Cruel? Being hunted by dingoes is a gentle death compared to what my Molly went through,believe me. As for muzzles, we have a variety, as we bought some,some were given to us,and some are fixer- uppers Good quality plastic greyhound/basket muzzles, or the squarer wire cage working dog muzzles are what the majority are

The other week I lost my heart dog Molly to a bait ..transferred by a bird the working dogs are muzzled if they are taken to properties who bait . Aerial baiting , luckily is not done here . Baits done by Gov't & a lot of property owners are counted, buried, and are at marked locations .unused baits are burned . Molly's death was caused by a neighbour who just threw baits around he lost one of his own dogs , so maybe he'll try & think next time. 1080 lasts for weeks , AFAIK. pray for heavy rain ..that will disperse and break down the 1080.

yes! Our clippers are almost the same - haven't the yellow grip ..ours are blue . they are wonderful. Nails don't wear down much on the non-workers here ..soft sand mostly ...

Mary - chewing the leather phone neck pouch!!

yes... he is getting his nails done tomorrow!! ...anyhow ...

Thanks,Possum Corner..I had no idea

also didnt want something too large The size depends on the dog's size ..it needs to be large enough for a dog to stand on ..turn around /feel comfortable on .

Yes, call the vet make sure you describe his behaviour ..is he eating /wanting to play ?Drinking? Does he pee happily out in the yard ? is anything different ? Are you taking him to toilet on a lead ? Is he eating anything different ?

@teekay Love the footprints in the sand ... :D

@Canisbellum WOW!!

Smart boy

One of the most favoured toys of all animals who have lived indoors ..from piglets/cats/pups/dogs is a rubber? babies ball, with the surface consisted of raised letters It used to be a dark pink .. but has faded heaps .. I bought it for Mitchell, when we lived in the City ... so guess late 1980's ? It's still rolling around somewhere .. if I find it I'll take a photo ( good excuse to clean under the couch )

T .. I think you work somewhere near, or in, heaven!!

*melts* ............ fantastic images yet again ........................

yayyy

Training/educating you pup/dog . Hmmm It is all about COMMUNICATION between YOU and your DOG It's a wonderful way of you each getting to understand each other - and it's this understanding/honest communication which makes for an 'obedient' and happy dog YOU learn how/why dog is doing X&Y ..and YOU learn how to tell/show her what YOU want Your trainer was , IMO doing the sensible thing Most dog 'trainers' show owners how to do it have a read here - and I am so glad you've asked on here about boarding/training . http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/dog-training-whatever-works/ I would also agree with contacting K9 pro . here is a link to a blog about "LIFE SKILS" CLICK HERE a small excerpt - Life Skill Lessons are a combination of many things, from learning how to be calm around other dogs and people, to strolling along without pulling on the leash, and everything in between. The first things Steve will do is discuss with you what problems your having, what behaviours your dog is or refuses to display and from there he can begin to assess the dogs temperament. No two people are the same and this goes the same for dogs, we don’t have a one size fits all training program, our solutions are tailored to your needs. The session may include some behaviour modification, an adjustment to the dogs expectations, some remedial training and or teaching of new skills. Rewarding a dog (positive reinforcement) increases the dogs desire to repeat the behaviour, most people know this but few can get the relationship working on this premise alone. Steve has developed loads of cool, fun programs and games that can help you reconnect with your dog and get training moving forwards. Life Skills may be best described as “teaching your dog how to live in your world”.
