laffi

Thanks everybody for your answers. I decided that my woofas and I would love another fun activity to do and so we are starting flyball next week. Can't wait!

I was confused with bridgie_cat's answer because I also thought that you use NRM when the dog does something 'wrong' or rather not right, and therefore I can't C&T. I use it in shaping quite a bit, and just say 'oops' as well

When did you start the Blood Cleanser? Do you see any improvement?

Congrats Tracey and Abigail!

Have you done any shaping training with her (still using the clicker)?

Hey there, You probably do remember us if your memory is really good. We ended up only doing 2 events early in 2007 because CK cracked his elbow and we decided if both couldn't do it we wouldn't go. This year will be different though - little buggers both LOVE frisbee as well. I train over at the flyball fanatics (RSPCA). It's just a little more relaxed than Awesome Pawsome who are brilliant with their training and really competitive, but their training time doesn't really suit my job. It's meant to be fun, but is pretty full on at the moment because the team wants to go well in Canberra (nationals) so we are training 2 nights a week rain, hail or shine - just as well most of the clubs are not training or I'd be going mad! Look forward to seeing you at frisbee this year! Cheers. Tony Thanks heaps Tony. I might consider Flyball Fanatics, since it's about the same distance as the Awesome Pawsome and I think Thursdays night could suit us better :D

Thanks Tony! I think I remember you from BARK Where do you train? I just contacted Brian from Awesome Pawsome and am seriously thinking about starting in Feb. I would like to add another fun activity for my dogs apart from agility and flyball sounds like a lot of fun.

I have 2yo australian shepherd and 1yo golden retriever. They both started agility last year and we are definitely going to continue that

I am contemplating getting into flyball and I would like to hear why so many people love it Is it because dogs really like it? What if my dog is not a ball freak? Should I still consider flyball?

Thank you westiemum!!!! I think I will try EPO as well

check out the health section of this forum, there is A LOT of info about allergies in dogs there

Have you tried other shampoos (like Aloveen or Puppy Plush)? I wonder how it compares to other shampoos for sensitive skin... (I am about to buy one

I agree with Miranda. I would only use these as rewards/treats, never as a main meal.

Laffi started catching the frisbee as well Only a couple of times did she catch it in the air but it's a start. She still loves her tennis balls more so I have to build up the value for the frisbee.

wow camel meat!!!! I will definitely check it out :p

Thank you so much. Where do you find roo in Woolies: deli section or meat section? Do they always have it?

Do a search as it was discussed before. From what I remember raw is digested much faster than dry, so if fed together it can give a tummy upset and/or constipation.

I was also allergic to Laffi when she arrived at 8 weeks. It went away with time and antihistamines. It took 2-3 months for my body to adjust and now I am almost not allergic anymore. I say 'almost' because when my immune system is weak I might sneeze a little after cuddling her.

I couldn't agree more. I also realized that with Laffi, because she only comes when my voice is soft and nice.

Please explain your choices, esp if you picked: #1 and your dogs runs away from you thinking it's a great game or if you picked #4.

Poor Scoota

My guess would be allergies: irritated red skin and therefore licking: red tint to her fur.

Where do you buy the more unusual meats like roo or rabbit? If you buy it from a pet store could you please give their name, esp if they are a chain store. Thank you!
