Mod_Mary:

@DawgBlogger deerflies are EVERYWHERE! awful! #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:
|
@DawgBlogger Have you tried Listerine and water
for deerflies? Had a guy at the dog park swear by it. #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@Bolonee Are you walking ur dogs in this heat? #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
@Bolonee it's best when one can make it early in the morning #barkoutloud We even get up at five sometimes |
|
DaisyWunderDog:
|
@Bolonee We have an indoor dog park here now - good in summer and winter! #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
My dogs aren't crazy about walks in the heat.. yours? #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@DawgBlogger you're my hero... get up at 5? #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
@DaisyWunderDog Listerine? Really? No, haven't tried that yet #barkoutloud |
|
Bolonee:
|
Very early in the am..before work..but they miss their afternoon walk when hot #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@DawgBlogger You got deerflies? #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
@Mod_Mary LOL anything for my dogs #barkoutloud depends on hubby's schedule |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
RT @foster_sj: r dog is restless in this heat. Has thick coat. Gets yeast infections between her toes and on her muzzle. #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
@DaisyWunderDog Will surely look it up and try #barkoutloud |
|
Bolonee:
|
I do let them play in the sprinkler sometimes...some days they like it some days they don't #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
@Mod_Mary yeah, down here and up north, both #barkoutloud Black Flies the worst though |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@DawgBlogger blackflies, mosquitos, deer flies. #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
What s a good repellant? ne1 know? #barkoutloud |
|
dancingdogblog:
|
@DaisyWunderDog :)) #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:
|
Every year I put out a kiddie pool for the dogs. Jasper loves it, Daisy thinks it's a big water dish! #barkoutloud |
|
Bolonee:
|
oh..yea! Lili especially LOVES the sprinkler! I have to replace it often..lol! #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@Mod_Lorie @Foster_SJ, did you get that? #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
@DaisyWunderDog will certainly research, nothing else worked yet, just one product we can't get any more #barkoutloud |
|
tacrabtree:
|
@Mod_Mary - our labs bite the top of the sprinkler off if not watched very closely. They get intense to "get" that water LOL
#barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
@Mod_Mary Hate them bugs! #barkoutloud |
|
Finch93:
|
@Mod_Mary #yeastinfections #WhatDrHustonSaid #Really Treat the yeast and find the underlying cause! Often allergies #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@tacrabtree Oh my! #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
@Mod_Mary at least this year no ticks (fingers crossed) #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
So, what's a good repellant? #barkoutloud |
|
foster_sj:
|
@Mod_Mary Got it! Thank you. : ) #barkoutloud |
|
Bolonee:
|
@tacrabtree I have the kind to connect to the hose... #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:
|
@DawgBlogger Here's a good start! http://curezone.com/blogs/fm.asp?i=973782 #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
@Finch93 yeast as a result of allergies? #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
We're talkin repellants, yeast infections between the toes..water in a hose, sprinkler.. #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:
|
River for us.RT @DawgBlogger: @DaisyWunderDog @Bolonee getting wet = keeping cool = good stuff. We go to a lake when we can #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@DaisyWunderDog thanks! #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
For heat, I actually get my dogs a haircut: http://twitpic.com/1ljdst It actually helps them. But never shave. #barkoutloud |
|
tacrabtree:
|
@Bolonee - They'll bite the top off those too!!
#barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
@Mod_Lorie @Mod_Mary just saying that haven't found a thing that really worked and was safe. Deer fly patches work quite good #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Lorie:
|
Careful of water in a hose on a hot summer day. Let it run to get rid of the hot water in the hose before you spray your pooch. #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@Mod_Hilary oh my! are those your dogs? #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:
|
@Mod_Hilary That's not a shave? #barkoutloud |
|
Bolonee:
|
I have 4 dogs...unless someone is with me I can't handle them all at the river #barkoutloud |
|
KelleyDenz:
|
@Mod_Hilary so cute with their haircuts #barkoutloud |
|
Bolonee:
|
LOL!! RT @tacrabtree: @Bolonee - Theyll bite the top off those too!! #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@DawgBlogger I heard deer flies are attracted to the color blue. learned it in church. #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
No, not considered a shave. The hair is an inch long. RT @DaisyWunderDog: @Mod_Hilary Thats not a shave? #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:
|
Agree! RT @KelleyDenz: @Mod_Hilary so cute with their haircuts #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:
|
Really? Wow. RT @Mod_Mary: @DawgBlogger I heard deer flies are attracted to the color blue. learned it in church. #barkoutloud |
|
Bolonee:
|
@Mod_Lorie Absolutely! #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
Thanks. They're really Border Collies. RT @DaisyWunderDog: Agree! RT @KelleyDenz: @Mod_Hilary so cute with their haircuts #barkoutloud |
|
tacrabtree:
|
is Avon's Skin So Soft still a good repelant? #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@Mod_Hilary adorable! #barkoutloud |
|
Finch93:
|
@DawgBlogger yes-a greater probability of yeast being a problem w allergies - allergies can goof up the immune system #barkoutloud |
|
Bolonee:
|
RT @tacrabtree: is Avons Skin So Soft still a good repelant? #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
Oh, forgot about that. RT @tacrabtree: is Avons Skin So Soft still a good repellant? #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@Finch93 we've discovered that @Foster_SJ pup, Kita is allergic to grain.. #barkoutloud |
|
dancingdogblog:
|
@Mod_Hilary Yes, shaving changes the hair and leaves no protection from sunburn - agree:) #barkoutloud |
|
tacrabtree:
|
@Mod_Hilary - They look cute, but I'ld call that a buzz cut #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
RT @Mod_Hilary: Oh, forgot about that. RT @tacrabtree: is Avons Skin So Soft still a good repellant? *wondered abt that* #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:
|
Anyone had to tell someone not to leave their dog in the car yet? #barkoutloud |
|
foster_sj:
|
Our dog just has a tendency for yeast infections, and the heat inspires more of it. #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Lorie:
|
Agree also. RT @dancingdogblog: @Mod_Hilary Yes, shaving changes the hair and leaves no protection from sunburn - agree:) #barkoutloud |
|
KelleyDenz:
|
@tacrabtree it works good for humans not so sure it's ok for dogs #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
be right back, gotta go find my dogs... they're in the woods... #barkoutloud |

