Border collies, not border fences. Reinforcement drives behavior, not just in dogs.
Curious about how extremism and harmful ideologies can show up in the dog world? I was too. So @makingheadsortails.bsky.social and I wrote about it.

Even through a rough month (personally, politically, and all the above), these dogs bring me joy. I hope one second of training from each day this month brings you joy too.

@pamfulkerson.bsky.social time to do another research deep dive 13 GAITS???
The fastest land mammal in North America, but did you know they have 13 gaits ? And check out that fluffed up rump patch, they do that when they're spooked to alert other members of the herd
If that was a horse the gait would be called cross-firing = very bad, but a Pronghorn can do this no problem
