You are entitled to your own opinion even if it is objectively incorrect!

Hey guys I need some advice. So my dog likes to get high off weed and today he scared me real bad. I was sleeping after putting some pain relief thc/cbd on my back and i woke up to him licking my back and fingers. I called the poison control immediately and they told me to monitor him 30-45 minutes and if he got sick bring him in immediately. I watched him go through the motions of getting high but luckily nothing happened. Is there a way to train him not to like this shit? I hide all my shit in a box he cant get into and I have to keep him inside the house when I go outside to smoke because he will follow and breathe in as much as he can. I love my dog and don't want nothing to happen to him. Thanks in advance.

>>5021187
Weed is bad for you

Bet you didn't give your dog a dried pig's bladder tonight!

>>5021193
What does it taste/feel like?

>>5021195
It smells faintly of pee, and has a texture that's a mix between leather and plastic. Theyre a little thicker than paper when dry. Both dogs loved it a lot.

You use them for making cured meats or steaming/poaching food in. Kinda like a primitive sous vide bag. I've cooked a whole chicken inside a pigs bladder and it was amazing.

Hi everyone,

I'm here to share what happened to my dog Nitro (15 kg mixed breed neutered male of 6 years) and get some insight or reassurance. Maybe it helps someone going through something similar.
The issue:

Last week, Nitro started licking his penis excessively. I checked the area and noticed the urethral opening (the hole where pee comes out) was red and slightly open. There was no discharge, he was acting normal, eating, drinking, and active, but he was licking himself too much.

The vet checked his urine — no blood, no proteins, no signs of a urinary tract infection (UTI) — and diagnosed local inflammation of the penis, likely due to irritation from licking or mild external infection.
The treatment:

The vet prescribed prednisolone (a corticosteroid) for 6 days:

20 mg once daily for 3 days

10 mg once daily for the next 3 days

I was also told to use a cone to stop him from licking, which I did.
The problem:

By day 4 I was at my limit with the side effects, Nitro was:

Drinking water constantly

Peeing every hour and a half

Having accidents even with outdoor breaks

The vet checked that the inflamation had gone down so she recommended that i take the cone off to check if he continues to lick (which he does)

My current concern:

It's been 3 days since his last dose of prednisolone but:

He’s still drinking a lot

He still needs to pee every 2–3 hours

If I go 4 hours without taking him out, he pees in his male dog diaper

I’m worried these side effects are not going away

I know prednisolone can take a few days to wear off, but I can’t help fearing it's something worse.
My questions:

Is it normal for side effects like thirst and frequent urination to last this long?

How many days does it usually take for a dog to return to normal after stopping prednisolone?

grim, also, not me lol.

Ngl it seems like vets today are no different than human doctors. They're going to want to always prescribe you medication in this case it's your dog. It's honestly very grim, and then when you start to look into what people of eld did to take care of their dogs people will begin to attack you because you're "not a science truster." While they get 3 different meds to give their dog because pupperino has anxiety and a weak tummy LMAO!! While ignoring that people would have a dog live close to 20 years eating the unwanted food.

>>5021396
Anons dog would have been cured by the cone and NOTHING else. Prednisolone for a sore dick is absurd.

But dogs lifespans have more to do with kennel clubs. Old dogs reproduced as long as they lived which selected for longer lifespans. "Responsible breeding" cuts off reproduction at 10-12 which means anything that kills after 10-12 spreads, and spay and neuter removes anything not "responsibly bred" from the pool.

Wolves must now be conserved so we can remake dogs after the anglo-francoid breeding tradition fully ruins them.

WHAT SPECIES IS THIS FUCKING POOCH AND WHY DOES ITS SUPERIORITY MAKE ME SO ANGRY!!!

Whenever I see a basset hound it makes me sad because it reminds me of a sad story.

