Re: high protien= more reactive, hyper, aggressive dogs?

thats brill im glad you've found something that works! i read the back of the salmon and potato wainrights, it has 10% barley in it so that one might not be a great shout. we had to do try so many different foods when we got len, its so annoying trying to isolate things!

Re: The point in clicker training?

i love clicker training i used to be so sceptical though. you use it to mark the exact behaviour that you want at the exact moment that it happens. once the dog knows what the click means, you can use them for everything. whats great is that you can 'capture' a behaviour that you want, say if they l...

Re: Pooing in the house!

agree deffo would steer clear of the tinned food and mixer, tinned food normally has 4% meat derivatives and lots of other stuff thats not good, also agree with the feeding twice a day instead. I would go for burns, arden grange or orijin, personally i feed burns and swear by it. also you could try ...

Re: Shock Collar

the problem is, shock collars work. Of course they do, your putting your dog in pain! If you whipped a child, im sure it wouldnt make the same mistake agian, however how is that relationship then affected? And when you have someone who doesnt car about the welfare of their dog, how their dog feels e...

Re: Speaking of Protein...

orijiin contains all of the 'right sort' of protein even though the protein level is higher than most other foods. there is no way I'd feed mine the generic dog food. However I am a die hard burns/arden grange fan, and i strongly believe it is the best i can feed him. I wish I could feed him raw, bu...
