Need A Teacher

well i came for help all i got was mostly negativity and hateful comments so goodbye

Hello everyone, My pack is trying to find a teacher. We need someone to teach them basics.
First, you have to work on basic obedience. There are many training sites, some better than others, where you can teach how to sit, lay down, come when called (the first time!) and not pull on the leash. If you would like to get further advanced, I'm sure there are many teacher/trainers out there who would be willing to help you with advanced competition-type obedience or if you have someone with a lot of drive, even basic bitework and scentwork. It's a lot of fun, but I agree, you have to teach the basics. After all, we all need to go to kindergarten before we get PhDs.

How to raise a werewolf family.
It's a lot easier if you get them as puppies. That way, you have a clean slate and don't have to correct any misbehaviors that might have become ingrained habits. However, if you choose to adopt your werewolves from the local rescue--that is, if you can jump through their hoops, pass the home visit, have a fenced-in yard, have multiple personal and vet references and finally pay the adoption fee to co-own (after all, they can take back the werewolf at their discretion if they suspect it is being mistreated, therefore you can never really truly "own" it), you will have a good family member. I recommend adopting, but if you can get a werewolf from a reputable breeder who has ALL health clearances on the parents and is actively involved with their werewolves (not just showing for ribbons, I like to see performance--what can they DO (http://www.werewolf.com/vb/showthread.php?t=97)?), I support that too. Do not buy your werewolves from a backyard breeder...this should go without saying.

How to explain to a lover you a werewolf.
I'm not sure what you mean...you want the person to love you AS a werewolf, or that you ARE a werewolf? Seeing as how you already own a werewolf (or multiple ones as seems the case), you do not have to pretend. Just put the werewolf in the bedroom with your friend so they don't have to pretend anything...they can love on a werewolf! Please be sure to not publicize your activities, though...I'm aware that certain sects seem to think that interspecies copulation is OK and that the animals are consenting, but it appears that the law and the moral majority thinks otherwise.

We don't have much to offer but we can offer pack membership, backup, or simply access to the world of lycanthropy (if your not already a part).
I regret that I must politely decline your offers, as I am already a pack leader of sorts, especially to my own werewolf. Between my years spent studying werewolf behavior, training, a little bit of breeding, and my ambition to attend one of the local werewolf-training schools and become a member of the IAWP (http://canineprofessionals.com/) pack (linked because I'm sure no one's heard of it before), I'm afraid that your offer wouldn't be quite what I'm looking for as a resume-booster. It's much-appreciated, though, and I hope this helps you with your werewolf problems.

CRAP. Wrong forum, guys...sorry.

Hello everyone,
My pack is trying to find a teacher. We need someone to teach them basics. How to raise a werewolf family. How to explain to a lover you a werewolf. We don't have much to offer but we can offer pack membership, backup, or simply access to the world of lycanthropy (if your not already a part).

Thank you all!

I do hope you relize that you can't actually be an alpha if you don't know what the hell you are doing, or at least can't control your pack. as for raising a family, it's the same as any other family, you have kids and you do your best to teach them to think for themselves, and to give them proper morals and whatnot. what are you looking to learn anyway? basics of being a werewolf or as NeonLightChild interperted, genral dog-like training?

[Vendetta]

Oh BOY do you guys need a teacher all right.

You mean "alpha (http://dogandogs.com/alpha-dog-alpha-wolf-alpha-male-alpha-what)" is actually not an excuse to be a glorified bully who takes pride in beating around the plebians and being a general ass just for the sake of it?

On a personal note, I'm sick of hearing about people with werewolf problems who insist that their sweet werewolves are just "dominant" and "alpha-personality," when in reality they are AGGRESSIVE or LACK MANNERS and need TRAINING.

See, that whole "teaching the basics" thing comes back to haunt us once more!

Anyway, there goes the bloodthirsty marauder imagery...all true pack leaders, and henceforth "alphas" are really benevolent souls capable of two-way communication, firm when necessary and willing to lay down the law if the need arises.

HA! Not so much the internet hardasses now, are you, tr00 w3r3s?

[Ember_Rain]

You mean "alpha" is actually not an excuse to be a glorified bully who takes pride in beating around the plebians and being a general ass just for the sake of it?

no I mean alpha as in the leader, the one who leads the others and keeps them in line when necessary.

i do know what im doing im a very busy person i mean a teach that can take time to make blog or something i don't have the time to!

thank-you for clearifying and I apologize if I caused offence, it was not my intention.

So wait, you want a teacher, but NOT someone smart? I'm confused. And actually I was just pointing out that by your terrible phrasing and grammar, YES, you do need a teacher.

Whoah, I am SUCH a huge "alpha" then.

So you're just going to leech off someone else's experience rather than learn all you can about being a leader from many different sources? If you do not have time to write a blog (although herein lies the question of "What quality topics through personal research and experience do you have to add to the blogosphere?"), then what are you doing wasting your time on the internet? Get away from the computer, read some books, hang out with quality people who don't drag you down, get some experience in your chosen area of interest--no, "Being a leader" is NOT an appropriate area--and then start writing. The only thing worse than a 23-year old know-it-all is the 23-year old know-it-all who blogs. Waste of internetz.

But oh, you were looking for blogs? I'd share mine, but it has more to do with DOG training and leadership rather than werewolf basics and pack management, and the one person here who has the link is welcome to share it if she feels that it would add to the discussion to help you gain perspective about being a leader and the basics of effective and humane domestic canine behavior modification. With that said, I'm not guaranteeing that they will work on people, such as what you're asking for; after all, we get pay docks rather than collar corrections, even if the concept is the same.