My purchase of a well bred purebred did not cause an increase in the number of dogs in shelter.
Me wanting a dog with a predictable temperament from healthy lineage did not cause another dog to not get adopted.
My meticulous research and support of only the most responsible of breeders is not the problem. It is not what you should be mad at. It is not what you should be pushing the blame onto.
I am not the one who brought these dogs into the world irresponsibly and left them in a shelter. Responsible breeders are not the ones who put dogs into shelters either.
It is my home, my life, and my choice of what kind of dog to bring into it. Maybe I needed a working dog, a sport dog, or simply a companion puppy to raise of a breed I enjoy. No matter the reason, my choice to support a reputable breeder did not send a shelter dog to its death.
A breeder who health tests, temperament tests, studies pedigrees, proves a dog worthy of being bred, and only breeds when doing so is of benefit to the breed is not contributing to the number of homeless dogs.
The number of homeless dogs in the world is a problem, but it is not a problem exacerbated by reputable breeders and those who purchase from them.
Your neighbor down the street who refuses to contain his unaltered dogs IS contributing to the problem.
Your friend who impulse bought a dog at PetLand IS contributing to the problem.
That guy on Craigslist pumping out the trendiest designer mix as fast as he can IS contributing to the problem.
Your relative who just HAS to let their dog have one litter “so she can experience motherhood” or because “she’s just so sweet” IS contributing to the problem.
Your old high school classmate who bought a high energy working breed without taking the time to research its needs and realize it was not a good fit for their household ahead of time IS contributing to the problem.

Absolutely, doctors and vets are generally just people who are good at memorizing stuff they read in books, not necessarily thinking independently. My best friend is a vet and he is probably like 115iq but was just extremely good at studying and worked really hard to get into university but any time I ask him a question about stuff related to dogs he just cites some random stuff that sounds like it came from a textbook. For example I asked him what his thoughts were on feeding dogs raw food and he just said something along the lines of 'feeding dogs a raw diet can be beneficial if the diet is balanced by a proper veterinary nutritionist but there are increased risks of e-coli and other bacteria when handling raw meat'. Which is a fine response although it only takes a couple braincells to realize that humans who actually cook for themselves are handling raw meat basically every day anyway so there is only a risk of e-coli if you're a crayon eater who doesn't know soap exists.

...No. Not at all.

Then again autists like you have said "pitbulls are literally not aggressive!" because it's behaviorism technicalities (ie: a dog that barks has aggression, a pitbull that ragdolls a toddler just has prey drive :))

Leo has been framed yet again. Fortunately this time it is for good!

One of the beautiful things about these platinum/palladium prints is their remarkable image stability. If I keep this print dry it will remain unchanged for literally hundreds of years even with direct sun exposure!

New leo kino just dropped.

I really like this one, but I missed focus on his eyes. It will still print pretty nicely.

Modern day classic.

The softness/glow from this one and the first actually come from a special lens I have. It isnt an effect I added in post.
It has these things that let you control the amount of glow. Very fun.

>>5022259
>>5022259
Chew toys of various textures, bully sticks/fish skins (chews that are safe for puppy teeth, basically), and teaching an “off” command are good. But for my last puppy nothing worked until his adult teeth came in and the chewing urge was substantially less.

I've been trying to stop my reactive dog from hyperfocusing on people/dog when we're out on walks.

When we're in the backyard he does great listening and coming to me and getting rewarded with treats. But doing this in the backyard doesn't do jack diddly if it all goes out the window when out and about.

When he sees a person he breaks fairly easily sometimes depending on the distant, but when he sees a dog, the dog could be 30 - 50 yards away and he goes crazy.

He won't even accept the treats he just pulls towards what he wants. I've tried stopping and standing in place for 1-2 minutes to see if he loses that drive but the moment we start to move again he pulls towards where he last saw the dog.

The person with their dog could've turned the corner and be out of sight but to no avail he won't relent.

Is there really no hope for curing his reactivity?

Also reddit spaced to make this easier to read.

