Unintended Consequences of Punishment
Posted to: Training & Behavior
I know there are a lot of different definitions of what so called "balanced" training is. For the sake of argument, in this thread I intend it to mean those who use a healthy mix of reward and punishment in training their dogs. I would like to initiate a polite discussion on the unintended...

Mail Order?
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
I have a hard time finding good brands in my current town - I can Evo and CA Natural locally for a decent price, but anything else I'd have to drive 60 miles round trip for and that can get expensive. Does anyone know of a good mail order place with pricing on large bags (30-40lbs) under $45 and...

Pom 3 has been suspended
Posted to: Community Help Center
3 day suspension, she has been emailed as to why. Will take effect as soon as the message gets through the system to do it (that message saying "your changes have been saved, but may take several minutes to take effect" ? Yeah, that LOL. She'll likely be back, but not for 72 hours.

Stuffed Manicotti (No Boiling!)
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
I don't know how many people already know this or do this, but I thought I'd share anyway :D I love Manicotti, but could never figure out how to make it, as pasta involves boiling noodles. Well...how the heck do you stuff a limp noodle without tearing it!? So, I remembered the way my ex's...

Installing a Storm Door
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Has anyone ever done it themselves? I really want one and can see where the frame of an old one was....I measured and it seems to be a pretty standard size. Is it hard to install and will it require much more than some wedging and screwing? I will talk to the people at Home Depot today too but thought...

Do we really want to put an end to puppy mills and BYB?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
So lets discuss how to treat the cause instead of the symptom. How does one really fight puppy mills and BYB? And more importantly, what can the average pet owner ( like me) do to help in the fight? Advocacy is difficult to get involved in if you don't know where to start. There are so many people...

We took Rory to the snow!
Posted to: News & Entertainment
We took Rory up to the snow in Fraiser Park today. I wasn't sure if she'd like it or not, but she loved it. It was hilarious watching her run through in (or sink into it). We made a sledding hill and after watching us do it, she ran up the hill and slid down herself. It was soooo cute! She met...
