Yeah the shows creator is a rapist I think, so not too fussed it wasn’t finished. Good show though.

The people willing to drop 1k on a monitor stand probably deserve to be ripped off

I never really understood why people rave about apple’s ecosystem. I find that my android phone and Windows pc can do anything I need them to do, conveniently, and it’s easy to transfer data between them or over the Web. I find it very frustrating that iphones only support a small range of file types, and that they can only use Bluetooth with other iPhones.

Yeah greyhounds look weird but they’re the sweetest dumbest most loving buddies

Professional puppy training is really good, especially if you have a nervous dog, as a lot of conventional dog advice doesn’t always work perfectly for a nervous dog.

On a similar note, learn and respect your dog’s limits. Dogs, like people, come in a huge range of personalities and so there are some things that your dog just will never be comfortable doing, ranging from tolerating children to doing agility and so on.

Oh and avoid elite dog training social media. It seems tempting because they show off all their impressive dogs, but it’s full of extremely opinionated, unreasonable, judgemental people that believe their way is the only way, a select few going as far as telling people to basically put down their dogs if their method doesn’t work… It’s a toxic community, don’t subject yourself (or your pup) to that stuff.

This is a myth, no idea where it came from, but dogs will sniff you if they want to come sniff you. Body language is important and it’s important to give the dog agency in the greeting. Putting your hand out towards a dog is not good advice for most people as most people don’t understand body language, can be threatening to the dog, and it’ll probably get someone bit by a nervous dog.

In general, just ask the owner for permission and information, or keep a comfortable distance and leave the dog be. Dogs are still animals, even if they’re usually friendly.
