Mason_Gibbs

I want todo a beach trip down to Kwinana never been down there but it's a long drive probably 1,5 hrs or so for us

I let the vet nurses do my black boy they don't charge me

Unfortunately many many people are rude and arrogant lately - see it in retail day in day out

Supplements help but a dog like mine with real allergies wouldn't be "cured" by the coconut oil, dermatologists are recommending evening primrose oil. Best thing I did or mine is desensitization therapy. ETA the desensitization was started after full allergy tests

Gibbs used to do that, he has eventually stopped now, I clicked and treated when he was walking nicely

There isnt much u can do, my last 2 dogs were terrified of storms, Mason wasnt too scared as a younger dog but now at nearly 3 ge is very scared. Gibbs isnt scared atm but maybe when he gets older he will be

In retrospect, my puppy is now 11.5 months old and I wish that I had taken the approach that LMSW is taking - neutralisation of distractions and focus on me. If I had done this, I'd have less problem barking (at every leaf, when I move a wheelbarrow in the yard, people that walk past our back fence - which is open) and other issues such as racing off to meet strangers because she thinks there is more value there, that I'm now working through with a behaviourist. Yes it is good for puppies to have socialisation - LMSW's GSD pup has met my Jap Spitz under controlled conditions and her terms - he doesn't have no interaction with other dogs, just on her terms (which is fair enough IMO) My dog will always focus on me but when he was a pup I let people approach him, he has no fears or hang ups, loves all dogs and people. I can have him anywhere with anything going on. ETA there will always be people out there who are ignorant, it's not really ther fault if they don't know any better, it's our job to educate them I guess

Hope he is found soon!

I ordered some stuff off Pets1, wanted to order off Clean Run but stuff wont be here in time now

Mason hasnt actially worked well at night.... Think he does better in the day

It was a great night - hopefully its a sign of how well they will all do in 2012 - great bunch of dogs and people

I think the more people your pup gets to meet the better IMO

It was a great night for everybody I would have loved some better heeling but hey Mason is my guinea pig and maybe there is something I'm nt training to prepare him well enough for the ring:) great work from everybody else though:)

Everyone dd so well at the trial tonight

I got mine

Ahh that's not too far for me but at the moment working I retail ver Xmas I don't even have time to walk my own dogs...

I'd say chocolate is the craze these days. And black and yellows in popularity appear to be evenly split! (Yellows are bestest, though!!) ;) I'm crossing over to the light side, my yellow boy is so handsome

OMG look at Gibbs he is Mr Gibbs now not a master Gibbs. well done Emery, it was SOOOO HOT in Bunbury it was very uncomfy1 I know he is soo huge! He has had bad breath the last few das, wonder if he is still teething...

Yup no tree in our house too much temptation for mr fibbs...

I skipped Clean Run this Chrissy , my dogs have 2 cupboards of toys

I would have hesitated to strap my valuables to Gabby, she was psycho even people who handled dogs were afraid of her, she was fine with our family though, wish she was still around though...

Nope. They don't seem scared of dogs.... But on the other hand if I had a big scary dog I would be strapping my mobile and wallet to my dogs stomach, see how brave they really are, would have done it with my ridgy x for sure, she had a thing for fingers and would never have gone with strangers, and if you tried to pick her up she would bite. Teach those buggers a lesson

I think they are watching people and seeing what gets locked in the boot etc

It's actually getting really bad, don't even want to come down for the trial on fri night

Well done Rally, im too scared to even show here in little WA , u are brave
