    Collar or harness?

    And they absolutely DO hurt them! Why do you think they work? And why do dogs yelp when corrected by them? Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk

    Collar or harness?

    Only if you use pain to train. My dogs now, are trained using force free methods. I don't need to hurt my dogs for them to behave. They do it because they like to, it's fun! I used to say the same. And had used them to successfully train several dogs. Until Oliver. The pinch collar...

    New dog dilemma

    You know, a force-free trainer might just be able to help your dog. Don't give up on him :) Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk

    New dog dilemma

    Sorry... I hate that man. I had to go and read this again because all I could take in the first time was Cesar lol. I'm assuming your dog that he "helped" is no better? Anyway, as to your question, your dog could get used to the new dog, but possibly not, and with the issues you already...

    Collar or harness?

    Yes, for good reason, in my opinion. I wish they were illegal everywhere. Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk

    Collar or harness?

    They are just small prong collars. I would never use one on my dogs. I don't train using pain. My dogs wear harnesses, except Mouse, as I can't find a harness that uses brass fittings. Boo wears a vest style and Oliver wears a freedom harness (front and back clip). Sent from my SGH-I727R...

    Flea Prevention

    I was just joking around. It's something I get to brag about, living here :) not much else to brag about, except maybe that we have no rats here, either lol. Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk

    My dogs digest them perfectly fine, hundreds of thousands of raw feeders's dogs digest them fine. And in a prey model raw diet, they must have them. Premade raw diets ground bone in, but then you lose the benefit for the teeth. Your dogs likely aren't digesting them because they aren't...

    Flea Prevention

    I use the "I live in Central Alberta" kind of Flea Prevention. It works so well that I have never seen a flea in my whole life. Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk

    Well then the hundreds of thousands of raw feeders are all wrong then. And yes, they do need to eat bones. there are alot of minerals and viramins in bones that are necessary. A proper raw diet is 80% muscle meat, 10% edible bone, 10% secreting organ (5%of which should be liver) edible...

    Best dog food

    Dogs can eat chicken bones just fine, as long as they're raw. Infact, edible bones such as chicken bones and rib bones are best. Weight bearing bones break teeth and they don't get the benefit of nutrients in the bone, if they can't eat them. Cooked chicken bones (or any cooked bones) are...

    Hill's B/D

    I hate Hills with a passion. They make me sick. Using the cheapest garbage ingredients they can get, mixing it with even cheaper garbage Chinese ingredients, put a fancy price tag on it, then snow the public, and get rich. Also, this...

    I wouldn't feed Purina. There are so many reasons I would not feed it, I just won't get into it. But here's a quick link http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/cancer-causing-aflatoxins-found-in-dog-foods/ As to raw, any age is appropriate. I start mine as soon as I get them. But keep in...

    Why I haven't been around much

    That's not me lol I'm taking the pic :) I've always adored poodles. I raised a litter of St. Poodles 9 years ago and kept them in show coats. This dog I've been grooming and such for awhile... here she is in Puppy clip last fall And here's me with her after I practiced a spray-up on her...

    Mini or standard?

    We don't have tweenies here either. Anything over 11lbs is a standard. Mouse fluctuates between Mini and Standard lol she goes between 10.5lbs and 11.5lbs Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk

    A gimmick so they can charge and arm and a leg for it. There is absolutely no difference between it and the others. And there's no way in heck I'd pay that kind of money for the extremely poor quality of ingredients that both Hills and Royal Canin have. They charge as much or more for their...

    How long to see grass?

    Snow here still. We got 5" on Good Friday. Mostly gone now. Made me laugh yesterday. We were all hanging out outside in t-shirst and shorts and bare feet, exclaiming how nice and warm it is... found out later it was all of 12ºC (approx 55ºF) lol Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk
