Yes Ace likes it. From when he was a pup I had a set of steps that went to a hot tub [we no longer have the hot tub but still have the steps] and I trained him to go up on the steps while I brushed him. Now all I have to do is set the steps down while holding the zoom groom and he steps right up...

Agree with what the others have said. I posted what I do and then realized ya'll were talking about a hotspot and I was thinking ringworm. My bad

I'm all ears on some help on this issue as well. Ace is the same way, for the first year or so not so much, unless there was some yeast problems and I would address those and all was good. But now he is three and for the past year or so the odor has gotten worse. I give him regular baths but two...

Congratulations! Hope you have a great day

Ace will be three in October and he is intact and we have no behavioral issues related to him being so. No humping, marking in the home or aggression. Here are some links, hope they are all still active, that I hope will help you make your choice. Ted Kerasote author of Merle’s Door and Pukka’s...

Thanks, that makes sense to me and 3 to 1 seems more like it as well.

Yesterday I received a gallon of this product and I have a question for those who have been using it on your dogs. My question is on the dilution. The product states its 2% and to dilute 2 tbs per gallon of water. But that seems to be quite diluted a mixture. If the product is 2% why not use it...

Ace gets those too on occasions, sporadic as well, with only one or two appearing at a time and they go away about as fast as they appear. Don't know what causes it but its not wide spread nor do they last or cause any hair loss or very little. Usually they simply rub right off as well and leave...

I have fed Ace once a day since he was about a year old. He does get some relatively light treats first thing in the morning but the bulk of his food comes in the one evening meal. It hasn't hurt him one bit. He is quite a bit larger than the breeder estimated he would be at maturity. The...

Ace was potty trained in 7 to 10 days, I can't remember exactly but 10 days or less. He is over 2 years old and has never had one accident in the house, except for the couple of times he had diarrhea in his crate when we were not at home. We also have a neutered Maltese that is over 4 years old...

Sweet

I use a zoom groom as well and brush daily, though on occasions I will skip a day. Even so there is still alot of shedding and just recently bought a new vacuum, the type that doesn't require bags because after every two or three times vacuuming I would have to replace the bag as there was so...

If corrective surgery is required for your dog then I trust that all will go well and your dog will make a complete and quick recovery. I wish you well as I am sure its a frightening prospect but its for the dog's well being. May all go well

Yes I used a prong collar in training Ace an OEB. I think if properly used, like the gentleman in the video illustrated and if you get a good piece of equipment, like a heavy duty Herm Springer prong collar then they are an effective and safe training device. A well made prong collar such as the...
