Pawsitive Dog Blog News

Nicole Wilde shares a touching moment where she "rescued" a puppy. However, shock turned to horror as it was found out that GSD puppies have energy AND that have an injured claw messed with at the veterinarians might envoke a nip. Truly a heart warming story of "rescue". I would ask you to comment on this on dogstardaily.com or fearfuldogs.com, sadly they both block and monitor comments they don't like. How odd.

Laurie C. Williams comments on her dog's short fallings during a Rally moment. Clearly it wasn't the fault of the trainer not preparing their dog for the environment either thru training or warm up. Maybe it's just me that thinks it was always my fault if my dog is that ill prepared. Didn't know I could just blame it on Jack's short fallings.

Gillian Ridgeway and Kelly Dunbar are now lusting over the term "Balanced Training" and wish to own it under their extrimist views. Wonder why that is? And thanks for the "heads up"?

This dog's owner feels that cheating on AKC guidelines meant to protect the well being of dogs makes her a responsible "show person". Well, thank goodness she got her title even though her dog was uncomfortable.


This dog owner thinks it a far better idea to outlaw responsible breeders (because there are none, don't you know, and instead have only the irresponsibly bred dogs out there). Sounds like a great plan to scrap all the work done in breeding in temperaments and health. Instead we can complete the process of shelters actually becoming the puppy stores that they are beginning to become. Oh yeah, about thirty comments from others and the owner of the blog were deleted, I can only speculate as to why.


This dog owner declares that they rescued (as a healthy puppy-normally we call that buying a puppy) their Dachshund. He calls his dog special needs because he is a normal Dachshund who he hasn't been able to train yet. Sigh. Such great positive rescuers out there.

While you will be able to post any positive comments on their blog (of course), the people who think these things are not representative of the dog community not to mention any part of positive dog care or training, will need to e-mail these people with their discontent. I know I have:)

Too bad you can't think of any real content of your own and just resort to posting links and bashing othe rpeople.

Yes I often here I don't have any real content on this blog [eyes roll].

I think these blog posters do a great job of bashing themselves.

They prefer to be anonymouses too. Unfortunately, I don't pretend they aren't there, and I drag them screaming into the sun light.

They BS way too many people, while going after others and balanced training themselves (and helping AR activists).

They should be able to stand up for what they right themselves, and one of them is probably you:)

Nothing like someone who instead of just taking care of their dog posts this:

To this "ugly" (bloggers words) comment:

"Congratulations. However, please do not bring an injured dog into the ring in the future. AKC has rules about the fact that a dog should be comfortable.

These should be respected not short cut. I understand there is a money thing involved, but my dog’s comfort trumps $$$s any day."

It was an ugly comment because if you have any sense of how well Katie cares for her dogs, you know damned well that Luce was not uncomfortable. You were being spiteful and gross in your comments, just like always.

Robin said...

Nope, sorry I don't. A gaping wound that was not shaved because she had to trial???

Sorry, that is not someone that cares for her dog well.

And exactly what veterinarian is it that allows her to glue up her dog without following their instructions??????

I don't know Katie at all, I just know what she writes, and having your gaping wound dog go to trial and deliberately shirking rules is pretty ugly.

As well as stating that dogs are luxury items. THAT'S A PERSON THAT CARES FOR HER DOGS????

Sorry, I will stick with people that actually do care for their dogs, and don't call themselves dog people when they do something so careless.

I believe this Anonymouses name might be Marie. Who has her own issues.

Robin said...

Unlike these anonymouses, I keep the comments and my names out there. It's interesting to see these guys are too afraid to crawl out from under their rocks into the light of day.

Call me crazy but a lady that brings in her dog with bad knees as well....LOL, sorry not what I consider "taking care of your dogs well".

A vet tech no less, who should be educated enough to know distracted dogs don't acknowledge their pain, and even when less distracted tend to mask their pain.

Also someone who thinks it's no big deal that her dogs have attacked neighborhood cats. In fact, it's the stupid cats fault. Don't bother to train your dog for prey drive or anything like that.

And isn't her cat missing now? I am not meaning to suggest that her own dogs disposed of the cat, but again.....

Um, personally, I have higher expectations of dog AND cat care. Maybe her cat was too "stupid" in a dog's yard.

Yes, and someone so nervous going to training classes that she would cry the whole way. Nothing wrong with her. And she's was attending PP agility classes for the love of God.
