We need help
Posted to: Health & Grooming
Hi folks. *sigh* This is gonna be a long one again. The last time I posted I was writing about our dog, Lady, and her severe thunderstorm phobia. I mentioned how we'd tried basically every "natural" remedy, tried desensitization, and that we even got a prescription for a sedative from our...

Where do I start?
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Some of you may have heard me talk about Fritz before (my aunt's Yorkie). Well, my aunt got another puppy (a female Yorkie named Hazel), and they are just bad. She and my mom have been talking, and they agreed to let me keep Fritz for several weeks to train him. If that goes well, I can train Hazel...

Opinions please- byNature kibble
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
Okay, I'm REALLY, extremely impressed with byNature Organic canned so I'm thinking about trying the kibble. I'd like to get everyone's opinions. For a little background, one thing that Gingerbread is extremely allergic to is brewer's yeast. So here are the ingredients in the food...

Tennessee Lady Vols -- 2007 National Champs
Posted to: News & Entertainment
It's over a week old now, but I've been away. In case anyone missed it, Tennessee claimed their seventh national title last Tuesday night, beating Rutgers in the title game. Candace Parker is truly amazing. I watched her play against Stanford earlier in the year, and she dunked. It was great...

What to do - encountering an off-leash dog
Posted to: Training & Behavior
We had a small incident yesterday and I'm wondering if I reacted in the best way. I was walking Mac, my lab mix, in my neighborhood. Mac has some fear issues and has gotten into some fights with one of our other dogs in the past (they are now kept separated). He is normally fine on walks; he ignores...

A Brag for Rose!
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Rose is a major velcro dog. She usually freaks out if someone tries to walk her away from me. Well, today, I took her to my training class and had her tied, but she did not want to sit still. So, a coworker/friend came in off the clock and I asked if he wanted to walk her around. She was awesome! No...

Mastering the Walk Clicker Style
Posted to: Training & Behavior
For those who would like to have a dog that walks in position next to them, I would like to suggest the following links. Rather than feel that you have to use a choke collar, or "insist" that your dog follow you, why not train him to do so willingly? This takes some effort, but well worth it. http:...

hunger vomiting?
Posted to: Health & Grooming
Occassionally my cocker spaniel will vomit early in the morning, before we feed her. This isn't a new thing and it doesn't happen often, maybe once a month. I've heard that this happens because she's hungry, although i'm not sure who i've heard that from. Does anyone have any...

Cujo STILL sick and problems with the vet
Posted to: Health & Grooming
Cujo is still having problems with his tonsils and his vet is out of town. I had to play phone tag for 4 days with her fill in then I gave up and went in so I couldn't be ignored. The Baytril again helped slightly but didn't "cure" the problem. I explained to the fill in about what...
