Re: Work to eat toys are a no go
You can't expect a dog to gain weight on boiled meat and rice. [...] I mean you could just feed extra rice and boiled meat but the nutrients just aren't there compared to a designed diet. Why not? If a person eats much white rice, they're going to gain weight. Fat maybe, but still weight. Are you j...

Re: Stinky treats
You know, my dog's regularly get steak, or whatever leftover meats as treats. Ruca is also fed raw. As such, she REALLY works for kibble, because it's such a rarity. Maybe you could try simple, instead of fancy.
Hope you have an answer soon for her ACL/CCL/unkown leg business.

We have the Sense-ation harnesses and like them much more than the Easy-Walk one. What do you mean shafting?

Re: Tully at the Chinese medicine vet
Oh my Tully! I've dealt with adrenal gland cancer, it's removal and later reappearance as Addison's-like symptoms. I wish I had some insight or suggestion for you but I don't. I'm just posting to let you know we're thinking of Tully, and you.

Re: Tess spayed
Dear Tess, if you were a drama queen, I'm sure your mum would pick you up and off the bed. But no, you have to be 'back to yourself' which means you can't be trusted not to jump about. That'll teach you to feel good.

Re: Unexpected puppies
And this page has lots of information on raising socially healthy puppies. Certain kinds of socialization and handling must begin quite early-- http://jerrier.tripod.com/Temperament.html I think the early socialization section of that site is decent, but there's a lot of bunk about alpha / dominanc...

Re: Conditioned Emotional Response (CER) for DA
I have been reading a few of Jean Donaldson's book lately and she talks about the CER quite a lot. I've read " Mine! " (about resource guarding) and " Dogs are from Neptune " (In 41 essays, Jean highlights the common and frequently wrong-headed notions people have about why dogs ...

Re: TEXAS STATEWIDE
These people want some justice.

Re: clicker training?
maybe take him to a socializing event at a rescue center or anywhere i can find that run those types of events. I'd like to add in here, its generally a bad idea to let John Q. Public help out with anything like this. Socializing a puppy that shows the correct temperament, yea great. A dog that is ...

Re: Caramel vs. Door
A hook will not stop a dog who has learned to turn a handle. Growing up I had a not-so-bright and not-used-to-learning/training bulldog who would undo the hooks in the house no problem. How old is your son? How tall is he? Why don't you want to crate train? Seems like the simplest solution to me. Th...

Re: Im frustrated with Brie and Upset
Crate and rotate will be a pain in the ass but I will do it if need be. Yes it is a PITA, but when people are saying keep them separate "for a while," I'm assuming C&R is what they mean. Give them at least a week for the emotions to calm down. Sounds like things are going south, fast....

Re: Veronica & her Nina Ottosson puzzle
I love it! Did that come from the shop with those massive bully sticks? I thought we saw some there. Tonight I tried to desensitize Ruca to a cone that she has to wear for a bit, by C&T for getting closer & touching etc. I placed the cone all put together, neck-opening up on the floor, with ...

Re: for sale: drag sled and practice pull cart
Whereabouts in NJ are you?
My parents still go down to Staten Island from time to time, and Louie's brother has a truck route but I'm not sure if he does any in Jersey.

Re: Thank you Rossignol!
Tell my, why would you use this style clip or something else? I've seen your equipment made with these clips but I don't know what the advantage is. I know Herm Springer is German made, good quality stuff.
