shelby-001 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I have seen a grand total of maybe 10 minutes of the show and it's already irritating me..... Case 1: Small dog attacked by 'pitbull' (well who identified it really) and they are 'not all bad I'm sure the ones at home are wonderful' s their termperament is a product of how they are brought up, but due to the 'lock' of their jaw they can't be removed, so damage is normally bad..... ggggrrrr! Case 2: Small white dog up for adoption, lady adopting it doesn't particularly want it if it has any 'pitbull' in it so Dr Chris is doing a definitive $120 DNA test to ascertain whether it has any 'pitbull' in it. This is after in case 1 they noted that 'temperament' is a product of upbringing. How is this crap allowed on TV? No wonder the general public have no idea.

tdierikx Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I can only think of one use for the vet in this show... and it's not treating my dogs... *grin* T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsdog2 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) The last show I watched was months ago on puppy training - when you bring your pup home put it in the bathroom or laundry at night and let it cry . No mention of crates at all - most vets love crate-trained dogs I thought . Most of his training advice is at least 20 years old Edited June 26, 2011 by gsdog2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there's zip for me that way, I mean I cannot possibley take a man seriously who resembles a cartoon character so much, not to mention the charisma bypass he sees to have going, Mr Bland-man. Mind you I found the ? Bionic Vet was.ummm.....appealing. Maybe cause it's because I'm in my forties and if they haven't got a grey hair, they're not worth looking at...God, I'm getting old.......

My sister was telling me she took her new puppy to the vet last week and she proudly told him she was using a crate. He was thrilled - he told her that when a crate trained dog was hospitalised they usually settled quicker than the non-crate trained dogs. And to emphasise the fact he had a dog making a huge racket out the back - probably not crate trained ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalteseLuna Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 He really doesn't inspire much confidence does he... but it is all staged/acted and his producers control what gets on the show etc. I am a client of the "real" vets from Bondi Junction Vet Hospital - I would far prefer to see them on the show as they are all very knowledgeable and fantastic.
