I’ve 3D printed A LOT of similarly shaped scratchers and give them away randomly to people - they are wonderful to have. I even have some in my car and at my office lol. I slapped my name on them in the Slicer software so people remember where they got it!

Sounds like that Travis Scott dickhead musician a year or two ago.

It is about power. Victimize to dehuminize.

Such a succinct and well written comment, thanks.

Absolutely. Now & Laters, bby.

It’s all about Lemmy now. Lemmy is the future.

My read from their response was relating to your statement that “she’ll find out anyway (on social media)”, assuming you’ll be posting your reasoning after the fact – not from this Lemmy post. Just my 2c.

Just put them in your mouth.

Lol I like this one

Professional advice is the best route to go. In the meantime there is a wonderful YT channel called “No Bad Dogs” out of NYC I believe. Their approach is full-spectrum regarding positive reinforcement, positive punishment, etc. Also, one of the main ways I work with my (non-abused puppies & not a professional) with resource guarding is as follows: grab a low-value and high-value item. Give the dog the low-value item, tell them “out” after a short time (no touching/forcing), the moment they drop it say “yes” and give them the high-value item. Do this randomly, short and sweet. Best of luck.

This is the way.

Totally agree, we need to build for the long term. Engagement has power.
