FINALLY! I have finally found a natural chew for Paris. Deer antlers! They don't stink, smell, or splinter. My sister-in-law took me to a doggie store while I was in Southern California last week. I mentioned to the owner that I have a prolific chewer and that I hate giving her nylabones. The owner told me about deer antlers, so I bought a 7 inch long piece. So far, Paris loves it. It's also ok to get them naturally; when the deer shed the antlers. Try to make sure the antler hasn't been laying out in the sun for an extended period of time though. Amazon.com sells them too.

Someone got a haircut. I think I hate it, and I did it to her. I ruined my little girl. Or, does she look like a puppy? She sure acts like a puppy.

The new training facility did not work out. The trainer seemed ok, however, the facility was very small. There wasn't any room to work the dogs. There were a couple of nasty dogs in Paris' class which made it impossible to even hear instructions. If you did hear instructions, there was no room to move around. I did take Paris to 2 classes. I left the 2nd class very anxious because I was fearful of one of the dogs! When I took Frasier to his class, it was worse. I do realize that everyone is there to learn. Frasier's class was an advanced class and not one person had control over their dog. It was "Finishing School". The dog on our left wanted to kill Frasier. The dog on the right had a muzzle on. There were 12 dogs in a small space. Class started at 6:00 pm. I had gotten my check back and was in my car at 6:01 pm. I would not recommend the place to anyone.

I have not given up! Next I will try Spokane Dog Trainers. The humans go and register on March 31. The trainers will all be there and help decide which class best suits each dog. Then the dogs start school the first week in April.
