Alt, hvad jeg nogensinde havde hørt om genanvendelse af hundebæsj, var altid tilfreds med sjove knuste ansigter såvel som i Ick, Eeyew, samt erklærer, at det ikke kan gøres. Jeg spekulerede på hvorfor, fordi folk betaler enorme penge for sække af ko gødning samt køber zoologisk have overskydende elefantdød ved lastbilbelastningen. Hvorfor ikke hundebæsj? Så sendte min tante Karen, som er en ekstremt klog dame, noget, hun opdagede om emnet så godt, som det var oplysende! Nogen havde spurgt om bekymringen “Hvordan kan jeg genanvende hundehulle?” Så godt jeg opdagede en hel del virkelig gode svar! Dette er et foto, som mor tog i august 2005, i Seaport Village of Warnemunde, (øst) Tyskland på et dagstop under et krydstogt i de baltiske lande. Det viser nøjagtigt, hvordan hundebæsj bare ikke ønskes, uanset hvor du er!
Jeg begyndte at snuse info om emnet genanvendelse af hundehulle, og meget til min overraskelse opdagede jeg, at der virkelig er hjørnets poop -komposteringskasser, der er udviklet især til at håndtere de stinkende ting samt omdanne det til brugbar jord. De kaldes Doggie Doolies såvel som de er lavet til at blive nedsænket i jorden såvel som arbejde som miniature septiktanke. De handler for omkring $ 35 til $ 50 såvel som bruges med et specielt enzym, der bryder bæsj ned til en væske, der bliver absorberet i jorden. Lige her er det, det ser ud:
Så hvad er videnskaben bag denne konstatering? Det amerikanske landbrugsministerium gennemførte i partnerskab med EPA såvel som Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation virkelig en hunde -squander -forskningsundersøgelse samt offentliggjorde deres fund i december 2005 med titlen “Composting Canine Waste”. Forskningsundersøgelsen konkluderer, at der er nogle ganske voldsomme fordele så godt som jeg vil lade de besøgende identificere, hvad disse fordele er for sig selv, fordi fordelene har brug for en vis arbejdskraft såvel som bestræbelserne på at fange. Der er en række stilarter-koncepter, der er inkluderet til opbygning af dine egne doggie-doolier, såvel som mors foretrukne for enkelhed såvel som lave omkostninger er den sorte papirkurv med et snap-on låg som denne:
Den $ 15 plastik affald kan på billedet [viste sig at være] så godt enormt for os på 32 gallon, så vi tager den tilbage til en mindre, muligvis 20 gallon størrelse. Du er nødt til at grave et hul i jorden, i et solrigt såvel som tørt sted et sted risikofri tænkning over, hvad det vil blive brugt til. Skær bunden ud af dåsen såvel som derefter ca. 12 ″ fra den øverste kantbor, der er en hel del huller i siderne for at sikre, at væsken kan udvaskes under komposteringsprocessen. Indsæt dåsen i hullet, hvilket gør det muligt for håndtagene at forblive over jorden, da du senere ønsker at trække den op og flytte den til et sted mere; tilbagefyld hullet på ydersiden af dåsen med et par af snavs. Du vil have, at alle huller skal være under jordoverfladen, så ingen stinkende lugt kan flugt såvel som at ødelægge dine havepawties. Lige her er den video, som mor kunne lide bedst:
Hund Squander Composter af Low Carbon Home
Dette er et job, som vi skal prøve i vores græsplæne i år, da vi har en hel del firbenede hundehuller i vores hus, til BOL !! Vi kan også bruge deres bæsj til stor brug!
My mutt Ace has ended up being much more vocal as well as excited during agility method within the last six months. He barks wildly nonstop, as you can see in the video below. watch it on mute if you don’t want to be totally annoyed.
I haven’t addressed Ace’s “talking back” problem up until now since I don’t understand exactly how to handle the problem. In the meantime, his “attitude” has gotten worse.
What concerns me the most is not his barking, however exactly how his enjoyment escalates to aggressive habits such as nipping my hands. He has left bruises a number of times. It’s difficult to see it in the video, however he bites at my sleeves during the weave poles.
My mutt is out of control.
Agility fitness instructors I’ve dealt with tell me that Ace wishes to run as quick as he can. since the challenges sluggish him down, he gets frustrated when he has to maneuver them. The space we method agility in is likewise as well small, leaving him bit space to get as much as speed. His barking is his method of telling me “Let’s go!”
One fitness instructor (Hi Sandy!) has told me all along that I’ve been triggering these issues by actually taking as well huge of steps with my feet. like Ace, I want to go fast. After all, we are both runners.
But my big steps cause me to stop suddenly as we reach each obstacle, triggering Ace to do a jump or pop upwards. This popping movement that Ace did led to barking, which led to nipping. I don’t notice that I’m doing any type of quick stops in the video, however I’m sure I still do it on specific program layouts. Either way, Ace has developed the habit to jump at my hands as well as bark.
