1 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:24,719 Speaker 1: You were listening to Petlifradio dot com. 2 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 2: Well, good afternoon to everybody out there. Are my mentous day. 3 00:00:30,239 --> 00:00:34,200 It is our first show of twenty fourteen. I can't 4 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,679 believe it's fourteen already. Here we are, January second, and 5 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,799 here in for me, sorry to say this, sunny southern California, 6 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,079 eighty degrees seventy five of the beat blue skies. And 7 00:00:48,119 --> 00:00:52,439 for those of you who are not enjoying such amazing weather. Sorry, 8 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,159 but anyway, no, it's great, and I hope you all 9 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,039 had a good, safe New Year. It is you know, 10 00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:01,479 it's amazing to me. Was just talking about this before 11 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,880 the show, how different people like to bring in New 12 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,480 Years different ways. And I guess people get thrills of 13 00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:08,920 doing certain things that others might not find so thrilling. 14 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,000 I am one of those others that don't find it thrilling. 15 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,840 I certainly hope that you don't have this element or 16 00:01:13,879 --> 00:01:17,000 this I guess low mentality in your neighborhoods. But my 17 00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:19,159 staff here at the hospital, they wanted to try to 18 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,840 get out a little early on Tuesday afternoon for New 19 00:01:22,879 --> 00:01:26,000 Year's I said, you know, guys, Christmas Eve, yes, religious holiday, 20 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,079 we like to close early you get home to your families, etc. 21 00:01:28,599 --> 00:01:29,920 But New Year's Eve, you're not going to start going 22 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,840 out and partying. I know this to at least eight 23 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,040 nine o'clock, so we can close to the regular time. 24 00:01:34,239 --> 00:01:37,239 Their concern, however, it wasn't that they are going to 25 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,159 get home before and have enough time to do their 26 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,840 New Year's Eve partying. But it was. And I never 27 00:01:41,879 --> 00:01:44,400 even heard this before, and I'm in shock that it happens, 28 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,640 and it does, and it's confirmed by the news. But 29 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,599 some of these kids get their thrills as the sun 30 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,200 is setting, it's starting to get dark. We're not talking fireworks, 31 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,959 well quite literally fireworks shooting guns, real live ammunition up 32 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,799 into the air and not realizing that what goes up 33 00:02:02,879 --> 00:02:05,120 must come down, and those bullets and it could be 34 00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:08,960 a while later, are coming down with such amazing speed, 35 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,879 just the good old formula of acceleration nine point eight 36 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,400 meters per second every second. It speeds up in nine 37 00:02:15,439 --> 00:02:17,680 point eight meters a second, so you know you're looking 38 00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:19,879 at every second and a lot of meters up there. 39 00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:22,319 That thing is coming down pretty fast and it can 40 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,479 hurt someone. And there were one or two people in 41 00:02:24,479 --> 00:02:26,719 the news that were hit with these stray bullets. It's 42 00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:30,919 bizarre to me, certainly not the way I think most 43 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,000 of us should be spending on New Years, but unfortunately 44 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,439 does happen. I hope that people in your neighborhoods are 45 00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:39,560 much more sane, much smarter, because unfortunately we hear in 46 00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:43,840 LA cannot claim that all of our co residents are 47 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,000 that smart. Anyway, I hope it was safe. Though. As 48 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,800 I was thinking through the holidays and this last week especially, 49 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,319 I was wondering, how many of you and I really 50 00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:55,039 want to hear from you, and you can call us 51 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,800 very easily eight seven seven three eight five eight eight 52 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,680 eight to two. Don't be embarrassed, don't be shy. I 53 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,520 think it's it would be great to share experiences. Now. 54 00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:05,639 You can also send me a quick email to DRGF. 55 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,520 That's doctor Jeff at petlifradio dot com. We are wondering, 56 00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:14,080 