Thanks everyone. I have contracted a couple and will be going from there thanks

Thanks everyone for you help. The reason we are now looking at a veterinary behaviour specialist is that we have used a behaviourist/trainer and have had some results. The reason the vet suggested we try this as the next step is that we have tried almost every other path and have now come to this. We have tried a behaviourist, changed to a low protein diet, even tried natural relaxants. And it has not been a case of try it for a couple of weeks and see. She has been like this since a pup and she is now 3 & 1/2. Thanks to those who PM'ed me. Your help was great!!! :D

Thanks for that Shell but a behaviour specialist is differant to a trainer. A behaviour specialist looks for chemical imbalances in the brain not just training thanks

I have spoken to Debbie and yes she will travel out to me but it is just the extra traveling costs involved. I have used a trainer and have had results but we just need a bit more help than they can give I think. Thanks everyone

Thanks everyone. Thanks for your suggestion Cavandra. She is already on a low protein diet and this has helped a little but not a great deal. I have thought about Debbie but she is a long way from me so have been looking for something a little closer. Thanks everyone for your help

Hi Everyone, I was just after some help if possible please. I took my fear agressive dog to the vet for her vax the other night and the vet was talking to me about the benifits of using a behaviour specialist. I was wondering if any one had used one of these before and if they have found they worked in their case. I have been speaking to a few differant specialists and want to be really sure this is the right path for us before we start. Not only is it really expensive but I don't want to put my girl though any stress that she doesn't need to be under. Thanks for your help

Herding training in on again this Saturday starting at 9am..... ETA: Sorry but there will be no training as their will be no instructors! Sorry

I buy my worming tablets in bulk cos I have three dogs also. Websites like www.petnvetdirect.com.au are really good for buying in bulk and they do work out cheaper.

Yes that was what i was after. thanks so much for your help guys.

Thanks for that what what is the differance between the each of them. IE: how does jumping and snooker and gamblers differ from normal agility

Sway thread got me thinking. What do all the differant agility titles mean??? IE: AD SP SPD and so on thanks

Yes, every second Saturday. Next date will be 23/08/08 Why it that??

Fair enough then I will try and update this thread wih details each time we have training to keep everyone up to date

We run it every second weekend so hopefully there will be on you will be able to make it too!!!!

There are still places if anyone is interest!!!! You can train as many dogs as you like for the one fee!!

Thanks everyone for your help. I have been tring to call Karen I think it was. Left a message but no one has called me back yet. Thanks all for you help

So book in early Please PM me if you are interest so I can give you all the details. Thanks and hope to see you there!!!

Thanks for that Kelpiechick I have been looking at the website and tried to call and email the contacts but have had no reply as yet. I was just wondering if anyone knew what they were like and maybe some info not on their website Thanks for your help

I am looking at joining Warragul & District Kennel & Obedience Club so I can do some more training in herding. Has anyone had expirience with this club and what are they like. Do they do training everyweek? How do you go about joining and how much is it to join. Thanks for your help

If you look in the owners manual of a car it will tell you the cars towing capacity. I have a Nissan Pulsar Hatch and tow my 4 berth dog trailer with it no problems at all (prob. 400kg when loaded) My car has a 900kg towing capacity so I am way under. If you have the tow bar fitted by a professional you will have no problems at all.

None of the above. Mine are on Pro Pac Low Fat and doing great.

Sounds like you had a great time. It is always great to learn something new. :D

Pitty it is this weekend, I have something on Saturday but hopefully I will be out to do herding there soon..

We had a great day on Sunday at Geelong too. On Sunday morning we got our final pass and got our CCD title and highest scoring Werribee Member!!!!!! Congrats to everyone on their passes!!!!

Isn't it funny how they seem to forget things are the most important moments!!! Better luck next time!
