Anyways. Do you have pets? Do you own a vacuum or other loud appliance that scares them?

Would you like to know how to let them know they don't need to be afraid?

Tell them every time you're going to turn it on, and when you're done using it.

Yes, I am 100% serious.

You're about to vacuum? Tell your pets, "I'm turning the vacuum on", several times, in the same tone of voice, every time before you turn it on. I even include a little count down right before I push the button. Do they understand what a count down is? No, but they know it's what happens right before the vacuum turns on.

And when you're done using the loud appliance, tell your pets you are done. "The vacuum's off! All done!". Repeat this several times too. And give them treats and praise.

Do this every time you need to turn on the loud appliance, and whenever you're done using it.

Guess what? None of our cats are afraid of the vacuum anymore. They stopped being afraid after maybe the sixth time since we started doing this years ago.

And this now includes the four formerly-feral kittens we just acquired in July. They've only heard the vacuum twice, but they take their cues from the rest of the cats and me, and since the other cats were calm and acting like this was normal, the kittens weren't afraid, just startled and mildly confused. And that was the first time I ran the vacuum since we got them.

And by the second time I used the vacuum, they were so completely unafraid of it even while it was running that they literally chased a dust bunny all the way to the vacuum itself, and I had to sit there for two solid minutes waiting for them to leave because they were in the way. Literally playing directly in front of the vacuum that was on and running. Paying it no attention whatsoever.

Because they saw that the other cats weren't afraid, they saw that I wasn't acting out of the ordinary, they saw the vacuum wasn't hurting them, it was just loud. So they aren't afraid of it at all.

It's literally this easy.

Most of the reason pets are scared of vacuums is because it's surprising, and they never know when it's going to happen. IF you give them warning, and make sure they know when you're done, they'll stop being afraid.

Literally next time I am vacuuming I will get a video of the kittens completely ignoring the roaring vacuum in favor of chasing a piece of lint directly in front of it if you don't believe me.

9. Rules

Masterlist

Previous Next

CW: training, caning

Olive tried not to fidget as she stood in those cursed shoes in the grand entrance hall. Ms Carter watched her from the side, unforgiving and stern. Sebastian strolled in, cane in hand, jacket discarded.

“Well then, rules. Rules define us, provide structure and routine. You know rules one, two, and three already. Repeat them.”

“Address you as sir, do as you say…” she struggled to remember the other one. Whack! Olive hissed.

“Rule two. Do not speak without permission.” When she said nothing he smiled. “Clever. Repeat rule two.”

“Do not speak without permission.” Another thwack. “Do not speak without permission, sir.” This was going to get old quickly.

“Better. Repeat these rules after I say them. Rule four: you are to greet me and any guests with a curtsy.”

“Greet you and any guests with a curtsy, sir.”

“Show me.” Olive did her best, dipping a few inches. When Mr Camberton stepped closer she stiffened, but he didn’t hit her. “Keep your back straight, right leg goes behind, head bowed, maintain eye contact.” She tried again and flinched as he put his hand on shoulder, forcing her lower.

When he was finally satisfied with her curtsy he stepped back.

“Rule five: you will not break, damage, or tamper with any item belonging to me, or any person in this house. That includes your clothes and anything else I give to you.”

“Ow!” The cane stung as it hit her arm again. “I didn’t do anything!” Another hit in the same place had her yelping.

“The first was for not repeating the rule. The second was for talking back. Which leads me to rule six: you will not argue, question, or talk back to me.”

“Do not argue, question, or talk back, sir.”

“And rule five?”

“Don’t break anything.” This time the cane hit her bare forearm. She glared at him, and quickly earned herself another.

“I don’t appreciate impudence. Rule five again.”

“Don’t break or damage anything, including any items given to me.” She quickly added, “sir.” He nodded in approval.

“Rule seven: you are to ensure any area of the house you use is clean and tidy.”

“Keep any areas of the house I use clean and tidy, sir.”

