I am looking to try this as well - what temp would you say I should set the oven to? (I am not a cook by any means so "low heat" means very little to me!)

Why don't you put it somewhere high where the pups can't get to it? The bubbles will still fall down to their level, won't they?

I used the nifty search tool on this forum to search "bubbles" and found the following threads, all of which answer the question of where to purchase one: http://www.victoriastilwell.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2060 http://www.victoriastilwell.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1484 http://www.vict...

I am looking into using a DAP diffuser for Murphy. I've had someone suggest either the diffuser for in the house or the spray to spray on a banada he can wear when we go out. My first question is: If I get a DAP diffuser for home, can I plug it into a room where he's crated during the day and then m...

My 13-month rescued Lab mix Murphy is very skittish on walks. He was doing very well for a while when I walked him to the dog park (2 miles) daily through our semi-busy streets. But when I got a bike and started running him to the park, he started regressing a little on walks since he was running mo...

Noobs is trying to teach him to speak so she can teach him the quiet command, yes there is a reason to teach a dog to speak on command, but you don't need it to teach them to be quiet on command. You're right, I suppose I've read (and seen on Victoria's program) where you teach the dog quiet by tea...

Murphy is not a barker, so I haven't had a chance to teach him to speak (in order to teach the quiet command as well). He will only bark when someone comes into the house (alert bark only, not aggressive bark, thank goodness). Last night our neighbors were outside our door rustling around and he sta...

Mollysmom: Thank you SO MUCH for posting that article. I've had some issues with Murphy (12-month old rescue Lab mix) lately, growling and lunging toward certain dogs on our street and that article was such an eye-opener. There was an incident involving other dogs at the dog park the other day and M...

It's really a shame that Victoria has chosen to ignore this thread. I think these are very important questions that will give us more insight into her thoughts and feelings about responsible dog ownership. I would try to give Victoria the benefit of the doubt. Considering that her US show IMOTD is ...

I think you mean Laurie and you're right, she definitely had the best posture. But she had the advantage in that Andrew wasn't at all interested in toys or people who weren't Laurie.

I thought that JD's vocalizations weren't nearly as harsh-sounding as Teresa's, who kept yelling 'Ahhhh! Ah-ahhh!" And I heard JD say "Good girl" several times during the challenge - the other contestants were just making a lot more noise than he was so it was difficult to hear him. T...

When we first got Murphy he had a ton of energy and would run laps around our apartment. We don't have a front yard and walks weren't doing it for him. He is also left at home while we're at work, so we have to make up for it by spending most of our evenings exercising him. He gets two hours of runn...

Just so you know, it seems that walkydog tool is selling out pretty well and is out of stock on a lot of sites. I had to buy mine from a random site I found by googling "walky dog", and unfortunately had to pay about $15 more. But it is WELL worth it. I bike Murphy to the dog park (2 miles...

Re: pulling I use the Sporn Halter and it's amazing. Murphy stopped pulling right after we put it on. He can't choke in it because when he pulls, the collar gets pulled downward. Here's their site: http://www.sporn.com/product_info.php?products_id=28 But you can buy it cheaper here: http://www.jbpet...

I missed last night's episode. I just read the recap on dogster.com and it sounds like another controversial episode. What are your thoughts?
