Hello, i wanted to ask you for a part 2 about the female predator from earth.

I wanted to know if you could write about the courting process with which male ? The gifts, show of power, that they are capable of producing and protect pups ... And one day reader has her first heat because before she didn't have potential mate. She's all sweet, affectionate and vulnerable, and that is total opposite of the typical female in heat who is dominant and fight her partner. How ours sexy hunters react and do ???

And expect me to soon ask a part 3 with a pregnant female 😁.

Bye, thanks for reading this.

Assuming the courting happens simultaneously I have a feeling it’d end in a bloodbath, so the harem shall be at distanced intervals for the time being.

Various Predators x Predator! Reader Headcanons: Courting

Featuring the previous Predators (Feral, Elite, Bad Blood and Berserker) but with a more detailed description of their courting process. Time to pick your baby daddy. TW: Dubious consent again.

Part 1: Meeting

Part 2: Courting

Part 3: Mating

Feral Predator is the most respectful and approachable of the lot. After all, he’s the one that introduced you to your lost heritage. His communion with nature and tradition shapes his beliefs of sacred respect towards the opposite gender. You’re the bringer of Life and his purpose is to serve you. He enjoys impressing you with his agile hunting prowess. He has perfectly adapted to Earth and if you desire to remain here, he is the only one that can provide for you. But don’t rush to assume he wouldn’t do well anywhere else. His blood is that of noble survival, relying on raw, primitive instinct and intelligence. He is not bound to technology or modern aids, just pure skill. Your lineage will have its success guaranteed under his watch. Feral Predator is briefly taken aback upon seeing your sudden affection, but he’s quick to figure out why you’re acting like this. At this point he may know your body even better than you do. No worries, he will show you the ropes. He will lead everything.

Elite Predator would very much like to simply scoop you up and return you to Yautja Prime. Though spending the rest of his life with a resentful wife doesn’t sound too fun, so he’ll have to make an extra effort to convince you. What do you even need convincing for? Truly, it must be your human background that stops you from seeing the obvious facts. He hasn’t been ranked Elite for nothing. He’s a veteran of the battlefield and has proven his worth plenty of times. You cannot possibly find someone better when it comes to guarding and training the offspring. He’s ready to put an end to your stubbornness when he notices your abrupt neediness. This it not how it usually goes and he’s unsure of how to proceed, but maybe this will serve as the final proof that you must choose him as your partner. Do yourself a favor and accept the given truth. There’s no one else for you.

The fugitive Bad Blood isn’t one to care much for approvals. Or morals, for that matter. Your protests are mere foreplay to him, although a little bit of compliance every now and then wouldn’t hurt. In that case he doesn’t mind threatening you with the lives of your little human caregivers. So you can be good and agree that he’s the best choice for a partner, or he himself can help you with your reluctance. Give you a little push. Oh, don’t make that face. Your parents would’ve agreed! There’s a whole universe to explore and you’re held back by pitiful attachments to creatures that don’t even matter. Once you accept him as your mate, you won’t need anything else. That’s a promise. It’ll be you, him, and the future sucklings as proof of your bond. There’s a reason he’s managed to survive for so long all alone: he’s strong. So really, it’s better to have him on your side rather than your opponent. Especially when you’re so vulnerable.

The Berserker doesn’t need to rely on threats or persuasion. He prefers to let his raw power and aggression speak for themselves. He knows that you can tell the difference: he’s a different breed altogether, stronger and bigger. Why would you willingly settle for less, when you can have the best of the best? You wouldn’t deny your future younglings the superior genes of survival. If you become his mate, you’ve sealed your success whether on Earth or any other Planet. As much as he enjoys your feisty, stubborn side, he finds your heated clinginess an addicting stroke to his ego. Your displays of affection are borderline pathetic, but that’s fine because it’s for his eyes only. See, you have the privilege of being as vulnerable as you wish with him as your protector. So go ahead and beg for his attention. He’ll be happy to comply.

Loki’s Timeline

Just a timeline of marriages, big events & children. I’m going to say a YEAR of ageing for the Asgardians, once they’re adults, is the equivalent of 100 years; when they’re growing up, the equivalents are definitely a bit screwy. Re: the myth fusion, I take a lot of the mythos into my portrayal, but none of the Baldr stuff, and I also exclude Skadi.

General warnings for trauma, character death and sexual assault. I have a lot of tragedy in Loki’s past, but none of it is really an excuse? So, please don’t read any of this as a reason to woobify or excuse any of Loki’s monstrous behaviours.