“Rule eight: you are to maintain a presentable appearance at all times. This includes good posture and a pleasant countenance.”

“Be presentable at all times with good posture and pleasant countenance, sir.”

“What is rule four?”

Olive sorted through the rules, trying to remember- thwack. Tears began forming.

“Curtsy when… greet people with a curtsy. Sir.”

“Rule nine: when dismissed you are to curtsy and return immediately to either your task or your room.”

“When dismissed, curtsy and return to my task or my room, sir.”

“Rule ten: if you break any of these rules, either on purpose or by accident, you are to inform Ms Carter and kneel in the entrance hall until I determine a suitable punishment.”

Olive struggled to get the words out, her voice too quiet. “If I break any rules, I am to inform Ms Carter and kneel in the entrance hall… until you decide a punishment, sir.”

“I’ll have Ms Carter give you a copy of the rules. I expect you to memorise them. Dismissed.”

Olive turned quickly, eager to get away from Mr Camberton and his wretched cane. But she only got a few steps before he called after her.

“Wait.” She looked back at him. “What was rule nine?” Shit.

“Curtsy when dismissed and return to my room. Sir.”

“And rule ten?”

“If I break a rule, tell Ms Carter and kneel in the entrance hall until you decide on a punishment, sir.”

“Since I was present for that particular rule break, there isn’t any need to tell Ms Carter. But I do expect you to kneel.”

Nausea clamped down on her empty stomach as Olive turned back to the centre of the room, taking her time as she knelt on the cold marble. Mr Camberton looked her over.

“Hold out your left hand.” She did, not daring to look at him. The cane whistled as it came down on her open palm and she cried out, cradling it to her chest. “Did I say to move it?” The words were mocking, cruel things that betrayed his enjoyment. Slowly Olive held it back out.

The next blow was just as hard, and she shook slightly with the effort of keeping it aloft, a sob escaping her lips. For a while there was nothing. Just the anticipation of pain.

“You’re dismissed.”

She practically scrambled to her feet, curtsying low before walking away, breathing fast and heavy, Ms Carter’s heavy footsteps close behind.

How to Stop Your Bear From Eating Siblings Or Dogs

So, you've done it. It was difficult, but you've finally taken the leap and obtained the bear of your dreams. Hooray!

However, your lovely bear has taken the leap as well--towards little Timmy. Oh dear.

Well, no use crying over a little spilled blood, as they say, but you can take steps to prevent the wastage of similar resources in the future. Here's what to do.

1. Brainstorm possible motivations

Make a list of reasons why your bear might feel the need to do that. Maybe he's bored, or hungry, or maybe she just has a lust for violence?

2. Think like a detective, not a zookeeper

Bears are all unique individuals with unique needs, tastes, and destructive tendencies. The reason why Winnie kills may be completely different from what motivates Baloo. Experiment, observe carefully, and try to narrow down the motivations of your baby bear so that you can discourage the unwanted behavior.

3. Locate an experienced and affordable bear whisperer

The easiest way to stop unwanted bear behavior is by seeking the services of a bear whisperer. There are number of services you can used to find friendly, experienced professionals in your area, such as mypetscop.com, unfuckmypet.net, and pettrainerzzz.rez.

Conclusion

With these 3 simple steps, you should be able to get even the most difficult bear under your thumb. Stay tuned for more helpful tutorials, and remember to like and reblog to support us so we can provide you with more high quality educational materials so you and your pet can live your best life.❤️

Pet Technology: Innovations Revolutionizing Pet Care in the Digital Age

The pet business is flourishing. The American Pet Products Association reports that in 2023, pet owners in the US alone spent an astounding $103.6 billion on their feathered, scaled, or furry friends. The increased desire of pet owners to give their cherished animals the finest care possible is reflected in this spending boom.

Pet technology is a rapidly developing field that is altering the way we care for our pets, and it is driving this trend. Pet tech is changing pet care into a more convenient, proactive, and data-driven enterprise. Examples of this include automated feeders that guarantee proper portion management and wearable health monitors that measure activity levels and sleep habits.