I am wondering just what is a status in your 57 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,360 communities with regards to pet stores. And I'm talking the 58 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,479 mall type of pet store that typically sells these cute, 59 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,919 adorable little puppiesitting in that window, many of the purchases 60 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,680 of which are impulse and how many really seem to 61 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,319 think about where these puppies come from. Now in Los Angeles, 62 00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:37,639 very interesting and I know that many municipalities, many cities, 63 00:03:37,639 --> 00:03:41,919 have followed suit. These stores are banned stores that purchase 64 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,560 their dogs from those poorly reputed puppy mills. These are 65 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,759 these large scale multi breed breeding operations, usually in the 66 00:03:50,759 --> 00:03:53,680 Midwest or in the South. They have been now outlawed 67 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,080 in Los Angeles and now hear that many cities as well. 68 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,840 And I would love to hear in your cities, in 69 00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:01,879 your communities, in your state. Eight what the laws, what 70 00:04:01,919 --> 00:04:05,080 the rules are about these pet stores? Are they still 71 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,800 in operation? Are they still getting their dogs from these 72 00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:11,439 puppy mills or these large scale breeding operations? And mind you, 73 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,599 mind you. People will tell me, oh no, no, this 74 00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:15,800 isn't a five miili, this is USDA approof. Let me 75 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,639 tell you some USDA means nothing. Anybody can get a 76 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,560 USD license. That means it doesn't mean a thing that 77 00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:24,360 you can apply for it. They come out, they look 78 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,839 at as long as you have whatever the minimum standard, 79 00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:32,279 you can say yes you are USDA accredited. It doesn't 80 00:04:32,319 --> 00:04:35,079 mean a whole lot. And as a thank you, since 81 00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:38,720 our show is sponsored by Pro Sense Pet Products, available 82 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,759 at your mass retailers and our partners like Walmart, like Target. 83 00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:46,480 If you will come in and send us an email, 84 00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:49,240 call us live at eight seven seven three eight five 85 00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:52,240 eight eight eight two, join us here in the show 86 00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:54,639 even ask a question not related to this, but we'd 87 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,120 love to hear from you.

What the way it worked here in 93 00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:13,160 la Is There was a movement some years ago to 94 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,319 actually take these quote unquote pet stores, and some of 95 00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:20,759 them are very highly or were highly visible mall type 96 00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:23,480 stores that were very successful selling a lot of product 97 00:05:23,519 --> 00:05:27,079 as well, but selling live puppies. And instead of selling 98 00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:31,199 live puppies purchased from the puppy mills in the Midwest, 99 00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:36,920 the stores would comb the shelters, make sort of cooperative 100 00:05:37,079 --> 00:05:41,120 efforts along with many of the breed rescue groups, and 101 00:05:41,879 --> 00:05:45,759 sell those puppies from their stores so they would clean 102 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,560 them up, give them their vaccines. They would usually finish 103 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,040 the vaccine series and that was part of the purchase, 104 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,600 make sure they were all spade neotered. So from the 105 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,800 ultimate purchaser, from the consumer perspective, they were getting well vaccinated, 106 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,199 spade neotered, healthy puppies. And from the pet stores perspective, 107 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,199 they were able to fill that need, the void for 108 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,199 the consumer, yet not getting them from these large scale 109 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,519 reading operations, but rather from a rescue group or a shelter, 110 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,680 thus saving a life, because one must realize unless you 111 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,759 are in an area that can support what we call 112 00:06:22,079 --> 00:06:26,079 no kill shelters, it's always a huge problem. And these 113 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,759 no kill shelters are a godsend, and these rescue groups 114 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,680 are a godsend. And it's amazing that I see dogs 115 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,600 or cats, but dogs especially coming from these quote unquote 116 00:06:37,639 --> 00:06:41,399 breed rescues. And these rescues pretty much will go out 117 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,959 look for that particular breed and they may not have papers. 