He’s awful because he chooses to be, and the trauma of his past doesn’t excuse what he does with his free will.

BIRTH -- Discovered by Odin Borsson and taken home to Odin and Frigga. Loki’s new brother, Thor, is old enough to be curious, but not old enough to ask questions or remember their answers.

Aged 250 years (~5) -- Loki is old enough to begin his experimentation with seiðr, and often mimics the magic his father and mother perform. Brimming with natural talent, he shows a great love of magic in his day to day life, and although he is still a young child, he immediately takes a great deal of interest in his studies.

Aged 400 years (~8) -- Loki is proficient enough in his magic to transform himself into other forms for temporary periods, although they have to be close in size to his own. Thor, for the past while, has been given basic training by members of the palace guard and by his father; Loki, impatient to begin his own training, shows an aggressive interest in weaponry such as knives and poisons.

Aged 800 years (~14) -- Loki now jealously watches Thor practice with the Warriors Four every day, not permitted to join their practice himself. He takes tutelage in both magic and knife-skills from his mother, but isn’t yet ready in either of his parents’ minds to fight against any of the older youths. Loki is now able to take on a great many forms, and is able to create crude imitations of himself in magical illusion.

Despite these strengths, Loki is often mocked by Fandral & Thor particularly, as Loki grows no stubble and remains as pale as ever, looking very different to them, with their golden hair and rosy cheeks. When Sif makes the mistake of joining in on their mockery, Loki loses his temper, and spells her hair out of her head: forced to try to make the situation right, he visits the Dwarves of Svartalheim to get her a new head of golden hair, and he also retrieves the hammer Mjolnir and several other gifts for those of the Gods’ Council.

As punishment for cleverly avoiding having to pay the Dwarves, Loki’s mouth is sewn shut with a needle and thread; when Sif mocks this, he turns her hair to be as dark and unshining as his own. (The Dwaves Of Svartalheim is written in its entirety here.)

Aged 950 years (~16) -- Loki spars with Thor, Fandral, Hogun, Sif and Volstagg every day, and accompanies his brother on adventures close to home. Loki has a reputation for playing minor tricks and japes upon some of the citizens of Asgard, but is often asked by some members of the city for help with minor disputes and considerations, although not when it comes to fighting off beasts as Thor might be asked.

Loki is now old enough to attend the Council of the Gods, and on the first occasion he does so, the issue at hand is that of a Jotunn visiting Asgard. He offers to fortify Asgard from any outer attack by creating a gigantic wall, but he demands as recompense the sun, the moon, and the hand of the goddess Freya in payment. Loki, desperate to impress the other Gods, suggests that they give him only three months in which to complete his work, that the Council can avoid giving him payment at all. Gladly, the Gods agree to Loki’s plan.

Aided by the great stallion, Svadilfari, the giant smith looks like he may be about to finish his goal, and the Gods blame Loki for the fact that they will have to offer the recompense they promised: Odin tells him that if Freya is to be given to the giant smith, he will make of a wedding gift Loki’s head.

Transforming into a mare, Loki leads the stallion far away from the giant smith, running until the last days of winter have given way to spring, but so exhausted by his run, he is unable to transform back into his true form, and he cannot fight off the stallion’s lust.

Some months later, Loki gives birth to the eight-legged horse, Sleipnir, and the foal is taken away to become Odin’s steed. Odin and Heimdall are the only ones who know about about Sleipnir’s parentage, and Odin means it as a kindness to save Loki the humiliation of the situation, but Loki never forgives him. (The Coming Of The Giant Smith told in its entirety here.)

Aged 1050 years (~17) -- Loki is responsible for the kidnapping of his good friend, Idunn, and must then make moves to retrieve her. Her kidnapper, the Jotunn Thjazi, is killed by the Council of the Gods for his crimes. Inspired by the events of Idunn’s rescue, Loki begins to utilize his newfound ability: he Skywalks from place to place, and begins to visit far-distant realms from his own.

Aged 1100 years (~18) -- Loki meets the Jotunn woman Angrboda on his travels, and falls head over heels for her bright spirit and warlike capabilities. He spends day after day offering her his heart on a platter, and with every day, she grows more fond of him. They marry in the dead of winter, beneath naked trees on a blanket of hard snow, then elope to an island on the edge of forever, surrounded on every side by harsh seas, and together they have three children.