We'll dive into the fascinating world of pet technology in this blog article, looking at how it's influencing many facets of pet care and what the future holds for this cutting-edge industry.

Elevate Your Pet's Care with Innovative Technology!

Smart Solutions for Everyday Needs: How Pet Tech is Transforming Pet Care

Gone are the days of worrying about running out of kibble before you get home from work or wondering what your furry friend is up to while you're away. Pet tech offers a variety of smart solutions that cater to our everyday pet care needs, making life easier for both pet owners and their companions.

Automated Feeding and Portion Control

Automatic feeders are a game-changer for busy pet owners. These handy devices dispense pre-programmed portions of food at specific times throughout the day, eliminating the need for manual feeding and ensuring your pet receives consistent meals. This is particularly beneficial for pets who require strict portion control to maintain a healthy weight or manage medical conditions like diabetes.

Here's a closer look at the benefits of automatic feeders:

Convenience: Set it and forget it! Automatic feeders take the guesswork out of mealtimes, ensuring your pet is fed on time even when you're not around.

Portion Control: Prevent overfeeding, a common cause of obesity in pets, by dispensing precise amounts of food. This can be especially helpful for pets prone to weight gain.

Scheduled Feeding: Maintain a consistent feeding routine, which can be beneficial for a pet's digestive health and overall well-being.

Multiple Meal Dispensing: Some feeders allow for dispensing multiple meals throughout the day, which can be ideal for pets who require smaller, more frequent feedings.

Case Study: The Happy Pup with a Weight Problem

Max, a Labrador Retriever, was struggling with his weight. His owner, Sarah, noticed Max was constantly begging for food and seemed lethargic. The vet recommended portion control as a key part of Max's weight management plan. However, Sarah's busy work schedule made it difficult to stick to a consistent feeding routine.

The solution? An automatic feeder! Sarah programmed the feeder to dispense two smaller meals a day and noticed a significant improvement in Max's weight and energy levels.

Keeping an Eye on Your Furry Friend: Remote Monitoring and Pet Cameras.

Feeling anxious about leaving your pet home alone? Pet cameras offer peace of mind and a way to stay connected with your furry friend even when you're away. These Wi-Fi enabled cameras allow you to:

Monitor your pet remotely: Check in on your pet throughout the day using your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Two-way audio: Talk to your pet and hear them respond, offering comfort and reducing separation anxiety.

Night vision: Keep an eye on your pet even in low light conditions.

Motion detection: Receive alerts if your pet triggers the motion sensor, allowing you to check for any unusual activity.

Pet cameras are not just for monitoring behavior; they can also be used for training purposes. For example, you can use the two-way audio feature to correct unwanted behaviors like barking or chewing remotely.

Fitness Trackers for Fido (and Fluffy): Wearable Tech for Pets

Just like their human counterparts, pets can benefit from wearing wearable health trackers. These tiny devices, often attached to collars or harnesses, collect data on a pet's activity levels, sleep patterns, and even vital signs like heart rate and respiratory rate.

Here's how wearable tech can revolutionize pet care:

Track Activity Levels: Monitor your pet's daily activity levels and identify any changes that might signal a health issue, such as lethargy or decreased mobility.

Monitor Sleep Patterns: Track your pet's sleep quality and identify any disruptions that could indicate underlying health problems or stress.

Early Detection of Health Issues: Changes in activity levels, sleep patterns, and vital signs can be early indicators of health problems. Wearable trackers can help you identify these changes early on, allowing for prompt veterinary intervention.

Table: Examples of Features on Pet Wearable Trackers By providing valuable data and insights into your pet's health and well-being, wearable tech empowers you to make informed decisions about their care and ensure they live a long, healthy life.

Beyond Convenience: Pet Tech for Advanced Care and Well-being

Pet technology isn't just about convenience; it's also revolutionizing the way we approach pet healthcare. Innovative solutions are emerging that offer advanced care options and promote a pet's overall well-being.