What kind of dog? Is he like that when he is off leash? Do you ever take him off leash?

>>5022342
1. How old is he?
2. What breed of dog is he?
3. Has he been socialized?
4. Define "goes crazy". Is it aggressive or playful?
5. As >>5022615 asked, how does he do off leash around other people n dogs?

But for a quick generic, but perhaps cruel option.
If all else fails, a shock collar. Which depending on the size of the dog and your ability to hold him back might be a good idea.

>>5022641
Shock collars should NEVER be used for pain compliance.

French Bulldog
>Has he been socialized?
I got him from a family member so highly doubt he was properly socialized when he was a puppy so I'm trying to do so now but it's very very difficult
>Define "goes crazy". Is it aggressive or playful?
His hackles aren't raised when it happens so I assume he is trying to be playful but there are times where his playfulness turns to biting and hard at that
>how does he do off leash around other people n dogs?
He hates people that wear hats. He barks a lot when meeting someone new even if I let them inside the home and his hackles are raised during this. I pick him up and have the person pet him and generally he calms down but if he doesn't I put him away until he calms down.

I've never took him out and about off-leash because I'm a bit weary on if he would take off at this first thing he sees. I have another dog and he gets along with him until they both want attention and he turns into a huge asshole going after my other dog as well as the person giving attention to my other dog.

He's still a pup though and neuroplasticity is still good at one or something. Try socializing him.

I'm guessing reactivity? There's a resource that gets posted here often. I think Susan Garrett? She has some stuff on reactive dogs. Counter conditioning and thresholds are key (not an expert btw).

Dumb cunt. Maybe if you took the poor thing to the groomers and paid for vet care after she hurt her leg she'd like you more. That dog was so itchy and smelly due to being filthy for god knows how long... Not to mention how she never spent time with the poor pooch outside of feedings.

you have to slowly increase rhe difficulty level.
so next step from the lawn training would be to have a friend (or friend with a dog if possible) walk by him on the furthest edge of the lawn and train him. or some even easier step.
slowly build up and make him feel good.
find out what times works best for him to train. (you can also try to use this to limit stress during walks) some dogs are more reactive before or after feeing. some fare we'll to play a while before training, others loose focus and so on.

When it's bad tryto remember that your dog CAN be obedient and is so - in a setting that is on his current level. too much stimulus compared to what skills he has learned to regulate his energy/impulse control is going to be futile and not because he is disobedient.

ps. Also add general passivity training, it will do wonders.

pps obviously this depends on what "goes crazy" means.

please read up a bit on dogs before you get one buddy.

Are "low energy" dog breeds ever healthy ones? With some of the ones I know there seems to be this correlation with poor physical health and being low in energy with the likes of bassets, mastiffs or bulldogs for instance. There are of course plenty of energetic and unhealthy dog breeds but not all energetic dog breeds are unhealthy, but low energy breeds do seem to clump into unhealthy heavily. With that in mind if a dog is low energy is it less about temperment and more down to them physically being unable to be more active or are there examples of healthy low energy dogs?

Hardmode: no whippets.

Malamutes, samoyeds, and designer malamutts are pretty calm given adequate mental stimulation, but a high iq zero drive dog will take full advantage of going off leash no matter what you do so be careful

>>5023836
Beagle
>high IQ
>zero drive
Most of what people interpret as energy is drive, a kind of neurotic obsessive behavior that makes dogs take to command obedience better regardless of how smart they actually are

>>5023836
>Are "low energy" dog breeds ever healthy ones?
you can accomplish "low energy" in these ways
>deliberately select for the most tame and sedate dogs within a purebreed and breed them over many generations (nobody really does this because breed standards also encompass temperament)
>deform their body, whether it be airways, legs, back, chest, arms
>slam them down to toy size - deer head chihuahuas, toy fox terriers, chinese crested, miniature pinschers, papillons, toy manchester terrier, pomeranians, italian greyhounds, toy aussies/pomskies. they're not 'deformed' per-se, they have healthy body plans that happen to be tiny so they have less energy and expend more to move small distances + many were bred for companionship and not for vermin control

Every time it thunders, my dog tries to climb on top of my PC. She could go in another corner, she could go under the bed, but she goes for the fucking computer every single time. How do I stop this?

