I agree with everyone thinking our pets are being over vaccinated. When my dog was a puppy the vet wouldn't give his rabies shot in the same visit as his parvo/distemper shot. She said she felt it was too much for a puppies system. I don't use flea or tick preventative and have only found a flea...

Answer: Never! We live in a society that doesn't accept responsibility. I heard a good example yesterday that can relate. When parents see a tv program they think is inappropriate instead of teaching their child not to watch that program they want it banned. It's always someone elses fault.

Julie, of Training by Julie, is good. I think she is the one who teaches the classes at the humane society. That is who I went to for my pup.

I agree with those who said Julie. I took my pup to her classes. She is laid back and uses positive training methods. I've heard Applejacks uses harsh and forcful training methods. Although I have no experience. Some training places don't allow you to be involved or even see you dog while it's...

To me it sounds like the retriever should have been in the large dog side. And I don't think the lady over reacted. Everyone has different ideas of what is too rough. I have an overly energetic large puppy. I am very cautious when he is playing with smaller big dogs until the owner lets me...

I go to white plains on a regular basis. The no pits rule is not enforced. As long as your dog doesn't cause problems you'll be fine. I hate the rep pits get. I see plenty of good pits. I also see plenty of other dogs causing problems. It is difficult at a park because each owner has his/her own...

It's an unfortunate truth that there a lots of "sick" people in the world. Animal abusers are on the same level of child molesters and those who rape or beat the elderly. I always feel bad for all the animals I see or hear about in abusive situations. It makes me feel good I and many others are...

My vet suggested this when I asked about supplements. One of the main ingredients is liver and it is a powder so you shouldn't have a problem with your dogs not eating it.

Any time I have heard a vet or trainer talk about food they suggest putting the food down for a set time, say 15 mins. If the dog doesn't eat in that time pick it up until the next feeding time. You could add something simple like yogurt, fish oil, supplements. It doesn't take much time to add...

I'm interested in peoples views on dog parks. I hear lots of positive and negative from different people; vets, trainers, etc.

I'm done with you. Your not worth any more of my time.

Just like it's your opinion those of us who disagree is our opinion. It is uncalled for to call us idiots, jackasses and dumbasses. Name calling is way out of line. Being in a service related job you should be more professional.

First off I'd like to say I'm sorry about the dog. Unfortunately accidents do happen. Who's to say how they got loose. It wasn't like the OP always sees them running loose. Maybe someone working on the house let the dogs get out. When I was a teen we took my grandmother's dog because she...

I second this one. I took my pup to her class. She's good.

Who's the one doing the lecturing now. Where do you feel I was lecturing YOU? I made a brief comment about how I feel. I stated my OPINION! And for the record I don't think any alterations that us humans do to ourselfs is good either. What are we other than ANIMALS? And the nervous system is...
