Hydrogen peroxide. My GSP did the same thing. A friend was here whose dog died because he ate chocolate and the vet told him to make the dog drink peroxide, but it was too late. So I took her outside and made her drink a few chugs to make her throw it up. It took 4 attempts before she finally threw ...

Well said, the only reason I suggested the collar is because she is smart enough and has faster reaction time than me so she is usually out of the way before I make contact!! :evil: I dont think she even feels pain!! When I do make contact she just flexes and hurts my hand. Thanks all for the advice...

So I have a 2 yo shorthair who seems to have forgot everything we have taught her concerning house manners. We had a problem with her getting on the counters so we used mouse traps to break her of that and havent had a problem since. On Thanksgiving we had some people over and I couldnt keep her out...

I have a shorthair that dug a lot. I learned that when I didnt wear her out, the digging would get worse. Keep her occupied with toys or a ball or something. I also put poop in the hole, makes disposal easier :D Its probabally a phase you just have to get through. One thing I heard a lot is a tired ...

Got sick and tired of working for someone else who doesn't appreciate hard working people so i've decided to take charge of my life, make some changes and now i'm a network marketer!! So far, best decision I have ever made, at least career wise. Of course my wife and the military are the top 2.

I owned a 2004 GMC Yukon and it did good. If you get into deep mud or snow, you have to shut off the traction control. I bought mine in Alaska and went through 2 winters up there and 1 winter hunting in central Oregon. I was really impressed with the stabilitrac system and it saved me more than a co...

Also, I was warned by a couple vets to stay away from chicken and turkey treats. Cant remember the specific reason though.

jwnissen

my vet recommended dehydrated duck and beef liver. I have found it at the pet supply stores. and I like the fact that it is natural. As far as blue buffalo, everyone has an opinion. I fed it to my GSP and she did good at home and couldnt keep on weight at the trainers. He swapped her to eukanuba pre...

I used mouse traps on my shorthair and it worked like a charm. I would put a piece of paper or cardboard on them so that it made a lot of noise and threw something in the air. I also used them to keep her off of the couch. Now she just stands on her back feet and looks to see what is on the counter ...

I work for a sporting goods store in the gun dept. We just started doing internet orders and shipping guns and ammo. Look at www.griggsonline.com in the sporting section, create an acct and then buy your ammo. We have a fair amount of .380 but it is 21 or 22 a box and I dont think there is a limit. ...

Tried that he thinks ur playing with him he keeps jumping Then youre not doing it hard enough +1 My shorthair use to jump on people and when i saw her about to jump on me, or come back to do it again, I would cock my knee back and hit her as hard as I could. a few times of that should do the trick....

My only concern would be bird bones being hollow the can break off in very sharp pieces causing one expensive vet bill. I thought the same thing when I saw my trainer letting my dog eat pigeons and chickens as part of her gun breaking process. He then said something that made perfect sense, ever se...

Where are you located?

I have a 2yo shorthair who has been to obedience training and the only thing that keeps her at me side is the pinch collar. She knows as soon as I put it on her and stays by my side. I have tried everything and the only other thing that worked was a gentle leader but it would ride up on her snout an...

I have a pretty good feeling that if i put straw im his house it wouldnt last more than a few minutes before it became a toy. The barrel idea is a good one. I might end up trying that. If you are saying that yur dog is outside all day im sure mine would be just fine in the garage. Thanks for the in...

I just bought a small dog igloo last summer and put a good amount of straw in it for warmth. I leave her outside while I am at work. I think last winter it was in the low 20's high teens when I went to work and warmed up to about 35 or so. She did good. She just curled up in the igloo all day until ...

+1 getting ready to send my shorthair back for some more training. I have been to 2 trainers, i would STRONGLY recommend using him. He is a little more expensive, but fixing a messed up dog costs even more!! Good luck

A friends dog started doing the same thing and is old. It turned out to be diabetes and now gets insulin shots daily and no longer pee's in the house. Something to check.

JWP has a flare for melodrama, but I think he may be correct. I would feel much better armed with such a combination than with a kitchen knife, but I'd be pointing such a setup at an intruders face to stop his assault and blind him. It's just not a reliable stopping weapon with a center mass shot a...

Are you just going to use it for going to the range? If you are looking for something to shoot and to take into the woods with you I would look at a 10mm. Both guns are really good guns. I have a preference to the XD because of the extra palm safety. The glock I have never liked because it doesnt fi...