>>5022231
no one tell him how the entire world makes sausages

>>5023119
sometimes i wish i'd get another dog, but then i remember the devastation from when they get old, sick, and die. It's so soul-crushing.

Tried to bring my cattle dog to work (carpenter). Little fucker just barked the entire time and I had to take him home early at lunchtime. Oh well. Maybe when he is older. He just wants to play whenever we're outside and hasn't learn to lay down and relax yet.

>>5023836
Maybe low energy dogs are usually owned by people who don't really want to put much effort into having a dog and thus they become unhealthy.

>>5023890
You have to teach him that.

>>5023899

>>5023899
You have a mental disorder if looking at this level of deformity isn't unpleasant for you

>should I eat the chickens or herd them?
such is the life of a Husky/Pyrenees mix

>>5023904
Lol I'm trying to teach him how to chill but it's not easy. I was digging for a footing and he was trying to attack my shovel lol

Guys, I was just emulating annie leibovitz with this one! The clipped ear is a part of the aesthetic.


>>5023999
Those are some very very cute paws. :D

>>5024011
Lol mine does that with vacuum. When you're at home keep some treats in your pocket and when dog is doing a good job relaxing give treats and say "good relax" or whatever word you want to use. Be consistent with it over long enough of a time and he'll get the idea. Also when you're out on a walk and you make it to the park or whatever take the first 5 or so minutes to practice doing nothing but chilling out. Patience and consistency. He may not reliably do nothing on command until he's like 2 years old.

>>5024015
Oh yeah I saw this one in p, great stuff. Peak kino.

>cute paws
Hes very delicate and likes to prance around. I think they call it an aussie trot. Genetics or something.

>>5024018
Cool! I like it when dogs have cute walks, or when they sit cross legged.
Have you seen those goats that do the funny dance/walk thing? They were bred to have loose joints or something so they walk like that.

Yeah I like to use /dog/ for more casual/fun pics of dog and then better ones go on both! After some slight refinement I will be using some 8x10 slide film to take a similar shot. Around 30-35 dollars per shot after paying for development, so I have to muster up the courage for it lol. It will be so worth it.

I got my first dog earlier this year and one thing I'm confused about is why I literally never see any dog walkers carry bags of dog shit around on their walks?
On the morning walk I usually have to carry 1-2 and in the evening 1

>>5024023
they probably have them in their pockets/attached to the leash?

>>5023999
checked. very nice dog.

>>5024015
Thanks, i'm practicing the 'relax' right now. He's chilling out and i'm just giving him a treat every 5 mins or so. Good advice, thanks.

>>5024023
i either use a garbage can a lazy fuck left out or stuff it in the tailpipe of a motorcycle or car i know has a loud exhaust

for certain motorycles i know to be public menaces i open the bag and smear it on the underside of the handlebars

>>5020688 (OP)
Doing some reading and thought I'd ask here as well:

What is a very healthy, small breed? As in, what is the smallest you can go without running into mutants that questionably shouldn't have been born?

I love having a dog around to alert me to stuff, but I'm getting too damn old to deal with big dog stuff.

Thanks.

>>5024124
define "small" - are we talking about 25 pounds, or around 10

>>5024120
What did puerto rico do?

>>5024126
Smaller is better, but not so small as to run into health issues from weird breeding shit. No pop eye, exploding knees, or collapsing tracheas or stuff like that.

>>5024124
The thing you want to avoid with small breeds more than anything is small dog syndrome. There's nothing worse than a temperamental yappy little fucker.
If I had to have a small breed I'd get a Jack Russell.

