How effective would it be for a 2 month old Australian Shephard that is out of control. He loves to turn over water bowls (it's 110 degrees here), jump other dogs and cats. Goes to the bathroom inside the house and tears apart everything.

Oh and how much does it cost?

How much is nail clipping for a small Chihuahua?

So, how did your Saturday go? Mine went like this. I got up at 6 am and checked the http://www.saveourpetsfoodbank.org website to make sure they were open.

As a proud member of the working poor, I'm forced to get help to cover certain expenses when I'm between freelance positons. I often get a little help from my church. I scrimp on EVERYTHING, so usually the only help I ask for is decent pet food. I had my heart torn to pieces right before the pet food recall when my perfectly healthy dog mysteriously got sick and died over the course of a couple weeks. I refuse to buy crappy pet food, and I'm not too proud to beg to keep my "children" safe.

After the little bruhaha a couple weeks ago when a reader asked me if SOPFB was still operating (and the answer was supposedly yes), I decided to go there to see what the place was like. I checked their web site last night, early this morning, and right before I left for the hour long drive there.

Fully caffinated for the drive I reached their offices at just a few minutes after they were supposed to open - 10 am. I walk up to the door and like a scene from bizarro world Clerks, there's a piece of paper taped to the door that basically reads, "I ASSURE YOU, WE'RE CLOSED!"

Apparrently , this charity that supposedly gets support from a number of local charities, as well as sponsorship from national groups (like the PetSmart charities), ran out of food and didn't bother to tell anyone.

A third of a tank of gas for the round trip probably would have covered one bag of store brand dog food (not enough to get through the month, but it would have helped), and I burned it away for nothing. They did not just run out in the 4 or 5 minutes difference between when I arrived and when they opened. They had to have known for days and just didn't bother to alert any of their poor and desperate clients who spend a not insignificant part of what little money they have to get to the SOPFB offices.

Several people in cars came while I was there including existing customers, and no one had been informed. SOPFB has a blog, for cripes sake - it can be used for more than posting PR, you know.

Is Save Our Pets Food Bank just extremely unorganized, or is it something else? The For Sale sign really is there in front of the building.

If anyone has taken the classes Id like some feedback..... was it worth the money? did it seem like they were training your dog hands on? did the trainer personally helped with issues, or did he/she just basically read out of a book out loud to everyone? how did the trainer interact with each student? did it feel like a personal session or di it seem overcrowded and hard to keep up? thanks in advance.
