Mushroom sniffing pets
    #18959253 - 10/10/13 12:47 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Do any of you have an animal companion you take hunting with you? If so do they ever spot out finds for you?
My cat seems to have taken a liking to hen of the woods, she runs up and has to sniff and see whats going on.
Maybe I can get her to sniff them out for me? I read about truffle hunting pigs, dogs, bears, and manbearpigs so maybe my kitty would party?

I used to have a beagle that would find cubes for me, but she died a while ago. More recently I had a Husky/Aussie Shepperd mix that would find money. That was freakin' awesome. We'd be walking down the sidewalk and he'd jump up on my leg and drop whatever bill he'd found in my hand. picked up a couple $100's this way.

That's awesome! Would your beagle bark at cubes or something or just hang out by them?

Would you give them treats when they would find a patch or some money?

I wish I had a cool pet, mines just lazy and fat.:sad:

I believe that constitutes beastiality Joie.

Your cat is awesome! I'm jealous
I really want to try taking mine with me but she has been an indoor kitty for around a year now. I don't want her thinking she gets free roam outside. As of now she will sit at the door if it's open but has never gone outside, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

She will go as far as I will go... as long as there aren't people or other critters to scare her... cars she is not fond of either, thankfully.

My beagle would bark shortly, point like this:

then lay down next to them. She could differentiate between cubes and non-actives and wouldn't mess around with the poo either.

I'd hook 'em up nice when they did either of these things. First thing I did when my mutt brought me money was buy him something if I didn't have something to give him immediately. Many dogs can be trained to hunt for specific odors, Hounds like beagles are better than most and can differentiate between minute differences in odor. I wouldn't know if non-hounds would be able to hunt actives or just mushrooms in general, but I'd bet some species could, especially if they're an intelligent breed like Jack Russel Terriers and Shepherds.

It's best to start training them when they're puppies, right after you teach them reward-for-behavior motivational techniques. When they're really little, they're attention junkies and most of 'em really enjoy the interaction (and the rewards.)

What a great kitty, nice that she has the sense to stay away from cars too.  All my experience with cats that follow me too far have been the "special" ones... you know, the ones that try to catch the cars :facepalm:

Any experience I've had training cats, other than to deal with their own excrement, has lead to failure. I've also been witness to cats lapping up mushroom tea (by accident) and their transition into a less dependent, more sentient personality after the fact. They tend to generate stronger attractions/repulsions to personalities. A wild situation (not licking up the tea they were able to access by knocking a glass gallon jug off [the counter and on to] the linoleum) would create a natural selection situation that I'd be OK with, but I would think that cats who would choose to scent-tag mushrooms over the critters that roam around them would leave a meme-generating site based around the idea speechless.

lol.... I know the "Special" ones.

This one is super attached to me, she was from an abandoned litter that ended up in a forest at a music event with a couple who had found them all, she was the runt that no one picked, roommates brought her home to me, I've had her since she was 3 days old...

Had to teach her instincts that her mother would have taught her... something most people don't do with cats that weren't raised by a cat parent.. Particularly in regards to hunting and eating their 'Gifts' and 'toys', instead of just playing with them until they get hurt or have heart attacks :frown:

Shes better about it now, but she has also developed a preference.. she only likes to eat young gophers.. she wont eat anything else now... so instead she brings all her 'Gifts' of mice, moles and large gophers in to play, where she releases them so they can hide to make things more interesting.... and then I have to catch them all.. the occasional bird gets brought in too... trying to train that out of her... rewards for dead rodents only... she gets the silent treatment and put outside if she brings in birds.

Hopefully that doesn't offend anyone, i know there are a lot of animal lovers that also love rodents.. i love them too, cute lil' field mice have got to be my favorite.. but a cat has got to be a cat...

However, point I was making was that this leads me to believe that it is entirely possible to train a cat from very early age via the reward system... not as easily as a dog, but I think its possible with the proper conditioning... I had meant to teach her to be okay with riding in my pack while I bike... never really got around to it in time..... I had a pair of kittens before that loved to go for bike rides, but I didn't keep it up...

Someday, I will have a dog/cat mushroom hunting team.. with a messenger bird to come give me word. :grin:

That would be amazing...