DawgBlogger:

DawgBlogger:

Don't leave your dog in a hot car. Period. #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
@DaisyWunderDog just on Yahoo Answers #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
Oh no, just hearing early fireworks! My dogs are freaking out... They'll be ok, but they need their t-shirts. #barkoutloud |
|
Bolonee:
|
My dog rescue Angel is recovering from Demodex mange. Has most of her hair back does she need sunscreen? #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:
|
Amen! RT @Mod_Mary: Dont leave your dog in a hot car. Period. #barkoutloud |

Mod_Hilary:

RT @dancingdogblog: @Mod_Hilary Yes,thats what I asked for and did not get last year - one inch, boy was I steamed! Poor Tashi:( #barkoutloud |

|
dancingdogblog:
|
@Mod_Hilary Did you get the thundershirt for your dogs? #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Lorie:
|
@Mod_Hilary Yeah, I would think your guy should be okay with an inch. It's when they're shaved to the skin.... #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
RT @Bolonee: My dog rescue Angel is recovering from Demodex mange. Has most of her hair back does she need sunscreen? #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
@Mod_Hilary our late girl hated fireworks. Our present guys don't care at all #barkoutloud |
|
tacrabtree:
|
@Mod_Hilary - it grows back fast : ) #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:

Yes! RT @Finch93: @Mod_Hilary Unanimous? #YourDogsAreSuperCute #TheirHaircutsAreBothGorgeousAndProtective http://twitpic.com/1ljdst #barkoutloud |

|
Mod_Mary:
|

|
Finch93:

