Dog Health > Thoughts on no rabies vaccine in Texas

| Barked: Thu Jan 3, '13 10:11pm PST |  |  |  |  | Although odds are your dog is well protected against rabies from the last vaccine, I'm pretty sure it's legally required to have it every 3 years in Texas. If your dog were to ever bite somebody you would be in trouble. I wouldn't risk it. Quite frankly, the odds of your dog having a reaction to the vaccine are very slim. I think most "vaccine danger" stuff is blown up way out of proportion. |  |  |  |  |

Behavior & Training > Building (or rebuilding?) drive

| Barked: Tue Dec 18, '12 7:47pm PST |  |  |  |  | Well it really depends on the type of drive you're trying to build or rebuild. A flirt pole plays on prey drive, that's about it. And as someone else mentioned, you must always put away the toy before he gets bored; preferably at the height of interest. |  |  |  |  |

| Barked: Tue Dec 18, '12 7:30pm PST |  |  |  |  | Your dog is not "malicious". That's anthropomorphizing your dog. If he shuts down that badly with "discipline" then it's time to look for other methods. I think it's important to make sure you do not set up your dog to fail. If something goes wrong, then that's usually because somewhere you goofed up. Pottied in the house? Should have been crated or watched. Destroyed something? Should have been crated or watched.
For now treat this dog like a puppy. Anytime you cannot, for whatever reason, actively watch your dog (watching TV in the same room is not actively watching) either crate your dog or tether him to you with a leash. Always reward, reward, reward good behavior with treats, praise, toys, whatever works best for your dog. Build your dog's confidence and your relationship. Consistency is key to solving anything! |  |  |  |  |

Raw Food Diet > Starting raw, afraid of bone hazards

| Barked: Tue Dec 18, '12 3:26pm PST |  |  |  |  | The only reason to be afraid of bones is if they are cooked in any way. As long as they are raw, edible bones you have nothing to fear. I never, ever see bony bits in my dogs stools which tells me the stomach is doing it's job breaking everything down. |  |  |  |  |

Small Dogs > Good treats for training for small dogs?

| Barked: Tue Dec 18, '12 3:08pm PST |  |  |  |  | I like to buy the food rolls at Petsmart because they are easy to cut into small pieces.. Not the Natural Balance rolls - they have sugar. Not the refrigerated ones, they're too moist. I forgot what it's called... You can also cut Zuke's Mini's into small pieces. |  |  |  |  |