118 00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:47,040 That's okay, you may don't need papers. These dogs are 119 00:06:47,079 --> 00:06:49,680 all spade nooter. As I say, to anybody who thinks 120 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,240 they want to share the birthing experience with their kids 121 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,680 or their family, go rent the video. It's not that dynamic. 122 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,800 And the truth of the matter is that they want 123 00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:04,600 peace and quiet. They want privacy, and so it doesn't 124 00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:06,920 even help when you have all these people around watching. 125 00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:09,240 So go rent the video. But I say kind of 126 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,800 half in joking, but it's true that if you are 127 00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:16,519 even thinking of getting involved in the world of breeding 128 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,959 is go find and rent the movie. Find it on 129 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,360 Netflix or something Best in Show. It's kind of a parody, 130 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,120 but it is real and the characters that are portrayed 131 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,399 in this movie, it's exactly how they are in real life. 132 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,319 And it's something that I really don't think that you 133 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,120 want to kind of get involved with these kinds of people. 134 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,759 They're pretty bizarre group of people, and yet they are committed. 135 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,439 They are you know, extremely extremely caring. They have these 136 00:07:46,439 --> 00:07:50,959 big hearts, but they live, breathe, eat, sleep, their dogs 137 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,839 or their cats, and they are into this show world, 138 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,439 a world that most of us, but the normal person 139 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,680 who has a family, who has a job, can actually 140 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,800 come that much time and money by the way to 141 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:08,319 these breeding operations. It's a major, major time and financial commitment. 142 00:08:08,399 --> 00:08:10,399 If you want to show your dog. Most people that 143 00:08:10,439 --> 00:08:12,959 when they realize what goes into it will pass. Now 144 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,279 also know that if you have a dog that you're 145 00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:17,759 thinking of breeding, and you don't want to get into 146 00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:19,360 this world. I mean, you won't be able to bread 147 00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:21,720 with anybody. Because anybody who's still in this day and 148 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,839 age is really interested in breeding a dog. They themselves 149 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:31,360 are only wanting dogs that are proven champions, dogs that 150 00:08:31,399 --> 00:08:35,440 themselves have gone through all of the dog shows and 151 00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:39,960 the competitions, and they're accumulating their championship points and otherwise 152 00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:42,200 they don't want to waste. Anybody doesn't want to waste 153 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,480 a breeding, for especially a female, but even for a 154 00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:48,639 male if it's not going to add or enhance the 155 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,120 value and the reputation of the breeder. So they're going 156 00:08:52,159 --> 00:08:54,799 to pass on your dog anyway, So think about it. 157 00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:57,679 There's no reason to so. But these breed rescue groups 158 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,000 and these pet stores that are combing the rescue groups, 159 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,759 combing the shelters for these adorable dogs, it's perfect. And 160 00:09:05,799 --> 00:09:07,360 let's face it, you go to a pet store right 161 00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:10,240 now and one that is still selling these They are cute, 162 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,759 don't get me wrong, but one can't guarantee really their 163 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,120 health status and certainly not the conditions from which they 164 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,279 were bred. And it's often extremely frightening. But if you 165 00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:22,879 want it, let's say didn't want little puppy. You don't 166 00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:24,159 want to go through the puppy stage. You don't want 167 00:09:24,159 --> 00:09:26,000 to go through the house training. You know, you have 168 00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:27,720 a little teeny kid. You want something that's a little 169 00:09:27,759 --> 00:09:30,240 easier to manage right off the battom. And let's face it, 170 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,480 those first few months when you have a brand new puppy, 171 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,039 they're tough. That's like having a brand new baby. So 172 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,600 people want to sometimes adopt or purchase whatever. A dog 173 00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:42,440 gets a little bit older, maybe more seasoned, maybe already 174 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,440 house trained, maybe already trained. Then you won't get that 175 00:09:45,639 --> 00:09:49,679 unless you go to one of these newer style pet stores, 176 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,919 or from a breed rescue group, or from the shelter. 