My GSD loves playing with SWFs. I'm just too mean to get one to join our family.

Anyone who like reading about theories of religion could try some Immanuel Velikovsky. He postulates - that there were physical upheavals of a global character in historical times - that these catastrophes were caused by extraterrestrial agents - that these agents can be identified. Only in his case, the extraterrestrial agents are comets and other planetary bodies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immanuel_Velikovsky

Why did they move the horse in the first place - Brandy was not in any trouble at the foster carer's site. We will always wonder - would Brandy have succumbed to colic if she had not been moved.

Even when you know it is coming, the day itself is filled with darkness that throws a shadow over your days. Remember your happy times together, and you'll find happy memories when you least expect it.

What about Kellyville Ridge - Sheba I think her name is? Merriville Rd, Kellyville Ridge - (02) 9629 2030 Box Hill Vet Clinic 11 Nelson Rd Box Hill NSW 2765 (02) 9679 1749

Mine get a snack, usually a chicken wing, in the morning and their food at night.

Some one posted a lovely photo to show Steve from K9 Force - their border collies all sitting in a semi circle waiting for their food (ToT in action)

please explain what this comment means?

I would for the first couple of nights until you have settled him into a routine, especially the first night when he might still be feeling woozy from his desexing.

Oh a thread with tomorrow's results today - this is exciting.

Two medium for me please

It is hard to know what helps. My GSD hurt his knee, had cruciate repair surgery but will always have an "angry" joint. We've tried most things, more than once. And it still seems to be the weather that makes the most difference. Does any one else find the humidity affects their pet's mobility?

Never had to. - yet. :D Maybe we should have another poll asking if Troy is the best moderator on the internet?

Any hints in this thread? Easy Walk harnesses

Please people give Brooke a little credit for trying to solve her problem in a positive way. She could have just dumped the dog at the pound. Fortunately - and thank goodness - Ben comes from reputable breeders and I'm sure they will be able to assist. How about we focus on the positives here. Brooke has made the call that Ben is not coping and is trying to seek help for him. That's a positive. He comes from reputable breeders who will take care of their own. That's another huge positive. If Ben finishes up in a more suitable situation then that's the best outcome for BEN. Aren't we supposed to be thinking about dogs in this forum?

Hi Brooke, what a horrid situation to be in. May we ask who his breeders are? They might be the best placed to help you.

How did the vet get it off?

OK so for a GSD, a furminator would be better than a coat king. What about an English Setter? I'm guessing you'll say coat king.

What is the difference between Mars Coat King and a Furminator? Are they two competing brands of the same thing?

Hi Nicola, you might want to change the title of your topic so people don't think you are shopping for a new dog on line. Good luck with your shopping. http://www.pricelesspets.com.au/ is the cheapest place I have found to buy my monthly heartworm treatment

I'm actually kicking myself for not giving her my business card so she could contact. I've been going to this park for over a year and it is the first time I've met her. I'm sure I could organise some extra dog-walking for her from the people I know in the area. How about writing to your local paper? Someone might be able to put you in touch with the lady.

Steve couldn't fix me either and all I managed to do was teach my GSD how to pull on a prong. It's nice to know I'm not alone! Did Steve actually work your dog himself and failed to correct the pulling or was it a correspondence lesson that didn't work for you, just interested as I don't believe that a prong used correctly from my experience training GSD's will not correct leash pulling effectively???. There was a comment made earlier in this thread by I think Cosmolo about those of us that are challenged - lets say in the area of co-ordination, and I am definitely one of those. Ah found it - Steve was very good at supporting us, both when we were with him at his facility and remotely. But I just couldn't get it together. I don't believe that anything Steve could have done would have made a difference. He was certainly more than willing to keep working with me. It is about timing, I think. My current theory is that if you consistently correct too late, your dog can't learn.