@DaisyWunderDog :D #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
Whew! RT @Mod_Lorie: @Mod_Hilary Yeah, I would think your guys should be okay with an inch. Its when theyre shaved to the skin.... #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:
|
@dancingdogblog I have a Thundershirt for Daisy. Has worked for every Thunderstorm so far this year. #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
NOT! Everyone's dogs are the cutest! RT @Mod_Mary: its unanimous. Hilarys dogs are the cutest... #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
*Sigh*.... what to do about thunderstorms... fireworks? #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:
|
Waiting to see if Thundershirt works for fireworks #hopeso #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
Yes, but have been using t-shirts. RT @Bolonee: @Mod_Hilary You have thundershirt? Igot one for Lili...shes terrified of fireworks! #barkoutloud |
|
Finch93:
|
@Mod_Hilary Which means of course that your dogs are TIED for cutest #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@Mod_Hilary you're dogs are the cutest tonight then. #barkoutloud |
|
tacrabtree:
|
@DaisyWunderDog - a thundershirt huh, maybe that would help my hound who is so afraid of noises #barkoutloud |
|
Bolonee:
|
My vet just prescribed Lili xanax for her Fireworks fear...I was shocked! #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Lorie:
|
@DaisyWunderDog Was just going to ask if anyone had tried the Thundershirt. Thanks. Anyone else? Success/failure? #barkoutloud |
|
foster_sj:
|
I sit with my dog and give her a treat once she's settled down. #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
I paid $25 at @NicoleWilde's seminar. RT @Mod_Mary: @DaisyWunderDog Really? Thundershirt? How much $? #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:
|
I think I paid $30-$40 via JohanntheDogRT @Mod_Mary: @DaisyWunderDog Really? Thundershirt? How much $? #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
You could use a tight T. RT @tacrabtree: @DaisyWunderDog - a thundershirt huh, maybe that would help my hound afraid of noises #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@Bolonee Really? Why... #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
Thundershirts are worth it? #barkoutloud |
|
Finch93:
|
@Mod_Lorie Where's @lookwhatlabs? She has had good experience with #Thundershirts! #barkoutloud |
|
Bolonee:
|
T-shirt has been a god-send for Lili! She is a very fearful dog! #barkoutloud |
|
tacrabtree:
|
@DaisyWunderDog - would a T-shirt that fit tight work? #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:
|
@tacrabtree I use Thundershirt for situations where I know Daisy will be more nervous than usual #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Lorie:
|
@Bolonee Actually a common phobia drug for short term use in situations like T-storms and fireworks. #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
How scared do they have to be b/f you put a thundershirt on em? #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Lorie:
|
Thanks! RT @Finch93: @Mod_Lorie Wheres @lookwhatlabs? She has had good experience with #Thundershirts! #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
The old method of not petting dogs during noise fear has transformed into yes, petting is ok, reassuring fine. McConnell/Wilde. #barkoutloud |
|
tacrabtree:
|
@Bolonee I'll try that w/mine. My T-shirt might not fit him, have to get man sized LOL #barkoutloud |
|
Bolonee:
|
@Mod_Mary she is very fearful of a lot of things...even submissive peed at the vet. Xanax to clm her, but I will try t-shirt first #barkoutloud |
|
Finch93:
|
@Mod_Mary I'd think before the craziness starts would be ideal... #Thundershirts #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
I just put one on when storm coming &July 4. RT @Mod_Mary: How scared do they have to be b/f you put a thundershirt on em? #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Lorie:
|
Yes, me too. RT @Finch93: @Mod_Mary Id think before the craziness starts would be ideal... #Thundershirts #barkoutloud |