That sucks!!! I bought coopers because they were a US company. Hope they keep their quality up.

It shows at 3pm on direct tv. RJ is an awesome dog trainer and specializes in gun shy dogs. I have nothing but good to say about him.

I feed eukanuba premium performance and am really happy with that. I would go with Doc E and feed yogurt or if you dont want to mess with that, change foods.

Mine does the same thing. I have tried everything and I can get her to give it to me but she doesn't want too. Treats work really well and does everything I have ever taught her on command if I have treats but wont do it once they are gone. Its driving me crazy!!!

jwnissen

they use a scanner and run it over the chip to get the info. Ask yourself this, is you dog only worth less than $45.00? If yes then dont get a chip, if yes, as im guessing you response will be, then chip the dog. Consider it an insurance policy in case the dog is stolen or runs away. $45 really isnt...

Eastern oregon about 15 miles north of LaGrande has cbarc outfitters. They are really nice people and you can use your own dogs. They charged $150 for 6 pheasants guided or you can get quail. They have a website i beleive it is cbarcoutfitters.com Good luck.

jwnissen

I know it might be a little more than you might want to do, but could you have a friend adopt the dog then take it from them? I never tried to adopt and dont know what rules they might have, but if you really wanted to help that dog, it might be worth it. It sounds like the dog would have a better l...

Thank you all for your advice and practices. It sounds like the general census is to introduce both gradually so that is what I am going to do. Again thanks for your help.

My father in law has a young horse who hasn't been around dogs much. I have a 1 1/2 year old shorthair who has been around horses while at a trainers. I would like to ride the horse and take her out for exercise. How do I get the horse use to the dog so she doesn't kick her or step on her? Is it jus...

I fed my shorthair blue buffalo for the first year of her life. It was what the vet recommended. It was starting to get expensive so I was looking to change her food. While she was at the trainer, he said she was loosing a lot of weight and switched her to eukanuba performance. She started putting o...

Yes she is gun broke and birdy again. I worked with the previous trainer for a day so I know she had one on and he was using it. I'm assuming if she was shy to the collar, she would have been afraid of it when I pulled it out and put it on her. She just got excited over it and still does when I pull...

So I just purchased my first e-collar for my shorthair, a Dogtra 2500T&B. I know you have to be extremely careful when first introducing a dog to these. One of the trainers used them on her but I am not sure how she might respond. Long story short, he had her for 10 weeks and I got her back EXTREMEL...

I wish that's all my dog ever ate. I use to be concerned then I would just look for it the next day. Was almost like a scavenger hunt picking her poop up. Actually, it helped me figure out what she really liked to eat, tissue paper and paper towels. I did everything in my power to keep things picked...

$2500 for a Vizla or golden puppy? You can buy a bird dog pup from the world's best breedings for $400 - $1000 every day. This fool preys on bigger fools. I would never buy a Vizla or Golden anyway. Didn't you know, the more you charge, the better the dog!!! I have seen a lot of people with money t...

[quote="MonsterDad"]I think stopping the treats is a good idea. You can use a teaspoon of plain canned pumpkin, plain not pie filling. +1 I have used this many times. When she got the runs really bad I also cooked rice and chicken to feed her for a couple of days. Good luck. The vet also gave me som...

Finding a handgun to buy right now is harder than deciding on which one to buy. If you are not desperate, I'd wait till the demand is back to normal along with prices. I shoot wheelguns and bottomfeeders, and use different revolvers as my primary deer firearm. Most folks can cover the most bases wi...

How old is the puppy suppose to be when you test them? Is there a specific age range? This is the first time I have ever heard/seen one of these.

Thanks

jwnissen

Before you even think about a harness, do some research. I saw some videos of them testing the harnesses and not one of the dogs would have survived a crash. Most of them would have broken their necks. I would just keep her in the back, she will eventually get use to it.

The only reason she let me get my shorthair is because she held er when she was 3 weeks old.

Now she doesn't even want to look at puppies.

Yup, that's exactly what I thought!!! A bored dog can sure put a hurtin on a chew resistant bed.

jwnissen

I have tried everything but only found one thing that works! I took the bed she has been laying on in our living room for the last year and put it in her kennel. My only guess is that because she has had it so long, that she does not chew on it. I bought a chew resistant KONG bed and put it in her k...

I am still interested in a collar and was wondering if you have ever tried to put some reflective tape onto them.
