How to Report An Adverse Drug Experience
Introduction
Veterinarians and animal owners are encouraged to report adverse experiences and product failures to the government Agency that regulates the product in question. Pretesting by the manufacturer and review of the data by the government does not guarantee absolute safety and effectiveness due to the inherent limitation imposed by testing the product on a limited population of animals. CVM encourages you to contact the manufacturer of a suspect product. Reporting information for the following product categories:

Plus I go into a little more detail about exactly what’s included in the Training House Manners course I’m releasing this Monday at 9am pacific time.
Do you know the laws in your State regarding devocalization of dogs? If not, you might want to read this article. It seems like such an inhumane and unnecessary step, and can lead to other physical and emotional problems.

Did you know that some breeders and canine owners devocalize their dogs in order to reduce the sound of their barks? Sound strange? Seem barbaric? Well, it is. For this reason, passing a bill in your state that sets parameters for this type of sugary is a must. Read the rest of this entry »

Dog Digs Up Unexploded Grenade in Backyard; What’s the Wierdest Thing Your Dog has Dug Up?
by Maria Goodavage, Dogster’s for the love of the dog blog
January 5, 2010
A New Zealand man returned from work to discover his dog, Duke, playing with a mud-covered metal object. Upon further inspection, Sean McDermott realized in horror that it was a hand grenade.
And the detonator was still in place.
Are puppies like children? I believe we can all agree that children must be taught, at a very early age, how to behave, what foods are healthy for them, things they should not touch, etc. And, the same is true for our puppies. They need to be properly trained so they know what is, or is not, acceptable behavior.
This article addresses some of the similarities, but also the differences.
Dogs are like little children
by Roberta Baxter, Eugene Dogs Examiner, December 19
When we leave the home, unless we have a video camera, a pet owner does not know everything that goes on while they are away. Even if the camera is set and ready to record, don’t bank on it telling you everything. The mind and brain of a dog can be sneaky. Do you wonder if they know what is right and wrong? Just remember the canine is a dog and is not human. Pet owners sometimes think of their dogs as children, but they are dogs, folks.
It’s that time again. Most all of us make New Year’s resolutions (whether we stick to them or not).
Here’s a fun article posted by Sharon Harleigh, LA Pets Examiner, with her complied list of New Year’s resolutions for dogs:

Since we all at least consider making New Year’s resolutions, I conferred with my four legged family members. My dog’s New Year’s resolutions are:
There is so much confusing and contradictory information out there these days on training animals. Some well known dog trainers would have you believe that you need to dominate a dog to get any lasting results. They suggest you really need to understand your dogs need for you to be a pack leader and the alpha. While I believe there are certain truths to that some take it to far. You can see my complete thoughts on that here in a webinar I did entitled Alpha Myths Revealed.
Then you have others who suggest that you use dog friendly training methods. These utilize positive reinforcement and do not stress dominating your dog. The belief is that those techniques may work short term but the results will not be lasting. With so much confusion information out there Eric Goebelbecker decided to write a blog post on the subject. It’s worth the read and you should check it out!
