Re: Victoria to host weekly live chats here

i adpoted a second toy poodle exactly the wrong way that you cautioned against..she was probably a puppy mill breeder, and was soooo sad and pathetic, i fostered her for a wek, and when she began to respond, begged to keep her. we already had a much older, blind, toy poodle..(we adopted her @age 10,...

Re: Victoria to host weekly live chats here

it was good to see you get a little tough with the dad last night. i had a feeling that he
"talks the talk" but doesn't always follow through..esp when he tried that face holding move on the dog...
you handled your frustration with him pretty well. better than i would have!!!

Re: Episode 201 - The Berry Bunch - Jan 2

i thought you were absolutely right to get tough with the dad..i had a feeling that a great deal of the problem was that he talked a good line, but didn't follow through....we have one old rescue poodle that is 13 yo, and blind, (we rescued her blind at age 10) and she is ok if the schedule gets a l...

i THINK we may have found an answer.. lavender oil..someone (not here) said she uses a spray that has phermones that calms her cats, and that maybe there was a doggie equivelant.. the spray stopped her cats from unrinating on the bed.. didn't get to the doggie store, but tried a small sachet of lave...

rescue dog peeing on my bed

yes, that may be a factor, thanks..she has the appt for spaying in october, maybe the vet can get a good look then... we are managing as best we can, and hoping for the best. with any of our dogs, we are there for the long haul, so somehow we'll make it work..thanks

vicious cocker

oh, boy, i should have never answered this one in the first place i guess.. i NEVER SAID that the way i alpha'd him was a good thing, that it was innapropriate, but that after that, he saw i wasn't afraid, and it seemed to make him more confident of me as a leader. i wasn't looking to add to his dis...

new rescue poodle keeps urinating in our bed

thanks everyone..i hear you guys...part of the problem is that i can't walk this dog..i use a walker, have a LOT of pain, and can only stand for 10-15 minutes, esp since i have to go down 3 steps and a stoop to get out. ruby takes at least 20-30 minutes to "part" with her waste, plus she w...

vicious cocker spaniel

this was an old posting, but have to say, been there, done that..our first pix of assisi when we got him from the pound (which was an AWFUL place) is assisi charging and attacking our friend who was taking his pix. he would listen (somewhat) to my husband, but ignored me, or growled. i have an autoi...
