    (NN) I need your thinking caps - chronic diarrhea

    This is about the boxer mix we adopted last fall (boxer with a long nose). He came to us about age 4, intact, a walking skeleton with stage 4 hearworm disease. He also has a very low pain threshhold and is a fearful, fear aggressive dog. We clip his toenails when he is out for another...

    NN - How does an intact male behave if there is a female in heat nearby?

    This relates to our son's boxer mix (boxer with a long nose LOL). He is an intact 4 year old heart-worm positive dog. We are in the middle of heartworm treatment and then he will get fixed after. Yesterday and today he has been whining a lot. He's been on walks, isn't that interested in food...

    Getting my head in the right place

    So we helped our son who is a live at home college student rescue a dog. He is not a newf. He has turned out to have some very serious health issues and is fear aggressive. It turns out he is afraid of a lot. Because he is so ill we can't do training classes for a long time. He has at one time...

    Got some bad news for Kilrain today

    Sorry I've been awol on here for so long. A new job and 4 moves in the last year haven't left much computer time. I took Kilrain to the vet today to get his eye pressures checked. I try to have it done every 6 months but it has been more like a year this time with the moves. It turns out one...

    Does anyone else have to log back in constantly?

    This has been going on for a while now and it's driving me crazy. I haven't been on here as much because I spend half my Newf Net time logging in. I literally just logged in, read one message, tried to post a reply and had to log in again before it would post. :banginghead: Hope I got the...

    Need ideas for getting rid of the Gentle Leader

    Kilrain (who is blind) and I have been taking a CGC prep course and so far we have been using his Gentle Leader. I use it partly because he pulls on a leash and partly because it allows me to steer him while we are walking. In order to take the CGC test I have to get him to stay with me on a...

    What should I take to a draft seminar?

    I don't have equipment yet. They are letting me borrow some. Obviously I need lots of training treats and our regular leashes. I'll take a water bowl. I'll have the bell I wear when Kilrain and I are working outside to make it easier for him to track me. What else might I need? Should I take...

    A few more Pawsabilities pics

    Katala tried the Air Dogs (like Dock Dogs). She could care less about fetching the stupid Wubba and did not want to jump off the dock but she was very happy to go in the ramp and have a nice swim :lol: Several New-Pen-Del members were hosting an opportunity to try drafting. Our dogs really...

    Does anyone know if the Ashley Craig packing peanuts are safe to eat?

    Katala's Newfiepalooza brush was on the doorstep when i was going out the door to pick up Art so I stuck the box inside the foyer. When I got home the brush had been liberated from the box and the packing peanuts feel like marshmallow from the slobber. I don't know if she ate any. Does anyone...

    Getting ready for the big snip

    Kilrain is getting neutered Friday. My long-suffering vet has already agreed that Kilrain will be first in that day so I can stay with him until he goes in. I will also be with him in recovery and will stay with him until he can come home. Kilrain is the first dog we've had neutered. Moose was...

    Boots

    OK, we are probably being crazy agin :lol: but we're considering training Katala to help out on the construction site as a nail carrier or something. Art is very involved with Habitat/Fuller center builds and would love to have Katala come with him. We're thinking she'd probably need a good...

    All my dogs have despised thinning shears

    I'm wondering if it is because I use the kind you buy at Petco and if I need to buy a better brand? Does anyone know of a good online video for how to use thinning shears? Thanks!

    Autism Service Dogs

    I am looking for information on the benefits of autism service dogs. Also, is anyone aware of a site that will give someone with no dog training experience at all directions to train a puppy to be an autism service dog? Thanks, Sharon