177 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,039 And I'm telling you there are great ones out there, 178 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,639 and these shelters really do a wonderful job. Trust me. 179 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,200 Shelter personnel do not want to put these dogs to sleep. 180 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,519 They will do anything in their power to try to 181 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,519 save them, especially if they think the dog or puppy 182 00:10:07,639 --> 00:10:10,120 is adoptable. Anyway, some food for thought I want to 183 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,960 hear from you. Eight seven seven three eight five eight 184 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,440 eight eight two.

You're 239 00:13:30,799 --> 00:13:34,480 ear talking with Dr Jeff Werber, your host for Asked 240 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,960 Bets with Doctor Jeff and I understand we have a caller. 241 00:13:37,039 --> 00:13:39,039 Is a caller still on the air. We lost our 242 00:13:39,039 --> 00:13:40,399 call caller. If you give us a call back here 243 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,879 at eight seven seven three eight five eight eight eight two, 244 00:13:42,879 --> 00:13:44,919 we definitely want to talk to you, hear from you. 245 00:13:45,159 --> 00:13:48,279 And we are just finishing up with just a discussion 246 00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:52,159 about municipalities pet stores who are purchasing dogs from these 247 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,600 puppy mills. And I had a terrible name for them, 248 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,039 but unfortunately that's kind of what they are. Call it 249 00:13:57,039 --> 00:14:00,200 what you will, large scale multi breed reading operations. Most 250 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,080 reputable breeders will not be breeding five different breeds, maybe 251 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,120 two different breeds, but not multiple breeds. So as soon 252 00:14:07,159 --> 00:14:08,960 as you know that a dog is coming from an 253 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,559 operation that has you can buy your anything from your 254 00:14:11,639 --> 00:14:15,320 Irish wolf found down to your chihuahua. Chances are it's 255 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,200 a puppy milk. So I think the callers back on 256 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,080 the air, Hello, are you there with us? Hi? How 257 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,440 are you fine? How are you? Here's this happy new 258 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:22,879 year to you? 259 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,759 Speaker 7: So experience my question, doctor Jess. 260 00:14:25,919 --> 00:14:28,279 Speaker 8: I have dogs that love to bark all the time. 261 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,960 Sometimes that's nothing. What suggestions do you have? 262 00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 2: Okay? Well, first of all, are they doing it just 263 00:14:33,879 --> 00:14:36,919 as bad when you're home with them or only when 264 00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:37,360 you're gone? 265 00:14:37,799 --> 00:14:38,919 Speaker 8: Usually when I'm gone? 266 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 2: Okay? So the reason I ask is there are two 267 00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:44,840 types of correction that we can use, and when you're 268 00:14:44,879 --> 00:14:47,000 there with them. I don't know if you've ever heard 269 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:52,159 of the penny can. Okay, okay, shaking right right? And 270 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,519 the whole idea is not to freak them, or the 271 00:14:54,559 --> 00:14:57,159 whole idea is that it's a distraction. Did you shake 272 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,320 that can? The noise it's making is a distraction. And 273 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,639 then typically what I would recommend doing is when they 274 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,240 hear the distraction, you call them over to you and 275 00:15:06,279 --> 00:15:08,159 you ask them to sit and give them a treat, 276 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,679 and then pretty soon the association will be that that 277 00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:14,399 noise from the can means a treat, so you don't 278 00:15:14,399 --> 00:15:15,919 have to call them anymore. All you do is they 279 00:15:15,919 --> 00:15:18,559 hear the noise and they come running to you, and 280 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,399 now you have them under your control. But that's when 281 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,240 they're barking when you're there. So what happens when you're not. 282 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,039 One of the best safest ways to prevent the barking, well, 283 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,639 if you have neighbors that are good neighbors that adore 284 00:15:32,679 --> 00:15:35,759 you and your dogs, you can work with your dogs 285 00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:38,120 at home with the penny can and then have your 286 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,559 neighbors shake a can from across the fence or whatever. 