First, the great serpent, JORMUNGANDR; next, the lovely and round-cheeked HEL, and lastly, the wolf, FENRIR. Loki, far away from the City of Asgard, spends his days in the deep waters of the endless ocean, playing with his children and his wife. Loki, so full of the love he could never lay upon the back of his first son, Sleipnir, cannot believe how lucky he is to have such children.

Aged 1200 years (~19) -- A seer tells the Council of the Gods back in Asgard that the children of Loki will lead to Ragnarok: Odin is immediately worried the seer means the stallion Sleipnir, but the seer goes on to say that the leader will be the child that runs on four legs, with amber eyes. The Council of the Gods seek out the home of the newly weds on a day when Loki is far absent, hunting a great deer with which to feed his family.

Odin casts the great serpent Jormungandr into the sky, cursed to eat his own tail, to ensure that he cannot break away and bring about Ragnarok; the goddess Hel he casts into the underworld, that she might rule the realm with her icy fist and not break away to bring about Ragnarok; finally, the wolf Fenrir, still naught but a pup, he binds in chains deep beneath the halls of Asgard, unable to ever break away.

In the skirmish between Odin and these three children of Loki, the goddess Angrboda is killed, and when Loki returns to his home, a freshly butchered deer upon his shoulders, he is so distraught and full of rage that the seas around their island home are brought to a tumultuous boil, leaving no water, and a layer of salt upon the sand.

Loki is dragged back to Asgard kicking and screaming, and he levels whole forests before he exhausts himself and falls unconscious upon the ground, his skin sizzling with overpowering magic. Odin carries his son home in his arms, although clutching the body burns his own hands, and for the next few months, he and Frigga take it in turns to take care of him, as the overuse of his magic has worked him into a dangerous fever that could easily kill him.

Loki initially forgets his children and his wife, and slowly pieces together his memory as he recovers from the fever. By the time he remembers everything, his children already despise him: the serpent Jormungandr moves away from his hand, the wolf Fenrir snarls and slavers at him, and the young goddess Hel will not respond when he tries to call upon her.

Aged 1500 years (~21) -- Odin arranges a marriage for Loki, wanting for him to be able to forget Angrboda and his lost children. Loki is unwilling, but each day Sigyn brings him flowers and does her best to make him laugh, and with each day, Loki’s hardened heart softens. They marry in the warmth of springtime, in robes sewn of flower petals and ornamented in gold.

Sigyn bears Loki two twin boys: Narfi and Valí. These two children are full of Norse blood and brightness: they are each sweet and sharp in terms, and Loki adores them, puts his very heart into raising them. He doesn’t isolate himself as he did with Angrboda, but remains a warrior alongside Thor and his Warriors Four.

Narfi and Valí play alongside the many children to Volstagg, and for the first time, Loki feels like he truly belongs. He still grieves for Angrboda and his lost children, but no matter how he tries, he cannot coax his children into listening to desperate apologies. Loki teaches his children what he can of magic, and Sigyn teaches them the name and origin of every flower and tree around them.

When Narfi and Valí are around eight years old (400/500 years), Loki joins Thor and Odin on a trip to Alfheim, where an elf takes offence to a well-meaning comment of Thor’s. When the Elf attempts to poison Thor’s wine, Loki takes offence to such underhanded moves being brought into play (by someone other than him) and he humiliates the Elf publicly in the nearby square.

The Elf goes to Asgard, and curses Valí, turning him into a wolf, that he might devour Narfi. When Loki returns to Asgard, discovering that one of his sons is missing and the other has been mauled to death, the Elf sends him Valí’s pelt. Loki and Sigyn part ways.

Aged 1900 years (~25) -- Instead of angry, this time, Loki is unfeeling, and disappears for around three hundred years. Although Odin, Frigga and Thor each search for him, he is nowhere to be seen; he uses a special magic to hide himself from Heimdall’s Allsight, and when he returns, finally, he pretends he does not hear the questions asked of him.

He slips into his position as Thor’s brother, and focuses his attentions on this duties as prince. He refuses any woman that so much as looks in his direction.

Aged 2100 years (~27) -- The events of Thor.

2. **!!Get rick quick!!** / AUDJPY

Let’s be honest, we’ve all seen the title above. That header will find you in some way, shape, or form. A relative might text you out of the blue, worried about your health. Someone on facebook you haven’t seen since high school might send you a message randomly: “hey _____, long time! How’ve you been? The kids look great!”. You’ll even see a small hand written sign staked into the ground next to a highway exit that reads, “Real Estate Investor looking for students: Make 10k a week”. It’s inevitable. Somebody can make you wealthier than you’ve ever imagined and they usually want to make you visualize this-

I can’t say that’s how I got started, but the beginning sure felt familiar. The rush of entering a trade for the first time. The excitement of learning a new technique or style that I knew was foolproof. That first $1,000 dollar deposit into my trading account. It’s a lot like doing drugs. It makes you want more and more. To learn more, to get more involved, and ultimately make you money. Buckets and buckets of cold hard cash.

