honest kitchen
Has anyone tried any of the honest kitchen dehyrated foods? The guy @ the dog bakery was telling me about a new called Keen, that is $50 for 10 lbs, which makes 40 lbs of food. He said he thought it was really cheap per lb, and that i should try it. here

$5 Canidae October Coupon
I jus t got an email from Canidae (for being a subscriber to its website) about requesting $5 canidae coupon. Although I haven't purchased Canidae since the formula change, it is good to know what's going on by being a subscriber. For those who (still) feed Canidae (and are not subscribers),...

Working BC Trial - World Champion
Aled Owen and this year's newly crowned World Champion. Normal trial run - this is the BC "standard" - fetching sheep from about 500 yards away, pushing them another 250 yards through a 9 minute course, then doing a couple of "up close" tasks. [url]http://video.google.com/videoplay...

Whistle for a Cure NC - Ted's First Trial
The Whistle for a Cure trial was an awesome success. The last figure I hear we had raised close to $1800 for our friend's team sponsorship for the Gail Parkins (sp) Memorial Walk for Ovarian Cancer research. I was so tickled that this was Ted's first real trial run ever, and then on top of that...

JHD trial results
We attempted the first leg of the JHD on friday. The first leg has a 10 min time limit and you have to go through 3 "gates" plus a re-pen. I have been pushing Neiko and in practice we could do all the requirements. However, during the trial everything fell apart. He broke his down/stay to start...

Anyone have any suggestions on teaching a clicker class?
I'm currently teaching a clicker class for the animal clinic I work at. It is my first clicker class, but not my first obedience class to teach (though I've only taught one before this one). It's going quite well, except for a few people. They just don't seem to get the idea of the clicker...

Cow Hooves
Anybody give these to their dog? My Dad used to give them to our first Lab- she loved them. Today, I went to pick up some dog food for Apollo, and he was sniffing around the bins of bones, rawhides, and cow hooves. He was especially interested in the cow hooves so I got him one (first time). He's...

Small Brag for the Tedlet (herding)
We survived our first herding trial together this weekend. Well, Ted's first, I mean - it's definitely not my first bar-becue though it's been years since I had a dog to run. We won our class! There's no HIT in USBCHA-style trials so that's as big a brag as one can get for a trial...

Healthwise?
One more bag of canidae to go! It's about time to get a new bag to start mixing. I was talking to the owner of our dog bakery, and he said he was getting in healthwise, and he thought it was a great food. He said it was pretty comprable to canidae, and is only $38 for 40#. I haven't heard much...

A brag!

Practice trial, Light sheep vs. heavy sheep, and Humiliation
What a difference sheep can make. I normally train at a farm with pretty heavy sheep. They stick to me like glue for the most part and are pretty slow moving. Neiko does really well with them. He works pretty calmly, no barking, will listen to my commands and such. However, we have only been doing the...
