Answer:

For Australian readers, a CO2 fire extinguisher is a type E (for Electrical) Advantages CO2 is non-conductive and non-corrosive. It reduces the oxygen available to fuel the fire. It is used against fires involving live electrical appliances such as toasters, computers and switchboards. Limited usefulness on small flammable liquid fires, and cooking oil fires. Carbon Dioxide leaves no residue. Disadvantages It is not suitable for outdoor use- it dissipates too readily. Because it reduces oxygen it can be hazardous to humans in very confined spaces. CO2 extinguishers produce a loud noise when discharged, which may startle an inexperienced operator. Avoid discharging at people, frostbite to the eyes and face may occur. Avoid contact with metal components after use- dry ice may form on them.
Well, She gave me some other things to research. DINOS is one. Dogs in need of space. Interesting reading. She also told me she believes in medicating in order to train, because if the dog is too fearful to execute a behavior, how can one move forward? Her opinion is if a little medication can help a dog to offer a behavior, that is a big win, because once offered, it gets easier and easier to repeat that behavior. You can imagine I was on the edge of my chair for hours. We had a conversation about Pepper, too. ETA: Well, I read the article. I am always suspicious of the media, as there is so much sensationalism just to sell papers that many pertinent facts can be overlooked in order to get the right response. At first glance, I do think the dog should be euthanized. Not because he is vicious, or because of genetics, but because this was a severe bite, and if we save every dog who bites someone severely because we don't know what happened, dog owners will just get more and more irresponsible. By the way, the video did reveal some interesting submissive behaviors. Brenda Aloff's Canine Body Language book talks about tongue flicking, shifting of eyes, the position of the dogs ears, and other subtle body postures. Also a great read! Helped me to read Pepper like a pro, both while training, and while just observing. That being said, I am quite sick of all these new age parents who think their kids are the responsibility of everyone else, while they make stupid mistakes like leaving them unsupervised with a dog. The resurgence of baby making has created a huge quantity of idiots with children, who should all have them taken away. A shame, really, as the dog always has to pay the price for human stupidity. Good luck with the clicker training! Just remember with this kind of conditioning, it is not about the end of the journey, but the journey itself. Have fun!
Who say's they don't have emotions? They 100% feel just like a human feels, Happiness, sadness, fear, excitement. I don't know who said that but that's not true.