>>5024133
Wow very cool and well groomed. It seems fun to have a goofy shaped dog like a poodle.

>>5024129

>filtered by late night posting

Goodnight?

I am thinking about getting a dog.

I'm living alone in a house with a bit of yard/backyard in nipland.
I am away from home around 10 hours each day for work.
I may need to leave entirely for a week or two up to twice a tear due to work.
I have tatamis rooms so a large dog would probably have to stay outside of 3/4 of the house? no experience with this

I've had four big dogs in the past, but I had a huge yard, and it was many years ago, I also had much more time to spend with them.

Is there a breed (easily available in japan) suited to this lifestyle? Should I give up?

>>5024124
I'd say 9 to 10 pounds is probably the minimum a dog can go and have expectations to get reasonable normal small dog. There's been many chihuahuas or mutts that size that lived a strangely long life and only dealt with mild arthritis by their late years

>>5024159
By that point you'd probably need to get it a companion to play with or should get a pet that doesn't need much attention like a reptile

>>5024226
LOL. Leo had mega zoomies and jumped on the couch 10 times with extreme force and slide it over there from inline with fhe recliner. We decided to give it a shot.
I sort of like having basically nothing else in my living room area with a big open space for the dogs lol.

We don't really ever use that exit either so it's whatever.

It's fine I am bulgarian. We can jump out of window.

>>5024258
No, no, my frriend… you not understand. This is not bad design, is Bulgarian minimalist philosophy. In my village, when dog move furniture, is sign of strong ancestral energy. Couch must slide near door is tradition! We make big space so spirits can do cartwheel, da? You think is silly? Bah! You no know. In Bulgaria, if dog run too much and furniture not move, we say house is cursed by laziness.

Do you like Beagles?

>>5024316
Yeah cute dog

>>5024159
in my country this would be illegal.
sadly most of the world has psychopathic animal rights.

At least get two dogs (and make sure they are mentally compatible).
Also doggie cam with voice intercom.
Also have a friend, neighbour, cousin or whatever come by 15 mins midday to check up on their water and give them a quick walk?

>>5024316
I think they need longer snouts and longer ears. Otherwise very cute.

>>5024316
Oh yeah.

How can I instill corrections without a prong collar??

>>5024346
>"corrections"
Once upon a time this just meant telling your dog no. Now that retards can use the internet it means hurting dogs and imitating "K9" trainers who are in the business of psychologically breaking animals until they are afraid to do anything but their job.

>>5024352
I guess what I'm trying to get at is: how can I tell my dog to not aggressively bark at the small Muslim family leaving their hotel room? And not to rush a well meaning white guy at night? I know how to do it with a prong collar, but I'm clueless without it. He won't listen to me, so saying "no" won't do crap

I haven't been on /dog/ in forever (let alone 4chan), so forgive me if this comes off as a cat vs dog post

Dog keeps eating toilet paper and he now learned to open the bathroom door.
>inb4 boredom
I can't be always playing with him, but when I do we play/train for my lunch breaks then I go back to work. It's honestly very annoying he's about to start living in his crate if this continues.

>>5024355
You have to train your dog to pay attention to you instead of relying on harmful crutches. Yes, it's that simple.

>>5024355
The people here are EU NEETs/Self-employed/Retired. Who have all the time in the world to do the R+ only training. They'll tell you to keep at it until it clicks. They always conveniently ignore the three other quadrants of dog training. So unless you're someone with a bunch of free-time asking this general on how to train your dog is counter-productive. r/opendogtraining is better for advice but it's slowly being plagued with R+ only karens/kens.
>>5024352
k9 dog trainers are based you're just mad because you want to fuck dogs.

>>5024362
>The other four quadrants!
The inventor of operant conditioning himself also believed the other two, especially negative reinforcement and positive punishment, should never be used, with negative reinforcement in particular being a torture method and positive punishment causing unwanted associations.