You’re a walking ATM baby, and banks everywhere will fear your name.

And why wouldn’t you feel like that. You end up joining some kind of trading program that’s guaranteed to teach you to do the same thing as whoever is in charge. And when they post profit pictures like the one below, it only makes your hunger grow.

Why wouldn’t you want that same quality of life? Why don’t you deserve it? If they can do it so can you. They came from nothing, and wanting it bad enough half the battle, is it not?

But... as you start (and you know you’re not going to get rich right away), your MT4 trading platform history starts to look more like this:

Negatives everywhere. That’s how it goes. I’m counting on it happening to you, because I want your money. Now the writer of this blog never tried to bring people into a pyramid scheme. That’s not what Forex is, I’ve got the scars to prove it. Forex is a dog fight. Forex is a wilderness full of faceless, nameless rabid dogs, all smarter than you, faster than you, better equipped than you, with accounts 1 million times your size. Forex is about survival. Hiding in the shadows long enough for the big dogs to eat, get bored, and walk away, you try to take just enough to be able to trade tomorrow, nothing more.

I don’t want you to fail, but I understand that a large part of my wins, come from your bad psychology. It’s just how the world works. It’s not pretty, I’m not offering someone a product that will actually help their life or improve their lifestyle to make money. No I’m sprinting past the biggest of the dangers, snatching up as much as I can, leaping over limp bodies and getting the hell out of dodge.

That’s Forex. Every time I enter a trade I do it for me. But even a hawk that annihilates a sweet bunny from the face of the earth.... does it to feed her chicks. Wolf packs hunt with a terrifying beauty to the haunting sounds of howling on a snowy night, so that their pups might not starve or freeze. I do it so that one day my kids can have the opportunities I didn’t while at the same time getting to spend the time with myself that I still don’t get to spend with my father.

In Forex, your goal is to react to the market. People will tell you the goal is to predict the market, but that’s impossible. The Foreign Exchange markets exist because 7+ billion people make an infinite number of decisions every day. How do you predict something like that? Over 5 trillion dollars enter and exit the Forex markets every single day. Just to put it into perspective, there’s only 11 billion dollars in liquidity in the US stock markets, or just .0022% of the Forex markets. If the stock market was an ant, Forex would be Planet earth. It’s where banks and multi-nationals do their (dirty) work and the best part: it’s 100% legal. And it will continue to be until everyone on earth uses US dollars.

I got into it because as luck would have it I sat behind a Jamaican kid in my finance class one day who had Tradingview.com open on his browser. I didn’t know exactly what it was, but I knew what it represented: a way out. I asked him about it and that’s pretty much it. We dropped out of that finance class a few days later because we were on a journey “to take our own finance class”. That was a big mistake but regardless, he and I are still thick as thieves. I love that kid.

Back to trading. Here’s how it goes. You get excited. You start losing. You win a trade here and there but that’s blind luck, you don’t know what you're doing. An impressionist painter can tell you exactly what he’s doing but unfortunately without at least a few years of practice, that doesn’t make you an impressionist painter. Forex can’t be taught Bob Ross style.

You have to absorb information the same way a tennis player does. You have to fail and fail and fail and take a break and fail again, until your mind and body start to work instinctively. Like the matrix you don’t see lines of code falling down the screen anymore. What to other people look like a bunch of little green and red candles with a wick on both sides that rise and fall, to you it becomes a living, breathing, hissing animal. You’re trying to steal one golden scale off of its back as it slides up and down. Just one at first, if you go for anymore you’re going to get bit.

Slowly you start to learn that when it gets to a certain point or the chart starts to look a certain way, this pissed off little animal is limited in it’s movement like a raccoon you’ve just cornered. Still, highly aggressive and unpredictable but... a little less unpredictable?

You start to win. Slowly you start to take back what was yours and while the other dogs are busy snarling at each other, boasting about their victories and licking their wounds, you’re content to work far, far away from the hype. This isn’t about grandeur anymore. This is about revenge. And another shot at reaching financial freedom. Speaking for myself the ultimate goal for these next 5 years is to achieve Digital Nomadicy. Ok I made the word ‘nomadicy’, but digital nomads do exist. All you need is an laptop and a wireless connection and you’re ready to trade from anywhere in the world.