Ace’s crazy, constant barking began a number of months back on the teeter. This is an challenge he is still anxious on. What a huge baby! He would bark on the teeter since he didn’t want to walk across it. He utilized to try to avoid the teeter completely as well as then grunt as well as bark when I required him across it.
The barking on the teeter led to barking at the weave poles. He wished to run right by them instead of really weaving. When I slowed him down to do them correctly, he began grunting as well as soon after that he was full out barking. now he barks nonstop throughout the whole course, even when he is in a down-stay setting on the table.
He utilized to be much better at agility, as well as now he has gotten worse as well as tries to avoid obstacles. Is my dog tired or what?
The method Ace is acting in this video is quite typical, although his enjoyment commonly escalates to more than this. That’s when he fixates on my hands as well as mouths them like they are a toy.
Unwanted habits is never the dog’s fault.
I joined an agility class for something my dog as well as I might do together – a method to boost our bond while exercising as well as difficult ourselves. one of the reasons I haven’t addressed Ace’s barking is since agility is supposed to fun. We aren’t serious competitors, so I’ve never worried about his habits as well much. Also, in a class setting, it’s difficult to sluggish down as well as take private time to work when others are waiting on a turn.
But now I’ve reached that point where sufficient is enough. It’s difficult to have fun with a barking dog, particularly one beginning to show dominance as well as aggression. It’s difficult not to take it personally when Ace hurts my hands. It’s difficult not to lose my solidify when he can’t manage himself sufficient to hear fundamental commands, let alone respond to them.
Of course, I don’t blame Ace for his behavior. It’s totally my fault for not addressing these problems before they ended up being habits. Ace can’t rationalize what he’s doing. He’s just being a dog, as well as he’s trying to be a great dog. All he wishes to do is comply with me around as well as make me happy.
I had my boyfriend Josh run Ace on the program last week to see if our dog would respond in a different way to him. Han gjorde ikke. Ace was most likely even more excited since Josh was available with him for the very first time. Ace even tried to go for Josh’s hands.
I’ve had more experienced fitness instructors do run-throughs with Ace on the course, as well as he is much much better with them. He does not bark or ended up being fixated on their hands. He is able to focus much better since he is less excited. One member of our class suggested Ace gets more excited around me since I’m his person, as well as he likes me so much. however I believe he does much better with the other fitness instructors since they are more assertive, as well as he sees them as authority figures.
My dog is not a vocal dog outside of agility. We method obedience in the exact same building, on the exact same floor, as well as he isEn helt anden hund derefter – stille, afslappet, lydhør! Han ser ud til at virkelig nyde både lydighed såvel som smidighed af forskellige grunde.
Lydighed handler om roligt at overholde min føring såvel som kommandoer, noget ess nyder. Agility bringer på den anden side en skør hund ud! Selvom han ser glad ud på programmet – hans hale afslutter aldrig at svæve – vedrører jeg, at hans ophidsede vaner ved smidighed ligner hans obsessive vaner omkring en tennisbold. Sandheden, som han fikserer på mine hænder såvel som får et glaseret blik, er ikke et godt tegn.
Hvad skal jeg gøre på en anden måde med denne hund?
Vi tager denne session fra smidighed, da jeg kræver at give mig en pause, men vi vil være tilbage igen til regelmæssige metoder i maj. Jeg nyder virkelig smidighed såvel som ønsker at forbedre sig. Jeg ser dog ikke, at det sker, medmindre jeg kan få mere administrere over min hund på banen.
Er der nogen, der har nogen form for tip til ess så godt som jeg?
Et valg er at svage ess ned såvel som endda metode med en snor på ham et stykke tid. Den metode, jeg har mere administreret såvel som, kan sætte ham i stillinger i opholdet, når hans glæde eskalerer.
Jeg ser ligeledes det ess så godt som jeg kræver at arbejde på afstand. Hvis han kan opdage at lytte såvel som tjekket mine signaler meget bedre på afstand, vil han være i stand til at køre programmet uden mig lige ved ham hele tiden. Denne metode vil han ikke være i stand til at fikse på mine hænder så let. Han bliver ligeledes nødt til at tro lidt mere snarere end bare at overholde mig hele tiden. Afstandsarbejde er noget, vi kan metode generelt i hus såvel som inden for andre områder end på agility -udstyr.
Endelig kræver jeg at være mere selvsikker med min hund med både min stemme såvel som kropsholdning. Jeg er lige så godt afslappet med ham. Min stemme er ikke fast så godt som enten er mine håndsignaler. Jo mere passiv jeg er, jo mere magtfuld bliver han. Jeg behøver ikke at råbe, men jeg skal være den autoritative figur, som jeg er.
En dejlig, lang cykeltur med ACE, før vi går til metoden, bør ligeledes hjælpe. ?
Hvis du cykler med din hund, tænker du muligvis på en hundecykel -snor.
Har nogen anden en hund, der er skør over smidighed? Præcis hvad med vanvittigt generelt?
