    Pretty sure it's related to "blue waffles".

    The number of people who own animals and fail to train them or care for them properly is astounding to me. I was raised amongst a menagerie, my mom was always rescuing all kinds of critters, but training and proper care was critical. Then I had a few years training horses and experiencing the idiots who imagine horses are like dirt bikes and don’t require consistent training to have a safe experience. I cannot own an animal and not have it well trained and always understanding that I’m the leader. I know I have a strict view of it, but it still irritates me.

    googled blue waffles and the results came back for both a weird science experiment by Kellogs and also genital herpes that can turn the vagina blue.

    apparently I do not get the joke

    My dogs know a handful of commands and listen to us really well. I wouldn't say they are ''trained'' like a service animal or something but they are good natured and obedient. If there is a problem with their behavior we get on top of it and work with them until they can show consistent acceptable behavior.

    On the other side of the spectrum my sister takes pictures of her dog being ''naughty'' because she thinks it is cute. Attacking sprinklers on their walk, standing on the coffee table. I chased down her last dog, opened its mouth, and scooped a hotdog out of its throat that it stole from my niece. My sister does not seem to understand that ''training '' a dog is not a classroom experience for the animal but a constant relationship where they learn what you expect of them and face corrective action if they do not do as expected.

    But she read books about being a pack leader so she knows everything. K.

    I think Caesar Milan has done an astonishing amount of damage to dog owners and their relationships with their dogs.

    Not only are the "pack leader" concepts misinformed and outdated, but it gives a lot of people this idea that the reason their dog doesn't obey them is because the dog doesn't respect them. So they focus on these silly respect concepts instead of the important part - namely, that the dog doesn't know what you are asking, or it isn't ingrained enough to override the distractions outside of your living room.

    No, Karen, your dog isn't ignoring your "leave it" command because you haven't alpha rolled him enough or whatever. He just doesn't fucking know what "leave it" means because you didn't teach him. You may as well be screaming "blue waffles" over and over at him. And the fact that he did it once two years ago and hasn't gotten rewarded for it since is the same thing as not teaching him.

    Oh yeah, consistency is key to keeping training fresh. You can’t teach it for the first 6 months and then space it for 2 years and be surprised at getting mixed results.

    You have to be consistent! What’s the behavior you’re trying to modify?

    Not all dogs are created equal. My amstaff was super obedient by nature. Same with Golden’s plus they are super eager to please. Some breeds just have minds’ of their own that it’s a constant life of the dog training.

    That is true, but being a responsible dog owner includes getting a dog you can handle. The number of inexperienced dog owners who get a German Shepherd or Husky are maddening. Or, people who are insistent upon getting a purebred whatever without acknowledging that that purebred dog is bred to do a certain task. Working line dogs and dogs bred to have endless energy need a job to do or at least lengthy, daily guided recreational activities.

    And haven’t you been here long enough not to google something called blue waffle?

    By the way, I think that’s a lemon party fungus. Why don’t you google it.

    I was thinking "chicken of the woods" but not sure. And not sure if it grows in your part of the country.

    Really or sarcasm? Yours is always chill in pictures so either the mix (she's a mix right?) diluted the crazy or you're doing a good job keeping her exercised.

    We got so lucky with our first dog. He was like dog on training wheels. Perfect for our small condo. We mostly had to socialize him, teach him how to walk nicely on a leash, and how to ignore other animals (mild aggression). Very calm and low energy otherwise, just wants to be with you. Usually pretends to sleep while watching you with one eye. Second dog was more challenging but she is smart as hell and wants to please you so badly - amstaff mix like @Kubla Kahn . Keeping her exercised was the main thing for her first couple years but she has evened out a lot outside of her puppy years.

    No sarcasm. Minimum of 7km in walks a day. Yes she is a mix, but she is all husky in shedding and attitude.
