  1. Most headcollars work the same .. it is the pressure on top of the muzzle which stops a dog stretching his neck/head and forging ahead ...also pressure on the neck immediately behind the skull . In essence - the handler can have a hold of the dog's head in a firm grip - which can definitely make a dog submit and settle ... i just wasn't sure of the engineering behind this one :)
  2. I just hope he is allowed to have Brooklyn back with him
  3. maybe this will help ? LINK to PODCAST
  4. if you can visibly count all her ribs , and see her spine - she needs help . if she has a waistline, is shiny and active - that's GREAT :) Can you post a photo on here , maybe ?
  5. damned addiction ..... sitting up playing with images....
  6. That gadget looks as tho it still exerts pressure on the muzzle ... Is there video of it being use anywhere ? I don't really understand the mechanics of it at this stage ...
  7. Lucky- Dog .. the stress comes later in life - puppy hood is GOOD :D ;)
  8. I rarely pop in here ..but am SO glad I did today :) that little Betty is just gorgeous ... she was meant for your Aunt :) She does look as if she is part griffon ;) I bet your Aunt will make new friends with such an attractive co-pilot .
  9. there was an earlier thread on this . General consensus was, from memory , that it is more comfortable and less hassle to just leave the socket empty ... If he has both removed - perhaps j ust get him used to wearing a very trendy pair of cute doggles, or a halo when you're out & about :) perfect!!
  10. I love seeing her dogs in amongst it all .., and yes, they do provide a very sweet service .
  11. a few more ... Jeff, Miss Molly , Neddles & Merle the Girl
  12. CLICK HERE for video the lovely lady whose business this is - , when she dies is 'taking all my urns with me ........ going to the wooden gates which say 'pets welcome' "
  13. some of today's shots . Now, young fella , we need to talk . "WAKE UP, Jeff" I have my eye on you ... Sleep, under the toy tree ...
  14. What a gorgeous face :) Bet he looked amazing as a baby :)
  15. R I P old man .... your human will hold you next to her heart always now ..... So sorry, sarsaparilla - be kind to YOU now ...
  16. Instinct is what makes predators kill - simple . it is a natural behaviour . Most people have forgotten that dogs/cats are PREDATORS . It is up the human owners to manage situations as best they can if they do not want to see their pets kill things . Cats and dogs need to have behaviour modified/controlled by keeping enclosed etc . I applaud Scottie on his recall :) :) that is a great effort..and IS certainly to be proud of.
  17. It's what dogs do every now & then ... and I'm glad he made you proud with his recall :D
