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

Johnny - you don't know how hard I LOLLED at that post by unicorn! I snorted in the process too!

I think it's unicorn that has riled me and maybe that's made me think that others have an underlying tone of nastiness.

Seriously. What a kerfuddle over it all!

Man. I need to wee now and am too scared to leave my sleeping dog incase she has a mental break down when she wakes up and sees I'm not there.

Isn't rescue remedy like 98% brandy?

It's in a 'grape alcohol solution' and tastes like wine

Tbh Pheebs, I speed read the thread and it only seemed like the hippie was having a go, most of the other guys seemed ok.

The problem is if you do walk around with your dog (and even your kid) strapped to you 24/7, they DO become dependent. They need to learn that they are capable of being on their own, that you are coming back, and that nothing bad is going to happen in the mean time.

(I was joshing about the worried about going for a wee btw people! )

I think you're right people. I think it is just Unicorn. What a complete loser!

I'm going to go do more important things now! God bless them.

It's all Unicorn. Talk of essences healing distress built up as residue in the internal organs is like saying you get cancer from shoes. How did dogs cope before this revelation? Just fine. If I never left my house I'd be distressed walking to the end of the drive. A puppy has to learn and what you're doing is just fine. It would seem at least a few people there agree, but just offer other advice.

Just ignore Unicorn... she obviously is trying to sell the stuff she's gonig on about and is unable to accept that some people don't believe in it.

Some of the others give good advice though?

Ahahaha! Unicorn is a total loony!

I think she's sniffed a few too many scents if you ask me.

[Haly]

What a nutter!
Ignore her, she's obviously a weirdo. Don't worry

I like her last post where she says she wasn't the one who started the thread and that

Don't worry about her Pheebs, most people don't mollycoddle their children as much as she seems to do with her dogs.

Let me give you a rather basic example of how psychology works IMO......

Rewind 22 years and a 5 year old me is lying in bed terrified of a big bad thunderstorm and no matter how much of a fuss I made my mother left me alone to deal with it. The next morning I was standing at the window watching another big storm with facination because I'd realised that it couldn't hurt me.

You leave dog, dog thinks **** they're not coming back what shall I do and starts crying. You come back.

Eventually dog realised that when you leave you will come back and decides to have a bit of a snooze while you're away.


I should write books



EDIT:
People like Unicorn are the reason that you have to pay to become an advertiser on the Lotus forum I frequent if you even want to mention the product you sell. You get an Advertiser tag so people know to take any recommendations with a pinch of salt.
