My Lab girly is 10 next month ( how the hell did that happen ) Anyhow she has been on rimadyl for 2 years for hip dysplasia, but this summer I decided to give her a go without and changed her over to 2000 mgs glucosamine per day ... and I cant believe how much of a differance it has not made! she started on metacam at the age of 6 then on to rimadyl, now I cant believe that I have had her on chemical painkillers for so long. obviously if she starts to struggle I will rethink but she walks for hours with no limps and minimal stiffness, I am very impressed with Glucosamine. any other experiences guys ?

Im in im in !!! thank you so much Snow xx

Some dogs dont take to the clicker .... dont take it personally, where do you live i would be happy to help

My friends cat, Passed on to her as his owner died... he was old then and now has gone. Yesterday she decided it was time to let him go and made the awful decision. It broke her heart but she has been very brave. If you could possibly Spare her a good thought for strength at this time, and Tobe I know you can see her and appreciate her for helping you along. Have fun at the bridge and im sure mommy number one has met you up there xxx

I generally tune a dog in to the clicker by clicking and giving treat repeatedly, it may take 2 or more seperate sessions depending on dog, You know a dog is solidly tuned in when he hears the click and no matter what he is doing automatically looks to you for the treat. Timing is very important with the clicker, an excellent game to play once the dog is tuned in to the sound is : SHUT THE DOGS OUT Get the OH or another willing volunteer to try and work out what you want them to do by purely clicking, for example, You want OH to stand on a particular chair so he wanders round trying to please you and you click when he is along the right lines. Bit like the hot and cold game If you have a couple of goes being the trainer then being the dog you will see how important timing is and how awfully confusing it can be for the dog bad timing can be. Also on that note, regardless of the dogs actions if you click the dog must have a treat or you will reduce the effectiveness of the clicker. Have fun, and enjoy that wonderful look on your dogs faces when they are thinking so hard to try and extract a click

Iv read about Guiness in various posts but hadnt seen pics, what a gentle looking soul you can see in those photos, My heart aches for you Wendy and I hope yours heals as quickly as possible. Sally
