pine gum

2003-08-20 Thread Bruce and Marilyn Lister
We have just got back from Indiana and Toronto and somewhere along the way our Berner gal, Barli, lay in pine gum. Can't recall the remedy and have a vague recollection that it is peanut butter.

I have used the recipe but found that the hydrogen peroxide gave my Berner's coat red highlights! It also didn't work as well as the tomato juice treatment.

Have been debating with myself whether to contact the list regarding our almost seven month old puppy's refusal to obey the "down" command. Have decided to plunge ahead. Barli has been clicker trained since we got her at 8 weeks and has been a very quick learner. In fact, a week ago I emailed a lis

flexi leads and snow!

2002-11-05 Thread Bruce and Marilyn Lister
We've used the webbed flexi for years and like it. Had tried the cord flexi but it really hurt if it wound around our legs. I've always said my Husband plays our dog like a yo yo when he uses it. He is able to give her the signal that she is reaching the end of the lead so that he or she doesn't ge
