Hi,

I have a client that wants the crew quarters on A yacht redone with 24x24 vinyl tiles in off white. It will need to be glued down since it is on a boat. I have used wood pattern planks of Lvf that clicked together in the past.

I found tarkett iq optima tiles that require glue and am thinking only going with that, but is there a better option that clicks together? Want a premium solution that will look good and is easy to work with.

My 3.5 year old 35% German Shepard, 14% boxer, 9% husky plus mostly other shepards started becoming dog reactive around 2.5 years old. We were daily dog park, dog friendly bars and restaurant visitors. She was a super friendly puppy that wanted to play with everyone. She showed some resource guarding tendencies towards other dogs and sticks and food but not toward people. I would redirect and that worked. She always jumped on people and dogs when she first met them and would sometimes hump dogs. I tried to redirect her with jumping up but have so far failed in that. She is still very friendly towards people.

I tried my best to supervise when she was younger but when there are 5-9 dogs running around it can be difficult. Twice at the dog park I found puncture wounds after we got home that she didn't even react to while at the park. I took a couple weeks off after each incident so she could forget and started to be a lot more selective when strange dogs showed up. Despite that she then got into a fight with a strange dog a few months later. It happened so fast that I wasn't sure who started it but suspected the other dog since it has never happened before.

After that my girl started to try to dominate unknown dogs especially if they were very submissive. I redirected her as best I could and that seemed to work. However, it finally escalated when she growled at another dog which quickly escalated into a brief fight that I quickly broke up. She kept acting dominant to unfamiliar dogs and I reluctantly stopped most socializing activities where a strange dog could appear. It sucks as it was a huge part of both of our lives and I now blame myself for failing her at the dog park.

She was still good on walks and while she was interested in other dogs she was well behaved. I didn't approach or let other dogs interact with her often unless her body language was good. Mostly I didn't let her interact since I don't want to be that guy with an unpredictable dog that says they are friendly. We did find and return 2 lost dogs to their owners while on walks so she isn't completely anti social. She can still play with other dogs that she knows. Recently, she has started a new behavior of barking on sight when she spots the two biggest dogs we see on walks (pit bull and Rottweiler).

I have accepted that we can't go to the park or other activities, but would like to stop this reactivity from escalating further. I immediately say no and make her sit and lay down and try to redirect when she gets like this but need some additional instruction on what I should do.

I found some information suggesting that this is possible but need some instructions so I don't accidentally get banned. I just want to import my stats after I am done playing and have no interest in running a hud. Any help is appreciated.