Telemedicine for Pets: Remote Vet Consultations

Imagine having access to veterinary care for your pet without ever leaving your home. Telemedicine for pets is making this a reality. Through video chat consultations, pet owners can connect with licensed veterinarians for a variety of non-emergency situations, such as:

Discussing minor behavioral issues

Refills on medications

Follow-up consultations after a vet visit

Addressing minor skin or coat concerns

Benefits of Telemedicine for Pets:

Convenience: Schedule appointments at your convenience, eliminating the stress of travel for both you and your pet.

Cost-effective: Telemedicine consultations can be more affordable than traditional in-clinic visits.

Accessibility: Provides access to veterinary care for pet owners in remote locations or those with mobility limitations.

AI-Powered Pet Care: Personalized Insights and Early Intervention

Artificial intelligence (AI) is making its way into the world of pet tech, offering exciting possibilities for personalized pet care. AI algorithms can analyze data collected from wearable trackers and pet cameras, providing valuable insights into a pet's health and behavior.

Here's how AI can revolutionize pet care:

Personalized Health Monitoring: AI can analyze data from wearables to identify patterns and trends specific to your pet, allowing for a more personalized approach to healthcare.

Early Detection of Health Issues: AI can detect subtle changes in vital signs or activity levels that might be missed by the human eye, enabling early intervention for potential health problems.

Predictive Analytics: Advanced AI applications might even be able to predict future health issues based on a pet's data, allowing for preventative measures.

Smart Homes for Happy Pets: Integrating Pet Tech into Your Smart Home System

The concept of a smart home isn't just for humans anymore. Pet tech can be seamlessly integrated into your smart home system, creating a more comfortable and convenient environment for your furry friend.

Imagine these possibilities:

Automatic pet doors: Grant your pet access to designated areas of your home or the outdoors when you're not around.

Temperature-controlled pet beds: Ensure your pet's comfort with a bed that automatically adjusts the temperature.

Self-cleaning litter boxes: Eliminate the chore of scooping the litter box with a self-cleaning model that operates on a timer or through sensor activation.

By integrating pet tech into your smart home system, you can create a more enriching and stress-free environment for your pet, contributing to their overall well-being.

The Future of Pet Technology: What's on the Horizon?

The future of pet technology is brimming with exciting possibilities that promise to further revolutionize the way we care for our animal companions. Here's a glimpse into what the future might hold:

Virtual Reality for Pet Entertainment: Imagine a world where your pet can explore virtual landscapes, chase virtual butterflies, or engage in interactive games – all from the comfort of your living room. VR experiences designed specifically for pets are on the horizon, offering mental stimulation and entertainment to combat boredom and destructive behaviors.

Robotic Pet Companions: For pet owners who struggle with loneliness or live in environments where traditional pets aren't allowed, robotic companions could offer a solution. These advanced robots could provide companionship, entertainment, and even basic care for pets.

Advanced Health Monitoring Systems: Expect even more sophisticated wearable health trackers and implantable technologies that monitor a wider range of vital signs and body functions in real-time. This data could provide invaluable insights into a pet's health and well-being, allowing for preventative measures and personalized treatment plans.

Pet-to-Human Communication Devices: While mind-reading technology might still be in the realm of science fiction, advancements in AI and biofeedback could lead to the development of devices that translate a pet's emotions and needs into understandable signals for their human companions.

These are just a few examples of the exciting possibilities that pet technology holds for the future. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect even more innovative solutions that will not only enhance our pets' lives but also deepen the bond between humans and animals.

Conclusion

Pet technology is here to stay and has an indisputable influence on pet care; it is no longer a futuristic concept. Pet technology is revolutionizing the way we look after our furry (or feathery, or scaled) family members. It does this by handling anything from making sure our dogs are fed and amused while we are away to giving useful data for proactive treatment. We may anticipate much more fascinating technological advancements in the future that will improve our beloved dogs' happiness and well-being.
