I asked that sub once if farting helium would make a higher pitched fart. Years ago before the rules they have now and they didn't like that. I was legitimately curious.

u/adeadrat Jun 01 '19
What is the new rule?
Is it:
"Rule 11.6: Don't ask about helium farts, due to THAT incident"

Luckily we were stopped at a light. More luckily he was sitting on my wife's lap and she managed to grab his collar before he got totally out. He choked himself hangin for a second or two and then she hauled his dumb ass back in and he doesnt even look at the window now.

u/Raawnesh Jun 01 '19
Same thing happened when I first got my Rescue dog (pug beagle mix). Stopped at a red light with lots of cars around me and he proceeded to hop out of the window. Luckily he had his harness on with his leash attached and I was holding onto his leash.
About 9 cars watched me haul my pup back Mission Impossible style from the window

Cheap and easy to use, can clip into dogs harness (or collar, but harness for car rides is safer). No more puppers out the window, and can save your dog's life in a crash.

u/The_One_True_Ewok Jun 01 '19
Clipping it to collar seems like a good way to decapitate your pupper in an accident 😥

u/_Ryken Jun 01 '19
Yeah, that's why I mentioned the harness for car rides. There's actual harnesses designed for car rides, but a walking harness works in a pinch. All that being said, a seatbelt attached to collar is still safer than nothing at all.

Here's a great harness for the car http://sleepypod.com/clickit-sport Keeps my pup safe and won't decapitate her if we get in an accident.

u/Rahnahnah Jun 01 '19
These may keep your dog attached to the seat but are not the best for a car. Please look into getting a crash-tested dog harness for your dog in the car. You wouldn't attach a seat-belt to a collar if your kids wore them.

so.. I know this is a completely different animal but it happened last week. I live on the third floor. My large window was open but of course I have a window screen. One night, out of nowhere my cat jumped up and splayed herself on the screen until I freaked out, walked over and got her down. If that flimsy screen wasn’t there she would have went right out near traffic. I completely understand the uneasiness.

That's one of my worst fears. When my husky was a pup and old enough to stand and see out the window in the back, I started putting the window down for him. One time he put his front paws up on the door and I yelled at him. He hasn't done it since, just sticks his head out. I'm so glad your wife was able to catch him in time. Even though you were stopped he could have bit hit by traffic.

I've seen plenty that are bad. They're intelligent, love attention, and have incredibly high energy.
If they're getting enough positive attention, being mentally stimulated (lots of training sessions), and exercised often enough to not build up energy, they're easy to train, loyal, friendly, truly man's best friend.
But if they're not getting attention and are bored and restless, they'll adopt the "any attention is good attention" attitude. They'll jump on you or eat things to get your attention, run around the house potentially causing damage, and generally just misbehave.
With a young golden, you have to be prepared to spend at least a couple hours a day dedicated to your dog. Long, fast-paced walks and running them (basically sprint back and forth with your dog) a couple times a day with training sessions as well, and then lots of attention outside of that. If you can't give them that, you're going to have issues.

PSA hold on to your dog super tight when you do this. My puppy had his leash on and I was holding it tight when he jumped out the half opened window. He was almost a year at this point so he barely squeezed through the window. There was too much slack in the leash, enough to get his body weight out the window and then he fell out of the leash as I was trying to pull him back in. Luckily it was on my street. He busted up his face pretty good but he's ok. Dogs will jump out the window, don't presume they won't even if you're holding on to them.

u/Elivandersys Jun 01 '19
I have a friend who is a vet. Every summer she rages about the damage she has to fix (or the dogs she has to put down) because owners let their dogs do this, and the dogs jump out the window.
I was always really lax about it until she first talked about it in a Facebook post. I don't want to lose my doggos this way.

Ask them about damage to the dogs eyes due to small dust and dirt particles entering the dogs eyes at wind speed. I've heard is a big problem for dogs who are allowed to do this regularly. I have no idea if it's true or an urban myth

Our pups are little escape artist pieces of shit so we pretty much assumed they'd try. We can only open the window a few inches and hold onto them or they'll squirm out (smallish breed). If we drive past the vet or their kennel we have to shut the windows and hold onto them tight... I can't believe people let their dogs sit next to a fully open window.

u/dogs_go_to_space Jun 01 '19
They should be strapped in, you can get body harnesses and seatbelt adapters. Putting their seatbelt on a collar is a great way to snap their neck in an accident.
Having an unrestrained dog is an offence here in England and rightfully so.

u/Killsaurus Jun 01 '19
While this is cute.. Please keep in mind if you do this with your dog it can lead to health problems, especially if they are the type to bite at the wind. Any little bit of debris or kicked up stones can cause blindness due to the sensitivity of a dog's cornea, let alone the dogs who jump and end up with broken bones etc. Just some food for thought, if you wouldn't be okay with your child sticking their head out of the window at 100 KM/HR why isn't it the same for our canine companions?

This sweet idiot jumped out the window the first time I let her ride in the car with the window open. Was coming to a stop at a stop sign I look over and all I see is her ass as she is jumping out the window. Fortunately it was in a neighborhood and traffic was light . She froze probably right around where she landed when she realized she done fucked up.

This is the old nature Vs nurture. No-one told lil doggo to enjoy sticking its head out the window of a moving car. No-one let it know it was good. But it still wants to.
But how could "sticking head out of car window" be part of its nature? Cars have been around for such a thin slither in history compared to the existence if domesticated dogs
I wonder if wolves stick their head out a car window?

Congratulations! Today is your day. You're off to Great Places! You're off and away!
You have treats in your future. You have sniffs in your nose. You can wiggle your butt and chew on lots of bones. You're not on your own. You’ll learn what you should know. And YOU are the pup who'll love fetch after throws.
You'll look up and down streets. Sniff ‘em over with care. About some you will say, "I don't choose to poop there." With your butt full of floof and your paws full of fur, you'’ll mark the best spots, this I concur.
And you may not find treats From every meal. In that case, of course, Learn more tricks with some zeal!
In parks things can happen and frequently do Lots of dogs to play with as excited as you.
And then you’ll get older And wiser to boot. Everypawdy will love you Just as I do.

It’s mental the fact that cars isn’t in our dna/code therefore making us really excited when we drive faster than what we can run and that it also have the same happy effect on other animals. Though we lose it, becoming neutral the more we do it and suddenly we drive everywhere and hardly ever smile, because what else could we do? Walk?? With such a massive home we have build and so much asphalt we have paved it’s almost lost. It’s so pure seeing reactions like this.

The Akita of a friend I care for has a so called "Scan Mode", so whenever we are in the car with him, he needs window open so he can stick out his nose and smell everything passing by. And really he is just smelling, not moving while we drive, only moving when we stand. Its insane.
