Congrats Artur we are not far behind you!! Any litters on the horizen ? J

thats a classic .......................very beautiful girl

I believe Showdog off here has kennels and are very highly thought of.

Best money I ever have spent was on an Animal behaviourist, I wouldnt have believed what he told me until I actually went to see him with my dogs. Very basic explanations and solutions and a great plan to follow, they have benefitted immensley from it, and so too have I . J Good luck

Behavioural Science, with an emphasis on avoiding clinical psychology Is this just with animals ( the furry kind) ??

Yes, almost exactly the same. The Troy product has a very high dose of one of the B Vitamins, which has been shown to have therapeutic benefit on it's own and may be a useful adjunct. Proteins are made up of amino acids. The percentage of each amino in a protein varies. The brain can only use so many of these aminos at any one time, and some of the larger aminos take preference, I suppose you could say the bully their way through. By raising insulin you effectively increase the % of tryptophan by sending the larger aminos away to build muscle, repair organs, make fat and all the other things that happen when you raise insulin. What happens when you supplement with tryptophan is that you increase the % of tryptophan shortly after it is digested. If the dogs are being exercised and have good access to natural sunlight and aren't being kept awake unnaturally then the tryptophan gets used in the brain (actually it gets converted to something else first, but I'm keeping it very simple). In short, there is more than one road to Rome. However, tryptophan isn't the only amino that gets taken up in the process when you raise insulin, and it isn't the only amino that is a precursor for important neurotransmitters either. So my theory is that by raising insulin, just a little, for a short period of time, in a well exercised dog who is getting natural sunlight and sleeping in rhythm with the cycles of the planet that they evolved upon - you give the brain (and the rest of the body) a shot at getting everything it needs to function properly for the rest of the day. So it's not always necessary to raise insulin through carbs, but it can be helpful, and a % of dogs (unknown, not studied) do benefit from it. So when I make the recommendation, I use the recipe which I have the most experience with. Hopefully, one day, I will finish my degree and someone will throw a few bucks my way and I'll be able to find out some more of the parameters. At this stage I'm only working with slightly more information than a charlatan... so I'm cautious. Do dogs need carbs? No. Did dogs evolve eating carbs and might this have had some bearing on selective breeding? It would be hard to argue otherwise, although many have their opinions. I prefer to let the dog decide. Both of mine respond very differently to carbs in their diets. Thank you Aiden, I may have missed the post , but are you doing a Degree with reference to Animal Nutrition? Your writings are very informative and very interesting ( although I have to read them a few times!) Thanks for the info J

Can you explain Aiden Why the Troy behave paste has worked for my dogs? Is this the same principle as your mix with oates? J

All I can say is the Troy behave paste is excellent and I shall be using that and Vit b from now on, absolutely NO side effects and just what i wanted from my dogs! j

Well mine have had three doses and a show today and so many people commented on their behaviour and how much calmer they were. So something has made a difference, maybe taking the dogs out of the home environs and have others comment on them ? J

post withdrawn Not getting into a shit slinging match!

I have emailed privately J

Yes but you would need to have an ability to drive the thing. Trust me big vehicles are easier!! I must check as some only need a normal license but I have a HR so maybe thats why I can drive them. J

For Gero =have you thought about hiring a campervan? Maybe a few could get together an do it ?? If you have a business could always do a tax deduction! Great photo Emery.

Thanks Aiden I will try the oats if the Behave isnt working to well. I shall keep you posted. Thanks again

Thanks Lab Rat well I am testing the Troy paste first then I will try Aidens mix, my dogs are fussy eaters and I am not keen on the grains, may try it without the oats. J

so true Sally my diamond is my aging Crested

Thank goodness someone warned me the paste was yellow and staines everything! Naca has it all over his face, my crested has it in her hair and its everywhere! We must have used a good dose ( should have got a video for funny home vids!) J Shall let you all know how it goes

Thanks Aiden I have given the dog some paste and will do for a few days and see how that works before I try the other way. I can only but try, I do feel most of this is a learned behaviour response ( Due to being in a kennel for 12 months prior to me getting the dog) Excellent advice and thank you/

I cant stop thinking how he does anything we all take for granted, how does he eat, dress himself, even wee. How did he swim in the pool when he dived off the board? Maybe he has prosthetic arms he uses at times? No they couldnt be attached, any ideas I searched his website but couldnt find the answer, I also wondered if he did find a wife he talks of J

Thaks Willow, I can always use it for me lol! if it has no effect!

he has his own web site too and other videos, my USA friends say he is awesome and he is a true blu auzzie . Website

it works now I am a computer knob!

poop its on my facebook and I cant seem to transfer it !

If this doesnt bring a tear to your eye I think you may be dead!

my thoughts also... and any hints on how to administer????? H Its a rather big syringe I see
