Have you noticed that no professionals (trainers or behaviourists etc) have rushed to his defence? Ok so he does not need the backing of organisations like the American Humane Association , American College of Veterinary Behaviorists or American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior etc to practice as a TV dog wrestler but is he not ashamed at their condemnation of him??? Can the Cesarites not see him for what he is or do they honestly condone harsh, rough treatment of dogs just to get a result? I have dealt with some really difficult dogs in my time, heck I could write a book! But I never, ever, not once, employed those techniques just to get a dog to submit and look as though it was obeying me etc!

re caroline -


oh, but they ARE, caroline!!
adjustable for height, options for fabric, color, its amazing...
get one to play-off the color of the drapes in the living-room!
its just so exciting, U have to go see the post about them on the k9-Konspiracy thread,
these Pin-That-Pooch! benches are just the coolest!...
simply thrilled, (clasps hands + squeals...) Ooh!...

i am so sorry to have to tell U this, sue...

but *leashed* is currently lying on the floor, spasmodically clutching at a sore belly or aching ribs,
whooping and laughing in the rudest fashion... i apologize, i do not think that decor is high in priority!

for myself, i can see why U are confused - pick a century, dear, and stick to it.
pigments, clothing, furnishings, habits... and dogs and breeds. immersion is always better than a surface gloss...
of course, if U choose the Edwardian era, not all of the Xmas guests will want to play charades or drink mulled claret,
but that is all right - next year, do not invite them! problem solved...

and BTW - blue-dogs do not come with red-noses, sorry, it is that genetic thing, again.
blue-dogs and red-dogs (Viszla, Tollers, Dogues, ...), are referred to as SELF-COLORED - with the exception
of some white markings, the dog is shades of one color. the outer-surface of the ear may be darker than the body,
there may be some dark agouti-type banding in the hair of the hackles across the shoulder-girdle, and so on...
but basically, they are one color, of varying intensity, all over.

HTH, Ur ever-vigilant

PS -
*leashed* is now in the bathroom, splashing water on a tear-marked face... and still spluttering, now and then.
honestly, how so much hilarity could come from a simple question of home-fashions, i do not know! its embarrassing...

no probs, caroline! :--)

gotcha covered... any of the CRYPTON waterproofs are an excellent option,
and a S/S pail that secures under the bench for used-nappies is another option -
scented thin, durable liners, which tie-shut with elongated dog-ear flaps,
are also available, with built-in odor-suppressors on the >-inside-< of the bags,
and Ur choice of scents impregnated into the >--outside of the bag---< ...

the perfume-options include:
attar of roses, lavender, patchouli, cedar or wintergreen!

we aim to please,
--- terry
