Not about training. About how useful that item is.
I am pretty sure there are some other jobs that require gas mask too. yes, those chemical factory.

Yeah. But even if it's useful, if it's not a required part of the training, then you won't get it.

THE PUP IS HOWLING AT 5AM

They must be on sale somewhere. x.x

Would lightly smacking him help? So that he knows it's not good to do that?

@Xuv: Yeah...might check with some of those shops that sell survival gear.

lol. well... it is still a pup. XD

Antata~ you play survival gameS?

lol No, I'm not an adrenaline junkie. I just like collecting survival stuff. XD

nah, he only did it once, silly thing.

That sound cute. Maybe the pup have some nightmares?

What other things Antata collects?

Is it possible that he's in heat? My friend's cat is six months old and currently in heat and has been meowing at all hours of the night according to the friend.

I like key chain rings...the hoop, not whatever's hanging from it. Oh and keys. I also like knives but they're more expensive and harder to collect.

woo, I am happy to see what things people collect. <33

lol Do you collect anything?

nope, we got him a new toy, and every time he plays with it, he howls.

Weird. Maybe he needs a different toy if it's going to make him howl every time he plays with it.

Yes indeed that doesn't sound like a good toy for him >.>

because it's his new favourite toy.
plus howling is better than his barking.

D: No way to train him out from barking/howling?

barking is his way of letting us know he has to go to the bathroom, so definitely not untraining him that.
and howling is a normal dog thing, so we probably wont do anything about it.

I collect stationery and art stuffs. <33

Hmm...maybe train him so that he only barks/howls when he has to go or emergencies, but not any time else?

well the barking is already only for the bathroom, so no change needed there.
and we don't feel comfortable training him to go against most of his natural instincts.
plus he isn't even 5 months old yet, so he's going to do whatever, regardless.

Ah. Yeah, still young. He looks like a really fluffy plushie. XD

he is currently laying between the American and I.
it's pretty adorable.

Reminds me of my guinea pig...when she huddles down into a fluffy ball of fur it's just so adorable. <33

he doesn't really cuddle, and lays down for maybe five minutes at a time in here.