So... Let’s see how I’m doing up to this point. As I show you, please don’t feed the animals.

Starting with an H4 (every candle represents 4 hours of price movement) view of my chart on AUDJPY (Aussie Dollar vs. the Japanese Yen), we can see that current price movement has entered a channel of about 75 pips (sorry the picture is blurry).

When a pair is “consolidating” that means that it’s not really going anywhere. It’s not going to nose dive, or shoot up any time soon (I hope). It’s just kind of moving up and down between to price points, in this case a little below 74.800 and almost right on 74.000. When price reaches one of these points I know it has to react to it in some way. I don’t try to predict if it’s going up or down, I’m just waiting for the moment when it picks a direction and I can jump in.

Now price hasn’t been this low except for two times that price fell super fast and then raced back up again. Wicks (the long sticks at the top & bottom) give us clues, but not too much information on the structure right here. What this means is that if price continues to fall, once it breaks that 74.000 line definitively, it has a good chance of tanking hard. And since price has been consistently falling since April 19th, 2019, there’s a good chance it will continue falling. When you trade in the same direction as the “trend”, you are trend trading. Easy enough right?

Now, if we draw lines across the top of the price action in the channel and the bottom, it looks like a triangular flag. Usually that means that price is going to bounce inside of these lines, until it breaks out and once it does, it usually moves definitively in that direction. Usually always, always being the key word.

Now remember we’re looking at the AUDJPY pair, which is in essence a battle between the two currencies. When one gets stronger, the other gets weaker relative to each other. There was a major Japanese news release planned today at 7:30PM eastern time that I thought would move the market a bit more than it did. If the information was better for Japan than expected, the price would go down because the base pair (what we’re trading, the Aussie dollar) would have weakened in reaction to Japanese strength. But the numbers were just as expected so nothing of excitement happened.

Where the red meets the green is where I got in. All those wicks right around where it is, tells me that the price is having trouble going down. Combine that with the fact that it’s sitting right at the bottom of the flag, and where I hope it goes is greater than the distance to where I would take my loses and walk away if it went the wrong, I entered the market. I am hoping that it plays back up to where the green ends, in which case I will walk away with money, not caring if it goes up even higher: don’t get greedy.

As of this moment.... I am losing. But the battle is not lost. Stay tuned for next weeks blog post to find out what happens next.

Dug Up at Dogster: Why I Am Against Tethering a Dog When You’re Not Around

I was visiting my home state of Pennsylvania recently, which was experiencing a bit of a warm spell for this time of year. The temperature was about to change, however, and that sparked conversations from my dog-loving friends about PA’s new law. Act 10 of 2017 places limitations on chaining or tethering a dog outside. You can’t tether a dog if the dog’s basic needs aren’t met. This includes not tethering a dog for longer than 30 minutes when the temperature drops under 32 degrees Fahrenheit or goes over 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

I grew up in PA. Having dogs chained in the backyard was common when I was a child. Our own hunting dogs were kept in pens with a run, not kept inside the house. My childhood “best-friend-next-door” Shelby and I talked about those days and how we would never even consider doing that to a dog now. Although she and her husband don’t currently have a dog now, she proudly showed me photos of her new “grandchild,” a Lab mix, who she expected to be pup sitting. Today, my mother’s coddled Yorkshire Terrier Dickens wouldn’t even know what a dog pen looks like.

Reasons Not to Tether a Dog in Most Situations

A dog tethered to a dog house. Photography by Shutterstock.

There are many reasons why I am personally against tethering a dog in most situations, except where he’s tethered to a table for a short period of time when you are at a restaurant and are right there with him. Here are my reasons:

Liability: A tethered dog, except in the situation above, is a liability. The dog has nowhere to go, so in a fight or flight situation, you are forcing him to fight. When a scary stranger approaches him — whether that’s a 5-year-old girl, adult or other animal, bad things will happen. Your dog is always the loser in that situation. If he wins the “fight, you may have to put him down and you’ve got a lawsuit. If he loses, he may lose his life or you’ve got big vet bills.

Health: When a dog is tethered outside, it’s very difficult to make sure his basic needs are met and he’s not being neglected.

He has to pee and poop in the same area over and over, which is not sanitary.

The dog is outside the house, so it’s easy to forget about him. He’s not getting exercise or checks for health issues on a daily basis. He may not even have fresh food and water daily.