>>5024356
is he ingesting it or does he like tearing it apart
giving him stuff to dissect in a more structured way should do the trick (if it's the latter)

>>5024362
>k9 dog trainers are based you're just mad because you want to fuck dogs.
average dog beater dicklet projecting his strange sexual deviance

it is weirdly common for repressed sexual deviants to direct hate and violence towards the objects of their desire...

>>5024365
I'm sorry for name calling you, my meds didn't kick in for my mood. But now they're doing the trick, again I apologize. Her have a dog.
>>5024363
is there proof for this?

>>5024362
who actually does R+ ONLY training? you need punishment to reduce the frequency of a behavior, and that is why negative punishment is employed

>>5024367
https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/social-sciences-and-humanities/operant-conditioning
>Skinner’s assertion that positive reinforcement is more effective than punishment at changing and establishing desirable behavior led to the discrediting of punitive punishment in schools and the common application of timeouts (negative reinforcement) and a token economy (i.e., rewarding good behavior with gold stars that can be accumulated for prizes) instead.
The man himself has always been in favor of positive reinforcement.

Positive punishment is an emergency option. It's not meant to be routine.
Negative punishment works fine but can harm trust if overused.

Applying the other two quadrants to people just causes an increase in violent crime. In animals it causes fear and anxiety. Behaviorism also isn't 100% reliable. Animals have minds like us and can make irrational decisions based on criteria and facts that only exist in their head.

>>5024377
Still, don't be afraid to use harsh methods in an emergency. If your dog grabbed a chicken, and the chicken might still live, yeah sure smack 'em and throw them in the bathroom while you set everything back in order.

BASED! BASED!

>>5024364
He is ingesting it. So I'm worried he'll clog himself. I might just have to put the TP away in a drawer, but I would like to not have to always do this. I was thinking maybe taking him into the bathroom and just watching him and if he ignores the TP giving a treat.

>>5024382
You can take it away from him, tell him no, and then give him something he's allowed to chew on which you then praise him for engaging with if he'll grab the TP with you around. I agree with all the previous points about not being harsh with your dog, but making them aware that they're not allowed to do something by using your mean voice isn't abuse.

if you want a cheap craigslist dog, get a crossbred (pomsky, germsky, etc) instead, less chance of carrier-borne illness but it's a crapshoot still

>>5024401
I know better. I knew better when I got the pit mix dud I currently have, but I really know better now.

>>5024405
Shit. I was thinking husky because I know cheap GSDs are genetic horrors and those are the only two common options that I like. Guess cheap things are cheap for a reason.

Thabks ai!

>>5024416
>thabks
Retard alert.

>>5024400
She's probably been abused and needs 2+ years of very understanding, patient training. Huskies do not tolerate abuse and do not tolerate quick and harsh methods at all.

>>5024405
That would come from GSD mixing.

BYB GSD carrying diseases + Healthy husky = Shepsky carrying diseases

>>5024413
Most huskies are healthy as fuck

The problems come from them escaping+getting hit by cars, and being totally unsocialized/untrained. Which matters more with huskies because primitive breeds speak a different language than other dogs.

>>5024426
>That would come from GSD mixing.
for most diseases, they'd both have to be carriers
what can happen is you get a 'germsky' with a roach back that also is dog aggressive like a GSD

Rottweiler anyone?

>>5024324
>>5024191
I guess it's a bad idea, then. I'll stick to plants I suppose.

>>5024475
Cute dog.

>>5024346
>>5024355
Regular collar with redirections. Pull him away from reacting (firmly but not forcefully, as in don't rip the leash suddenly) and reward him for giving you his attention, then give him a task to distract him, sitting at heel works well for this.

>>5024475
Looks unhealthy. I am a sucker for Rotties though.

Reminds me of the time my dog almost ate a sock then threw up. I guess it was the smell.