RT @Mod_Mary: How scared do they have to be b/f you put a thundershirt on em? #barkoutloud ///thundershirt???!!!!!! @JustAnotherTrnd |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
It shld be tight, then rubberband on side. RT @tacrabtree: @Bolonee Ill try that w/mine. My T-shirt might not fit him #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:
|
@tacrabtree Probably. Same concept as used with Autistic Children. Here's my blog post http://tinyurl.com/36hnr5n #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Lorie:
|
@Bolonee Can try DAP also. #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@Finch93 I mean, how do you know if you're dog's anxiety warrants a thundershirt? #barkoutloud |
|
tacrabtree:
|
@Mod_Lorie @Finch93 @Mod_Mary - I'll try that & let you guys know if it works for Sammy #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Lorie:
|
@Mod_Mary Any anxiety probably warrants some type of control, whether it be a Thundershirt, DAP or some other device/tactic. #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@DaisyWunderDog So, pacing could indicate... #barkoutloud |
|
Finch93:
|
@tacrabtree K! #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
there are dog videos that include desensitation track Stanley Coren made some #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
Maybe use spandex, tighter fit. RT @Bolonee but I will try t-shirt first #barkoutloud |
|
dancingdogblog:
|
@Mod_Hilary I've been counter conditioning during the storms with some limited success, but what happens if I'm not home--ThndrShrt #barkoutloud |
|
Bolonee:
|
@Mod_Lorie DAP?? #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:
|
@Bolonee I started off just trying shirt in winter (daisy can be jumpy)-she is much, much less jumpy now. #barkoutloud |
|
DFApothecary:
|
Wow RT @Bolonee: My vet just prescribed Lili xanax for her Fireworks fear...I was shocked! #barkoutloud |
|
tacrabtree:
|
I had a major break thru w/Sammy this week. He got scared when asleep in his bed when my shower rod broke & shampoo etc crashed #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
they have relaxing sounds with fireworks, thunder, gunshots mixed in http://bit.ly/caS00h #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
Yes, plus cc! RT @Mod_Lorie: @Mod_Mary Any anxiety probably warrants some type of control, Thundershirt, DAP or some other tactic. #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Lorie:
|
DAP=Dog appeasing pheromone. Calming. Available in a collar, spray or diffuser. Great for mild anxietyRT @Bolonee: @Mod_Lorie DAP?? #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@tacrabtree Tell us, tell us... #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:
|
Oh no! RT @tacrabtree: I had a major break thru w/Sammy this wk. He got scared when my shower rod broke & shampoo etc crashed #barkoutloud |
|
tacrabtree:
|
to the shower floor while he was sleeping in his bed in the middle of the night. Then wouldn't lay in his bed again cause it could #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@DawgBlogger gunshots are not okay around here...that means no walk. #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Lorie:
|
@Bolonee DAP is also very safe. No drugs or chemicals, just the pheromone, which is actually produced by mother dogs to calm pups. #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
Also that recording from @throughadogsear. RT @DawgBlogger:sounds with fireworks, thunder, gunshots mixed in http://bit.ly/caS00h #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:
|
@tacrabtree Can so relate. Been there. #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
Jasmine gets spooked only when thunder really close and loud when outside, no after effect though #barkoutloud |
|
Bolonee:
|
@Mod_Lorie I tried "Contenum" last year..didn't work. She has a very strong fear :-( #barkoutloud |
|
Finch93:
|
@Mod_Lorie Do ya like them? I have heard good things but have no first hand experience #DAP some with kitties #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
@Mod_Mary well, it's meant for hunting dogs I guess, wouldn't go out when gunshots either :-) #barkoutloud |
|
Bolonee:
|
@Mod_Lorie Where can I find this DAP? #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Lorie:
|
@Bolonee Not familiar with Contenum..sorry it didn't work for you though. #barkoutloud |
|
tacrabtree:
|
Well the treat thing wasn't working, wouldn't lay down so I started having the lab lay in his bed, over & over, he kept watchin her #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
@tacrabtree Yeah, you mentioned how hard it was. How did you get him to relax after that? #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@tacrabtree Aww... poor pup... #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
@Mod_Lorie yeah, heard of that pheromone #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
Petsmart/Petco has it. RT @Bolonee: @Mod_Lorie Where can I find this DAP? #barkoutloud |
|
dancingdogblog:
|
Gd Idea RT @Mod_Lorie: @Bolonee DAP also v.safe. No drugs, chemicals, just pheromone actually produced by mother dogs to calm pups. #barkoutloud |
|
tacrabtree:
|
This morning he reclaimed his bed & laid in it the whole time I got ready for work, treat after treat, so major break thru - #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Lorie:
|
@Finch93 Love em. Have several clients & some staff members using them with great success. Use Feliway (kitty version) for my cats #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
DAP sprayed around before group class helps calm the dogs considerably! Lot less anxiety, barking, etc. #barkoutloud |
|
Keeping_Awake:
|
@tacrabtree Congratulations! That's great!
#barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@tacrabtree So, where are you with your pup at this point? Things getting better? #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Lorie:
|
@tacrabtree Oh, good news. So glad to hear it. #barkoutloud |
|
Finch93:
|
@Mod_Mary Oh! #AnxietyWarrentingAThundershirt I would think ANY signs of anxiety would be worth treating-drooling, pacing, wideeyed #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:

Yes Congrats! Feels good no? RT @Keeping_Awake: @tacrabtree Congratulations! Thats great! #barkoutloud |

|
DawgBlogger:
|
@Mod_Hilary using DAP in the class? Very cool! #barkoutloud |
|
Finch93:
|
@Mod_Mary no downside to Thundershirt or DAP, go for big guns if anxiety is severe or first things don't work! #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
of course there is always the 'super puppy' program that makes dogs resiliant to such things #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
Seems to work! Learned at a training seminar w/other trainers. RT @DawgBlogger: @Mod_Hilary using DAP in the class? Very cool! #barkoutloud |

Will go looking for DAP asap. I have three dogs who are anguished during thunderstorms. Tired of sharing my bed. #barkoutloud |

@DaisyWunderDog @Mod_Hilary @Mod_Mary @Mod_Lorie Thanks guys. You talking about thunderstorms? Anxiety? #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Hilary:
|
@LindaVining Be aware that DAP isn't always magic--sometimes doesn't work. But plug-ins next to crates helpful, too! Try spray &see #barkoutloud |

@CosmoHavanese Noise anxiety in general, but thunder would certainly count!