He is exposed to all sorts of weather, especially dangerous extreme temperatures. Giving him a doghouse doesn’t always rectify this situation.

Tethered dogs may damage their necks from all the straining and yanking or an ill-fitting collar. Dog’s throats weren’t meant for constant yanking, or heavy chains or ropes hanging from them. As we have quoted from vets previously, dog necks are no tougher than our own. Also, the collar probably isn’t checked frequently for a proper fit. An ill-fitting collar can cause the dog’s neck to become sore and raw and get infected.

He’s exposed to ticks and fleas and mosquitoes, which carry nasty diseases.

Socialization: Many animal welfare organizations have said over and over that a dog continually tethered outside is not getting properly socialized or trained. Studies support this. Dogs will stop trusting people, and become aggressive and anxious. Dogs are pack animals and isolating them leads to negative behaviors. Chaining your dog does not create protectiveness, just aggressiveness, so having a chained dog outside for protection doesn’t work.

Tethering Dogs is Bad for Humans, Too

What I find so surprising about people who tether their dogs and then walk away is that if they don’t care about the welfare of their dogs, what about the welfare of their pocketbooks? Dogs — and humans — are all nervous about strangers, no matter how socialized we and our dogs are.

You can’t predict how your dog will react to strangers while tethered. You can’t stop strangers from coming into your yard or walking up to a dog tethered outside while you run into a store. Insurance companies certainly are clear-eyed about it. I’m sure they’ll drop you quickly after you put in the claim for your dog biting someone, whether that person was trespassing or not.

While in PA, I spoke to my sister-in-law who works for an insurance company. Her company won’t give home insurance policies to homeowners who have certain large dog breeds because they’ve had experience with those kinds of claims.

I suggested to my sister-in-law, that instead of just banning these breeds, perhaps they should consider allowing homeowner’s insurance policies to large breed dog owners who do the following:

They don’t tether their dogs under any circumstances.

They have a fenced-in yard that presents a complete barrier to anyone or anything from the outside (wooden fence without holes). The gates are padlocked so no one can enter through the backyard.

The dog passes the 10-step Canine Good Citizen test

The dog goes through a refresher-training course every couple of years.

Obviously, I think we should all do this. (I have done 1, 2 and 4. I really need to work on 3.)

Does Your State Have a Law Against Tethering Dogs?

I’m not alone in my concerns about tethering your dog outside instead of allowing him to live inside with you. (IMHO, why else get a dog?) According to the American Veterinary Medical Association’s website, there are 32 states and DC that have restrictions on tethering (since its last update). I’m sure more cases, such as the rescued sick and emaciated Boston Terrier that prompted PA’s Libre’s Law on tethering, will come to light and states will one day outlaw tethering a dog altogether.

No surprise, but there is an even an organization specifically created to get people to stop long-term tethering their dogs called Unchain Your Dog . I personally hope that with all the information we have now that people become educated and stop tethering their dogs. It’s not good for the dog and not good for the dog parents. There is no win to this situation.

Dug Up at Dogster: Why I Am Against Tethering a Dog When You’re Not Around

Reasons Not to Tether a Dog in Most Situations

Health: When a dog is tethered outside, it’s very difficult to make sure his basic needs are met and he’s not being neglected.

He has to pee and poop in the same area over and over, which is not sanitary.

The dog is outside the house, so it’s easy to forget about him. He’s not getting exercise or checks for health issues on a daily basis. He may not even have fresh food and water daily.

He is exposed to all sorts of weather, especially dangerous extreme temperatures. Giving him a doghouse doesn’t always rectify this situation.

He’s exposed to ticks and fleas and mosquitoes, which carry nasty diseases.

Tethering Dogs is Bad for Humans, Too

I suggested to my sister-in-law, that instead of just banning these breeds, perhaps they should consider allowing homeowner’s insurance policies to large breed dog owners who do the following:

They don’t tether their dogs under any circumstances.

They have a fenced-in yard that presents a complete barrier to anyone or anything from the outside (wooden fence without holes). The gates are padlocked so no one can enter through the backyard.

The dog passes the 10-step Canine Good Citizen test

The dog goes through a refresher-training course every couple of years.

Obviously, I think we should all do this. (I have done 1, 2 and 4. I really need to work on 3.)