287 00:15:41,799 --> 00:15:44,720 That's a good way. Now, when that's not possible, or 288 00:15:44,759 --> 00:15:47,720 you live in an apartment or you're getting complaints, you 289 00:15:47,799 --> 00:15:52,039 need to resort to some kind of remote correction, and 290 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,240 that usually will be in the form of a collar. 291 00:15:54,519 --> 00:15:56,840 There are many types of collars out of the market, 292 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,080 most of which I am very unenamored with, and those 293 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,440 are the ones that will provide some sort of shock. 294 00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:07,720 They're called shock collars. I hate that word shot collar. 295 00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:10,879 I like to call it an electrical impulse collar. But 296 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,200 nonetheless it does give them a little bit of an 297 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:18,320 electric impulse, and I prefer using those only in association 298 00:16:18,679 --> 00:16:23,080 with a certified trainer, a trainer who is very comfortable, 299 00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:27,960 very familiar, because unfortunately, I've seen those backfire where the 300 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,039 dog barks and they get the zapp and now they're 301 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,600 mad that they got the little zapp, so they bark more. 302 00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:36,120 The more they bark, the more the app and it 303 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,000 really will escalate into a dog that's ready to kill 304 00:16:39,039 --> 00:16:41,279 the next person or a thing, or your other dog 305 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,279 that it sees. So I'm not a huge fan. There is, however, 306 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,200 a collar that I do like. It's been certified by 307 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,120 all of the humane groups, and it is the citronella 308 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,639 collar you familiar with that ye keeps thugs away? Yes, okay, 309 00:16:56,879 --> 00:17:00,720 so that's true. So citronella. It comes from citrus fruit 310 00:17:00,759 --> 00:17:05,359 and it's a very very very strong smelling, strong, bitter 311 00:17:05,759 --> 00:17:09,880 tasting spray. What happens is this when a dog barks 312 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,880 and it's wearing a citronella collar and the citch anela 313 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,640 collar is adjusted properly that it will hit all of 314 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,079 the dog's senses to distract them. First of all, it's 315 00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:21,359 going to spray them. They're going to smell the spray. 316 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,359 They're going to taste the spray. They're going to feel 317 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,960 the spray, they're going to hear the sprayer, and they're 318 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,759 going to see the mist in front of their face. 319 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,839 So it hits all of the five senses, all right, 320 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,079 see it, feel it, taste it, smell it, and whichever 321 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,200 one I miss and hear it. So what happens is 322 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,920 it's going to distract them, and they hate the taste 323 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,480 so much they will immediately put together, Oh my god, 324 00:17:43,559 --> 00:17:46,640 every time I bark, I get this spray in the face, 325 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,880 I feel it against my chin, I smell it. I 326 00:17:50,079 --> 00:17:52,279 ate the smell, I ate the taste. I don't like 327 00:17:52,319 --> 00:17:55,680 seeing it. I don't like hearing the wish sound. So 328 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,599 they stop barking. And when it's that work, yeah, and 329 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,400 it's really good. And what's about it is that once 330 00:18:01,839 --> 00:18:05,440 the dog is totally primed to the collar, that and 331 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,680 I've seen this work. It blows my mind that you 332 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,559 don't even have to have it filled anymore. You don't 333 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,480 have to turn it on anymore. All you have to 334 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,759 do is before you leave the house, put the collar 335 00:18:14,839 --> 00:18:17,039 on the dog. And in their mind, they don't know 336 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,799 it's not going to work. They just don't want to bark, 337 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,839 but it is. It's very safe. Because they've become so 338 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,640 popular and they're more and more on the market. Right now, 339 00:18:24,799 --> 00:18:26,880 they've come down in price. You can probably pick one 340 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,839 up for under one hundred bucks. I