#control unleashed

[albusthefakepitbull]

first control unleashed class ! when we got there she was like dogs ?? but i was like okay but consider i have cookies, she was the only dog that didn’t need an extra visual barrier

we knew some of the exercises already but not all and i mainly wanted to go to work on her dog feelings safely anyway, so i’m glad it was simple stuff for both our brains. she also played with me when i offered to tug as a reward (although i kept it low key for the sake of the other dogs). stoked on her and how nice of a little dog i have

Book recommendations/reviews for my fellow service dog owner trainers:

(I kept reading for years after successfully training my service dog, because autism.)

Forward Together: An Inside Look at Guide Dog Training by Christie Bane

Yes, it's about guide dogs specifically. Yes, it's very long. But it's by far the most detail I've found about the entire process of training a service dog. Read it for the temperament descriptions, read it for the puppy raising chapter, read it for the examples of breaking down complex behaviors into smaller pieces, read it for the discussion of which behavior issues are generally worth the effort to fix vs which issues generally justify a wash out, read it for the consideration of how corrections look to the surrounding public.

The only substantial dislike I have of this book is the escalator section. It's harsh and very dependent on how extremely resilient and forgiving guide dogs have to be. But that's 12 pages out of almost 600 total.

Read it! It's so good! This is genuinely one of my favorite books of any topic, and certainly my favorite service dog book!

Control Unleashed: Creating a Focused and Confident Dog by Leslie McDevitt

This one is written in the context of reactive dogs in agility classes, but most of the exercises are excellent for teaching a dog that potential distractions predict that good things are about to come from the handler! It's especially great for dog distraction training, obviously. Plus great skills for a handler wanting to reduce or avoid punishment in your training!

Some of it seems counterintuitive if you're reading it from a perspective of simply "reward good behavior and punish bad behavior," but it genuinely does work. Looking at it in terms of classical conditioning instead of operant conditioning helps it make a lot more sense.

The Ultimate Service Dog Training Manual by Keagan Grace

"Finally," you say, "something specific to what I'm trying to do!" But this is actually my least favorite of this list. It is a decent wide overview, but doesn't go into complex details or nuances, and was almost entirely information I'd already learned online after a few months of research. The proportion of accurate information is also pretty similar to the internet, meaning there are weird or outright wrong tips mixed in there alongside the helpful parts.

My biggest dislike is the breed recommendations in this book. I think too many guardian breeds are included, and too much benefit of the doubt is given to various designer crosses. But in all fairness, the book also has enough emphasis on genetic temperament and disqualifying traits to mostly offset that. By following the information in this book, a person may waste time looking for the right temperament in a poorly fitting breed, but they probably won't pick a poorly fitting temperament just because of the breed.

This particular book might be helpful if you're brand new to learning about service dogs and prefer to read a book rather than learn online, but otherwise I wouldn't bother. (Read Forward Together instead. It's so good!)

back on werehog bullshit due to unleashed recompiled

[daily-odile]

everything is the same except Odile is the one looping

oh. heheheheh. muahahahaha. hold on *digs through my pile of disorganized sketches*

Odile loops au; a sketch compilation!!

Some old fic drabbles + associated sketches under cut (a6 secret spoilers):

hc: Since equipment carries over, as long as Odile uses her book in a fight, she can write down notes and have it carry over loops

toxic doomed yuri (for a more fleshed out fic I highly recommend The Sweetest Thing by soreimoon, it's amazing)

Comment or reblog with specific classes since there's way too many for one poll. Of course plenty of people level everything but for the lore of it, what do you consider the main one?

If you can't narrow it down to 1, how did you get to those 2+ classes? A reaper who discovered a love of song and became a bard? A botanist on a revenge quest after losing their family? A culinarian who couldn't find what they needed on the market and said fine I'll get it myself?

Optional prompts to think about: Did they grow up learning that class? Fresh in it in MSQ? What do they think of their guild, past or current? Are the class quests even part of your story? If their primary class is a newer one, do they feel bad about giving up their old primary?

I actually think that Clark and Diana once got trapped holding some Leaguer's new baby.

Bruce, walking past the room before walking in: "There you guys are, I couldn't find you anywhere. What's the emergency?"

Diana: "You must help us."

Clark: "Take the kid Bruce."

Bruce: "What?"

Clark, slightly desperate: "I just finished ripping through a mechanical robot destroying Metropolis Bruce."

Diana: "I too came here to unwind after a fight. Our powers--"

Bruce: "I get the picture." *gingerly takes the kid from them and expertly holds it* "How long have you guys been stuck here like this?"

Clark, miserably: "Two hours. My phone got destroyed when Di tried pulling it out of my pocket."

Diana, sheepishly: "She's a cute baby!"

it was a really charming surprise to find out that the song ncuti and millie performed wasn't pre-recorded and that they literally just had to sing it on the fly while dancing around. most sequences like that would have just been lip-synced with the done up vocals being played in the background which always feels a bit inauthentic, but this just adds to the chaos of the scene and makes the stakes feel a bit more genuine, that ruby and the doctor are actually struggling to come up with this song to offer a proper distraction.

I know we talk a lot about how doctor who will always pick practical effects and costume over 'cgi-ed to a buggery', so I feel like this also deserved some acknowledgement

We should have gotten a return of Black Velvet in S2- not the sad little clown man.

ok unleashed post because i finished it last night at 3 am and i desperately need to talk about how much i loved it but oh my GODDD i loved that game so much it was so incredibly fun and i loved every part of it. the music, the story, the cutscenes, the gameplay, the overworlds, the overall setting of the game…. man all of it was SO GOOD ..!!! its not everyday where im genuinely a little sad to finish a game because of how much i enjoyed it, i mean i avoided playing it for the past 2 weeks solely because i knew i was close to finishing it LOL 😭 i am still playing through sonic games and i havent played a lot so far but i think sonic unleashed might be my new favourite sonic game…it was just so fun to play and experience🥹 the story was lovely, i loved sonic and chip’s dynamic and friendship it was so sweet, i will miss their shenanigans a lot (thinking of that cutscene after fighting the phoenix where werehog sonic flicks chip away then chip comes back and kicks him over the head lol) and i will especially miss werehog sonic because i think he is very cute and silly and i love him.

ive wanted to play sonic unleashed since i was little, i used to watch the opening cutscene for it and the extra animations so much because of how cool they were and how good they looked. when i saw the recomp i was so excited and im so glad the game is as awesome as i thought it would be!! i know in some time im gonna be thinking Damn… i wish i could experience sonic unleashed for the first time again

TLDR play the sonic unleashed recomp its so good and awesome and i had so much fun . PEACE AND LOVE

My favorite part of writing Lifeweaver is playing up his usual silly goofy funney guy act, then throwing in a “his family hasn’t talked to him in 10 years” or “every day he grapples with the knowledge that he could be killed at any moment and his creation used to usher in an ecological dystopia the likes of which we’ve never seen before”
