Biggest Influences

• Biggest Influences Xebby Posted : 1/22/2007 3:47:25 PM What is the biggest influence you had on another person#%92s dog? For example I got my parent to stop feeding their dogs Ol Roy, they now feed their overweight dog a weight management food and the other is on much better stuff. So what are some things youv#%92e done or said to other dog owners that really made them change their mind about the way they do things with their dogs.

• jennie_c_d Posted : 1/22/2007 3:55:54 PM Lots of food changes. People ask all the time what they can do to help with itching or coat growth. A guy asked me the other day how to give his weight pulling dogs an edge, and I told him to feed raw. He'd already been considering it, and asked a few questions, then headed out to "find a slaughterhouse". I love seeing the difference in dogs, after they're on better foods! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Bloodhound Posted : 1/22/2007 4:01:19 PM my neighbour got a german shepherd pup and never socialized it or trained it. It stayed in a pen all the time. By two years old it was biting and attacking. My neighbour had decided they were going to put him down. I couldnt bear to hear that considering it wasnt the dogs fault. He always had a liking for me so i decided to spend some time with him. I took him for his first walk with a halti. It was extremely difficult because he would go nuts if a human was close by or another dog. But i did it everyday. Eventually i taught him to heel and i slowly started to socialize him. Now he is a whole new dog. He has become a part of their family. A part of me is angry that they never took care of him but at least i did help the dog out. Thats all that matters 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• gradyupmybutt Posted : 1/22/2007 4:03:18 PM Fostering one dog.  Some of you know about my one foster, Molly.   I hope I influenced her life for the better.  In the 10 short days I had her I had the pleasure of seeing her true potential.  I'm pretty sure I had an impact on her self confidence.  I could almost hear her saying when I first got her "I can't do it".  After even a few days that changed to "I think I can do it, especially if it makes you happy, mom."  I think I gave her a chance @ a much better home than her previous one. The other influence I've had is on one friend who always gave her dogs smoked bones.  Now she's giving her girl raw bones. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
