#owner training

[mandana-the-service-pup]

Service dogs are not exempt from local dog registration in the United States so we went to our City Hall to pay our annual $10 fee. They were closed for renovations so we had to leave without dropping it off.

We were already prepped for public access training so I took her grocery shopping instead. It was my first time driving since starting Methotrexate and I felt even more dizzy & nauseous than I usually do while driving. There are some driving warnings on the Rx so I’m thinking it’s related. I will have to be extra cautious until I figure out the details.

My main focus was public access training so shopping was slow. It amazes me how she always seems to be improving even when we have to take long breaks from public access. A couple halfhearted sniffing mistakes that were easily redirected and that was it. Her heeling is marvelous imo. She was noticeably slower on her position changes but I know it’s because I swapped out her old shoes for new ones that still need to be broken in. I like the Ruffwear Grip Trex for quick outings but they can be tough to break-in especially in the cold.

She was being super good at ignoring people which I like to reward with occasional breaks to say hi to polite strangers. She prefers kids & elderly people so when I noticed a blind preteen with her grandmother who were talking kindly about us I offered to let her say hi. The child was especially excited to meet Mandana because she is working on getting her own service dog. I described Mandana & her gear and let her feel her ears, head, harness, badge and shoes. I answered questions about training & tasks. She wanted to know what tasks Mandana knows that could help a blind person so I told her about how she’s trained to locate specific objects by name and bring them to me. She was excited to show me her Disney stickers so I gave her one of Mandana’s custom stickers and showed her how she could feel the ears and tail that are cut out. Mandana really enjoyed the attention and we all had a fun conversation.

I am tired, lethargic, in pain, tearful. I want to take a nap, but I can't. Now I'm frustrated that I can't sleep. I would like to continue my research into owner training an Assistance Dog in the Netherlands, but I know that it's not helpful at the moment. It's Sunday, so I can't ask my social workers for help. And I just don't know what to do with myself for a moment.

Little preview of the next chapter of owner training!

YES YES I NEED THIS SIGN IN EVERY SINGLE PARK PLEASE

This is my daily struggle, I had so many arguments with people with off-leash dogs (in a mandatory leash area!!!). Thanks to this behavior I'm struggling with Kim being anxious/aggressive with other females as she often gets involved in unpleased interactions with free females while on leash. And every single time that I ask for the dog to be at least recalled, I'm being called names and insulted of course.

Also 9 out of 10 their dog isn't really that friendly at all.

pup!reader w/ an oral fixation - soap mactavish

cw: pup!reader, pup play, collars, ownership, slight power dynamic, praise, oral fixation, hybrids.

you're such an obedient dog; following all orders so well and pleasuring your owner eagerly. you're his perfect dog, gazing down at you with lustful eyes, drooling all over yourself because you want something stuffed deep down your throat, desperate for something thick stuffed into your slick mouth, to have your soft lips wrapped around something.

perhaps it's an oral fixation – i mean, you're constantly chewing at your dog toys and his gloved hand, it wouldn't surprise johnny if you had an oral fixation. in fact, johnny takes advantage of it, instead. he'll push his fingers down your puppy mouth, watching you drool and suck at his thick, gloved fingers, panting and heaving while he pumps them down your throat, preparing you to take something longer and thicker than his fingers.

johnny keeps a firm grip on your collar, holding it tightly while he eases his fat, hard cock down your tight throat. naive, you didn't think about how your throat would be aching, strained and painful. poor puppy, just keep sucking owner johnny's cock gently and don't think about a thing, drooling all around him while he plays with your doggy ears, your eyes obediently and eagerly looking up into his, excited and ready to take him even deeper. :(

Unless: You want the action to repeat itself because it's super cute and there is nothing inherently wrong with rewarding contact-seeking behaviour, and shockingly it is actually possible to both teach and learn more nuanced ways to communicate with your dog than simply "no" and "when i say so"

i feel like the only true issue with “children in public” isn’t that they’re loud or annoying or whatever. That’s fine, children can play and be silly and frankly who cares. The only real issue is parents who just? Don’t want to parent. If a child does something dangerous or inappropriate (actively breaking stuff or actively bothering someone in ways that cross a line) and so fuck all. Yeah let children be children but you should pull them aside and explain “hey, this is dangerous” or “I know you want to do Thing but it’s not polite, you should ask permission, if you want to play with someone it should be a game they also want to do.”

