Question by Roz: dog grooming equipment and tools? I am wanting got start a new career in dog grooming. I know an company near me is offering a course which is 24 days and gets you training in what you need to know for £3800 plus £500 for registration for exams with NPTC and you get a few things with that. But I am wondering when i become qualified would whoever I work for provide the tools or would I need to buy my own? Where would be the best place to buy them from and how much should i expect to pay?
Any help would be grateful

Answer by mauveme49 The price of that course is scandalous. You will learn nothing in 24 days. Go to a grooming salon and ask if you could apprentice with them. Tell them you will do it for nothing or very little, You will learn much more. We taught groomers basic clipping in a 16 week course for a third of that. There is a college near me that offers grooming courses that are several months long. And that just covers basic poodle grooming.

Question by neoinmatrix: Is Karen Pryor dog training program worth it? My wife is thinking about enrolling for Karen Pryor dog trainer program (http://www.karenpryoracademy.com/). It takes four months and costs around $ 5500. I was wondering if anyone has any idea about how much this program is worth doing for starting a new business. We have recently moved to central NJ and don’t know about the kind of demand for a dog trainer from this academy. Do people seek out Karen Pryor certified trainers? How does one go about starting a home business with this certificate? Any ideas/suggestions welcome. I want to emphasis that we are trying to understand the prospectus of acquiring this certification. In other words, will it pay off in the end? Is it hard to start your own dog training business? Does this certificate help in that?

Answer by Curtis M WINS! FLAWLESS VICTORY! It’s not worth 5 bucks. If she wants to go to a quality school Tom Rose’s and Michael Ellis’ are the only 2 worth visiting.
-edit- I’ve got about half a million TDs but the fact of the matter is the only kennels making money are working dog kennels and huge show kennels (which are usually breeders of working dogs as well)…they will literally laugh at you if you come in with a Karen Pryor School of Hugging and Kissing Pooches Certificate. She’s a comedian’s wife who had to call the DOG WHISPERER for help…ENOUGH SAID!
-edit- Ayla…the best dog trainers on the planet train in protection sports simply because they are the most demanding of a dog. Anybody can get a dog to obey on a well manicured lawn during an AKC OB event, it’s harder when you have to do the same obedience on a field with gunfire, decoys throwing stuff, chasing each other, and throwing food around while the dog is in the highest amount of drive possible. As common sense would negate such a training atmosphere would breed the best trainers in the World…and it does.
Secondly Mike Ellis doesn’t do Schutzhund at all, he is last years Mondioring 3 Champion…learn your training disciplines before you talk crap.
Lastly Mike Ellis DOES use marker and clicker training as well so your argument has no basis and no leg to stand on.
If you can find something intelligent that would prove that indeed doing obedience with high drive dog in a very charged atmosphere doesn’t call for better training than using a clicker to teach a low drive BYB dog to sit be my guest
When Karen Pryor who won’t even be teaching a class and has never been competitive in any form of dog training does something worthwhile let me know. Heck when one of her STUDENTS do something worth mentioning let me know. Nobody cares about how good her trainers claim they are, what have they done, in what have they competed, what have they WON?

Question by Annonymous: Neighbor’s 5 page letter? Hi, I have an adorable little yorkie that is my pride and joy. I just moved to a new city and a new demanding job, and despite many challenges to find a place that allows pets, I lucked out and did. My commute to work is 1 hr door to door, and my job demands extremely long hours. I usually leave for work at 8am and don’t return until around 8 – 10 pm. That unfortunately means my dog is home alone all day. She is pad trained, always has food and water, and toys to play with.
I came home to an extremely nasty letter a couple days ago, where my neighbors have crucified me for what they concluded is going on. They have called me names, neglectful, that I treat my dog as an accessory. They have reported me to the pet authorities, and have judged me for having a “prestegious job” in the city. All this without ever meeting me or knowing my situation. What should I do? Pet day care is too expensive. Do they have grounds to take my dog away?
Help!
Best answer:
Answer by chomsky_cody You could hire a pet sitter to come by once a day in the middle of the day to take care of your yorkie for a bit. Even hiring someone who doesn’t do it officially would work and not be as pricey. That is a long time to leave a dog alone. Dogs are pack animals and need their pack (you). Even doggy day care once or twice a week might not be as pricey.
As for your neighbors, your dog has food, water, toys and a place to go potty. They need to MYOB.
Furthermore, do they have nothing better to do with their time? A 5 page letter? I wouldn’t read past the first page. Who cares what they think? If you didn’t work, you couldn’t afford to take care of the dog!

Question by : I was just given a 6 week old Labrador and I need help house breaking and training her, any tips? She is only 6 weeks because her mother was hit by a car, . She is fed properly for her age and completely healthy. I would like to just start housebreaking her and training her not to bite or chew. She is currently wearing diapers during the day and then left in a room with a crate on one end and a puppy pad on the other but she doesn’t use the puppy pad even though I keep putting her on it. any help would be greatly appreciated She is wearing an actual PUPPY diaper not a BABY diaper first of all. Second, my vet (the one with the degree) told me they are completely safe and to make sure I change every time she goes which I do. She eats 3x a day INCLUDING a special mouse for puppies who have left their mom before 8 weeks and she is on vitamins recommended by my vet. Also, the reason I asked for tips is because FROM RESEARCH I have learned you can START potty training LARGE BREED dogs from 6 weeks. I don’t expect it to happen overnight. So please, before you “try” to act like you know something actually go out and get reliable information. And, she pees and poops whenever she likes regardless if she has just drank or has eaten recently and I already take her out once every hour.Tthe diaper is a PRECAUTION because a 3 year old lives in my house and I don’t want him stepping in something FULL of bacteria and getting sick because I turned my back for a few minutes and she decided to go.

Answer by leia Take her out every 2 hours. It will be annoying for you but she will get the hint and catch on quickly.
Question by g0Ld215: have you ever given a dog raw meat and had problems then cured them with boiled meat? I read and seen so much about cooked meat causing problems and now I see raw meat doing the same. Is it the breed, the dna, the age? I read somewhere the red haired dogs have more problems then others. Is this why she seems to do better vegan?
Best answer:
Answer by Geramy I read your last post, its not the vegan, vegan is deadly for dogs, esp the garlic you can find in it, its the fact that she didn’t go to the vets, food doesn’t cure sprained ankles rest, and vets, do.
