(this is because I'm stealing the 15 questions from you without being tagged! 😅😅)
Boop!
That's okay, I did say I'm tagging everyone who sees it :D so all mutuals,followers&other people who end up on my blog, you came upon the tag meme honestly 😂
Though if you still want to pay for the crime I would definitely take payment in more cat pictures :D
Thinking about human behaviour compared to animal behaviour again.
It's funny to hear people (the older gens) complaining that "kids these days are lazy, they don't wanna work, etc." What do we get for busting our asses? There is no reward. Many will never own homes. Many are unemployed, trying to find work, and nobody will hire them because they don't have a million years experience and a masters degree OR they want people to work for minimum wage??? People are giving up because there is no reward. Why would we do all this for nothing?
Same as a dog that won't recall when you haven't reinforced it with a reward. Your dog isn't going to do what you tell it to if there is no incentive. No, your dog SHOULDN'T listen just because you're boss and it should respect you. That isn't how it works. They don't think that way. And honestly neither do people.
When we went hiking Sprocket wasn't always taking treats gently from me when I recalled her or she checked in and I rewarded and my one friend told me to stop giving her treats. I told him I won't work for free so why should she. And he said "I do things for free all the time because I want to do them," and I didn't say it then, but I wish I had, but if you like doing it, that's the incentive. It's a self-rewarding behaviour. Just like anything else a dog does, like chasing a squirrel or sniffing things or getting into the trash. Heeling instead of going off to sniff stuff or recalling off of something they want to chase is something you have to reinforce. You have to give them something better so they make the choice you want them to make. They won't make it just because they *respect* you. They won't willingly recall off of exciting prey out of RESPECT. You need to give them a tangible reward for that. You cannot possibly expect your dog to listen just because and then punish them for disobeying you.
Yeah, Sprocket bit my fingers a couple times. The one time pretty hard. But she was excited. She knows how to take gently and I reminded her and she tried very hard to be gentle most of the time. I wasn't going to stop rewarding her for checking in with me and recalling while we were off leash hiking in the woods. I want her to know that coming back to me is good and in the event of an emergency I would like her to not blow me off.
The Background Six aren't gonna be finished for a bit (character designs take time, especially when you're writing a final paper), so I'm gonna post the current "final" draft of Lyra now.
Lyra is Ponyville's resident eccentric artist. Although young, she's got plenty of ambition that'll take her far one day... hopefully. She's still working on her sci-fi book manuscript about an aliens with weird, fleshy meat hooks. As her side gig, she helps put together productions at Ponyville's local theater. She also enjoys singing jazz, dancing, and painting.
She's a Romaniote Jew, her family originally from Athens, Greece and immigrating to New York City in the late 1800s.
With no warning, the weird teenager runs up to you at the training grounds while holding up her baggy polecat so it can boop you on the nose with its paw. What do you do?
