Dxenion

We use Happy Paws Training Treats. Dry treats, no oily residue, huge variety, no preservatives, all natural. www.happypawstreats.com.au or look for them on Facebook. Tell them Dxenion sent you.

Thanks for referring me to them. I'd be more than happy to buy from them again.

A friend has one - where did you get yours? http://www.petexpertise.com/dog-training-aids/dog-training-pouches-bait-bags/gentle-leader-training-pouch.html From memory Clean Run has the same pouch for a very similar price but their freight is horrendous. Our one from petexpertise cost under $20 postage to Perth.

We use the Premier snap close bags. Easy assess, easy close, belt clip and keychain clasp for backup. Additional separate pockets for phone, keys etc. I've tried a few and always return to the Premier.

Congratulations to all the nominees and winners! A huge well done to Steve and all involved in putting it together.

We had to use it and it worked well for us. We didn't use as much as suggested but the offending tablet came up nice and quick. As others have described, it was a gentle vomit too. http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/223845-vomit-inducing-drug-for-the-house/page__view__findpost__p__5605851

We have it on standby for food allergy reactions. I try to use it for the shortest possible time (<3 days) and haven't noticed any change in water intake or a lethargic response, but they are pretty chilled to start with. One of ours has been taking it on and off for the last 3 1/2 years and he's 4 1/2 now.

We have them because although we are in a residential area, we live across the road from coastal scrub. The neighbour on one side got a visit from a baby tiger snake. The neighbour on the other side had an adult dugoit show up. We've never seen a snake on our property at all despite them being very common around here. In my opinion they've paid for themselves! I have heard some say they're not so effective on brown snakes. The only issue we've had is the plastic cover protecting the the solar panel going opaque but the manufacturer has been quick to send free replacements. We've had ours operating for 3 1/2 years now.

Excellent news!

We have crystallised ginger on standby here. A couple of pieces about 15 mins before we go then a piece every 10 mins or so on sections of road that cause issues. Works a treat for us. If it's anxiety based, would a DAP diffuser work?

Where is the 'like' button when you need it?

Does anyone know if the bottom of the crates sag ie a 40+ kg dog in the giant crate, when using the crate wheels in the link? Also is there an Aussie supplier for the wheels?

Oh I love that kennel!! If you're ever looking to sell ;) come to me first! :D We only keep it so that when the ranger comes to do the permit application inspection, we can say we have one. Mind you, by the time the ranger gets to the kennel, they've already walked past all the other beds which I think paints the picture.

What lovely photos... first one is my fave, those innocent faces blinking out the door :D Innocent

The woman in the OP could have found a better way to express the reason why she wanted to be moved. The OPer stated way back somewhere in this thread that they accepted there may be reasons she acted and spoke the way she did. Having said that, this post has made me rethink about why I dislike kids and on reflection, it's not the kids I dislike, it's the behaviours I generally see from them. I do not want to sit in a plane next to someone who: - is likely to cry or scream because they can't better express themselves. If I hear it for long enough, it will drive me mad enough to yell too. - does not have control of their bodily functions. The smell or sight of human urine or excrement makes my stomach turn. Some people can handle it - I can't. - is likely to vomit without warning. The sound and smell associated with this act makes me want to copy them. - babbles incessantly, has no concept of how rude it is to interrupt, can't sit still and quietly or keep their hands (sticky or otherwise) to themselves. All of the above applies whether the person is 3 months old or 30 years old. So for me it is not a dislike of babies or kids, it is a dislike of the above particular behaviours.

My dogs are not 'made to sleep in crates'. Mine choose their crates over other beds and even ours. Edited to add dogs. Changes the meaning entirely!

I have a 5 litre bottle of Hoss Gloss medicated shampoo (for dogs, horses and cattle) to give away. I'm near Rockingham.

Don't get a German Shedder Shepherd if: you don't like hair in your car, home, bed, food, places the dog has never been.... you like having things on the coffee table (or anything else at that height).

Something else to consider, was the dog on a leash because it was an on leash area? The OP hasn't clarified this. There are so many reasons the dog may have been on leash, just as there are many reasons it may have responded to the presence of the grey as it did.

Petermoore, a number of people have asked but I can't see your answer - did this happen in an off leash area?

I am going to put myself in the shoes of the handler of the other dog - I'd mad as heck at you for not having effective control of your dog in the first place. I'd expect you to pay your own vet bill. I'd also be reporting your dog to the council. I did just ring our council about this out of personal curiosity (I hypothesised that it happened in an off leash area) and they advised that the owner of the leashed dog would not be considered at fault even though the leash broke because your dog was not under effective control. Having said that, I do wish your dog a speedy revovery and have fingers, toes and paws crossed that there are no lasting psychological set backs from this.

They can be a pretty handsome assistance dog too!

He's one of them. The White Swiss Shepherd with the ball in her mouth belongs to another DOLer (name escapes me at the moment though)

Saffioraire, this post should come with a disclaimer not to look if feeling clucky! (mutters to herself, I do not want another working boy... I do not want another working boy....)
