Anyhoo, I feed an all natural diet to my dogs and cats, and am like some on these boards .... I want what goes into my animals to be fit for my consumption, not dangerous to my health. Therefore, I feed all natural dehydrated dog food made from 100% human grade ingredients with no fillers (wheat, co...

Hi Leigh, congrats on feeding your dog a healthy all natural diet. Kibble is terrible for our 4 legged friends. Not only does it have proven carcinogens in it, they also have humectants, which is a chemical used to retain moisture, anti caking agents, bone meal, which is no longer used in kibble ove...

I order Honest Kitchen from leerburg.com, they have the fairest prices on shipping and once you register they also have free shipping specials every once in a while, even on the food, which is great!! So when they offer free shipping I usually order several boxes. A boxer shouldn't have any problems...

I personally feed my dogs an all natural raw diet with a dehydrated mix, from Honest Kitchen, that provides the vitamins and minerals and other nutrients they need. You may want to try it. After reasearching what is actually in kibble food, I am not a bit suprised if a dog doesn't want to eat it. It...

I am a firm believer in the old saying "you are what you eat," and this even goes for our four legged friends. After having obese dogs and all of my many dogs over the years dying from cancer, and other 'people' diseases I finally decided to open my eyes and do research on dog foods and di...

Oh sorry, forgot to address one important issue ... taking your puppy to meet other dogs. We DO NOT allow strange dogs to interact with our dogs. The concept of them needing "friends" is balderdash. Your dog is a pack animal, and you are his pack. When you introduce him to another dog you ...

All I can say is WOW. First off the old yank and crank style of training went out years ago at least more than a decade by now, so anyone still doing this is shameful and will not have a happy dog that fully understands the commands he's given. Secondly to have this in a park with TONS of distractio...

I watched his videos in the link you posted. To me he seems like an old school trainer, or the old yank and crank. The martingale or what we call the dominant dog collar is not a training collar. We ONLY use those if we are dealing with a highly dominant handler aggressive dog, and they are used as ...

Hooray for you, although too bad you didn't work there for a day and get his member list to warn them of the potential abuse there. Sounds like he's the old fashioned yank and crank type trainer. Even I was a victim of this old school training, but every good trainer learns to grow when times change...

With a dog that comes with alot of baggage as yours has, the best place to start is to build his confidence and bond with you is through marker or clicker training. This is a reward based training with NO CORRECTIONS and it gets your dog thinking on his own and builds his confidence. I personally do...

SORRY dont know why it posted so many times!!! Still new at this site I guess ... lol.

Hi, First off, you have a pack, and pack order will play immensely in how your dogs behave and even interact with you. It is important to establish pack structure with your dogs even if they are small, they still have and need a pecking order. And with the little skirmishes that happen or mini fight...

I am a firm believer in establishing pack structure with our four legged friends. Although it is a little tougher with agressive dogs, it can be done. One has to remember that dogs are extemely in tune to our body language and can "read" us better than we can read ourselves, like elevated ...
