It’s scientifically proven in man tracking that sudden fear can and does change the scent and pheromones that are released by the body resulting in a different scent profile, I’m no cat hunter but have read and studied these cases and instances a good bit just out of curiosity, I’ve seen this very t...

I’ve used Garminsince the 220 /dc30 came out and have never had a problem with them not tracking and finding my dog. As far as I know, I’ve never had one malfunction and correct the dog on it’s on.

Admire and its predecessors could kill a man or seriously harm if alot was inhaled and those cattle tags we used for ticks are dosed for 1000lb cattle. I try not to use anymore. Cant be good for a 50...

It’s give me a feeling of contentment looking across the yard at everything full, healthy, and happy, but I do watch my dogs eat, especially the ones who eat as if they’re starving and a pack of wolves is about to devour their meal, I use this opportunity to put an even better handle on them, it tak...

There’s a plug that’s manufacture with a built in thermostat that will shut itself off at certain temp ranges, might can google and find one that suits your climate and have it in the house behind the light so it shuts light off at specific temp and turns itself back on once the internal temp drops
