Had to leave him with my grandpa when I moved out, but as soon as I get him back I'm going to teach him more.

>>1968795 I trained my mum's dog to get super excited about certain things by replacing the "walk" in "want a walk" with inappropriate alternatives.
eg. "Hey, Monty... You want some child porn?!"
"You wanna murder a prostitute?!"

My puppy learned not to bite too hard when playing. My uncle has an adult dog that warmed up to my puppy and they've spent a week playing together a lot. My puppy bites way less harder than just last week. Also she whines/bark at the door when she needs to get out now. Good job girl.

>>1983606 prey instinct is one of the strongest instinct in all of the carnivores, including domestic ones as well. Dog training uses the prey instinct of dogs excessively. Implying that doesn't have to do anything with "character" and "temperament" is retarded. People like this feed their dog/cat a vegan diet

Also he was flailing his hand wildly and tried to quickly touch the dog's head from outside of the dog's vision. He's a retard who got what he deserved.

Will skunks ever adapt to the existence of roads and cars?

>>1983071 There are several physical and practical limits to the amount of computation or data storage that can be performed with a given amount of mass, volume, or energy, due to the fact that we are all living in an ancestor-simulation.

I know we have skunks around here but I literally never see them. I smell them, but have never actually come across one. Not even roadkill. We mostly get roadkill armadillos around here. They make up the vast majority of roadkill here. I think possums would be second.

>>1984042 >armadillos >possums Two more classic adaptations made obsolete by cars. It's tragic, really.
Raccoons deserve to be in this list too, but they don't have an obvious gimmick and are just pretty smart and versatile, except they can't deal with cars.

today I saw a little baby goat and it had flat metal caps where its horns should be for what purpose would you do this to baby goats?

>>1983788 Also, forgot to add, some farmers debud and dehorn goats and cattle depending on the fencing they have so they dont become lodged and choke or break their necks.

>>1983775 As Merchant has pointed out, it's debudding. It's actually a good idea, as I've seen goats misuse their horns in captivity way too many times. It's painful, yes, but it's for their own good.

Quoted By:
She/he was probably dehorned. If it was a dairy goat then it was done because that's part of a breeding standard. Boer goats are generally left with their horns from what I've seen but dairy goats are disbudded at a few days old. The act of dehorning is generally a metal ring burnt around the horn bud for ten seconds or so. The kid will scream and struggle a bit and it does hurt, but only temporarily. They tend to be fine after a day unless you did it wrong and have to burn them again. I personally do not advocate the dehorning of goats unless absolutely necessary but if you want to be able to sell them to breeders and anyone who isn't a complete novice then you generally just have to get over it and dehorn them.

What's the best method to control violent animals?

Hey guys. I need some dog psychology. We have two toy poodle pups with about a month difference in age - they're about 6 months old now. Pretty early on (at about 3 months old), the younger puppy was injured during play with the other dog. She needed pain medication for a few weeks while her muscle injury healed. Before the injury she was outgoing, energetic and playful, but since then she's become extremely nervous and inhibited. She's gone backwards in her toilet training, doesn't engage in play, doesn't always eat her food, and is extremely afraid of most things (e.g., a loud birdcall outside sends her sprinting back into the house, runs away from other unfamiliar dogs etc). I can completely understand why she's become so nervous - it makes sense for a traumatic early-life injury. I am just wondering if anyone has any advice on how I can build her confidence again. I've tried rewarding her for times she even chews on or paws at a toy, tried mild exposure (e.g., sitting with her and calming her while there are loud noises or other dogs nearby), and tried changing her food a few times to see if that will encourage her to eat. Any help is appreciated! pic related, it's her.

Yell at her until she does what you want. Get really loud with the yells, venture into screaming and hit walls if necessary to punctuate.

This, basically:
>>1984036 Also OP, it is worth noting that some dogs go through a "fear period" around that age, where they seem to become scared and nervous about things they were fine about previously. They may become uncharacteristically disinterested/disobedient, etc. They just have to grow out of it. Give her time, patience, and consistency, and she will get her confidence back.