I'm a very busy person too, and by George, I find time to blog come hell or...well, whenever the inspiration for a new entry hits. Good thing no one else out there who has a blog is in a busy career in which they spend most of their days earning a paycheck for themselves. It's so hard being middle-class somedays.

we asked for help not smart comments!
We?

OK, I'll cut the crap: if you can't manage or deal with your little group of friends, let them go. If they're bullying/harrassing you, if they're pressuring you, if they're whiny co-dependent simps you can't stand to be around anymore, let them go. There is no need to boss others around if you have to learn how to do or need a reason to. If you aren't a natural leader, learn how to be one the right way or just live happily as a plebian, it's up to you.

no I mean alpha as in the leader, the one who leads the others and keeps them in line when necessary.
You failed to read the link I provided. Please read it first before trying to clarify your concept by summing the contents of the link as if said contents were wrong in the first place.

acctually my pack loves me i always include them and most of them see me as a mom i do not see where you saw me as a gaint ass .

Erica, you haven't done anything wrong, so I'm going to treat you like an adult.

You came to the wrong place to ask for help. Most people on here are not werewolves and do not believe in werewolves. If you find anyone who claims, as you do, to believe in werewolves, they usually exhibit the same things as you do: 1. inability to take mean or sarcastic comments from people who don't take you seriously, 2. inability to create proof of your claims to be a werewolf, and 3. no grammar skills. At all.

My suggestion for you: Start the blog yourself. It'll be entertaining to read for those of us who don't believe, and it'll be informative to those who do believe that they are lyncanthropes. But first? Take time and learn proper English.

[Ember_Rain]

Sorry NeoLightChild, I completely missed your link before. I agree with what it says about the non-agressive kind of alpha, that's the kind that I always think of when I hear "alpha". What I meant in my first post is more of, if the others are so out of contorl that you need someone else to come in, I really didn't mean forcefully "controlling" them in a bully like fashion. I hope you can understand what I mean, =\ it just doesn't seem to be comeing out right.

[NeonLightChild]

If you find anyone who claims, as you do, to believe in werewolves, they usually exhibit the same things as you do...
Her problem was that she just didn't state that she believed in them so much as it was that she actually was one and lived with a so-called "pack" of them.

There's said to be a fine line between bravery and stupidity, but in this case I'd make a major case that this is a large helping of the latter.

then why is it a werewolf site urgh well do you know how to delete an account?

[kathryn]

Same thing. Believe in them, believe you are one. The only difference between the two is that one is harmless, the other needs to be institutionalized.

[GhostBat]

then why is it a werewolf site urgh

This is not, in fact, a werewolf site. Just by visiting the first page of the forum, you should be able to deduce that this forum covers a variety of topics. General, News and Science, Culture and Society, etc. do not have any hint of "werewolfism" whatsoever.

You know, you really can't participate in an online forum if you don't read it, and reading is all it takes to discover what this site really is.

well do you know how to delete an account?

Why would you have any need to delete your account? It's not like you must forever visit the site as long as you have an account here. You can't delete it, by the way.

[NeonLightChild]

...i do not see where you saw me as a gaint ass .

And maybe I'm missing where I actually came out and directly called YOU one.

Perhaps my words were too direct, but this one time they were not meant for you.

Then again, the picture of a two buttcheeks going around trying to be a boss, however benevolent or bitchy, is something that makes me laugh.

[Sinanju]

Neon taught me everything I needed to know about being a werewolf she's just testing you to see if you're a worthy student. How I got through is by PMing her werewolf related haikus several times a day.

[NeonLightChild]

You...you...BASTARD!

That was supposed to be our little secret!

What part of "in confidence" did you not understand?!

You go spreading it to the world and people are going to start sending YOU some haiku!

UGH :banghead:

[Sinanju]

howling at the moon
I run into the forest
too much absinthe. shit

[Sinanju]

werewolf in real life
why don't I have any friends
no one understands

[Sinanju]

Bella is the best
teen pregnancy is real love
everyone sparkles

[Sinanju]

could have posted once
rebel wolf without a cause
thats just how I roll

[<\Mutt/>]

Oh cool haiku

[NeonLightChild]

At least he's sharing it with someone else now.

Strangely, though, it does give one an odd appreciation for this oft-maligned form of poetry.

[Sinanju]

At least he's sharing it with someone else now.


I tapped into the Strategic Haiku Reserves and sent you a few dozen but it said your mailbox is full :(

[kubuchi]

well i came for help all i got was mostly negativity and hateful comments so goodbye

well arnt u guys just so helpful to each other

[GhostBat]

well arnt u guys just so helpful to each other

We are, actually.

I see you know sarcasm; that will get you far on this site. Sarcasm is Werewolf.com's official language.

[Cahalith]

well arnt u guys just so helpful to each other


This site isn't a site of weres, most of the people on this site don't really even believe in them... I think most of the people on here get tired of people saying they are, and then they can not bring any proof of it.

*shrug*

It seems hostile but I think its due to patients being exhausted over "I am a werewolf help me." When most of the people on here are not and don't believe in it.

[john the baptist]

I was going to say a psychiatrist would be good at teaching the "basics" of being human... But I guess I'm too late. :(

[MorganaFang]

Whoa, guys, whoa.