think it's one 341 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,839 of the market for like fifty bucks. Of course, you 342 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,559 want to get one that's good quality that's going to 343 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,759 last a while, but you have to obviously fill it 344 00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:37,359 good buy citronella spray you feel it like you want 345 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,720 to abut tant a lighter and they're great, and your 346 00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:42,880 chains the batteries is needed. That's what I would do, 347 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,359 only because they're safe, they're effective, and it's something that's 348 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,559 going to provide the correction even in your absence. 349 00:18:49,839 --> 00:18:50,799 Speaker 4: What a great idea. 350 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,039 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. 351 00:18:52,079 --> 00:18:53,519 Speaker 2: So while I have you on the phone, are you 352 00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:55,960 do you know anything about in your area? We were 353 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,599 talking earlier about the pet stores. Are there still mall 354 00:19:00,039 --> 00:19:02,359 related multi pet stores that are selling all these two 355 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,920 little puppies in the window in your town's or city? 356 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 7: You know, I haven't seen many of those. 357 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 2: Where do you live in South Florida? Okay? So I 358 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,559 mean i'd be curious only because we see a lot. 359 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,000 I mean every major mall here in LA used to 360 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,720 have a pet store, and now the only pet stores 361 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,880 we see now because they've been outlawed, are the ones 362 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,240 that are selling rescue dogs, selling shelter dogs, selling breed 363 00:19:24,279 --> 00:19:27,839 rescue group dogs. They're very popular and it's certainly I think, 364 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,160 a nicer way to go. So anyway, try to sit 365 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,480 Chranella callar. We'd love you to get back to us 366 00:19:32,519 --> 00:19:35,079 and kind of let me know how things are working out. 367 00:19:35,559 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: Great. 368 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,039 Speaker 2: Thank you so much, thank you, and any other suggestions 369 00:19:39,039 --> 00:19:42,759 out there again for you listeners, anyone who's tried any 370 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,519 technique to eliminate the uh barking in your pets, And 371 00:19:46,559 --> 00:19:48,839 it's important to know that you want to look for 372 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,319 correction when you're there and when you're not there. I 373 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,359 think we have another caller on the phone. Hello, are 374 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,440 you there? Yeah? Hello, hear me, I can hear you now? 375 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,839 Who's this? How you doing good? Good? 376 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 8: I have a question of how my dog I have 377 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,119 a boy. I guess it's like an uneer doorsal something 378 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,599 like pushing her back like beard. It's like really sensitive there. 379 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,519 I can't tell if that's like like a sweet spot 380 00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:14,160 for her, like she has to be pat there. But 381 00:20:14,279 --> 00:20:17,039 a lot of times, like scratches will just let drop 382 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,599 the floor, you know, like it's so hyper sensitive. I 383 00:20:19,599 --> 00:20:22,559 don't know if that's like a rash or I can 384 00:20:22,759 --> 00:20:24,240 figure out what it is exactly. 385 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,559 Speaker 2: Let me ask a question first of all, does it 386 00:20:26,759 --> 00:20:28,839 just to look at the area, don't touch it yet, 387 00:20:28,839 --> 00:20:31,880 but just to look at the area. Does it look irritated? 388 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,240 Is her hair loss? Is the skin red and inflame? 389 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:35,640 Or does it look totally normal? 390 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 8: There's no hair loss, but you know she's a dark 391 00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:41,519 haired dog, so it's hard to see. I guess it's 392 00:20:41,519 --> 00:20:43,960 hard to see her skin. I can't tell if it's 393 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:44,839 irritated or not. 394 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,279 Speaker 2: Because what you can do is it gently. Two things 395 00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:48,880 come to mind, and you kind of hit the first 396 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,920 one on that head, and that is something skin related, 397 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,960 And what I would recommend doing is gently, you know, 398 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,400 take it like you stand behind her and you kind 399 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,319 of pull the hair backwards against the grain. And why 400 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,920 you're doing it, You're carefully looking at the skin itself. 