Correct the 10 Biggest Mistakes That Even “Trainers” Make Separate the Myths From the Facts!#DogTraining

Just by correcting these ten mistakes and misconceptions, you’ll automatically improve your chances of success to a level matching the top 1% of the most effective dog trainers in the world. You may find this hard to believe, but even experienced trainers make some of these mistakes. Yes. I am referring to professionals who train dogs for a living.

If you really want to cut down on your training time and see a REAL difference in your dog’s training response, busting these myths will be your stepping stone in achieving jaw-dropping results!

Myth #1: Training Ruins a Dog’s Personality and Breaks His Spirit

Dog abuse does that–not proper training combined with dog psychology. When you catch your dog making a mistake, you need to correct it, not punish it. There is a big difference! Hint: A sign of an abusive method is when you or a trainer is yelling, hitting or hanging your poor dog by his feet in order to make him listen or submit. Certain training tools also can be “misused” in the wrong hands.

Myth #2: Train Your Dog with Treats and He Will Eventually Listen to You Just As Well, Even Without Any Tidbits Forever and Ever After

This without a doubt HAS to be the biggest scam in dog training history! Think about it. Would you still work for your company once they stop paying you? Then how could you possibly expect the same level of response from your poor dog, especially once you stop giving him those cookies? You should surprise your dog with treats once in a while, but at the very “end” of your training session and NOT before each command. That is being fair, smart AND practical. Besides, your dog should sit, stay or lie down because you said so and not because he’s going to get a crispy bacon strip. Most of us were raised that way and turned out OK, didn’t we? Wouldn’t you rather rely on your Love, Leadership, Praise and Technique, instead of Hotdogs, Cheese, Biscuit and Dried Liver? Let’s face it, it doesn’t take much talent OR skill to bribe a dog to death and then confuse it with dog training. Everybody knows that’s simply–“bribery!”

Myth #3: Dog Parks Are the Best Place to Get Your Dog Socialized

This is where your dog actually picks up lots of bad habits that aren’t easy to break. These include: barking nonstop for NO reason, tackling and chasing each other, humping constantly, start marking inside your home, and even stealing or guarding toys from other dogs–and maybe even from you. Let’s not forget jumping up on people, on dogs, growling, snapping, lunging and the chance of your dog being bullied by much bigger and stronger dogs. If you happen to own a tough dog, the day will come when your dog will meet his match that challenges yours, causing a very nasty dog fight. Don’t forget that not all of these dogs are going to be healthy, vaccinated or even spayed/neutered. You’ve probably known of someone that didn’t like you for no apparent reason. It is not much different in dog parks. There will be that one dog that will pick on yours and even maul it for no reason just because he felt like it. This results in your dog losing total trust in–YOU–and becoming fearful or even aggressive toward certain breeds, or worse, toward ALL dogs for rest of its life. As you can see, taking your baby to dog parks is a gamble where the odds are strongly against you. So choose wisely!

Myth #4: Don’t Bother Giving Your Dog ANY Commands, Until You Get His Visual Attention by Saying, “Watch Me!” First

Answer this honestly! Would you rather have your dog look at you or actually “listen” to you? I prefer both. But we all know that LISTENING is far more important. Then please don’t slow down your training progress with the annoying, watch me… watch me… watch me… that’s called nagging!!! (Poor men. Now you know what we go through.) You only need your dog’s eyes glued to you if you choose to prepare him for obedience competitions. Speaking from experience, most of you only care for a well-mannered and obedient pet, rather than a super-trained dog that wins you all these titles, ribbons and trophies.

Myth #5: Since “NO” Doesn’t Get Your Dog’s Attention Anymore, Change it to “Eh”, “Eh-eh” or “Shht” Instead

You definitely want your dog to stop whatever it’s doing the second it hears,”NO!” Even if you have been somewhat successful in getting your dog’s attention with strange terms such as: “Eh,” “Eh-eh,” or my favorite of all–“baaaah.” Your friends, relatives, kids, and your neighbors will laugh at you and have a hard time remembering it. Let’s face it. When your dog misbehaves, people naturally tell it–“NO!” They won’t really remember or even care much for any other terms. Sure, Cesar Millan can control dogs with “Shhht” and it works for him. Are you The Dog Whisperer? I didn’t think so! (Hey Cesar. You owe me one bud! )

Myth #6: You Can Solve Your Dog’s Bad Habits, Which Mostly Occur in Your Home, by Joining an Obedience Class

Here is the main problem with dog classes: they are structured to teach your dog the “obedience factor” only! Ask yourself AND the trainer conducting that group class, how are you able to solve my dog’s bad habits that mostly occur in my HOME, by joining your group class that is full of ten more unruly dogs? Can you really help me solve my dog’s potty training, jumping up, play-biting, barking excessively, over-protectiveness, bolting out the door, chasing my cat, counter surfing, separation anxiety and not having manners around my guests, by dragging it every Wednesday night to a group class? So here’s the truth most of these dog schools hide from you: Group-class trainers, no matter how qualified they may be, and no matter how much they are trying to be helpful, when it really comes down to it, they CANNOT help you with these issues. You need that one-on-one attention to accomplish those tasks. Even teaching your dog to Walk on a Loose Leash, Stay, Lie Down and Come to You When Called, are best taught in private or in your home first.

