What are you training your animals to do?

I have an 11 month old, 130# Great Dane puppy training to be a mobility service dog. I've had him for just a couple weeks.
8 month old kitten I've put training on hold. We covered leash walking, kenneling, coming to the house in the morning, sit, down, come, and a couple tricks.

That is cool! Who do you get the opportunity to train a dog for a service? I've always wanted to be bale to take in Lab pups and train them to be guide dogs!

I'm disabled. I owner-train service dogs for myself. I've used them for over a decade now. Somehow this time it seems harder. Or I'm getting dumber. Or my kids are just that distracting. IDK

I am about to start some duck fencing this week cos they have ripped out a fair few of my spring seedlings now. They have plenty of other feed, and they dont actually eat the seedings, just rip them out and leave them to dry out and die. I will be happy to have the ducks away from the house for summer time.
Just about finished my couch runner crochet for the back/top of the couch. It should be done today and then I am going to try and cover some rubber floor mats in crochet too. Might not work but I will give it a go.

i was the last of the four of us siblings, i think Mom was pretty much numb after my next older brother as he's very active. i'm the opposite. funny how all of us turned out so different. anyways, my point was that i pretty much got away with everything because i had older siblings to watch to learn how not to get caught and also because by the time i came around she just didn't care... j/k but it's funny...

You got me thinking about boredom busters for chickens @MistyWeeg13 ! I'm thinking of stuffing a .. cage, suet holder, something... with leftover greens and maybe veggie scraps.
Another one that caught my attention is to take an old wine corkscrew, hang it, and screw food on it, like an apple or small cabbage. A long nail sticking out of the wall is more my style. I dont have an extra corkscrew and I'm not buying one for chickens.

I saw a cool set up for chickens- kind of like a giant shish-kebab... they strung pieces of fruit and veggies onto a string and hooked it up to two fences. The holes in the food were slightly larger than the cordage, so when they get pecked they sort of spin around a bit.
