimlie reached over and took the cookie away from her lmao was too funny that woman was shocked to say the least. She was a really neat cat tho. She loved the coated bands for your hair, the little coated rubberbands or whatever is inside. We'd hide them all over the house and it was a huge house, 5 bedroom, and she'd find them bring them back to us to hide again and you could never hide them in the same place twice cuz she'd find it in minutes flat. Really cool cat she was a calico. She had kittens i think there was 6 of them. any time she'd leave them for any time our poodle would kittysit them until she came back (frustrated momma who'd had puppies a couple times but none were born live). lol got to the point that Gimlie would start meowing and Coco would come, then Gimlie would leave go do her thing and Coco would watch over her babies, you couldn't get near them when Coco was kittensitting was too cute.
Does anyone know what I need to do so I can see the google ads on here that Nortons is blocking, least I think it is nortons doing it. How could I set it to see them but block other sites?

very cool pets you have andit, I would love to train my cat, she does love to notify us when her bowl is running low, not empty just getting low..lol..but thats it

I have taught Prancer (Kitten) to do high 5.. Dasher (cat) can shake.
Kodyac aka the horse can shake.

Thanks for all the new words..

Gave reps where I could..

Will write more later..

Everyone stay safe ...