Myth #7: You Can’t Really Teach a Young Pup Under Four Months Old. And If Your Dog Is a Few Years Old, You Are Totally Out of Luck!

No dog is ever too young or too old to learn what is right and what is wrong, what is acceptable and what is not. It doesn’t really matter whether your dog is an eight week old pup or a stubborn eight year old dog. With a “Diverse Method,” all dogs can be trained and learn to follow your rules. For example, bad habits―such as peeing and pooping all over your house, jumping up on your guests, lunging, snapping, running around like a maniac, barking excessively, knocking down your kids, terrorizing the guests and chasing down the mailman, are all unacceptable behavior. I’m sure you agree that there is no excuse or age limit for ANY of these bad habits and with proper guidance and training technique, they can be solved.

Myth #8: All Dogs Can Be Trained with the Same Training Tool

There is no magical tool that works on EVERY dog. Some dogs are just too strong, too big, too fast, too stubborn, and too sneaky for their poor owners. So which training tools do top trainers swear by? The answer may surprise you. But they too rely on whatever tool that works best for them and their dogs. So why should it be any different with you? If the training tool in which you are using at the moment doesn’t seem to get your dog’s attention or match your physical strength, try a different one. Why use what doesn’t work? This is especially important when your dog is faced with hard-to-ignore distractions such as other dogs, your visitors, the mail carrier or around your neighborhood’s cats.

Myth #9: Dogs Were Born to Please

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the majority of our dogs would rather please themselves first. It’s obvious that your dog loves you dearly, but don’t confuse that with “respect” or “obedience.” Also, if all dogs were truly natural PLEASERS, don’t you think there would be NO dog training books, dog trainers, dog behaviorists or even doggie shrinks? Everybody would have a perfect dog with no bad habits and a dog that listens to you AND everyone else, no matter what the circumstances. Hey, he’s a pleaser, isn’t he? I rest my case!

Myth #10: If You Send Your Dog Away to Be Trained, It Will Learn to Listen ONLY to the Trainer and Still Ignore Just Like Before

Here’s how I will bust this myth once and for all! No dog trainer can argue with the fact that all the best-trained dogs you can think of have been trained by an expert first. Dogs for the blind, dogs for the handicap, hunting dogs, and attack-trained police dogs, are just to name a few. Doggie Boot Camp is a wise choice, especially when you travel out of town, have a busy schedule, mother to be, in process of moving, or, if you just prefer the “expert” to do the hardest part and have you do the maintenance. Basically your dog goes to rehab and gets re-trained, next comes the harder part–training YOU!

NOTE: These ten dog training myths have been presented to you in the most condensed way possible. As you read the rest of the book, you’ll learn more about how I back up what I am trying to convey with even more compelling facts. But you don’t have to take my word for it! I want you to research and study all ten of these myths and mistakes for yourself. Watch some dog classes, observe different dog parks, talk to a few dog owners who have actually tried different training methods, and compare this book to other dog training and dog psychology books on the market.

I’m confident the results you’ll get by following the “Diverse Method” taught in this book, will be so convincing, that you’ll agree other methods won’t stand a chance. This is because by being diverse, you are combining the best of every method making yourself highly versatile.

Kevin Salem is considered to be one of the brightest minds in the world of dog training and one of the pioneers in his field. It’s hard to paint Kevin’s image with the same brush as others, as his unique way of thinking, writing, and philosophy truly makes him distinct. If you are a fan of Cesar Millan, it will be difficult not to fall in love with Kevin’s book. You’ll finally be able to put an end to your dog’s: Jumping Up, House-training, Play-biting, Barking, Leash Pulling, Destructiveness, Bolting Out, Over-protectiveness– to complete off-leash response. 10 week old pups to 10 yr old adults, all breeds welcome. Kevin offers Doggie Boot Camp or House Calls Nationwide.
