Oh my lordy, what a bunch of complete MOO's!

Morons! I feel sooOOOOOooOOO attacked!

I've just signed up to a dog forum to discuss Trio and get tips/training ideas Play ideas etc. I posted asking about sleeping at night and how we've decided to put her in the kitchen and whether we're on the right tracks/advice.... and I have been eaten alive!

Cannot believe how much they've condemned me! It's crazy! Some big weirdo believes in "healing scents" too... who incidently sells these scents... and cannot stop plugging them either! Snap out of it you big weirdo!!

Please feel free to read the thread...Doggy Forum Thread Click Here... and you'll see that I'm struggling to maintain my balance!

Blimey. I just wasted a whole afternoon arguing that one out. I cannot believe how horrible I feel. Not only that but I'm going to have to leave Trio this afternoon for about 15mins before picky gets in to get to my part time job. I now feel horribly cruel and guilty that I am going to be doing this... let alone having this notion I will scar the poor puppy for the rest of her life because I'm leaving her downstairs at night.

Stupid blooming plonkers. Will have to make up on work time this weekend

I'm SO angry and upset!!

I thought the world was such an accepting helpful place. I really think I'm naive sometimes. It's horrible out there.

They're probably just a bunch of nuts....some people can love their animals too much and forget that they are pets.

I think you picked a forum full of the type of people who literally SMELL of dogs cos they never let them go.

I was verbally abused by two RSPCA volunteers when I had to have my two dogs rehomed. They didn't seem to realise that at the time it was crueller to keep them.

What you are doing with Trio is obsolutely fine. It is very healthy to leave a dog on it's own and perfectly acceptable for it to know who is boss.

By the way, Rescue Remedy is very good for stressed dogs. I didn't realise it was for peoples, as we used it at he RSPCA on the dogs

Unicorn sounds like a right biatch! I'd ignore her! The rest of them seem ok?

Try not to take what they say to heart!

*big hugs*

You unfortunately get those types of people at a lot of places. The rat forum I use can be a really nasty place at times - I know of one respected breeder who has been sent a bag of rat poo and a stick anonymously (sh*t stirrer) - it really is unbelievable and very worrying.

You are doing the right thing Pheebs - dog need to be trained and know limits *hugs*

Just to clarify, flower essences are not 'scents'. They offer physical, mental, emotional and spiritual support for animals and humans alike. In a nutshell they 'heal'.

We are talking about a dog here, right? Animals that you see living outside at the junkyard with an ear torn off and one eye sewed up need flower essences?

No she's just one of these irritating hippe types. The sort that let their kids run riot and scream and shout cos they are 'expressing themselves.

The fact that they are comparing the dogs to kids just shows how crazy some of them are.

If I were you Pheebs, I'd let the thread die leave the forum and ask on here about any pet issues. The majority of us on here are experienced and sensible pet owners, who will tell you gently if we think you are doing something wrong and back you up if you are doing something right.

Yup, as I said, they worked wonders on the stressed dogs at the animal home.

Jonny69 · 17-01-2008, 16:30

Anyway, just to add something constructive to this thread you need to treat dogs like children. They start making a fuss and you just hang out the door and shout SHAAAATTUUUUUP!!!!! and they shut up

Isn't rescue remedy like 98% brandy?
