  1. Ditto to what you have said, mate! I was paying more than $120 for the heartworm vaccination and found that this is extremely expensive as compared to buying the heartworm tablets. However I was hoping to kill two birds with one stone by thinking of getting a tablet that does both heartworm and the other worms, but I just had a look at some of the heartwormers online, it seems that they don't have a heartwormer plus allwormer. I still have to get one that does tapeworm as well Which are the better heartwormer? I notice the price range is pretty wide and I don't want to get one because it's in the lower price range but it's not good.
  2. Hi all, I have going to the vet for my girl's annual heartworming vaccination and saw that there are numerous types of heart worming tablets in the market which I am thinking of giving a try. Could someone give me a recommendation as to which are the better ones? I also saw that there are some heartworm tablets which also are the allrounder wormer. Are they any good as compared to buying a separate heart wormer and an allrounder wormer tablet? Thanks
  3. On the southside you have 4 options that I know of. BAD (Brisbane Agility Dog Club) trains at Carina on a Wednesday night. They cater for dogs from 11 months old and up so you really need a good recall and a bit of focus on your dog before you begin there. The beginners course is about a little more expensive (don't remember, but it wasn't that bad), but ongoing training once you've done that is $5 a night. They are really good and have helped me with my girl. Great bunch of people. ADCQ (Agility Dog Club of Queensland) train at Tivoli on a Sunday night. They cater to dogs from 8 weeks and up. Their program is really good in that they start with the basics and teach all the obedience etc you need for a good AGILITY dog (ie: not classic/trial obedience, but the agility tools you need). The basic courses are about $40 to $50 for six weeks depending on what level you are at and then ongoing training is $4 a night I think. I run my younger boy here and then my girl in the class after. Again, great bunch of people really dedicated to those who are dedicated to their dogs. Both these clubs are ADAA affiliated and I can't recommend either of these two clubs highly enough. The other two options I have heard good things about, but have not trained at so can't really comment. One group train at the Mt Gravatt Show Grounds on a Thursday night and the other is attached to the Redlands Dog Obedience Club. One other more expensive, but much more relaxed option is the Dog Sport classes at RSPCA. Great bunch of people and not really into trialling so the training is heaps of fun and lots of laughs, but not as hard core as the other clubs. (I play flyball with a couple of the people from there.) Works out to about $15 a lesson. Thank you so much! I might have to go for the ADCQ training. I am still trying to teach my dog the basic obedience despite sending her for a week's training with a dog obedience trainer Sorry for being a pain, whereabouts is Tivoli? I am really excited to start her back from basics again
  4. Hi, I am really new to the Agility training and was recommended by the vet nurse where I took my border collie for her checkup to enrol my dog for agility. I am wondering if there is any place located in the south that offers this (I am staying in the Algester area)? In addition, is the agility course expensive? Thanks
