Mona what happened to the "toe tag" one.....I was working towards that :DOH!

This is such a conundrum :DOH! based on the flower principle then brocoli is a fruit because we eat the immature flower heads and Rhubarb leaves are toxic but the stems are safe yet rhubarb is used like a fruit for preserves or pie and actually rhubarb has a really cool flower of sorts. Then...

Well many seem to think giving an animal a treat for looking cute is training and that can go very wrong when that cute foal is now 15 hands and insisting on being boss with teeth and feet :DOH! :DOH!

I am curious how is any tool a "shortcut"...lets get real a shock collar is no more or less a short cut than a clicker or treat or for that matter halter and lead all tools when used correctly have benefits and drawbacks. And even clicker's and treats can be used in completely wrong ways. I...

and asparagas is actually a biennial not perennial :DOH! .........if they consider rhubarb a perennial vegetable then why did they leave out horseradish ........ NOW how did I miss this all these years :DOH! sounds yummy I have got to get me some

Actually I've been thinking on this......... In the case of a biter using a breast collar with a shock set fairly high could work quite well. In my experience with biters the best results came when the horse was quickly and forcefully smacked across the chest with a whip.......if I was another...

Neil I believe they actually have shown up at horse events and done that PETA has a 95% kill rate much higher than most US shelters, they also rabidly oppose the no-kill shelter solution....google Nathan Winograd, he has some very good ideas and has set up and run successful no kill shelters...

This is an Aussie right? Sounds to me like he has alot of herd drive. Do you know anyone who works cattle or sheep that might take him on and give him a career that uses his skills for good My sisters border collie herds her chickens and after watching him his STYLE is actually quite...

The e-collar is always a negative stimulus. Even when used to reinforce a positive behavior. The manner of use is what is important, you need to know what your doing or else like any negative stimulus it can backfire and reinforce a negative behavior. Heck undoing negative behavior caused by...

My opinion is a little different, and I don't breed horses anymore. However I have bred sheep, rabbits and birds in the past and may breed dogs down the road. I do not breed anything for "show or pet" I only breed with breed improvement in mind. The only reason I ever breed anything is with...

You know I'd heard there was one for cribbers...did a search and sure enough there are a number of types made just for horses http://www.gundogsupply.com/vibreltrcofo1.html I would guess if used properly it could be as good a tool as any.

You poor thing I cannot imagine the waiting Lisa what a cute pup. Actually I don't know all the specifics BUT someone was telling me how in a wolf pack often the lower ranking b_itches aren't allowed to breed and then when the higher ranking ones whelp the others come into milk and act as...

Me too having just been through the Northwest mess, I am hoping they are all ok. Got my power back just in time to hear about it and already checked in with my pal in Missouri, she's fine power was only out for about 8 hours and it didn't sound like she was hit with as much ice. hope all are...

Actually if the puppy "yakked" it all up that should be good......limit food intake and allow water and it should all be good. Dogs seem to not suffer much once they relieve themselves of the offending item/food .....if your still concerned...rice is usually a good mild food for upset dog...

OMG Susanne you are so baaaad will keep you in my thoughts........hoping all goes well
