Thanks for the advice...first things first I think is to find someone that will let me volunteer in their shop :p

Thanks for the tip Amy How is it physically on you?

Thank you very much Amy....it does indeed help I guess ya gotta take the good with the bad

Another reason I would rather be my own boss (amongst the many). The pay would be better if the business was set up correctly.

Thank you very much for that Nice to see someone else in the Hunter Hope to see you round the rings with your new baby :D ..I have checked out their site before, I have found there fees a little high though I have to say... Compared to the MDBA I mean

Is it worth it though?

Wouldn't mind working in kennels either :D Would volunteer for someone in the local area too, to get more experience

Thanks for the advice I am going to try and find someone in my local area that will let me volunteer in there store... I wouldn't mind working if I had an OK boss...

Hey Guys, I am seriously considering becoming a groomer, there are certain objectives to fast before hand. But I would very much appreciate the advice/opinions of those who have been involved in this field of work...the positive and negatives in this line of work and if you know...the positives and negatives in running this sort of business... I have also looking into these franchise's...now I have to say having previously been involved with Franchises I am extremely wary...I can see the positives of them....but what are your thoughts? Any insight would be extremely appreciated...thanks everyone

Where are you located?

damn stoopid vets taking advantage of my ignorance

In my case it was.. 1st - C3 2nd - C4 3rd - c5

What is in the makes it OK, to not have another Vac?

So your got only Two vaccinations? Is it just me or should there be three vaccincations, mine have go them at 6,10,12-16(one of the other) weeks?

From what i can remember, Nobivac prevents parvo, distemper, kennel cough and hepatitis. I don't think it's any different to your usual C4 and C5 vaccs, however the advantage of this is that it is given at 10 weeks and after 7 days the pup is fully vaccinated therefore allowing it to go out and socailise and see the world earlier. Still confused, I don't see how this product is any different to a regular C4 or C5, except they are vaccinating at different times, you could vaccinate with a C4 or C5 at 10 weeks if you want, so whats the difference I still think pups should be vaccinated at around 6 weeks, so by 8 weeks they will be covered to go to their new home, where as this vaccine is saying vaccinate at 8 weeks

For anyone interested this is how they suggest you vaccinate with Nobivac...Which has me wondering as to how you are able to send your pups home at 8 weeks of age if that is when they get their first vaccination. The normally recommended vaccination regime using Nobivac DHPPi Lepto Pi and KC would be as follows: 8 weeks Nobivac DHPPi + Nobivac Lepto 10 weeks Nobivac DHPPi + Nobivac Lepto 1st annual booster Nobivac DHPPi + Nobivac Lepto 2nd annual booster Nobivac Pi + Nobivac Lepto 3rd annual booster Nobivac DHPPi + Nobivac Lepto 4th annual booster Nobivac Pi + Nobivac Lepto

What does Nobivac prevent? And why is it different to your usual C4 or C5? It looks to me as thought it isn't any better than a C3 or C4 or C5 - information on it varies extensively

Can you clarify all your pups vaccinations and what she was vaccinated against? 6 weeks - c3? 10 weeks - ?????? 12 weeks - ?????

Sorry but I agree with Dougie, your pup is too young to be out and about, her vaccinations haven't been completed and no decent respecting puppy preschool accepts pups that are well clear of having all their vac's done, this is roughly about the 3 months mark (12) weeks, yet yours is not quite 10 yet. Dougie's advise is extremely valid, the way it is put across is probably not ideal, but its to the point and correct. Others can disagree with me here, but in my opinion in this situation all you are doing is reassuring your pup that there is something to be frightened of, by picking her up when she is scared your telling her that there is something scary down there and that she should be scared, instead of doing that play with the other pups near her introduce her to one at a time and show her that they are good fun and there is nothing to worry about. Think of it like this, you have just walked in alone to a crowd of puppy who are bouncing around in your face all of them wanting to talk to you all at the same time, would that make you overwhelmed? Anyway best of luck, keep your baby at home till all the vac's are finished though Cheers, Katie

Whoa thats some techinical research ya got there ! I have recently taken the bickies out of my dogs food completely and there has been no change at all lol. They have the same amount of energy, coat quality is still great, so I just feed them raw now

they just were a lot more lively, would run around for longer without getting tired etc, they were energetic enough on supercoat but eagle pack just lifted their spirits a lot more

Oh yup my guys changed from supercoat to e Eagle pup puppy and HUGE difference in their energy levels

oooh nice.... The sibe's cute too

:D My body is dodgy, I am like a size 12-14 upper body but a 16 hips... Anyone have suits to fit that descreption

As soon as he stops praise him yup You can keep playing but if he does it again repeat the process, but its better to give him something like a toy to play with instead of you directly... Tug-o-war is a great game, just make sure he never wins and your not too rough...