401 00:21:03,279 --> 00:21:05,559 Is there debris? Is it red and flamed? Are you 402 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,400 feeling scabs or irritation? And if so, then there's a 403 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,960 more likely than not the problem is going to be 404 00:21:13,079 --> 00:21:16,200 skin related. And back there and if you know calling, 405 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,559 you know certain parts of the country, they're still enjoying 406 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,480 very good weather. Back there, you could have still be 407 00:21:21,519 --> 00:21:24,519 having flea problems. And that's certainly possibilities. I don't know. 408 00:21:24,519 --> 00:21:27,079 If you ever see her whip around that neck, that 409 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,960 head and start like little chiseling away at her skin 410 00:21:30,039 --> 00:21:34,039 with her teeth, then that's a high likelihood of some 411 00:21:34,079 --> 00:21:37,400 sort of flea problem or just the secondary issue of 412 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,119 maybe a skin infection. Now, the other thing that you 413 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,240 want to check for and how old is she? 414 00:21:42,279 --> 00:21:44,039 Speaker 8: By the way, she's three three. 415 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, unlikely at free to have this problem, but it's 416 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:52,200 certainly possible. There is a spinal skeletal problem that many 417 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,079 dogs have that also you can barely touch them right 418 00:21:56,079 --> 00:21:58,680 above the base of the tail, and truly they'll drop 419 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,480 into a sit in a second. And that is a 420 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:07,799 lumbo sacral instability. The late term is cauta equina syndrome 421 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,559 where the last lumbar vertebrae as it meets up with 422 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,480 the first saco vertebrae. They call it LS and people 423 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,599 it's L five S one because people only have five 424 00:22:16,839 --> 00:22:19,839 lumbar vertebrate. Dogs have seven so it'll be L seven 425 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,240 S one and there's too much movement, too much laxity 426 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,799 in that area when they put themselves into certain positions, 427 00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:28,000 and the area becomes very sensitive because some of the 428 00:22:28,039 --> 00:22:31,559 nerves as they exit the spinal cord at the LS 429 00:22:31,759 --> 00:22:36,160 region are getting pinched by the vertible movement. And these 430 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,519 dogs are extremely sensitive. You can even have a nice 431 00:22:39,519 --> 00:22:41,359 dog that if you touch hard enough, might even turn 432 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,920 around to try to bite you. But that's a skeletal 433 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,759 problem and that can be diagnosed via X ray. And 434 00:22:46,799 --> 00:22:48,880 what we do is we take a lateral X ray 435 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,400 and we put the legs in three positions. Number one, 436 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,880 we tuck the legs all the way underneath them. We 437 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,720 put them in a natural normal resting position, and then 438 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,960 we take the legs and pull them all the way back. 439 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,279 That's the position and that usually hurts them the most. 440 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,599 And then you compare the three positions and you can 441 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,079 see how much movement is taking place at the LS junction. 442 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,359 And if there's too much laxity, too much movement, very 443 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,839 likely that's the problem. Usually you treat it medically, sometimes 444 00:23:15,279 --> 00:23:17,559 rarely surgically. Mostly it's a medical treatment. But in a 445 00:23:17,559 --> 00:23:20,039 three year old dog, if you are seeing and feeling 446 00:23:20,039 --> 00:23:22,319 maybe some skin out remlodies. I would shoot for the 447 00:23:22,319 --> 00:23:25,720 skin issues number one, and then if everything checks out fine, 448 00:23:25,759 --> 00:23:27,680 then I would take her in have her X ray 449 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,359 and see if you can identify any type of lumbo 450 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,680 sacral movement or laxity and go from there, and then 451 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,079 of course get back stay on afterwards, give your information 452 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,079 to our producer Mark. They'll send it on to us 453 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,079 and we'll send you out maybe a nice vitamin or 454 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,119 a glucosamine supplement for her, and start her on some 455 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,480 good glucosamine that'll help her anyway from her spine. Okay, 456 00:23:49,799 --> 00:23:51,880 thank you very much, thank you, thank you, thanks for 457 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,200 the call.
