lol, depending on the breed (and this can be so subtle that it pretty much is a non-issue) males can be a bit more mushy. It wont be an issue either way. Also your dog will highly likely be spayed or nuetered. Lastly and this is hugely important. Ask to see examples of the dogs they've trained...

As a person who makes his living training dogs I can tell you that if you get a dog from an agency that goes out of its way to antagonize your cat either that agency is doing a poor job in selection or is doing a poor job in training. Depending on what the dog is trained to do most service dogs...

Rush, thank you. It's clear that I have much to learn. I feel the same way.Unless I have something that needs to get done I usually wont leave my house. I feel the need to hide. When I am doing well I love to work on my property. I also love to hunt. Both are solitary pursuits. I am single. I'd...

When I was young part of the abuse I experienced was from my father and the other instructors in the school where he instructed Judo. My dad made it clear that I represented the entire honor of the club. If/ when I did not win I was weak and a coward. This was not just when I didn't do well but...

Fortunately they're pretty much better. I still feel a stitch every now and again, but where don't I feel a stitch these days?

Albatross, the provider thing is huge. Funny, one of my fantasies is a wife who get's and enjoys my providing for us both.... lol, I suppose some might feel like the cat owner who just opened her door to find a dead mouse that her cat left as a gift!

Britt, hunting is just being part of the circle of life everyone is part of the circle. Hunters though tend to want to maintain what some us feel is our place in the circle. It's not just the hunt. It's being part of the woods. When you are part of the woods a person can walk within feet of you...

Nurse Nurse, I think you'll get a particular kick out of this.... as they roled me into the ER I was writhing in pain. I loked at the nurse ( are you ready Nurse Nurse?) Nurse? I say, Nurse, I know you deal with lots of people coming in to try to get pain killers. I'm not doing that, I promise...

Hi all, sorry for not stopping in for a while. First off, Spider, squirrel tastes like chicken ( didn't you know?) everything does. Actually it can be pretty gamie. I like to soak it in milk for a couple of hours. Rinse them, dry em season with some salt, pepper and garlic. After that I like to...

Hi Notso, sorry it's taken a while to get back to you. Broken ribs and the pain killers that go allong with them don't lead to very clear conversation. And no to anyone that asks about drugs, I am not, have not and never will have a problem. Anyway, I think that it's great that you stepped out...

Kwan, I tried emailing you last not. Thar might have been a fuax paux any was ,there are serveral aptions for you. Teaching your dog to heel on leash will take two weeks and that will inclide automatic sits even under great distractions. However I have a couple of questions (please do your best...

Thanks Albatross, yep, I know the feeling, it's not a good one and us dangerous for both sides. I THINK the only reason I'm still here is the level of intensity. I beilieve that the only reaon to fight is to defend your family and personal property.Other than that as a good citizen it would be...

Hi Friday, I used to love training.I especially loved working with dogs that need to learn not to eat people. Working any dog though one must be centered and in the moment. Two with an aggressive dog it's especially important to be able to read him. Sometimes there comes a time where you need to...

I didn't sleep last night. That's okay, it happens occasionally. Just before sunrise I decided to put on my hunting gear and go relax in my tree stand. Hunting is not about killing.You are more apt to not get whatever critter you're hunting than you are too. For me the love is being in the...

Notsowild, for what it's worth I have to ask which battle are you fighting? Are you fighting the abuse you experienced then? Or do you see a positive out come coming from the fight now? Sometimes we fight the old fight rather than realizing that todays fight might only be a fight if we allow it...

Man, you guys ( ladies) I am sooo happy to have stumbled on to ths group. I knew there were people like me but until my counselor told me different I'd always though of PTSD as the sort of reaction a vet might have to a bang. My counselor explained that not all stress disorders are the same...

Wait, what a great post. I'm new here though so I hope you don't mind if I try to catch up a bit. Are you talking about situations that you have no time to prepare for or are you talking about situations that come up and then you need to kind of reflect and make sure your perceptions were...

It's good, if sad as well to know that there are others who have a tough time going out into the world. Home feels safe, even wen my depression leaves me little energy to even keep my house clean. It's kind of a roller coaster for me. I mean going out in public, only when I have to shop or...

Good morning NYC, I don't share the same backround as you but I think the one thing we all carry is some sort of trauma and the other symptems that go along with it. I can certainly relate to work. I've been on disability for forever. I hate it and I want to be able to venture out into the...

Man, it's really nice to recieve such nice welcomes. While no one here could really be threatend by my rage it's cool to be accepted and not thought of as a freak or a bad person. Thank you. I actually train dogs for a living. The dog in the picture is Cowboy. I bought him at a point when I...

Hi Sammy, good morning? I think? Anyway, Green Eggs and Ham was a great book, second only to Where The Wild Things Are and maybe the lesser known Flat Stanley, who was flattened by his bulliten board and got to mail himself to a friends house. But I digress. thank you for your welcome. It's nice...

Hi Love, thank you for your kind sentiments. Understanding people will be a nice thing to have. It sucks to live in fear all the time. I don't know where in the SW you are but I spent some time in the Mojave. LOL, it was a G-d forsaken place if there ever was one. However, NM up on the high...

Thank you for your kind welcome Santa, huah, ( Huah = enthusiasm in American Soldier speach, don't know what you brits use) I will take your advice and look through the vault. I hope that I've finally found exactly what I've been dealing with all of these years. The will is there just needed to...

Thank you TX and Sharky, it really is good to be welcomed.
