Mike, I found out that some other idiot trainer did try that with a friend of mines dogo down in FL. She took her two dogos, intact male,Che, and female,Nina, to a trainer for some OB work. He was an actual canine police officer that she believes was from Baltimore COunty, and he tried the same alpha roll on her male. Che went for him but didn;t get him. Needless to say, that was the last training lesson she did with him! Oh, and then she added that what he did with the prong collars was downright cruel.

wht antibiotics did they try first? where do you currently live, in NY? I give my dogs injections and/or IV’s if needed, but I am also an ER nurse, so I dont see the need to hire someone, unless it really upsets you that much. Did they try baytril yet?

Hi,
i don;t know if there is a “correct way,” except maybe for younger dogs taht haven’t finished growing, as not to damage their growing bones….where I would not have the young dog jumping up to get at the toy. I would have it attached to a bungee so they can tug on it and get a good workout on it, without the extra pounding on the joints from jumping up to get it. I just throw it over a secure branch of a tree and let them have at it. This is Toro at 1.5 years and Chance at 9.5 years on a bungee with a jute bite sleeve attached having at it at the same time(on the video)

These pics are when I first used to hold on to the other end and tease them with it by making it go up and down(this is Chance and my other dogo I had, Paulo). I would never think about having it this high off the ground with a young dog.

I like using AniFlex GL for joint health. It is made for horses, but you can adjust the amount you give obviously to fit for your dog. 2.5 lbs is like $25 and 5 lbs is like $45. Much better bang for the buck. There is also Aniflex Complete that adds in Chondroitin, but is double the cost of the GL.
Mike, I believe the Greenies had caused quite a few FBO’s and some perf’s.
AniFlex GL
AniMedGlucosamine HCL provides the building blocks for the repair of stressed and injured joints damaged by racing, training or any physical events or performances. Glucosamine HCL aids in pain relief and in reducing motion limitation. It is especially effective in post-injury or post-surgery care. Vitamin C is essential for the normal production of collagen, a central component of tendons and other non-muscle soft tissue. Bioflavonoids aid in blocking the same enzyme pathways in the inflammatory response as non-steroidal drugs. Hesperidin aids in the control of the chemicals (free radicals) which release white blood cells to injured areas and the chemicals directly responsible for pain. MSM, a dietary sulfur, is known for its ability to aid sore muscles and joints. Vitamin E has been shown to aid in the protection of cells from damage caused by free radicals.

I sat last night and did some searching to see what dog foods had supplemented l-tryptophan, and there were actually quite a few. I wonder why some do and some don’t, especially if they are adding all the other essential amino acids. I looked at my dog food, Evo Red meat and here is the nutrient analysis , but no l-trypthophan, go figure? Are the amino acids decreased or lost in the whole processing of kibble? Why I am wondering is that Toro, Fe, and the other dogo I had, Paulo, were/are all fed Evo, and all have dog aggression issues. I had put Toro on St John’s Wort about 2 months back to see about the whole serotonin thing, I see a little difference. Now I have to wean off the St John’s Wort and slowly add the l-tryptophan as not to cause a serotonin syndrome. I am also gonna start gving some to Fe also, to see what happens.

Hey Mike,
I also thought you might want to add some videos on the different drives(and show the differences, like the actual bite-full mouth vs shallow, and different barks, body language, etc) that the dogs are worked in and what the purpose is, and why you don’t want to work a breed like the DA in anything but prey drive. People watch “bitework” and think it is all the same drives, and also stereotype all the dogs doing bitework as “human aggressive.”
