I'm looking for a way to help my Aussie get rid of her excess energy, and I started thinking about how horse owners lunge their horses. Could that be used with a dog, and if so, how would I go about training that?
I tried it once on her long line, but I was winging it, and she kept running straight back to me lol.
I'm getting back into dance after 4 years of not dancing. I didn't quit by choice- my family moved to an area where there weren't any studios- so I've kept up with the basics as much as possible, but I am definitely not at the level one would expect for my age group.
With that being said, would it be possible for me to compete on a team this year if I put the work in? I don't want to hurt myself or anything, but I'm about to be a junior in high school, so I don't have much more time. Also, would it be selfish to join a team (assuming they even accept me) and bring them down if I can't dance at their level? Has anyone else had an experience like this?
My girl (about a year old) is completely healthy, but she seems to have such little energy. I adopted her fully prepared for a highly energetic dog, but she seems to have no interest in running or longer walks. Even at the dog park, she'll play for 10-15 minutes then lay down and just watch everyone else. Don't get me wrong, if she's happy, then I'm perfectly fine with her current energy levels, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything. I've had other dogs before this, but she's my first working/athletic breed so I'm trying to be sure she's fulfilled. Maybe the things I've read about aussies are overstating their levels of energy, I don't know. Thanks in advance!
I'm taking a German class through my school, and the newest vocabulary list includes "Hier [last name]?" as a telephone greeting. It gives no indication of how to use it, and the class is completely online with no teacher to ask about it. After some research, I've found that it can be used to state who you are when answering the phone, but the phrase is listed with a question mark. Can this phrase also be used to ask who the other person is, or is there another meaning?
