How do you decide when to take an in person class vs online vs just work on skills yourself?

Just curious what other people are doing/thinkjng. I LOVE a class but scheduling is hard and I wonder if I’m putting too much stock in always being signed up for something. On the other hand I’m very green and really like to have more experienced eyes on me/my dogs.

How do you decide when to be in a class vs working on your own? Does this change with subsequent dogs? Sports you’re already competing in vs new? Thing you’re doing just for fun vs hoping to be very competitive in?

Casual walk position for two dogs?

Sorry this isn’t really a sports question but y’all are always so helpful.

When you walk two dogs, do you walk them side by side on the left or one on your left one on your right?

I’ve currently got both on the left largely because each one individually learned to walk left. This is working fine but it’s a little cumbersome to treat, I have less control of outside dog (this isn’t a huge issue, outside dog is under good verbal control), and obviously they interfere with each other somewhat.

Should I consider switching one to my right side? Bonus question: how do you decide who goes on what side?

Probably not relevant information: dog 1 is trialing in rally, hoping to start obedience, dog 2 is active in breed ring.

Y’all liked my brother dog content so here’s some more

Two is pretty fun 😬. If we like having two adolescent boys we probably are doomed to two dogs, right?

Very emollient sunscreen without niacinamide or centella

Looking for a unicorn here.

I am looking for a very creamy, nourishing, emollient sunscreen. Not something you’d describe as lightweight. I feel like many sunscreens are hydrating but I really want that fully slugged consistency and I want it to last.

Current favorite is cosrx aloe. Would be perfect if it didn’t pill so badly over the course of the day. I use skin aqua gold and regular essence which are fine but not quite as nourishing as I’d like.

Being sensitive to centella and niacinamide knocks out almost everything. Any ideas?

What do you do while you wait for maturity?

This dirtbag is the embodiment of “c’s get degrees.” We titled in novice rally but he forgets that I exist between every sign (I guess to his credit he does do the signs when he notices me), it seems to be getting worse and not better, and I think his brain cell just needs a second to settle down.

The problem is that I also have a flighty brain cell and need some structure for motivation. What are you doing with your adolescent dogs who are not finding meaningful success in the ring? We’re obviously interested in rally, probably also obedience. Doing a dock diving class right now but not really intending to compete. Interested in building foundational skills, keeping the dog engaged, and keeping myself on track as a new handler.

Where do you say you’re from?

Say you live in an inner ring suburb, but you’re in Edwardsville, Sullivan etc., and someone asks where you live. You have no idea where they live.

“The city” seems wildly presumptuous, it’s not NYC and you don’t actually live in the city-city anyways.

Saint Louis seems like “right duh we all live in St. Louis you just named the metro area.”

Your specific suburb is met with blank stares because they actually live in Washington.

What are we doing here?! (Clearly I am a transplant and do not know how to talk)

Looking for a thicker/rustic percale, must also have envelope closure pillow cases

I am not looking for a smooth/cool percale. I am looking for a substantial, vintage-style sheet. I have Redland Cotton and I'm mostly happy with them, but wondering what else I should try. Envelope pillowcases are a must (this is the main reason I'm looking to branch out from RLC). My other sheets are vintage springmaid, would love something exactly like them (but getting vintage sheets in a king size is a big lift and again, no envelope cases).

Some sheets I've come across that I'm wondering if anyone has experience with include authenticity50, good sheet, cornucopia living, and wool room Arinta.

Needs to ship to USA. Not particularly interested in high-end sets, let's say arbitrary budget of $300 for a king set (but if there's something just over that I must try, by all means recommend it).

Thanks!

Did your pups get more or less guardy after adolescence?

Our very good 1yo boy is doing his aussie duty alerting us to comings and goings at the house. This is not a surprise, I fully understand this is a breed specific behavior, his breeder has been very helpful with giving us suggestions to guide his alerts and have reasonable expectations. We know it’s a big ask for an aussie to allow unannounced neighborhood children to wander in and out.

But I’m wondering from experience, have you found that this ramps up or calms down as the dog matures? It definitely came on recently so I’m wondering if everything is just intense right now or if he’s maturing into his adult personality.

Optimal schedule of runs

I know the answer is “whatever works for you,” but I’m curious how you decide which trials to sign up for during a multi day show when there are 4-5 trials offered.

For example (we are novice rally)

Friday trial 1
Friday trial 2
Saturday trial 1
Saturday trial 2
Sunday trial 1

Which would you sign up for? Show is local, no shortage of opportunities to show, no rush to collect title(s). Mostly just curious what you prefer in terms of human and dog attention span, maximizing focus, fitting in with other commitments, etc.