The most basic (age appropriate) instructions on how to function in a society, you know? “You should ask if you can pet a dog before rushing at it” or stuff. Or “yes you can run around but be careful not to knock into people”

genuinely any time a child is over the top annoying I feel like the parent should do something instead of ignoring them. It’s not the kid’s fault their parent doesn’t want to parent

See @behaviornerdwithahat reblog for correction on terms used in this post

We’ve just started dabbling in “errorless” training. I’m not a certified trainer but here’s my basic understanding of the “errorless” method. It’s kind of like shaping but instead of only rewarding when they meet the criteria, you reward for any effort. If you only reward for doing something a certain way, then frustration can start to creep into your training session. With errorless, they always win something. The benefit is less frustration and more engagement. You become better at evaluating what your dog can do and setting them up for success. Your dog builds confidence and desire to train and offer behaviors.

I tried to edit the video so it makes sense. I would suggest reading the purple words first. If you’re interested to see how she did with her cues then go back and watch for the green words at the bottom.

Looking back at the video, we need to work on coming to “side” from different directions before adding “center”. She gets so used to doing things a certain way that it becomes muscle memory. Breaking it down further and focusing on not marking behaviors that get “participation” rewards is going to really help us be successful in our next session.

Really into the idea of owning her it’s body and making her it’s ass and tits bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger until dummy has the perfect body that it’s master wants.

[dog-collared-moved]

keep packing me bowl after bowl until i’m so high i can’t form words i’m just a dumb whimpering puppy that’s drooling and whining and waiting to hear the click that tells me to get hard

[pangur-and-grim]

aaaaaack I keep second-guessing everything. maybe I should make it a pure dog series, and do a Hachiko and Togo to go with Laika.

[angel-rem]

more people need to treat themselves like the needy pup they are. i don’t want to do something today? i just think to myself, “if you get it done you can use the vibrator tonight.” because even dumb puppies can practice discipline and rewards.

Tav found a fluffy black cat and is giving it loads of attention and calling it “her lil mans”, cat follows his new mother around, what Gortash do. Does he get jelly or nah.

I know canonically Bane’s animals are black dogs but somehow I think Gortash is more of a cat person, he might find dogs boring since he deals with people grovelling enough as is, and maybe cats remind him of a certain someone

I feel like Gortash doesn’t really get jealous. He gets mad if someone dares flirt with Tav, like he will absolutely fuck this person up (RIP if they dare touch Tav), but jealousy in the sense of not getting enough attention or not trusting them? I don’t think so.

Personally I see him really self-assured. If he’s committed, he’s committed, and he’ll expect the same from you. And he trusts you, otherwise there would be no commitment in the first place.

So a little cat? Shit he probably acts annoyed and then secretly tosses that little fucker food when no one sees. The cat walks over his notes and leaves paw prints and he saves that in a scrapbook. One night the cat comes up to him and nestles against his leg, and he stares at it for five minutes before he cautiously pets it.

Like he’s the archetypical reluctant pet owner who ends up spoiling the cat in the worst way possible.

imagine being clicker trained by Jihyo 😵‍💫

having your body groped and examined by her.

“show me those pretty teeth, pup.” her thumb glides over your bottom lip and you relax your jaw, allowing her fingers in. her thumb runs over your teeth, and when her hand leaves your mouth, you hear the click, and then she holds up a single Frutip jelly candy as a treat before you.

“you can take it,” she says, and you do, eating it from her hand.

she’s trained you to keep your eyes on her while you stay nice and quiet for her. you’re kneeling before her, looking up at her obediently, ready to follow her every command.

“good girl.” click. “take it.” she juts her hips forward slightly, and you know you’ve earned the privilege of finally, finally being able to undo her pants.

but unbuttoning and unzipping is all you’re allowed to do for now. you know better than to jump the gun and try taking her clothes off just yet.
